Whatever It Takes

Chapter 55

I'm trying to find a better way...
But I'm trapped.. can't get away,
All I think is about yesterday.

Meredith walked out of the OR with a heavy sigh as she took off her mask and tossed it in the garbage... she scrubbed out quickly hoping to finish up the post op notes so that she could get the next case out of the way and on to her dinner plans...

She walked towards the nurses station when something caught her eye.. standing there was a petite figure with dark curly hair wearing dress pants and a nice sweater... her jaw stiffened as she approached the desk..

"What the hell are you doing here!?" she called out watching her jump and face her...

"I um..." Christina stuttered "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I got called in." she retorted...

"Well... I did too." Christina replied slyly... Meredith narrowed her eyes crossing her arms "Ok so maybe I called myself in but they obviously need surgeons I mean look at this stack of charts!"

"You promised Christina.. we all promised Izzy." Meredith mumbled...

"Oh like you're going to make it back in time."

"I am!" Meredith retorted widening her eyes... "And shouldn't you be there with what's his name?"

"I was there with what's his name." Christina muttered "He was freaking me out by helping Izzy cook and so I left to get alcohol."

"Christina!"

"Hey do not judge me.. you're supposed to be there with the vet."

"I will be there with the vet.. the vet is there.. waiting for me.. and I will make it!"

"So Izzy wont even notice us gone, she's got plenty of company with Alex, George and the other guys."

"Oh god." Meredith mumbled widening her eyes.. "Izzy is going to hate us."

"Why?" Christina frowned..

"We've turned her dinner into boyfriend dumping grounds."

"I thought you said that Finn wasn't your boyfriend?" Christina questioned...

"He's not... he's... look the point is we're supposed to be there and we're not.. I have to be there and you don't so for the sake of Izzy dying of testosterone overdose please go."

Christina opened her mouth to argue but Meredith was giving her a death glare, and with how emotional Meredith's been lately and how her life's been turned upside down she wouldn't put it past her to commit murder...

Christina let out a sigh and shot her a glare as she pointed her finger at her...

"I hate you on principle right now."

"That's fine." Meredith shrugged "I kind of hate myself at the moment as well... now go."

"I'm going, I'm going."

"Oh and tell Iz I'll be there by dinner time.. I promise!"

Christina cured up her lip and let out a snicker as she muttered back...

"Yeah, good luck with that."
