Elevator Love Letter

                                    

                                          
Alex: Surgeons are all messed up. We're butchers, messed-up knife-happy butchers. We cut people up. We move on. Patients die on our watch. We move on. We cause trauma. We suffer trauma. We don't have time to worry about how all the blood, and death, and crap really makes us feel.

Owen: "This is how you went wine by watching two hours straight advanced coronary artery" he chuckles "Cristina?" looking over at Cristina he sees her asleep in her spot, making him turn to tv off and he settles in beside her, turning the lights off
                          
A little while later after staring at the slow blades of the fan and Owen's eyes closed, Cristina is suddenly flailing around as he chokes her. Knocking stuff over on her nightstand she tries to get his hands off of her which makes Callie come out of her room. 
                          
Callie: "Everything ok?" opening the door she sees Owen on top of Owen, making her eyes widen "Cristina! Owen!" snapping out of it, Owen lets her go and she quickly hurries into the bathroom, coughing and gasping as she covers her mouth with sobs
                          
Owen: "What...what...what..." he pants, looking around in confusion
-
Meredith: "It's 3:00 in the morning, Cristina" she groans when her phone rings and she picks it up with a sigh "This better be g-Callie? What?" she sits up in her bed, becoming more alert "He what?" 
-
Meredith: "Audrey, wake up." she whispers, shaking her shoulders
                          
Audrey: "What?" she grumbles, face pressed into her pillow
                          
Meredith: "It's Cristina."
                          
Audrey: "What happened?" she perks up

Meredith: "It's us. Cristina" she knocks on the bathroom door as Cristina gets up to let them in, moving over to the mirror "What's going on? Owen's out there upset. Callie was screaming."
                          
Cristina: "No changes in visual acuity. No petechiae. I'm fine" she nods "I'm-I'm fine." she turns to face them and they see the marks on her neck, making their eyes widen
                          
Audrey: "Oh, my God. Your neck! I will kill him." 
                          
Cristina: "No, no, no. It was a nightmare. He had a nightmare." she stops them from turning to walk out the door 
                          
Owen: "Cristina, please" he lightly knocks on the door "She all right, Meredith? I just need to know if she'ss alright." 
                          
Meredith: "No. No. No. No. Cristina. No." she tries to stop her from going to the door but Cristina brushes past her
                          
Owen: "I am so sorry. I don't know what happened. I'm...I don't know what happened. I'm sorry." he tears up
                          
Cristina: "Look at me." 
                          
Owen: "I'm sorry." 
                          
Cristina: "Look at me. I'm fine. See? It's ok. You were asleep. It's ok. Ok? It's ok. It's ok." she nods, pulling him into a hug as he continues to cry in her shoulder
                          
Owen: "I'm sorry."
                          
Cristina: "It's ok. I know. It's ok. You were asleep. It's ok. It's ok. It's ok." she assures as the three women give the pair a look

Audrey: "You're wearing a turtleneck under your scrubs" she comes up to the nurses desk where Cristina is standing "It's ugly. Not as ugly as the fact you hugged him" she shakes her head, turning to face her "You hugged him."
                          
Cristina: "I get it. Hear you. Let's move on." 
                          
Meredith: "Turtlenecks aren't ok" she comes up to the pair, giving Cristina a look "You're not ok, and your boyfriend's not ok."
