A/N: Okay so this is me starting a new fic. It's totally AU and all the characters will be younger and not doctors. I'm sick and I couldn't sleep from all the coughing and suddenly this popped up in my head. "Unexpected Love" is on a real hiatus at the moment, the writer's block is the size of a country. As for "Destination"…we'll see about that last chapter.
The lyrics I used for this were from the song "Stay" with "Hurts", I didn't really use them in a special order or whatever.

Arizona turned the sign saying "Open" at the bookstore, the same bookstore she's been working fulltime at since she graduated High School. Four years later here she was, still working from 10am to 5pm, every day except Saturdays when she worked to 2pm and Sunday when she had a day off. She hadn't moved from New Bern, NC in all these years. Most of her friends had gone to college to make something of them. Arizona didn't really have the choice; it was either to be a marine like the rest of the family or to work at the bookstore.

Her great grandmother had started the bookstore 40 years ago and in 15 years when her mom retires it will be her turn. What she really wanted to was to be an elementary school teacher, to work with tiny humans. Not waiting every Monday for sleezeball Mr. Jennings to come in and undress her with his stare. The authority issues have been the problem, if she only could once; just once stand up for herself without crying it would be great to get out of this hellhole. Sure it's a beautiful town, but this wasn't her dream.

She started to unpack some new books in the back when she heard the door opening and the bell rang.

"Just a minute" She yelled thinking that it must be Mr. Jennings again and cursed herself for having the teeny shorts this morning. But it was summertime and really hot outside.

She didn't hear the usual 'No problem sweet cheeks' knowing that with cheeks he meant butt cheeks and hoped that it was maybe someone else. When she got back in to the store she froze. She literally couldn't move when she saw the woman she fell in love with in high school.

"Calliope" She said almost whispering it to herself. Arizona almost thought that she was daydreaming.

Then Callie looked up from a book.

"Arizona" She gave her a small smile. Callie knew that Arizona's mom owned the bookstore, but she didn't think that Arizona would be here. They hadn't talked since the day after their high school graduation. "How are you? You still work here? You haven't changed a bit since I last saw you" She said coming closer, and before Arizona knew it Callie wrapped her in a hug.

God it felt good, she had missed the latina and seeing her after all these years made her feel so much, mostly embarrassment.

FLASHBACK THE DAY AFTER THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION

"You have to tell her Arizona, it's either today or maybe you'll regret it for the rest of your life, who knows when she'll come back" Teddy said concerned. She knew that Arizona had a crush on Callie Torres ever since Callie moved here from Florida. However she never said how she felt to her and now was the time.

"I don't know Teddy, she's leaving today and now it's not the time, like really I need to work soon" She said turning around moving to sit on her porch.

"We both know that your mom gave you the day off. Look I'm not someone that should preach about saying that you love someone, but remember last year? Owen graduated and I didn't tell him and he joined the army. I wake up every morning regretting that I didn't say it to him, to let him know that I was in love with him even if he wasn't in love with me. Now he could die without knowing how I feel" Teddy said with sadness in her eyes, she looked away from Arizona feeling that the tears were going to come soon.

"Okay" Arizona whispered

"Okay what?" Teddy looked up at her.
"Okay I'll tell her, but if she rejects me then...then you'll be the one having blood on your hands" She said quickly.

Teddy laid her hand on Arizona's.

"Arizona you're not going to die" She said trying to comfort Arizona.

"I think I will if she rejects me. I mean not literally, I'm not that desperate. Look I've had this pink bubble for years and I've been thinking of a million ways of how I could say it to her. And I've seen it and it has always ended with a kiss, but in reality I really don't think that is how it's going to go" Arizona stared intently in Teddy's eyes.

"Why wouldn't she kiss you? I mean she did have that…whatever it was with Erica Hahn before Hahn's parents shipped her off to boarding school. So you know she likes girls, and you're hot Arizona, hotter than Hahn so don't worry" Teddy said reassuringly.

"Yeah you're right, I am hot, hotter than most girls" She said and Teddy started to laugh at Arizona being so humble.

"Yeah well use your self-confidence when you tell Callie about your feelings. You're already friends; you hang out all of the time. There's nothing to be afraid of really" Teddy said convincing herself more than Arizona that everything would turn out okay.

"Except for rejection" Arizona said shaking her head smiling "Yeah well I'm going to talk to her, I just need to wait for Del to bring back the car" She said trying to postpone her "meeting" with Callie.

"You can have my car" Teddy said enthusiastically.

"Wow Teddy you seem more excited about this then I am" Arizona said before taking Teddy's car keys.

"I almost think I am" Teddy whispered to herself as Arizona walked away

Arizona had to try to start the engine 3 times before the car started.

"Break a leg" Arizona heard Teddy yell after her.

The car ride would only be about ten minutes. Callie lived in a nice mansion outside the town; her parents were fairly rich with her dad being a CEO of a company she really didn't know much about.

The car jerked a few times and Arizona felt more and more nervous, but before she knew it she pulled up to the house. She sat in the car for a few minutes before stepping out of the car looking at the huge white house.

"Okay calm down, everything is going to be just fine. Or not. I'm hot no doubt about it, but I'm poor compared to her" She mumbled to herself and then she looked at Teddy's rusty old Acura that used to be white once in its life "And my ride is really not helping" With that she went up to the porch and knocked on the door.

Mrs Torres opened the door.

"Hello Arizona, how are you?" She asked nicely. Maria Torres never really liked Arizona, she knew that Arizona was gay and once she even said that Arizona would go to hell. She said it in Spanish of course, but Arizona knew how to use Google translate. At least she didn't hate Arizona as much as she hated Erica, since Erica was the one that "turned" Callie gay. Callie's family hadn't taken it well and they almost threw her out of the house, but her dad changed his mind after Arizona's father had talked to him.

"Hi Mrs Torres, I'm good and you?" She asked with her usual perky voice

"I'm just fine" Maria answered plainly

"So…is Callie home?" Arizona never said Calliope in front of Callie's mother that would just piss her off since Callie doesn't let Maria say Calliope.

"Yes, she just finished packing; she should be down any minute. She is going to our house in France for a few weeks. Maybe she'll meet a nice Frenchman" Maria said being overly optimistic.

Arizona gave a nervous laugh

"Yeah maybe" She smiled, trying to make the smile look real, when what she really wanted to do was to puke. The thought of Callie with some hot Frenchman made her feel sick.

Then she saw Callie coming down the stairs

"Hi Arizona!" Callie said giving Arizona her best megawatt smile.

"Callie" Arizona smiled trying not to stare, or drool for that matter.

Callie turned to her mother.

"Where is dad? He was supposed to give me a lift to the bus station, my bus leaves in just 40 minutes" She said

"Callie I still can't believe you're taking the bus, it's so…ugh I don't have a word for it even" She said and Arizona could see Callie roll her eyes.

"Yeah mom well first of all it's only to the airport and second of all the buses are just fine. They're pretty clean" Callie said

"Pretty clean? I just don't want you to get AIDS on the bus" She said shrugging

Callie frowned at her mom; she couldn't believe she just said that

"Okay mom, FYI you don't get AIDS by just sitting on a bus" She said and before the conversation could go further Arizona interrupted them.

"I can drive you" She said and then she saw Maria looking over her shoulder

"In that?" She said wide-eyed
"Mom" Callie warned glaring at her mother before turning to Arizona "Thanks that would be awesome" Arizona loved when Callie said awesome; she'd gotten that from her. Callie quickly took her bags and gave her mom a quick kiss on the cheek "Bye mom"

When they sat in the car it took Arizona 3 times again to just get the engine started.

"Crap, stupid car it always takes 3 tries to start it, I'm sorry Callie" She smiled apologetically

"What? No don't be sorry, it's not your fault Teddy's car works in these mysterious ways" She laughed and Arizona relaxed a bit.

Arizona turned on the radio and felt sick when she heard the songs lyrics

My whole life,
Waiting for the right time,
To tell you how I feel.
And though I tried to,
Tell you that I need you,
Here I am without you.
I feel so lost, but what can I do?
Because I know this love seems real,
But I don't know how to feel.

'Shit' she thought to herself, of all the songs in the world this was the one that had to come on.

As she wanted to change the name of the song Callie pushed her hand away. When their hands touched Arizona could feel the electricity.

"Don't…I love this song" Callie said so Arizona let it be on. "So how come you came by the house? We said goodbye yesterday" Callie asked.

"Oh no nothing special really, I wanted to talk to you before you left" She said nervously

"Okay about what?" Callie asked her, she felt that the blonde was nervous but didn't want to say anything because it would make her even more nervous.

"You know, let's talk at the bus station. I always get distracted while talking and driving at the same time and I don't want to kill a baby that's crawling on the street looking for its pacifier." She said not taking her eyes of the road.

Callie looked at her intently feeling that something was up

"Okay, I really don't think babies are crawling on the street looking for their pacifiers" She laughed at the sentence "But we can talk at the bus station" She smiled.

The rest of the car ride was quiet, Arizona was glad that there weren't any more love songs on the radio. However the rain had started to pour and Arizona had trouble seeing the road. She was thankful though since she could use that as one more reason to ignore Callie at the moment.

When they arrived at the bus station they pulled out Callie's bags from the car and they saw that the bus had arrived. Neither had an umbrella so they stood in the pouring rain and Arizona couldn't really take her eyes of Callie. Her hair was wet and she had raindrops rolling down her cheeks. All Arizona wanted to do was to kiss the latina. Callie looked at her watch.

"The bus leaves in 10…so what did you want to talk about?" Callie asked curiously

And before you,
I had nowhere to run to
And nothing to hold on to.
I came so close to giving it up.
And I wonder if you know
How it feels to let you go?

'Okay here goes nothing' Arizona thought to herself. As a child she had been taught that if you pull off the band aid fast it wouldn't hurt. Same thing goes with vaxing your legs. So what she needed was to do this fast.

"Okay…uhm I really don't know how to say this so I'm just going to say it Calliope" She said nervously.

"I have to admit that you're starting to scare me Arizona, just tell me what it is" Callie was starting to get worried.

"Okay, okay" Arizona whispered as she was trying to calm down herself "I love you Callie" She suddenly blurted out and Callie's eyes almost popped out. She was starting to open her mouth to say something but Arizona raised her hand to stop her. "I need you to listen to me because I have to say this really quickly without interruptions or I won't be able to say it. I love you Callie, I've had a crush on you since I saw you the first time. And now you're my friend and I love you and not only like a friend. More in the way of that I want to do things with you that are totally inappropriate for friends" Arizona said and Callie still had a shocked looked on her face. She really didn't have a clue; Arizona had never tried to make a pass at her. "I know you have to go and all that but please stay. I look like a crazy person right now standing in the rain telling you all this. But please don't leave…don't get yourself a hot Frenchman and marry him in his big mansion, because I don't have a big mansion" Arizona had started to ramble and Callie found the blonde cute standing in the rain rambling, however the things she said were too much too handle.

"Arizona" Callie said quietly and Arizona knew that Callie didn't say her name in a good way. She said it in a rejection way.

"No please don't, don't say anything okay" Arizona said feeling the tears starting to come to her eyes. The rain was pouring in her face and the tears weren't as visible, but Callie could see them and it hurt her that the blonde was sad.

"Arizona, look at me" Callie said lifting Arizona's chin calmly and the blonde followed the order. "I love you too" Callie said smiling and it gave Arizona some sort of hope "You're one of my best friends Arizona" Callie said and Arizona lost control of herself and kissed Callie. As quickly as she put her lips on Callie's she also pulled away as quickly.

"I'm IN love with you Callie" She enunciated 'in'. "Please stay okay don't go please just stay" She said begging which she never ever does.

"I'm sorry Arizona" Callie said feeling that she was close to tears herself, but she didn't know what to do. "My bus is leaving" She said before throwing in her bags in the bus. She turned to say goodbye to Arizona and gave her a hug, she pulled away slightly and whispered

"Goodbye Arizona" in Arizona's ear before going on the bus.

We say goodbye in the pouring rain,
And I break down as you walk away. (Stay) (Stay)
'Cause all my life I've felt this way,
But I could never find the words to say. (Stay) (Stay)
Stay, stay.

Callie found her seat on the bus and when she looked down she saw Arizona standing with her face buried in her hands. It hurt Callie seeing Arizona like this, it's not the latina didn't feel something towards Arizona because she did. She was just too afraid to admit it, she had got her heart broken too many times.

The bus started to roll away and Arizona looked up trying to see Callie. She locked her eyes with Callie's and Callie gave her a small smile before turning her head away from her.

Arizona stood in the rain and touched her own lips still feeling them tingle since she kissed Callie.

Stay with me, stay with me,
Stay with me, stay with me,
Stay, stay, stay, stay with me.


END OF FLASHBACK

What Arizona didn't know back then was that it would take 4 years before she would see Callie again.

A/N 2: So Yay or Nay? Should I continue it or is it crappy?
