Arizona's POV
It seems like since the place crash my life has been on a downward spiral, nothing seems to go right for me. If it is bad it happens to me. I lost my leg, my marriage, my family, my daughter, my whole world and at some point, my will to even exist it seems. It feels like it all happened right before my eyes and there was nothing I could do about it. Now Callie is gone to New York and she is happy with Penny and I felt so badly about how things went in court the only thing I had left my daughter and I willingly gave her to Callie so she could be happy. Now I'm here and I don't know what to do with myself.
Sure, I've been on date had a little fun but nothing compares to that all-encompassing feeling of coming home really coming home to the love of your life. I'm afraid maybe I will never feel that feeling again. I feel pathetic at times I mean I'm Arizona Robbins triple board certified pediatric surgeon and certified maternal fetal medicine. I'm a rock star, I'm the good man in the storm. I just need to feel like it again. Today I am tired of coming home to an empty house and an empty bed so tonight I'll change my routine and go out and have a couple of drinks at Joe's something I have not done in a long time. However tonight this one decision will change my life forever.
So, I go to Joe's it is pretty full for a Thursday night. Then again it has been a long time since I've ventured out. I sit at the bar and order my first drink. Tonight, I just want to relax and really hope not to be hit on or bothered. I just want to unwind and have a couple of drinks. I don't have to be in tomorrow until 10:00am for a couple of consults then I have taken a few days off. After I finish off my second drink I notice this beautiful green eyed brunette with dark skin looking right at me. She so beautiful I swear she took my breath away. We do this staring game for a while but she never comes over and I'm done with my second drink I really should go. I pay my tab and head out the door.
The wind feels good on my face. I'm glad that tonight the GOD's decided not to let it rain and little walk will do me some good since it's so packed tonight I had to park a little further than I wanted to. As I am walking toward where I parked my car I begin to get an eerie feeling suddenly. I pick up the pace of my walking suddenly I feel the hairs on the back of my neck freeze in place and I know someone is behind me. I am too afraid to turn around and just as I begin to turn and strong hand covers my mouth and dares me to move. I swear you could hear my heart beating if you stood next to me. I have never been more afraid than I am right now. The husky voice tells me if I listen that he won't hurt me.
He tells me that he is going to take his hand from my mouth but if I scream he will kill me. My mind is racing I don't know what to do. Suddenly he removes his hands to replace them with a knife to my throat. I can feel the pain as he taunts me with it. The next thing I know he pushes me behind the ally and then I know what is going to happen. The worst thing I could ever imagine happening to me I am going to be raped by a man. He has a mask on and throws me to the ground rips my clothes and the rest I can't recall but the pain that rips through me repeatedly. When he is done the knife, he had at my throat he uses the stab me.
I can feel myself losing a lot of blood from the stab wounds and I'm in and out of consciousness. I know it is only a matter of time before I black out and if I do I'll be dead the likelihood of someone finding me in time back here is slim. I force myself up after I'm sure he is gone and slowly make it to the parking lot where maybe someone will find me. My pulse is getting slower and the pain is unbearable. I am praying that someone please find me. I don't want my life to end this way. I don't want my daughter to know that this is how her mother died. God please send someone to help me. Just as I can no longer make one move my vison is failing me but I swear I see the angel from inside bar running my way. I try to cry out please help me but I have no more strength left in me the darkness has taken over. All I remember is intense green eyes staring at me was the last thing I saw.
