A/N: I am not untagging Callie, so stop asking. She has her place in this story as does Meredith…If nobody is catching that hint then I can't help you. Also, I have gotten a new job so I will be updating once or twice a week depending on my days off and how busy I am with work!

It had been a whole week since Arizona's interaction with Meredith and a whole week since her date with Jamie, they had set another date for two days ago but Jamie ended up getting called into work since the EMTs were short-handed, looking up Arizona saw Meredith walking up to her gulping out of fear she looked back down at her charts.

"Arizona?" Meredith stood in front of her, hands in her lab coat.

"Yes."

"We need to talk."

In an on-call room Meredith and Arizona stood staring at one another nothing had been said yet, but the air was thick with the unspoken words hanging.

"You don't know me, and you have no right to psychoanalyze me!"

"I don't know you! We might never have been friends but I know you Meredith Grey! But I also know that you hurt my friend, yes she is fucked up and yes her anger about Derek dying and about Penny was misplaced a lot but the fact that she is your family and you turned your back on her is just wrong!"

"Don't talk to me about turning my back on my family." Silence filled up the room.

"Don't you dare."

"What still can't handle what you did to Callie?"

"No, I can handle it because I know what I did and I have accepted it and so has Callie! Again Meredith, it is blame everyone and bring up everyone's problems but god-forbid you bring up yours! Yes, I fucked up my life but I am just fine now I have moved forward! I have worked on my issues and Amelia is working on hers! It seems like everyone in this hospital is working on their problems but you! So who are you really mad at Meredith? Because it isn't Amelia, it isn't Riggs or Blake and it sure as hell isn't me so who is it that Meredith Grey is really mad at?" Stepping up to Meredith Arizona stood tall and looked into Meredith's eyes, once finished a small tear dripped from Meredith's one eye then followed by more.

"Derek." Meredith whispered out as she started to sob, before Arizona knew what was happening Meredith was in her arms sobbing.

"I know it hurts, and I know you're angry but you need to let yourself go through the process of grieving. It sucks, trust me it sucks a lot but this is something you need to do and I know you can because you are strong, one of the strongest people I know." An hour then passed but now the two women were lying on the on call room bed talking.

"Sorry I made you stand for so long."

"It's okay, you needed someone you could be mad at and I'd rather it be me than Amelia."

"What's going on between you two?" Meredith asked as she turned her head to look at Arizona.

"What were just friends. I am dating somebody and so is she."

"Just because you two are dating people doesn't mean something isn't going on." Looking away Arizona looked up at the top of the bunk bed.

"That is true, but again were just friends." Sensing Arizona wasn't going to open up about it Meredith nodded then sat up to leave.

"Well, if something ever did happen that was more than friends between you two I don't think it would be that bad." Looking over at Meredith with a questioning look Arizona found her heart racing at the thought of Amelia. "Have a good day, I am going to now assume since we have been in this on call room for almost two hours people are gonna talk." Before Arizona could speak Meredith was out the door leaving Arizona to sit up in the bed and to start reevaluating herself.

In the cafeteria Alex and Jo sat down next to Arizona and Callie, both having smug looks on their faces.

"So, heard you and Meredith were getting cozy in an on call room."

"We were just talking!"

"Is that what you kids call it nowadays?" Laughing Alex, Jo and Callie looked at Arizona who just went about eating her food.

"Hey, guys!" Meredith sat down next to Arizona causing people to stare.

"So you were right the rumor mill is in full force!"

"Sorry, it had to be me they all think you're messing around with, I'm sure you would prefer it to be somebody else." With a wink from Meredith Arizona froze.

"Somebody else, like who?" Alex asked as he listened in.

"I think I know." Jo smiled at Arizona who looked at her with surprise.

"What?"

"Come on, I've seen the way you and Shepherd look at each other, there is definitely some hot stuff going on there!" Nodding in agreement with his girlfriend Alex looked at Arizona as did everyone else.

"We're just friends!" Arizona yelled stopping and noticing now everyone in the cafeteria was staring she stood up and walked out of the cafeteria leaving silence in her wake.

"What's up with, Arizona?" Amelia asked as she came up to the table letting her eyes follow Arizona.

"Don't know maybe you should go find out." Meredith replied, causing Amelia to look at her in shock.

"You're talking to me?"

"It's a long story; let's just say I talked to somebody who put me back in check." Giving a confused look, Amelia turned and walked away to find out what was going on with Arizona.

"Hey." Amelia said gently as she walked up next to Arizona on the roof of the hospital.

"Hey." Looking down Arizona felt afraid Amelia was going to pry her secret out of her.

"What was that about in the cafeteria?" With a chuckle Amelia turned towards Arizona, and then let the smile fall upon seeing how sad the other woman was.

"Just the rumors going around, I was helping Meredith and all people can think is that I was having sex with her which isn't true! It shouldn't bug me but it does." Not completely telling the truth Arizona mentally groaned.

"Yeah, especially with you getting yourself back on track all people see is the old you I know that feeling." More silence as the two decided to just stand on the roof and look at the Seattle skyline.

Hours later Arizona smiled at the text on her phone, she was going to go on a date with Jamie just a casual date since Jamie had to be to work early in the morning but still Arizona was excited. Upon exiting the hospital in her casual wear she spotted Jamie who smiled at her, the two walked hand in hand to Joe's. Arizona was nervous since she knew that all of her friends would be at the bar, as the two walked in sure enough everyone was sitting at a table talking until they saw Arizona walk in with Jamie. Sighing she lead Jamie over to the table and introduced her to everyone, as they stood talking to everybody Amelia walked in with the woman she had been dating.

"Hey, guys! This is Vanessa, Vanessa this is well everybody!" Amelia introduced enthusiastically. "Oh, and this is my roommate, colleague and best friend Arizona!" Wrapping an arm around Arizona she introduced the two; Vanessa smiled and shook Arizona's hand.

"It's great to finally meet you!" Arizona replied with a smile.

"You as well, Amy is always talking about you." The slight anger in the two didn't go unnoticed by anyone except Amelia who was talking to Jamie who picked up on the awkwardness.

Finally Arizona and Jamie left to get a booth so they could eat; sitting across from each other Jamie looked over and noticed Amelia was looking at them well looking at Arizona which unsettled Jamie a lot.

"So, Amelia and you are friends, colleagues and roommates?" Taking a bite of her fry Jamie looked into Arizona's eyes waiting to read the response.

"Yeah, that pretty much sums it up!" Picking up on the overly perky response Jamie nods.

"You two have never been more than friends?"

"What, no why?"

"Because she keeps looking over here at you with what looks like jealousy."

"Well, then it is completely one sided. We couldn't be together anyways we are far too similar and far too different!" Going back to eating her food Arizona begun to feel like she was being questioned for a murder.

"Usually that is what makes two people perfect for each other."

"Usually but we are too different on important things, like I want to settle down some day and she doesn't!"

"Really, I find that hard to believe with the way she is looking over here right now?"

"Are we going to keep talking about Amelia and I or are we going to be on a date?"

"I don't know are we, because it sounds like Amelia is always talking about you and you don't seem to be here."

"How can I be when you keep bringing it up?"

"Touché." Jamie nodded as she set her burger down; wiping her hands on the towel she looked at Arizona before pushing her plate to the side. "I like you a lot so far, but I don't want to keep dating somebody and ending up falling for someone when their heart is somewhere else. I've had that happen one to man times. I would rather know now so I can just see a friend instead of a potential girlfriend."

Looking down Arizona felt guilty she really liked Jamie, but she was falling for her best friend and she couldn't lead Jamie on. She wasn't going to be that type of person again, sighing before looking up at Jamie she nodded and smiled weakly.

"I really like you, and I hate that I can't like you more than I already do. It wouldn't be fair to you if we keep going with dating, I was hoping by dating someone it would help make the feelings go away but it doesn't. I didn't want to hurt you; we don't even have to be friends I understand."

"Arizona, I would love to be your friend and yes it hurts but this was only the second date! This is better than months from now, having had sex and made future plans! I can totally be your friend! And as your friend, I will tell you if you feel that strongly for someone then you shouldn't waste time, you should go and tell her." Moving her plate back in front of her Jamie picked up her burger and begun to eat.

"It is complicated; I doubt she feels the same way."

"Really, well looking over here and ignoring her date every ten minutes tells me she does the feel same."

"Well, with Amelia you never know." Finishing her fries Arizona glanced over quickly at Amelia and felt her heart race before looking back down at her food.

"Love is only as complicated as we make it." Sitting in silence Arizona begun to think back and started to wonder if maybe that is why her past relationships didn't work, because she made them too damn complicated.
