A/N: Here we go hope you like…again let me know what you think!

[Start!...jk…nope im not!]

Arizona sighs as she stuffs her bag into the locker in front of her. After the night she had, had at Joe's she was surprised to find that she was even able to get out of bed, but she still felt mildly hung over. Shutting the locker, eyes squeezing together at the sound piercing through her ears, she can't help, but let her mind wander back to the previous night. What she saw that brought on all the emotions she had been so quick to hide away deep inside herself.

They were too close; too friendly and all the time she had been worried about Callie falling back with Mark, when in reality she just had to worry about men in general. It was killing her, eating at her insides. Her eyes squeezed shut forcing the tears to stay at bay which only caused them to spring forward at the sight of honey brown eyes looking into hers. Deep within the pit of her stomach, she could feel the slow churning that made her feel like vomiting. Her muscles tightened to get rid of the unsettling feeling as she sat on the bench leaning back to rest against the cool metal of the lockers; she breathed relaxing her mind and body.

The sound of the door opening made her jump; quickly she tried to look busy leaning down to mess with her shoe strings she kept her eyes trained on the task at hand not meeting the eyes of the mystery person in the room. Soon there is a new pair of shoes only a few feet away just in the blondes line of vision the sound of someone clearing their throat soon follows. Instead of looking up Arizona continues to "fix" her shoe laces.

"You can stop pretending to tie your shoes; it's just me" comes the familiar voice of Teddy.

Arizona looks back up an embarrassed smile on her face at being caught. "That obvious?" she asks looking up at Teddy.

"Yes, but then again, I know the kind of night you had" Teddy looks at her with concern. "You okay?"

Her eyes look to the side at the wall for a moment before they look back up never meeting her eyes fully, but concentrating on her cheeks, which seemed to her to be close enough. "Yeah, of course." She tried at a laugh closing her mouth quickly to making a face as if tasting something bitter at the horrible sound that came out.

"Yea, your laugh just said it all. What happened?" Teddy asked as she sat down on the bench next to the smaller blonde giving her hand a reassuring squeeze. Teddy allowed the silence to fill the room as she sat quietly waiting for her friend to gather herself. After ten minutes, she decided that Arizona had plenty of time to contemplate what was truly disturbing her. "Arizona," her tone was firm, but soft "I can't help if you don't talk to me. Let me know what's going on it doesn't help to just hold it in."

A moment of silence again passed between them. Arizona squeezed her eyes shut before looking up and into the concerned eyes of her best friend. Her mouth opened, but nothing came out and she closed it not truly knowing how to explain it all. She shrugged a moment decided to just say whatever came to her mind. Looking straight forward she began to speak in a low voice.

"It just, last night seeing Jackson put his hand on my Calliope like that, it hurt. It just felt like a scalpel had been plunged into my heart and there was nothing I could do about it. Nothing, Teddy." Tears had started to swim in the blondes beautiful blue eyes "It just, it hurts to know that she could just move on that easily. That quickly and with…with a guy. All this time I thought I would have to worry about Mark, but it was just men in general? It feel like I spent all this time loving her and giving her my heart, but she was just able to give it away so easily. Just flaunt it all around Joe's like it didn't matter; like I didn't matter: we didn't matter." Her mouth was open to continue, but Teddy cut in before she could get the chance to continue.

"Arizona." At the sound of her name the blonde shut her mouth and looked to her friend with tears leaking out of her eyes and slowly beginning there decent leaving behind their trail along her cheeks. "Honey," The older blonde moved next to her friend wrapping an arm around her and pulling her to her, Arizona let her head lay in the crook of her friend's neck as she felt her friend's other arm soon wrapped around her waist holding her as silent tears fell from her eyes. Teddy spoke softly.

"I understand that you are hurting, but didn't you guys both agree this is what you wanted? That you guys were both going in different directions and I know it hurts to see the person that you love happy with someone else, but you've told me what Callie walked in on the other day with you and Debbie?"

"Yea, but…"

"No Arizona, no buts. You're my friend and I love you. Honestly, though, think about it. You moved on why is it so horrible that she has moved on too? And before you say anything" She held up her hand to halt Arizona, who quickly closed her mouth. "I get that she is with a man, but you knew going into the relationship that she was with both men and women. And I know you don't believe that Callie didn't love you; she would have never wanted to start a life; a family with you if she didn't."

A sob escaped the blondes lips as the truth of her friend's statement washed over her. "I know Teddy. I know" the words came out in a low whisper as she buried her face further into her friend's strong shoulder. As the blonde squeezed her eyes shut a louder sob escaped her lips as once again she saw those honey brown eyes staring back at her.

"I…I…" she tried to voice what was putting a weight on her, but she could not bring her self to do it.

"It's okay honey," Teddy rubbed small circles up and down her back. "You'll be fine; you don't have to tell me I know you're hurting."

A loud sob escaped the blonde's lips at hearing her friend's words; taking a few deep breaths to calm herself she rubbed her face. She knew she didn't have a right to cry like she was and if she didn't calm down soon she would never be able to get it off her chest. With a shaky breath escaping her lips she began.

"Last night, Teds, after you left. I…I…couldn't take it. So I kept drinking. I drank so…much, and I….I slept with someone!" her eyes were downcast at the admission.

"Oh" was all that escaped the older woman's lips before the sound of someone could be heard from the outside of the door. Both women became quiet recognizing the laugh as none other than Callie Torres'. Arizona felt her chest constrict at the knowing that she was not the one causing the beautiful woman to laugh; she lost that opportunity and right. A few stray tears escaped her eyes before she quickly whipped them away and stood. Teddy following soot and stood next to her friend.

The door to the locker room opened slightly and only a tanned arm could be seen on the handle as the Latina continued to face whoever was making her laugh so much. "Jackson thanks again for last night."

Arizona's hands clenched into fists at her side at hearing about their time together at night, she could feel her blood boil and the sting of tears at the back of her eyes once again before she rapidly blinked her eyes to keep them at bay.

"Oh you mean saving you from that nurse? Or half carrying you to your apartment cause you were so wasted last night?" he laughed teasingly at the Latina in front of him.

Callie let another laugh rip through her at the truth of his statement a small blush appearing on her cheeks that she was lucky her complexion hid quite well. "Yea, about the nurse thanks so much from saving me from that." She gave him a grateful smile.

"It was fine Callie I'm sure you would have pretended you were my girl if the roles were reversed" he smiled charmingly and added "plus it was totally my pleasure to be your man for all of ten seconds." He added a wink for emphasis before they both erupted into laughter. His eyes caught the clock on the wall and his eyes widened slightly realizing that he would be late to rounds with Bailey.

Upon seeing the look that crossed the younger mans features Callie furrowed her brow "Hey is everything okay?"

Seeming to snap back to reality he looked at the Latina and smiled "Yea fine but Bailey's going to kill me for being late to rounds so I got run."

The Latina just laughed and nodded her understanding as the man took off down hall turning around to give her a slight wave. She smiled and shook her head before turning back to the door to get changed into her scrubs.

Arizona's eyes widened in panic realizing that the woman would be coming into the room soon. She turned to her friend her eyes still wide trying to get answers before she could even registered her movement she was tugging her friends arm as she bolted to the showers for a quick hide out.

Teddy looked at her friend perplexity written all over her features at the woman's actions before Arizona put one finger over her own lips to keep her silent. Teddy just nodded her understanding as they both waited for the sound of the Latina leaving the locker room to come out.

They both walked out cautiously until they knew they were alone. "What was that all about?" Teddy looked at the small woman wanting answers.

"I don't know, I just…I didn't want her to know that we heard her whole conversation." She shrugged slightly looking to the side.

"You're lying! You always look to the side when you're lying!" Teddy pointed at her friend accusingly.

Arizona sighed as her shoulders dropped slightly. "You know me too well" she gave the woman a small smile.

"Maybe just a little" Teddy let a smile of her own cross her features, "now explain."

She sat down in defeat knowing that there was no way of her getting out of this she looked to her friend for comfort only seeing concern she began to explain. "It's just, I… the reason that I…did what I did. I was just so angry Teddy and I…but then we heard. I couldn't face her…I…I just knew…I know if I did I wouldn't have been able to hold on." tears slowly made their way down the woman's beautiful features as she looked away slightly ashamed.

She didn't respond she simply wrapped her friend into a tight embrace until the sobs slowly subsided.

"Thank you" she looked at her friend a soft smile gracing her features.

"It's no problem I'm here for you, now let's get to work." Teddy linked her arm through the smaller blonde's as she led them out the door and into the hallway.

[Bleep]

The blonde had successfully avoided Callie all day and up until a few seconds ago she was sure she would make it the day with getting away with it.

"Doctor Robbins?" the nurse called the blonde breaking her out of her thoughts.

"hmm?" she turned looking at the slender woman "Oh right sorry…got lost a moment" she smiled sheepishly.

"Riiight" the nurse nodded slowly, "Well like I said Doctor Torres has been looking for you it seemed rather urgent; she just headed into her patient's room." She nodded in the direction of Molly's room before she turned back to look at the computer screen in front of her.

Arizona took a deep breath giving her self a slight nod she walked to the door that would lead her into Molly's room. Okay. You can do this; plus I have a patient witness Calliope is not going to do something crazy in front of a patient. Calliope I'm so sorry. I hope I wont do anything crazy. God, just thinking about being in there; it hurts. Okay no you're a Robbins lets put on a brave face and do this. I can do this. I CAN!

She reached for the handle feeling the cool metal in her palm, but soon felt it being twisted and thrown open landing her firmly on her back with pain radiating from her face. "ouch" she managed to get out before a slight cloudiness took over her mind.

End Note: So I really wanted to get into Arizona's mind and I'm not the best at that; I am more a Callie person. But! I love them both so tell me what you think!...

Which brings me to a question…I may *cough cough*… or may not play favorites with the girls…do you? If so which is your fav? Why? Im so curious! :P
