Chapter 25

Callie's POV:

It was the longest wait of my entire life. Those 5 minutes had drug on for eternity. I wouldn't know who was in the bus until it arrived. I don't want to know, but I have to know. And now the ambulance is pulling up right in front of me.

The door of the back busts open and Teddy comes flying out, fear etched on her face, clutching Arizona's riding vest in her hand. …I don't believe it, it can't be her. Its not her. And if the women's riding vest and the personal trainer wasn't enough evidence, I can see the bright pink covering the patient's pants. …Arizona's chaps. It's her. Why, God? Why is it her?

The EMT from the front rounds the bus and helps take the stretcher out, all the while shouting the patient's stats. "29 year old. Female. Caucasian. Trampled by a frickin bull. Apparent head injury. Right pupil blown. Unconscious on scene. Severe blunt force trauma to chest and abdomen. Internal injuries unknown. Pulse-Ox steady." They push her through the sliding doors.

"Trauma 1" I shout. "Page Grey, Little Grey, and Kepner." I say to the nurse at the desk as we pass.

In the trauma room, chaos breaks loose. "On 3. …2,3!" As we lift her to the trauma bed. Teddy moves up by Arizona's head and says "Arizona, can you hear me? Arizona you have to wake up now. Open those blue eyes for me." I run into her multiple times as I'm trying to go about my job.

"Teddy, if you want to stay in here, up against that wall and stay silent." I say, pointing to the wall furthest from all the activity.

"She…s-she was… on her head…I think." Teddy says, trying to hold in her tears as she leans against the wall for support.

I grab a pair of scissor and start cutting away Arizona's shirts. As I remove the last layer of clothes, the amount of bruising that has already broken out is sickening …oh, baby...what happened to you?

The door crashes open as April Kepner comes into the room, followed closely by Meredith Grey. They take in the body lying limp on the table. Taking point, I start giving orders "Grey, check brain and spinal injury. She's got a blown right pupil. Been unconscious for about ten minutes." Meredith nods, and moves to Arizona's head.

"Kepner, start taking x-rays."

"Of what?"

I look up and down Arizona's body and remember what she looked like being thrashed around on top of Code Blue. "Everything…" I whisper. Snapping back into professional mode "All of her, full body." Kepner nods and commences with her task.

Another crash of the door as another body enters the room, this time it's not a doctor. "What's wrong with her?" He asks, coming to stand behind me, looking over my shoulder to stare down at a very pale Arizona.

"Mark, I need you to stay back and let me do my job." I say, trying to keep in the tears.

"Tell me what's wrong with her, why won't she wake up?" He's in parent mode, and his kid is hurt.

"Possible brain injury…" This time a tear escapes my eye.

"Possible? What do you mean possible? Don't you-"

He's cut off as another body comes storming through the door. Her eyes locking on Marks, then turning to look at me. "You paged?"

"Little Grey, check for signs of internal bleeding."

Seconds seem like hours, minutes seem like years. And still, Arizona remains out of it. Then, finally, she starts to stir. I lean over her, willing her to open her eyes …show me those baby blues Arizona. Please, I need you to do this for me. I gasp as her eyes lock onto mine.

"Arizona… Do you know where you are?..."

….Do you know how sorry I am? How truly, truly sorry I am?

Arizona's POV:

I hear voices, they are muffled and indistinct, but I can hear them.

"What do you….."

"…ssible brain inj…"

"….internal bleeding"

I want to open my eyes, but my mind is fighting me like crazy. Finally, I see a sliver of light. Slowly I am able to take in more and more light. My eyes are blurry, they can't focus on anything. They just see bright light. I hear a gasp somewhere close to my head.

"Arizona….Do you know where you are?..." …who is that?

My eyes begin to focus. But they must be playing tricks on me because the only thing I see are those brown eyes that I have fallen in love with.

"Arizona…" My ears tune back in…that voice, that voice belongs with those eyes.

I look around, taking in my surroundings. There is silver equipment, boxes of latex gloves, I look towards the door and see Mark and Teddy staring at me, a mixture of fear and relief on their faces. "H-hospital…" I gasp out. My chest feels like it's in a vice grip making it difficult to breathe. My head pounding with every beat of my heart.

"Good, that's right. You're at the hospital. Don't worry, I'll…I mean we are going to take good care of you. Just relax." Callie says. I give a weak nod.

"Arizona, can you tell me where it hurts?"

"C-chest and my head." I say, flinching at the noise around me….and my heart.

"Ok, I'm going to do a quick physical. I'm just going to run my….I'm going to check for any broken bones ok? You'll feel slight pressure, but tell me if anything hurts." I nod.

I feel those hands run up and down my body. I can't keep the images out of my head of the last time her hands roamed my body. Up and down each leg, and nothing. Up and down my right arm, nothing. She reaches my left shoulder and I flinch in pain, though no one is surprised at this.

When she starts tracing over my ribs, applying a gentle, even, pressure, I damn near hit the ceiling. "Mother Fu….yeah, that hurts."

Her hands retract and she turns to the other doctors in the room.

The short red head starts first "X-rays are developing right now, should be…10 minutes? But preliminary exam shows possible multiple rib fractures and injury to the left shoulder."

The older, serious one continues "Looks like a pretty serious concussion, but I'd like a CT scan to make sure." Callie nods.

The shorter, younger one finishes "No signs of internal injuries, but a MRI should be ordered just to be thorough." Callie then takes my chart and writes in it "Good," She says then turns to the red head "Kepner, call up and book an MRI and CT. Bump her to the front of the line, got it?" …she wants to get rid of me as soon as possible. The woman just nods, turns and leaves.

Callie then turns and addresses me "Dr. Grey and Grey here will take you for your tests. And I'll see you afterwards." I can tell she is waiting for some type of confirmation from me, but I don't know what to say. …thanks? Thanks for breaking my heart. …ok? Ok, you flaunt your rich upbringing and look down on me for having a tough life. …Yep? Yep, you used me for sex and got upset that I wanted more? Anything I say would be too little, and too much, at the same time. So I just nod, and watch her leave the room.

…It's really over, isn't it. We're finished.
