It was 7.30pm and it seemed everyone was in need of a beer or two as the whole of the hospital were at Joes, even Arizona.
Everyone was having a good time considering the events that had happened in the last weeks and moral seemed to be high. Arizona seemed to be a little bit tipsy but she didn't seem to want to mingle with the others and instead spent most of the evening with some random brunette at the bar.
"Callie please try talking to her again. She needs to go see Levi! She's acting like she doesn't exist and it's really Starting to piss me off!" Meredith said with anger.
"Meredith trust me, I've tried. This is clearly just her way of coping so just leave her be. She'll come around eventually."
"Yeh because flirting with other woman when the person she supposedly loves is in a coma seems like a great way of coping" snapped Meredith while downing another shot of tequila. "Oi! Arizona" she shouted across the bar. Arizona turned her head to look at Meredith then looked away and carried on talking to the brunette. Sarah noticed Meredith was getting frustrated and decided to intervene.
"Meredith, just let her be. She's not worth it."
As soon as Arizona noticed Sarah talking to Meredith, she walked towards them.
"Why is it that your always up in everyone else's issues?" Slurred Arizona.
"What? Who? Me?" Asked Sarah not knowing what the hell Arizona was talking about.
"Yes you. You act like you're this angel nurse who can't do anything wrong but I see right through you!"
"Arizona, come on let's not do this here" Meredith pleaded trying to walk Arizona away.
"No! I want everyone to know that she's the reason Levi got shot!" Arizona started to raise her voice.
"That's stupid I wasn't even there!" Sarah shouted back.
"Oh, I know. But Levi would have been with me that morning if it wasn't for you filling her head and telling her me and Callie are somehow back together!" Spat Arizona not backing down.
"I didn't say any of that!"
"Liar!" Arizona was swaying. She'd had a lot to drink.
"I didn't! All I told Levi is that the night you got back from New York I saw you and Callie at the hospital. That's all!" Sarah tried to explain.
"And you tried to make out it was something it wasn't, for your own personal gain, you just can't deal with the fact Levi didn't want you!"
"That's not true." Sarah began to cry. "This is ridiculous, I'm leaving" and with that Sarah headed for the door.
"Yerh go on. Run away." Shouted Arizona.
Everyone just stared in disbelief. Arizona had lost it and Meredith had, had enough.
"Outside now" she said grabbing hold of Arizona's arm.
Meredith ragged Arizona out of Joes and onto the street.
"I'm not going to let you make this all about you. It's not about you. Levi is up in that ICU alone and you're sat in a bar, flirting with another woman. Have some respect for her Arizona. I get it's hard and I get you're hurting but we all are. We are all hurting but we all should be hurting together not getting drunk and hitting up people at the bar and having fights with exes. Levi would hate to see you like this and she wouldn't want you arguing and putting the blame on anyone, even yourself. So, sober the fuck up and go see her!"
"It hurts so much to see her like that" cried Arizona. "I feel helpless"
"We all do but that doesn't mean we take it out on her and not visit. The first thing she is going to want to see when she opens her eyes are the people she loves, so that's what she's going to see." Meredith pulled Arizona into a hug.
"She's going to wake up, I promise"
