Callie´s POV
It seemed like time slowed down as I watched Arizona´s body hit the ground with a thud, I could hear screaming, I could hear Penny pleading and crying, but none of that mattered. After what seemed like hours but in reality were only mere minutes I ran over to Arizona dropping to my knees and holding her gently praying to god that I did not just lose the love of my life.
Springing into action I went into Doctor mode observing the gsw. Calliope I am so sorry I swear I didn't mean to hurt anyone Penny pleaded to me I just wanted to scare you to make you see that you belong with me. Arizona had a gaping hole about the size of a nickel on her chest merely centimeters from where her heart is. Callie please I don´t want to go to jail Penny cried in my ear.
Turning quickly towards the culprit so many emotions overpower me but the one that stood out the most was hate. Looking back down at Arizona slowing bleeding out on me I knew this wasn't the time to instigate further. Penny I know you didn´t mean to I will tell the cops that it was an accident, but you need to get help for Arizona or she will die. Crying but shaking her head she said what do I need to do to save her life?
I need you to turn yourself in, the hospital is probably on lock down until they find you Arizona doesn´t have that long it was an accident penny please just do the right thing I stated with tears in my eyes. She quickly obliged and I was left all alone looking and waiting.
Praying that she was OK wishing that her beautiful blue eyes would open and she would be OK. Instead my hands were covered in her blood, her body was cold, and her breathing was shallow. I knew if we didn't get into surgery she wouldn't make it.
Finally after what seemed like forever Hunt and kepner rushed in with a stretcher ready to take her to surgery. Meredith rushed towards me trying to ask me what had happened but at this point all I wanted was for Arizona to be OK. Bailey pulled me to the side, Torres, you need to be checked out. No Bailey I need to be by her side I need to make sure that I wont lose her. Torres, Robbins shes a fighter you wont lose her, but we need to make sure that you're ok so she wont lose you.
You don't know that, I just got her back and I might lose her, I just keep losing her. I lost her to Africa, to that damn plane crash, to Lauren, and now a fucking gsw, I keep losing her and this time it may be for good I stated sobbing. Torres, listen every time you thought you lost her she has come back, Robbins shes a fighter, she's not leaving you or that beautiful child of yours without a fight now go get cleaned up and checked out she said to me before walking away.
Quickly cleaning myself up and getting the all clear from Bailey, I went straight to the OR to observe the surgery, after only a few tense minutes I knew I couldn't sit there without driving myself crazy, Meredith, Altman, Jackson and many otherś came to comfort me but that drove me even more crazy.
Stepping out I knew I needed to make some calls. Grabbing my phone I dialed the familiar number with a heaviness on my heart. After ringing a few times the sweet voice of Barb Robbins floated through the phone. Hi Callie dear, is everything ok? No Barb, itś Arizona, she's been shot, she's in the middle of surgery I said unable to stop the sob that racketed my body.
After assuring me that she would take the next flight to Seattle I hung up and waited. My brain goes over our history, replaying it like a movie, the kisses, the ¨ I love yous¨ the arguments, the laughs, everything. Callie. Looking up I see Kepner rushing towards me and I knew she could destroy my world in just 3 words so I held my breath as she came over, my eyes filled with emotion and my heart filled with hope.
Her heart stopped, we lost her, My brain went completely limp and I felt my heart shatter. Everytime we thought she was gone she came back fighting, She's alive Callie. The bullet did do significant damage, Ripping through her aorta, but Pierce was able to fix it. The biggest concern as of right now is the swelling to the brain, it seems as if when she fell she hit the back of her head pretty hard. Now there is no telling how much damage is there and what the outcome of her brain will be when she wakes up, but as of right now she's alive. Amelia put her into a medically induced coma just so the brain can take time to heal, but you can go see her right now.
Rushing into her room I looked as her small fragile body laying on the bed and even with the diagnosis I just heard I felt relieved, She didn't leave me she was still here fighting. Pulling the chair closer to her bed I grabbed her hand giving it a gentle kiss. Arizona I need you to wake up soon, I already miss your beautiful smile, mesmerizing eyes, and amazing dimples, I said to her. I need you to hurry up and wake up so I can spend the rest of my life with you.
So I AM NOT a Doctor but I did watch 17 seasons of greys so i'm hoping that at least some of that diagnosis was correct. Anyway thank you guys for your kind words. It really got me through these last few days. Don't forget to review, it makes me upload faster but i hope you guys enjoyed this chapter.
