Chapter 16:

"Arizona?" She heard the small voice calling her name.

She remembered and she wished she didn't.

Slowly opening her eyes, she was met with her mother's. Her eyes were puffy and red, a clear sign that she has been crying. Then looking at her left she saw her father, he stood tall but something was off. He wasn't this intimidating man anymore, he was just pathetic and she could see nervousness in his eyes.

Then she remembered, he was the one who ruined her life! Because of him she was stuck here. Her anger started rising the more she thought of all the things her father was responsible for. Then she felt like she would explode from rage when she remembered what he was about to do just second before.

He was about to hit her mother! Hadn't it been for her God knows he would've done to her.

"Get out." She said through gritted teeth. It was taking everything she had in her not to jump on him. She ignored the fact that she couldn't do much in the state she was in.

He looked at her like he was confused, like he didn't know what she was talking about or that she was talking to him, and it was only making her angrier.

"Did you not hear what I just said? Get the fuck out of here before I call security!"

"Wh-"

"Get the fuck out!" She yelled and this time he seemed to understand because he started walking to the door. Arizona thought that he might give a little bit more resistance before leaving but to her surprise he left without saying another word. However, she knew that he would be back.

Once he was gone Arizona turned her attention to her mother who had fresh tears in her eyes. She didn't know what to say to her so she did the only thing she could think of and took her in her arms.

It seemed it was the right thing to do. Because as soon as her mother's heard touched her shoulder she broke down into sobs.

They stayed like that for a few moments, Barbara crying on Arizona's shoulder and Arizona holding her mother tight. She closed her eyes and felt a single tear fall down her cheek. It felt good to be in her mother's arms. She hadn't seen her in a while and now that they were finally reunited she felt a little bit better even though she would have preferred it being in another circumstance.

In this moment Barbara forgot everything about what she had learned a few hours ago and just sought comfort in her daughter. She didn't know what would've happened if Arizona hadn't stopped him and just the thought of it made her shiver.

"I'm sorry you had to see that." Barbara apologized finally releasing Arizona and sitting in the chair next to Arizona's bed.

"You don't have to apologize mom." Arizona started. Her heart broke a little more when she saw her mother struggle to contain her tears. "You are the victim here mom."

Barbara only nodded her head before standing up. Arizona looked at her with a confused look, not knowing where she was going.

"I need to freshen up a little, I'll be right back." Barbara said before going to the bathroom that was in Arizona's room.

Arizona sighed, she didn't know what her mother was feeling and she felt like she was holding something from her. She wanted to tell her that she remembered, she wanted to tell her everything. She needed to talk to someone but she knew that she couldn't especially when her mother was in this state. It would only make things worse.

"Well I must say, I am quite proud of you my dear." She heard someone say in a faux accent making her jump a little.

Looking up, her eyes widened. She opened her mouth a few time but nothing came out.

"Well that is the first time that I see you speechless, even when you were without your memory you talked more." He said jokingly.

"Tim.." She whispered.

"Well, that's a start." He said clapping.

She knew it wasn't the first time that she saw him, but it was the first time she's seeing him with her memory back. Seeing him now, she remembered the last time she actually saw him.

She remembers the smile he threw her just before going inside that building. She remembers going after him when the building started falling and she remembers seeing the ceiling fall on him just before she could get to him.

She felt the tears welling in her eyes. She kept looking at him, she couldn't stop it.

"Are… are you dead?" She asked the dreaded question. "Is that why I am seeing you? Oh my god! You are dead, I couldn't save you!" She was now full on crying. She couldn't help herself, everything was coming back to her and her emotions were a mess. "I couldn't save you and now you're dead! I'm so sorry Tim, I tried, I really tried."

Tim took her in his arms and she could swear that she could smell him and feel him as if he was really here and it only mad her cry harder. She wished he was here, she wished her little brother was really taking her in his arms and comforting her like he always did.

"Shhh, it's ok Arizona, I'm good now. It wasn't your fault, you did everything you could. You even stupidly risked your life to save mine." She was still crying and Tim didn't know what to say to make her stop. "Listen Arizona, I don't have very long before I need to go back... for good this time." He started realizing wasn't listening Arizona. He made her look at him before he continued. "I need you to do something for me. You have to talk to Callie."

"What? No way!" She exclaimed.

"Come on Arizona… you need to talk to her, it's important." Tim insisted. She could see on his face that it was really important. "Promise me you'll talk to her."

"I promise..." She reluctantly said. Tim took her in his arms one more time before kissing her on the forehead.

"Remember, I'll always be with you big sis and I'll always love you." With that he disappeared right in front of Arizona's glassy eyes. Once he was completely gone Arizona broke down once again in tears. She just lost her brother for the second time.

Arizona crying her heart out was the sight that greeted Barbara when she came out of the bathroom. She barely managed to compose herself, she was on the verge of crying again. She ran to her daughter's side before taking her in her arms and letting her cry on her shoulder.

She knew they needed to talk but right now was not the good time for it. Right now her daughter needed her mother.
