The girl looks at Arizona. "How do you know that?" Arizona moves and beckons Brianna to stand in front of her and Callie, which she does, then Arizona answers.
"Brianna told me." Julia looks at me confused.
"What did you say?" I backpedal quickly, "Nothing. I said nothing!"
I turn to run away but Callie quickly grabs my arm. "Oh no, you are staying right here little missy."
I glare at Callie but I know she is right so I move back to where I was. Arizona leans down and whispers in my ear.
"Just tell her how you feel; you may be surprised at how it ends."
I look down and take a deep breath, "Okumjuliailikeyou." It all comes out in a rush and I am not sure she totally understood me until I am being squished like some overstuffed teddy bear. I dare to look up and find Julia hugging me. "Um why are you hugging me? Most people would be running for the hills by now." Callie tisks in anger, the Arizona quiets her so the girls won't be disturbed.
"Wow, Brianna, for being so smart…."
She kept talking but I wasn't listening. I was actually looking over her shoulder at her pissed boyfriend. As things began to slow I pushed Julia back toward Callie and took the brunt of Brad's weight as her crashed into me. As I took a fist to the face I felt my stitches pull tight and break. Then Arizona was there pulling Brad off of me. Callie saw the blood from my ruptured stitches so she picked me up and walked to the nearest room so she could fix them. So Arizona was left to deal with Julia but then Mark came waltzing down the hall. "Hey Arizona, do you know where Callie is?" Arizona smiled thinly, "Mark I am dealing with something right now so I don't have time to help you." Mark mutters something under his breath as he walks off. Arizona turns back to Julia. "So how long have you been in love with her?"
"I have been in love with her ever since I saw her at prom junior year but I was with Brad, who hates homosexuals, so I kept quiet and now with the shooting and her saving me it just confirmed it for me."
They sat quietly until they heard Callie yelling in Spanish followed by the call, "Dam it people I need an OR stat and get that asshole out of here and in jail." Arizona pulled Julia back to her as Brad walked past a sadistic smile on his face. He looked at Julia, "Looks like your little lover girl won't make it." Julia had no idea what came over her as she lashed out, her fist connecting with his face. Arizona pulled her back again so she couldn't do anymore damage to herself or Brad. Once Brad had left Julia fell to the floor crying. By now half of the staff of Seattle Grace and Mercy West was standing there. Arizona who wasn't known for yelling barked out, "What the hell are you staring for, get back to work." Everyone left except for Mark who walked up sheepishly and apologized to Arizona.
"Dr. Robbins?"
"Yes Dr. Sloan?"
"Well I just wanted to apologize for my earlier behavior and I wanted to offer my help with your patient's hand." Mark pointed to Julia's hand which as of now Arizona hadn't noticed, was bleeding. Arizona managed to get Julia up and walked her to one of the beds in the med bay. Arizona held her hand while Sloan meticulously cleaned and stitched it. Finally when he was done Julia turned to Arizona and asked with tear filled eyes, "Is she going to make it because I don't think I can live without her now. I just met her and now she's gone." Julia starts bawling so Arizona hugs her close to herself.
Finally the girl falls asleep due to overall stress and exhaustion.
Arizona leaves the girl knowing that she will sleep for at least two hours. She and Mark walk slowly back to the nurses' station.
"What was that all about?"
"Love," Arizona answers simply.
Mark was not giving up with that simple an answer, "No that was not simply love, that was full blown drama that the nurses will be talking about for weeks, especially because it got the normally cheerful," Mark mimes quotation marks in the air, "Dr. Robbins to yell. So it's safe to say it was more than love."
Arizona sighs and looks at Mark. "It's complicated."
"Well then uncomplicate it for me."
Arizona glares at Mark. "No, in fact I think it would be best if you just drop it before I have to yell again, and I so do hate yelling."
Mark raises his hands in defeat. "Ok, ok, you win, you win, because I never want to hear you yell, its way to scary."
Arizona smiles and walks away from a stunned Mark Sloan. She is grabbing a couple of chart until she hears Mark yell. "Callie what the hell happened to you? It looks like you picked the wrong fight."
Arizona turns around to find Callie holding an ice pack to the left side of her face. "Shut up Mark, I don't need to take this bull from you."
Arizona moves away from what she is doing and goes to Callie. She reaches for the ice pack but Callie flinches back. Callie finally relents and moves the ice pack away herself. Arizona hisses through her teeth as she sees the ugly bruise forming on Callie's left eye and her busted lip. "Oh god Callie what happened?"
"That dick brained jock happened?"
Arizona looked wary for a second. "Wait, Brad did this to you? How?"
Callie tried to look mad but just ended up wincing instead. "I left to get some painkillers for Brianna and was only gone for a couple of minutes. I come back to find Brad going after her with a scalpel and that boy was vicious. She had defensive wounds on her arm and a bad stab wound to the chest." I grabbed him from behind and got him to drop the scalpel and once I thought I had him under control I let him go and he comes back with a punch to the face but by then the security was there along with a police officer who just happened to be here. When I turned around to look at Brianna I noticed a small pool of blood as she tried to hold herself up." That's when I yelled for an OR and you know the rest from there.
"Yes except you don't know that Julia punched Brad in the face before he left."
