Chapter Six: My Sister Rose

At roughly 4am, Arizona was awoken to the soft and muffled crying of Amelia whom was in the bed just a few mere feet across from her. She looked over her shoulder and saw the girl clutching her pillow and crying into it. Arizona knew she wouldn't be able to just go back to sleep now, so she sat up in her bed a little. "Amelia?" Arizona's voice echoed across the small room.

Upon hearing Arizona's voice, Amelia quickly wiped her eyes and sniffled her nose. "Mmm?" She grumbled, pretending that she had been asleep the whole time. Arizona knew this wasn't true, though, so she stood up and sat on the edge of Amelia's bed.

"What's up?" Arizona asked but instead of a response, Amelia scooted over and tugged on Arizona's sleeve. Arizona just nodded and laid down beside Amelia and even though there wasn't much space, they both seemed to feel content. Amelia grabbed onto Arizona's shirt and laid on her; her tears slowly subsiding until she was finally back asleep.

Arizona sighed out of relief when Amelia was back asleep and tried to move back to her bed, but every time she moved Amelia stirred so instead she tried to fall asleep there and even though it was uncomfortable and cramped she still managed to fall into a peaceful slumber once again.

Amelia properly woke up at around 9am and was confused at first at why she was cuddling Arizona but then she remembered the nightmare she had and how Arizona helped her calm down and fall asleep once again.

She was somehow able to wiggle out of bed and make her way into the kitchen to make a hot chocolate. Amelia was unsure why this was always her drink of choice but it didn't really bother her much because it truly was delicious. Like a chocolate milkshake but warm and just overall nicer.

Amelia sat on the couch and began to watch some daytime television; which was basically just game shows and only a few minutes after she finished her hot chocolate, Arizona was up. "Hey sleepyhead!" Amelia chuckled, standing up and throwing her mug in the sink. Arizona just rubbed her eyes and yawned, "Morning" She grumbled as she walked over to the coffee machine and waited for her coffee to be made so she could properly wake up.

"Sorry about waking you last night, really, I was fine." Amelia scratched the back of her head nervously and Arizona just shrugged. "It's alright, bad dream?" She asked and Amelia just nodded, confirming what Arizona had assumed. "Right" Arizona smiled, noting that Amelia sometimes gets nightmares.

As Arizona began to drink her coffee, she immediately felt herself wake up. They both moved back over and sat on the couch, both nervous but they weren't sure why. Amelia moved over and leaned her head on Arizona's lap and Arizona pat Amelia's head, running her fingers through the brunette's hair.

Amelia chose what to watch again and settled on a movie called, 'The Sound of Music'. So, they both snuggled and watched the movie. Neither of them fell asleep and they barely watched the movie; their attention was fixated on each other. Amelia kept getting distracted by the warmth of Arizona's legs and Arizona kept getting distracted by how soft Amelia's hair felt as she ran her fingers through it.

Once the movie finished, Amelia rolled over so she was facing Arizona and for what felt like forever, they both just stared at one another; until Arizona leaned down and gave Amelia a kiss. After a couple of seconds, though, they both pulled away and turned into bright red, blushing messes.

"Sorry!" Arizona apologised, covering her face with her hands out of embarrassment. "S-sorry too" Amelia squealed, biting her bottom lip and fidgeting with her hands. They both slowly calmed their racing hearts before they sat up, too nervous to look each other in the eyes.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom" Arizona stated.

"Gonna go bathroom" Amelia mumbled.

They both spoke at the same time, thus making them more embarrassed. Arizona turned even redder and quickly stood up, rushing to the bathroom and leaving Amelia to sort herself out. She thankfully had her phone but had no one to call, unlike Amelia whom was already calling Addison from her speed dial.

"Addie! Addie! Addie!" She whispered in an urgent panic, moving over to the far end of the kitchen which was as far from the bathroom as she could get while remaining in the apartment. "What? What happened? Are you okay?" Addison asked and Amelia sat on the ground, pulling her knees up to her chest.

"Rrrrggghhhh! How do I do this? Date someone?" Amelia said in a hushed whisper and from the other line she heard a soft sigh of what seemed to be relief escape from Addison's lips. "Ames, will it help if I drive down to see you?" Addison asked and Amelia just mumbled, "Mmh."

"Alright, how about you go on a short walk to clear your mind? I'll be there in a couple of hours." Addison said and Amelia nodded. "Okay, see you soon." Amelia responded and then hung up. "Ari, I'm going for a walk. Don't worry!" Amelia knocked on the bathroom door and yelled before grabbing her jacket and leaving.

Once Arizona heard the door open and then close, she emerged from the bathroom with a slightly less red face than a few minutes prior. She ended up moving onto the couch and having a 'short' nap, well that was her intentions anyway.
