The SVU squad is my family

Crutches and suicide

Arizona's pov.

I wake up to the sun shining in my room. I sit up and my ankle is throbbing. I look at my clock and it's 5:49. I have another 40 minutes until I have to get up. I'm too lazy to grab my boot and put it on. So I grab the crutches and stand up.

I look at myself in the full length mirror. I still have my braided hair from yesterday. I pull out my ponytail and my hair is really curly. I open the door and head to the kitchen. I pick up a bag of frozen peas and walk to the couch. I take the remote and sit down. I put the bag of peas on my ankle and turn on the news. I see the commissioner making a speech and he's at the end of his speech.

"Now I know that some of you say that the stop and frisks are getting too frequent. Well we have added some regulations for our officers to follow." He says. A lot of reporters start yelling out things at him. He nods at one of them. "Alex jones with the New York Times. Do you think that these new regulations will limit the stop and frisks from happening?" A reporter asks. "I don't know if it will limit how many happen but it will make the regulations more strict." He says. A guy with gray hair puts his hand over the mic and whispers something to the commissioner. He nods and then the camera goes blank.

"Hey honey bun," I hear dad say. "Hi daddy," I say. "What's wrong with your foot?" He ask pointing. "It's throbbing." He nods with a frown on his face. "You gonna be able to go to school?" He asks rubbing my shoulder. "Yeah, I should be. Is there any way we can put an ice pack around my ankle and keep it there while I'm at school?" I ask. "Yes but half way through you will have to go to the nurse to get it changed." He says going into my room and coming back out with my boot. "Ok thanks." I say. "We still have an hour before you even need to get ready. I'm going to have a friend of mine come and look at it. You remember Melinda right?" He asks. "Yeah," I say nodding. "Okay. Let me call her."
He says.

I take the peas off and and my ankle is swollen and kinda purple. I sigh and rest my head on the couch. My phone is buzzing. I look and its Nicki.

A: hello?
N: hey I need to tell you something. It's kinda sad.
A: what?
N: a girl at our school killed herself.
A: oh that's sad.
N: yeah so my uncle is going to come and talk to us. All of the school.
A: okay. Is he the one who picked you up yesterday?
N: no that's my uncle Jaime. my uncle Danny is the one that's coming. He is talking to the 1st wing with his partner detective Baez. Then 6 other detectives are taking the 2nd, 3rd and 4th wing.
A: okay so your uncle will talk to our class in 1st period?
N: yup I thought I should let you know.
A: okay thanks
N: bye
A: bye.

I hang up and I see dad opening the door. "Hey Melinda. Thanks for coming. She says that her ankle is throbbing." Dad says opening the door. "No problem, hey Arizona." She says coming over with a bag in her hands. "Hi," I say. "So your ankle has been throbbing" She asks taking my ankle and Looking at it. "Yeah, it was fine when I went to bed last night then I woke up this morning and it was throbbing." I say as she grabs something out of her bag. "How long were you on crutches before the boot?" She ask taking a ice pack and wrapping it around my ankle. "Um not very long only a couple days." I say. "That's why, your ankle hasn't healed correctly yet and when you put weight on it, it's pushing on the fracture and not letting it heal correctly. Who's your doctor?" She explains. "Dr. Matt Baker." I say. "Okay well I'd just keep using the crutches and go see him soon so he can get you a doctors note for gym."

She takes an ace wrap and ties it around my foot. She grabs my crutches and gives them to me. I thank her then go to my bathroom tame my curls. I go get dressed and put on my uniform, converses, black headband with a bow on it, and my necklace. (Above) I check myself in the mirror then grab my book bag and go into the kitchen.

I eat a banana and a half donut. Dad walks out of his room and says that before we need to go he needs to tell me something.

"Now Arizona, now that you are in witness protection we need to take some necessary precautions. You are no longer Arizona Finn Brooklyn but now you are Arizona Lynn Brooks. We had to tweak your name a little bit to make you undetectable. We also wiped you out of any and all programs. I changed your name at school so they won't have any record of an Arizona Finn Brooklyn." He explains as he takes a banana. "Okay, oh and a girl killed herself so detectives are gonna come talk to us today," I say as we walk out the door and onto the elevator. "Okay, oh and I almost forgot don't let anyone take your phone. Because after school we are going to have a tech guy wipe it clean but he'll back it up." he said and I nod.

We head down the stairs and to the car. I pull out my phone and text the detective chat but not before doing something first.

ALBrooks: heyyy what's up you guys.
NarcCopJkSvuCop: hey brook... Brooks? Wha?
ALBrooks: dad will fill you guys in.
BadAssBenson: ok. And nothing I'm just still at my desk waiting for cap'n. When are is he gonna get here?
ALBrooks: we are few minutes from school.
DaddyStabler: hey Arizona.
ALBrooks: hey what's up?
DaddyStabler: same as Liv and Fin
ALBrooks: okay
GeorgiaPeach: hey y'all
BadAssBenson: hi Amanda
GeorgiaPeach: hey liv
ALBrooks: hey Amanda I would stay and chat but I have to go to school. See you people later.
NarcCopJkSvuCop:bye Arizona
BadAssBenson:bye my little butterfly

We drive a little more and we get to school. "Bye dad. I'll see you after school." I say. "Okay. Just don't let anyone take your phone. You can go one day with out taking a selfie." He says. I laugh and turn off my phone and I get out of the car. I go to my locker and get my books for my first 4 classes. I go in Mrs. Sieferts room and say hi to her and Nicky. Nicky is sitting at her desk talking to 2 detectives; a boy and a girl. "Hey Arizona this is my Uncle Danny and his partner detective Maria Baez." She says. "Hey Nicky, detective Reagan and Baez." I address the detectives. Danny nods and Maria smiles. "What happened? What did you do now?" She asks taking my book bag from me and helping me sit down. "I don't really know they just said that I should go back on crutches," I say. She shrugs and I shrug.

The rest of the class comes in and we take our seats. "Now class, as some of you may know Mackenzie Michael is no longer with us. She committed suicide last night. Detectives Reagan and Baez are here to talk to you kids about it."
