The alley behind the apartment complex was dimly lit, the streetlamp flickering as though it could sense the tension brewing. The faint smell of garbage lingered in the air, mingling with the distant hum of traffic. Arizona stood between Sam and Tory, feeling trapped, their heart pounding like a drum.

Sam's gaze was fiery, her fists clenched tightly at her sides. The anger radiating off her was palpable, almost suffocating. Arizona tried to say something, to diffuse the situation, but the words stuck in their throat.

Without warning, Sam stepped forward and shoved Arizona hard. They stumbled backward, catching themselves against the cold metal of a trash bin.

"You-!" Sam's voice was sharp, cracking with raw emotion. "You didn't do anything! Tory knew Silver cheated at the All Valley, and you let it happen!"

"Sam, please!" Arizona begged, raising their hands in a futile attempt to calm her.

Sam's face twisted with anguish and rage. "Do you know what that did to me? To my family? You were so hurt after the All Valley that you took Dylan and ran off to Mexico!" She pointed at Arizona accusingly, her voice trembling. "It's your fault we're broken up!"

Arizona's breath hitched as the words hit them like a slap to the face. Tears welled in their eyes, but before they could respond, Tory stepped forward, putting herself between Sam and Arizona.

"Hey!" Tory's voice cut through the tension like a whip. "You don't know what it's like-what Arizona and I've had to deal with!"

Sam's gaze snapped to Tory, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "Don't act like you're the victim here," she spat.

Arizona was frozen, their body rooted to the spot as Sam lunged at Tory with a wild swing. Tory blocked the punch, her reflexes sharp, but Sam didn't stop. She pivoted and lashed out with a kick, her foot connecting with Tory's side and sending her stumbling into Arizona. The two of them crashed into the trash bins behind them, the metal rattling loudly.

"Sam, stop!" Arizona cried, scrambling to their feet. "We don't want to fight!"

But Sam wasn't listening. Her face was a mask of fury as she charged forward again, aiming another kick. Arizona and Tory barely rolled out of the way in time, the force of the kick denting the trash bin.
