Terrified To Love You

Chapter Eleven

Eliza's pov
I wake up to Arizona's screams. "Arizona! Arizona, what hurts?" I ask as I flip on the lights. She is clutching her stomach. I gasp as she vomits blood. "Andrew!" I scream, laying her on her side so she doesn't choke on her own blood. He comes rushing in, his eyes widening when he sees Arizona. "We need to get her to the hospital. Stay with Sofia. Just tell her Arizona is sick or something if she wakes up. Don't alarm her." I order. Andrew nods. I wrap Arizona in a warm blanket and pick her up. She screams in pain and clutches her stomach. I carry her down the stairs, only pausing to grab the keys, before running to the car and setting Arizona in the back seat. "Hang in there baby. It's going to be ok." I soothe as I quickly hop into the driver's seat and start the car. I drive as fast as I can and pull up in front of the ER. I pick Arizona up and carry her into the ER. Dr. Hunt notices us and rushes over. "Gurney now!" He yells. The nearest intern runs over with a gurney and I lie Arizona down on it. "Minnick start talking. What the hell happened?" He screams as we rush Arizona into a room. "I woke up to her screaming. She was vomiting blood. I got her here as fast as I could. Please don't let her die. I love her." I beg.

"I'll do everything I can. I'm sorry, but its policy. Family cannot be in the room." I say as I gentle place a hand on Eliza's shoulder and lead her outside. I turn my attention back to Arizona, who is still screaming. "Robbins. I'm going to put you under. Stay with me." I order as I place the anesthesia mask on her. Her eyes close and she is out cold. "Get her to an OR now! She had eternal bleeding!" I order.

I sit in the waiting room, head buried in my hands. I can't loose her. I just found her. I hear a voice and glance up to see a woman who looks just like Sofia. She must be Callie. "What happened? Arizona's roommate called and said she was here." She asks as she sits down next to me. "I woke up to her screaming. I thought it was a nightmare at first but she was vomiting blood. I brought her here. Sofia is with Andrew." I say, running my hands through my hair. "She'll be ok. I'm Callie by the way." She says as she shakes my hand. "I figured that. You look just like Sofia. I'm Eliza. Dr. Hunt just took her for surgery." I yawn. "Yeah, Arizona's told me a lot about you. She'll be fine, you know. She's a tough one." Callie says. "Yeah. She is. I can't loose her. I love her." I murmur. "I'm glad she found you. She's happy. That's all I ever wanted for her." Callie says sincerely. "Yeah, me too. " I yawn. "Sleep. I'll wake you when she is out of surgery." Callie says. "Ok." I say as I rest my head against my bag and fall asleep.
Owen's pov
"Her appendix is ruptured. Prepare for an appendectomy . She must have fallen!" I order. The scrub nurses rush to prepare. Once they have prepared, I say: "Scalpel!" They hand me a scalpel and I remove the appendix. Suddenly, the monitor goes crazy. "There is a bleeder. Lap pads!" I scream as I make another cut to find the bleeder. I find it and shut it down. "There." I say as I stitch her up. I order an intern to take Arizona to a private room and wash up before going to find Minnick. I had no idea they were dating. I thought it was just a rumor. I find her asleep in a chair. Torres is next to her, also asleep. I gently shake Minnick awake. "Is she ok?!" She exclaims. "She's going to be fine. Her appendix ruptured, most likely before a fall." I explain.

"Can I see her?" I ask hopefully. "Yes. She should be waking up soon. This way." Hunt says as he leads me to a room. I go inside and he closes the door behind me and leaves. Arizona looks so pale. She is lying there, bandages on her stomach, IV in her arm. Her blond hair is laying across the pillow. I pull up a chair and take her pale hand in mine. All that's left to do is wait for her to wake up.

I awake to a dull throb in my gut. I glance down and notice bandages. I feel someone holding my hand and look down to see Eliza asleep, using my thigh as a pillow. I smile at my girlfriend and with the hand she isn't holding, brushing her dark hair out of her face. She stirs and opens her eyes. "Hey." I croak as she sits up. "Hey. How are you feeling?" She asks. "I'm not too bad. What happened?" I ask. "You ruptured your appendix. They had to perform an appendectomy. You're going to be fine. Sofia is with Andrew. She's in good hands." Eliza assures me. I smile weakly at her and wince as my stomach throbs.

It pains me when Arizona winces. "Do you need anything?" I ask. "Just some water please." She says. I pour her a glass from the pitcher on the bedside table and hand it to her. She guzzles it down and hands it back to me. "Thanks." She murmurs. I set the glass down and take her hand in mine once more. "Of course love. You just focus on getting well." I soothe. "Eliza?" She asks. "Yeah?" "Hold me?" "I don't want to hurt you..." I murmur worriedly. "You won't. Come." She orders, begging me with her blue eyes. I can never say no to those ocean blue eyes of hers.
Arizona's pov
I scotch over so Eliza can crawl into the bed with me. She gently takes me in her arms. "Is this ok?" She asks tentatively. "It's ok, Eliza. Better than ok. I love being held by you." I sigh contentedly as I rest my head on her chest. "I love you. Get some rest. I'm right here." She soothes. "I love you too. You need to sleep, too." I say. She nods and we fall asleep, wrapped in each other's arms.
