Elizona One-Shots

Chapter Fifty: Bullrider

Prompt by HayleyTroutman97 (see above)

Eliza hops on the angry beast and smiles as the crowd cheers. She holds onto the trashing beast with one arm and lifts the other in show. She continues to ride for a whole minute, much more than most men and woman can, and finally hops off the bull, who is lead away, still thrashing wildly. She turns to the judges and they hold up their scores. 25, 25, 25, and 25 for a grand total of 100. A perfect score, which is rare. The crowd goes wild and Eliza grins and bows before heading to the locker rooms. There she finds her girlfriend, looking very worried. "Hey baby. What's wrong?," Eliza asks, immediately walking towards the blond and pulling her in for a hug. "I'm so scared you're going to get hurt, El. I can't loose you," Arizona confesses. "Don't worry, love. I won't get hurt," Eliza promises, grinning cockily at her lover, who smiles uncertainly back at her. Little does Eliza know, she just made a promise that will be broken in a month's time
One month later...
Eliza rides the bull and the crowd cheers. This bull is particularly angry and vicious. Many riders have gotten hurt riding this bull. Suddenly, the bull bucks and Eliza looses her grip. She is thrown into a gate and hits her head hard. The crowd gasps and she hears a faint cry of "Eliza!" before the world goes black. The last thing she sees is her girlfriend's face, hovering over her, looking worried yet gorgeous just the same.

"She sustained a brain injury. We were able to fix it. However, she is in a coma and we don't know if she is going to wake up," the doctor informs Arizona. Arizona nods miserably before heading to her lover's room. She sits by Eliza's side and takes her pale hand in hers. Eliza is very pale, a bandage around her head, IV in her hand. "Oh god Liza. Please wake up. I need you. I want to marry you. I want to have kids with you. Please stay," Arizona sobs. Each day that passes, Arizona is by her beloved's side, holding her hand and praying she will open those mysterious eyes of hers. On the 16th day, Eliza stirs. She opens her eyes to find the blond by her side, using Eliza's thigh as a pillow. "Mmm," Eliza says groggily. "Eliza? Oh my god," Arizona says, lifting her head and looking into the brunette's eyes "Marry me?," Eliza asks hoarsely. Arizona lets out a relieved laugh and throws herself into her lover's arms. "Yes! Yes! I'll marry you, but you are never getting on a bull again, you hear? I love you and I can't ever loose you," Arizona says. "I won't. I'm so done with bull riding. I love you too, my Arizona," Eliza promises, kissing her lover's forehead. Arizona sighs happily and cuddles into her fiancé's chest, happy as can be.
