Expect the Unexpected

First Day

meredith's pov-
*couple days later*

I've been dreading today. I don't wanna leave, don't want to go, don't want to be around those people, overall I don't want to stay. Arizona is currently sleeping on a chair next to my hospital bed. There was a knock on the door.

"Come in" I said lightly. They opened the door. Great, this bitch. "Hi Meredith! You'll be brought upstairs in a bit." Dr. Hill said. "Yep thanks Molly." I replied bitterly as she walked out. I looked over and saw Arizona waking up. I smiled.

"Hi sleepyhead." I spoke and she smiled. She got up and kissed my head. "Hi honey." She replied stretching out her arms and cracking her back. "How long was I asleep?" she asked. "A while, about two ish hours." I replied.

"Oh nooo I told you to wake me up in ten minutes. I wanted to be with you before you got admitted." She pouted. "I'm sorry, you looked so peaceful and relaxed." I replied. She leaned down and kissed me.

"I'm sorry" I spoke once she pulled away. "Baby stop apologizing, it's okay." She said. "I'm going to miss you, I don't want to go. Don't make me." I whined.

"You have to, to get better. Then when you get out we'll have the best date ever." I smiled at her response. I'm going to miss seeing her face, her hair, her scent, her comfort, everything really. "Okay fine I'll go." I pouted.

"Gimme a kiss." I spoke and she leaned down giving me a peck. "I want another one." She giggled and kissed me again. She pulled away cupping my face. "Oh! I got everything you need." She grabbed the tote bag from the other chair. You need to bring things here? The fuck.

"Some clothes, mostly mine shirts and stuff because I figured you'd want that sort of comfort. Your lavender shampoo and conditioner, body wash, hair brush, hair ties, your journal and a blanket. Is there anything else you want or to swap out?" She explained. "No, thank you. This is amazing. I'm going to miss you, a lot. Especially not being able to sleep next to you." I answered.

"I know babe but think about it, three weeks? That's not that bad, it could've been two months." She replied. I nodded my head and someone knocked on the door. I said 'come in' and it was Nurse Olivia with a wheelchair signaling they're ready to take me up.

"Give me one second." I replied and she walked outside the door to wait. I looked up at arizona and stood up. "I'm gonna miss you." I said. "I'll miss you more." she replied ticking a piece of my hair behind my ear. "Don't leave me for someone else." I said. she nodded her head. "No, I wouldn't think of it." she spoke kissing my head.

"I love you." I said. "I love you more babygirl." She said whilst hugging me tightly. She placed a kiss on the top of my head. She let go and I saw a tears in her eyes. It broke my heart. I walked
towards the door telling Olivia I was ready to go.

I looked back at Arizona and she gave me the bag and kissed my lips once more, tears rolling down her cheeks. I sat in the chair and was wheeled away. I was wearing normal clothes that I changed into earlier whole arizona was asleep so I didn't have to. I'm wear black leggings and arizonas hopkins hoodie.

I was now on the psych floor. I was brought to a group room with other people. I sat in a corner table holding my bag for dear life. Some girl came up to me and sat with me. She had freckles, pale skin, ginger/light brown hair and was like four inches taller than me.

"Hey." She spoke. "Hi?" I questioned, this was a weird situation. I kinda just hoped no one would talk to me and I would leave. "Whatcha here for?" She asked. Why would I tell her? "Uhm, why?" I asked back. "Okay then my name is Eva." She said. "Uh hi, my name is Meredith." I replied.

She inched closer to me as I moved away. I looked into her blue ish eyes but I'd rather look at Arizonas ocean eyes.

"Why are you so difficult?" She asked. I looked at her confused. "What do you mean?" I questioned. "Obviously i'm tryna get to know you. You're a cute little thing." she spoke, now I know why she's here. She's delusional. "Uhm I don't wanna get to know you, I have a girlfriend." I replied lowly.

"Okay, and?" she obviously didn't get the hint. "No one should cheat, it hurts. I won't cheat on her." I replied. I noticed someone familiar and she walked up. "Oh my god. Dr. Grey what are you doing here?" This girl asked. "So you're a doctor huh?" Eva asked. I ignored her. "I'm sorry I don't remember you." I said sadly.

"I was the girl you helped, it's me Holly." She answered. Oh my god, the girl who was kidnapped at six years old. "Oh my god hi honey!" I said realizing it was her. "Hi!! I'm shocked to see you here." she said. "You as well. Are you okay?" I asked and she nodded her head.

*Hours later*

It was around 8pm and I was laying in my bed. Curled up in the blanket arizona packed and crying into her sweatshirt. I put the hood over my head and laid there. I couldn't sleep. It was hard not having her here to sing me asleep, having me in her arms, the comfort. I didn't have it here.

I want to leave hopefully instead of three weeks i'm only here for two. Soon enough I cried myself
to sleep, dreaming about being in the comfort of arizonas arms.
