Chapter 4: Beef Squashed

No one's POV

Arizona is at work fixing up an old truck. Brent walks in late again, and Arizona is getting tired of it.

"What did I miss?" Brent asked looking at the blonde.

Arizona turns to look at him. "Everything. We had a meeting this morning, but you weren't here. Doug is getting pissed at you, Brent." Arizona said as she wipes her hands.

"Look, I got a lot going on. Try going to school and working." Brent rolls his eyes.

"Try being a single mom and working. You don't know what it's like to be a parent yet. So, don't you try and say you have hard times." Arizona glares at him going back to the truck she's working on.

"Look, I'm sorry Arizona. I have no idea what it's like to be a parent. You're right about that. I'm just trying to save up money to get away from my parents." Brent said putting on his gloves and begins to help Arizona.

Arizona stops. "What's going on, Brent?" Arizona asked him carefully.

"It's nothing." Brent shakes his head not wanting to talk about it.

Arizona sighs. "Brent, I know you and I don't get along that much, but I do care about. I'm a hardass for a reason. I'm a mom, who's struggling to make ends meet. Tell me what's going on." Arizona said crossing her arms.

Brent nods. "I'm in foster care. My foster parents got drunk last night, and started swinging, if you know what I mean." Brent said.

"Stop. They hit you?" Arizona asked placing a hand onto his shoulder.

"Yeah, I wasn't raised by a mother or father. I don't even know who my parents are, Arizona. It sucks because at least Denver has her mom. That's all I've ever wanted was a mom." Brent said.

Arizona feels tears forming. "Brent…I'm sorry. How come you never told anyone?" The Blonde asked.

"I didn't want anybody to give me special treatment. Arizona I'm only 18, I'm trying to graduate in 3 months. Teachers don't give a damn." Brent said.

"Trust me I know the feeling. Look, let's go out to lunch together. I'll let you meet some people." Arizona said.

"Sounds good. Thank you." Brent smiles as he and Arizona get back to work.

Later on

Callie walks into Doug's mechanic shop looking for Arizona.

"Can I help you ma'am?" Doug asked the Latina.

Callie nods. "Yes, is Arizona here?" Callie asked nicely.

Doug nods. "Yo Robbins, you got a visitor." Doug yells smiling at Callie before walking back over to a truck.

"Thanks Doug." Arizona told him walking around the corner to see Callie standing there.

"Hey cutie." Callie waves at her.

Arizona smiles. "Hey, beautiful. What's going on?" Arizona asked wiping her hands off.

"Well, I brought you some lunch. Hope you love tacos and salsa." Callie said handing Arizona the bag.

"Aww, thank you sweetheart. Now, I don't have to spend money." Arizona pulls Callie in for a kiss.

"Whoop!" Brent cheers in happiness.

Arizona pulls away to playfully glare at Brent. "Dude, really?" Arizona chuckles.

"Hey, bout time. Just saying." Brent shrugs. "I'm Brent Harrison." Brent wipes his hands off so he could shake Callie's.

"Callie Torres. Nice to meet you." Callie said shaking his head.

"Same here. Hey, Arizona I'm going to lunch." Brent said with a smile.

"Hey, take this to the back and hide it. I'll split it with you." Arizona said handing Brent the bag.

"It smells good. Can't wait to get some." Brent walks to the back to hide Arizona's food.

"He sees sweet." Callie said wrapping her arms around Arizona's neck.

"We kind squashed our beef. He's just a kid with a hard life, like how I was. I'm just trying to be a good person, and help him." Arizona said.

"Hey, you have an amazing heart. You're doing a great job, Arizona. I'm proud of you." Callie said kissing her cheek.

Arizona blushes. "Thanks, baby. I have the day off tomorrow, you wanna come and hand out with Denver and I?"

"Yeah sure. I have the day off too. I just came down here to bring you something to eat. All that fast food will kill you. I need my favorite blonde to stay ripped." Callie said touching Arizona's strong arms.

Arizona flexes her arms. "Don't tease me. I'm still going to get you back for last night." Arizona said touching Callie's butt.

"Stop it." Callie giggles getting out of Arizona's reach.

"How's Lexie?" Arizona asked linking her fingers with Callie's.

"Oh, she's…"Callie gets interrupted.

"Hey! Can I get some fucking assistance?!" A guy yells in anger.

Arizona walks over to the front where Jackson is. "Jackson, what's going on?" Arizona asked.

"This guy just came barging in here cutting in front of everybody. You need to go to the back of line sir. This woman was before you." Jackson glares at the guy.

"Fuck her. Men go first before a woman." The guy spits.

"I wouldn't fuck you if you payed me you, asshole. Now move." The woman pushes past him. "Thank you, Jackson. I appreciate your time. I'll come back in 3 days." The lady said nicely handing Jackson her keys.

"Yes, ma'am. Thank you, Mrs. Canning's." Jackson logs in Mrs. Canning's info.

The guy slams his hand on the desk making objects shake on it. "Look, I need help with my car. It broke down because my son doesn't know how to take care of shit! Now fucking fix my car, and I'm not paying until I feel like it's fixed." The guy said in anger.

"Hold on! Now you can't just come in here and start demanding shit. Back of the line, and we don't care what your son did. Either go to the back or get out." Arizona hisses.

Doug and Brent come out from the back. Brent freezes when he sees his foster dad.

"Adam? What are you doing here?" Brent asked walking up to him.

"You broke my car. What happened?" Adam asked.

Brent shrugs. "I don't know. Ask Chris. He was the last one in it. I don't even drive your car I have my own." Brent said.

"What the hell are you doing over here, Adam?" Doug asked frowning at Adam.

"Don't worry about that. I need my car fixed. He broke it." Adam points at Brent.

Brent rubs his temples in frustration. "No, I didn't." Brent said getting annoyed.

"Brent, I know you were in my car for this week. What happened?" Adam asked again.

Brent chuckles. "I told you, Chris was in it. You don't question him because he's your actual son, and he's bringing good money in. Chris has been driving, and he's been putting it on me. I'm never in your car." Brent said rolling his eyes.

"You think your so tough because you have people around you? Wait until you get home." Adam spits.

"He's not going home. He's staying with me." Arizona said crossing her arms. "Now unless you want me to call the police, you better get out of here." Arizona said angrily.

"This isn't over." Adam said walking out of the shop.

Brent looks over at Arizona. "Thanks, I appreciate that." Brent said with a smile.

"I meant what I said. You're staying at mine. We're going over to your house first thing in the morning to get your stuff. You're not staying with them." Arizona said sternly.

"Okay. That's fine." Brent said with a nod.

"I got to go, babe. I'll see you later. I'll call you tonight." Callie said kissing her cheek.

"Okay. Sorry you had to see that." Arizona said sadly.

"It's okay. I got to get back to the hospital before Chief Webber gets upset. See you guys." Callie waves heading outside to go back to the hospital.

"She's hot." Brent said with smirk.

Arizona nudges him. "She's mine. Let's go eat." Arizona pulls Brent to the back, while Doug and Jackson take care of the people in the front.

…..

At home with Arizona

Arizona walks into her place with Brent and Denver. Denver fell asleep in the car. Brent closes the door gently, so he won't wake Denver up.

"Thanks Arizona. I'll help out best way I can." Brent said taking his shoes off and puts them in the corner.

"No problem. You have some clothes for tonight?" Arizona asked laying Denver down on the couch.

Brent nods. "Yeah. Can I go shower?" Brent asked.

"Brent, you don't have to be scared around me. The rags and towels are in the closet over there. You're free to have privileges around here." Arizona pats his back.

"Thanks. It won't take me long." Brent goes to the closet and grabs him a towel and rag. He heads into the bathroom to take a shower.

Arizona looks over at her daughter and sighs. "My girl." Arizona smiles.

Arizona opens the fridge and sees a note.

"If I see this fridge almost empty again, I'm kicking your ass. Love mom." Arizona reads the note as she chuckles. "Thanks mom." Arizona rolls her eyes.

Arizona starts to make some food for the three of them. Brent walks out of the bathroom and sees Arizona cooking.

"You cook?" Brent asked raising a brow.

Arizona turns to look at him. "Shut up." Arizona laughs.

"You need help?" Brent asked nicely. "I figured I could help." Brent said.

"Hey, you relax. Go watch TV. I got this." Arizona winks at him.

"Okay, well just let me know if you need help." Brent goes to sit down on the other side of the couch. He turns the TV on and sees that Arizona has STAR recorded.

"Man, I love this show." Brent smiles clicking on the program.

"What show?" Arizona asked.

"Star. Man, this show is better than Empire. I love Miss Bruce." Brent said with a smile.

"Me too." Arizona nods her head as the into comes on.

I bring me, get my, bout my, go hard Looking for another like me (Boy Stop) I bring me, whose love is the tightest whose kiss is the nicest (me) Whose touch is the rightest (me) And I bring, I bring, I bring, I bring me" Brent and Arizona sing together.

Brent pauses it. "Wow, sorry about being mean, Arizona." Brent said from the couch.

"It's all good. I understand." Arizona said handing Brent a plate.

"Ready for this episode?" Brent asked raising a brow.

Arizona nods. "You know they cancelled the show, right?" Arizona looks over at him.

"Don't get me started. I'm still pissed." Brent grumbles pressing play on the DVR.

Arizona chuckles. "I am too." Arizona said eating her food as she and Brent watch the last episode of star together. Of course, Denver is still sleep.
