15 years ago today, Facebook just keeps reminding how old I am. My thought process can't exceed any farther after I see her name.

April 1st, 2001

You became friends with Calliope Torres.

"Calliope…" I repeat over and over in my head. Oh, how long has it been since I thought of first girl to ever steal and crumble my heart. Again my thought process is cut off as a tiny body thrashes themself right into my legs almost knocking me over, "Mommy!" Addy says, as she squeezes my legs.

Kneeling, I become eye level with my mini me. "Hey baby, how was pre-school?" Addy throws her arms around my neck as she jumps around yelling, "I love school, and my friends, and my teacher, and even the principals even though they supposed to be mean" I laugh at her antics. "Well, mommy will remember this moment when your older" I tell her as I laugh. "You silly, mommy." She tells me. "Where's daddy?" I start to wonder where my husband must be. "You didn't run away from him again, just to find me did you?" I ask Addy while giving her the pointed glare. "Sorry, Mommy. I just missed you." "I know, pumpkin but you must tell daddy where you are going, he probably thinks someone came and stole you!" I tell her as I pull out my phone sending a message to Luke letting him know our daughter is safe with me, and I immediately get a reply "Oh, thank God. I should've known, I've been looking all over my ward for her."

My phone dings again to alert me of a new notification. My message bubble expands as I read my new Facebook message.

"Arizona Robbins,

Damn I can't believe it was 15 years ago, that I first laid eyes on you. You are as beautiful and as sexy as ever, How are you? I see you're married. No surprise there, you always were such traditional saint mary. Anyways, I just wanted to say, I'm glad you look so successful and happy, you deserve every bit of it. Now you know exactly why I never let you settle for me. You still have the most beautiful eyes. Oh, and Arizona, I always knew you would make extraordinary looking children. And regardless, of my jealousy your husband is quite handsome, too. I think of you, often and miss you even more.

All my love,

Your Callie Cat.

P.S. I bet you would still look amazing in my leather jacket. xoxo."

I can't explain the ache in my stomach, after reading this. I always did have such a soft spot for Calliope. My mind starts to take me back to where it all started…

15 years ago…

Lying in bed, on a Saturday night, I continuously scrolled through my twitter feed. Reading every tweet, when my eyes landed on a picture of the most beautiful girl. She was tanned and had jet black hair, pinned up top of her head, and she sat criss-crossed on a bed. She was wearing one of those incredibly sexy shirts, that hung off her right shoulder and leggings that clinged to her thighs and calf muscles. She just looked so natural and at ease.

It was like an instant attraction, I wanted to talk to her, right off the bat. I started scrolling through her tweets, reading them, learning about her. And as nervous as I was without even knowing this beautiful creature, I knew I had to talk to her. Something about her, struck my heart like a lighting bolt. And so thats what I did, I messaged her.

"Hey."

"Hi."

You're beautiful." Shit Arizona, why would you send that, oh gosh.

"Im sorry, I shouldn't have said that.." Here goes my word vomit.

"You're cheesy ;)" She replied with a wink face.

My cheeks reddened, even though I was alone in my bedroom.

"Lets get to know each other." She messaged me again.

And again. "What is your name, since you just have an A on your profile."

"Arizona, like the battleship not the state. What's your's?

"Well Arizona, like a battleship, I'm Callie or Calliope, I guess. Lol"

"You guess? Do you not know your name or..haha"

"Very funny, Battleship. Of course, I know my name. But I only let important people call me Calliope."

"Well, I'm pretty important, Calliope!"

She replied with, "Where are you from, Battleship?"

"Born and raised in Beckley, West Virginia. Just a small town girl myself. Lol. What about you?"

"Oh so far from you, Isla Verde, Puerto Rico."

"Should of known. Latinas are always the hottest!" Getting brave there, Arizona.

"Such a sweet talker."

"Too bad, I'm serious."

"Send me a picture of you." She replied.

Dammit, I looked like shit! Texting me little sister I said "Come to my room now!"

Moments later Riley burst though my bedroom door. Even though she was my little sister, she was also my best friend, and the only person in the world I felt like I could trust. Riley and I had been through so much in our short lives, and I could always count on her.

"Take a picture with me!" I said to her. I didn't want the focus to all be on me, what if she didn't think I was cute? Snapping the picture of us with matching smiles I sent the picture direct to Calliope. Making sure I told her i was the one on the right.

"Your cheeks are so cute, I just want to squeeze them!" she said. Not the response I was looking for but at least I got an answer.

"Well, thank you" I replied starting to blush.

"What are you doing?" Riley asked me.

"Oh, nothing just talking to someone from twitter."

"Ooooh, a boy?" She said giggling.

I had never spoke about my attraction to some girls, even though most people thought it. It wasn't like I daydreamed about girls constantly, honestly I'm pretty sure I'm different than every one of my friends. They are all having sex and getting boyfriends and I hate people, I don't have much of a sexual attraction to anyone. Like I just don't have much of an interest in being with anyone, I mean what is the point, everyone leaves?

"Not a boy, just a friend."

"What your girlfriend on there! That you stalk!" She replied laughing.

"NO! I don't stalk her, I mean i noticed her before. I just like her okay."

"Im just kidding Z! Don't get all serious on me." Riley told me with an apologetic look.

I knew she was joking, I'm just so tired of being different from her and Nelly. Nelly; my oldest sister, was always so beautiful and skinny, as well as Riley. I had struggled with weight my entire life. Not that I was huge, I was just bigger than normal girls my age. I wasn't as girly and I had never fit in like Nelly and Riley had, and still don't.

My phone chirped alerted me of my new notifications.

Callie: "Where'd you go?"

"I'm still here, just chatting with my little sister, Riley."

"Nice, how old are you, battleship?

"I'm 16, you?"

"14"

"Just a youngin!"

"If you say so.."

"I know so. So, Miss. Latina, do you ever think you will visit the states?"

"I would love to, I cannot wait to live in New York City."

"City girl, huh?"

"I guess you could say that, Miss. West Virginia… haha"

"How funny are you, Calliope?"

The talking and flirting continued until I only had about two hours to sleep before church. As I told Calliope goodnight, I hoped we would talk again.

What I didn't know was that she would take my heart and run with it..
