All characters are NOT my property... etc etc, you get it.
Review if you like it, so I feel motivated to continue.

"What?..." Arizona yells as she follows Callie into her apartment slamming the door behind her. The picture frame on the wall shivered from the violence of her throw. "What don't I get Calliope?" Arizona continued as she slammed her left palm on the counter top and poised her right fist into her hip.
Callie sighed and dropped her head back in exasperation. She threw her purse on the couch and turned to face Arizona. "It's just not that simple!" Callie replied, throwing her palms up. "You… I mean… You had it easy once you told your Dad! Me? They ignore! Like… like… I never existed!"
"I do GET IT Calliope!" Arizona responds, "I get that it's scary. And that it hurts. It wasn't just my Dad… There was the rest of my family… the rest of the world and it wasn't always easy." Arizona purposely lowers her voice in an attempt to deescalate the situation, "I know you're angry. But they're reaching out… You should go."
"Right! So they can tell me at the wedding how it's supposed to be ADAM and EVE and not STEVE! Then they can drag the priest from the altar and form an exorcism!" Callie continued, "You don't know them… they're… they're not inviting me to some stupid wedding to make amends! They're inviting me to make an example out of me! To… to… corner me to do what they want! And… Whose side are you on anyways?!!?..."
"It's not about…" Arizona tries to respond, but Callie was now furiously pacing.
"You don't think I want this to be simple? You think I wanted to be like this??? To meet you?!?!?!..." Callie stopped dead cold in her tracks and slowly faced Arizona, realizing what she had just said. But to her dismay, the look on Arizona's face said it all. "No… no… I didn't mean…" She advanced with her hands out to reach for Arizona .
"That's the part I don't get then? That you regret ever meeting me? Being with me?" Arizona said, the hurt visible in her voice. She shrugs Callie's attempt at touching her away. "It IS simple Calliope…" Arizona says grabbing her purse from the counter and backing up towards the door, never tearing her eyes from Callie's. "It really is…"
Callie stood staring at the door. Even after the ringing in her ears from the closing of the door had stopped. Even after Arizona's smell had completely vanished from the front entrance. And even after she felt her heart break for the woman she had just lost.
