" I dont know you...at all."
I couldn't get her final words out of my head. She knows me better than anyone. But I hurt her, i cheated on her...not once but twice.
and i didnt take her side when she needed me most. I failed Erica, jusr like I failed George. I, Calliope Torres, am a complete failure. God, I miss her so much. I see her at the hospital, but she wont look at me, talk to me or anything. I sleep alone at night, and I cry myself to sleep.
I didnt see it before, but now that ive lost her. I see leaves and oh god their beautiful...shes beautiful.
December 23, 2008.....
Two days before Christmas. I arrive at the hospital alone. I see Erica and our eyes lock, She has so much pain and sadness in those
beautiful blue eyes. I open my mouth to speak to her when Sloan walks up.
"Callie....i have this patient. and i need a consult from you"
Erica breaks away from staring, she shakes her head and walks off. I follow Sloan to his patient and I help him. It seemed like forever, I was there. I cant stand to be around Sloan. Stupid me and testing my dumbass theory. He reminds me of what ive lost. I leave his room and head to the nearest on call room to crash and think. I open the door and Erica is there, alone and crying. I walk over to her and put my hands on her face to wipe away her tears.
I lean my head in towards her. and I pull her close.
"Callie...please dont"
"Erica...let me help you. You can hate me all you want for what I did. But you need me. Baby, please let me help you"
"I dont hate you. I love you and and after what you did. it scares the hell out of me because I love you. And all I think about is touching you, kissing you, holding you and making love to you. But I cant bring myself to let you help me. you hurt me. you broke the glasses" erica said these words as the tears began to fall even more.
"I see leaves.. Erica. Their beautiful. And im ready to be with you completely. you and ONLY you!"
"Dont say that"
"I do and I want to. It took loosing you for me to realize just how much I love you."
"Callie...please dont say that because you think its what I want to hear. Go back to Sloan. He seems to be missing his fuck buddy"
"I stopped seeing Sloan the day that it happened...."
"the day you cheated on me not once but twice!"
"Erica...IM SORRY!!"
"thats not enough anymore Callie"
"Erica...I made a mistake and im sorry. Give me another chance to prove to you that your the one I want to spend eternity with."
"Callie....I cant take another chance on you, your only gonna hurt me"
"I promise to love you, protect you, and cherish you for as long as youll let me."
Callie didnt wait for a response. She leaned in and brought her lips to Ericas. It didnt even take Erica a second for her lips to respond to Callie's. SHe brought her hands to Callie's face as they kissed passionatly.......
