"Everything is set right?" Callie asked Addison over the phone
"Yes mam, Just let me know when You leave so we can start lighting these candles" Addison says
For the past 2 months Callie has been planning something for her beautiful Blue eyed Girlfriend Arizona. They've been dating a little over a year and she decided it was time to take it to the next step. She already texted Arizona to get ready and dress comfortable and wait for her at their apartment. "Alright I'm leaving the hospital now We should be there in 20 minutes!"
"Alright, Good luck Cal" Addie says before hanging up.
Callie took a deep breath and started walking across the street to their apartment where she knew her blonde would be waiting for her. Taking the stairs to ease the nerves she finally finds herself in front of her door. Unlocking it she notices all the lights turned off "Arizona?" She called. Today is their anniversary and she decided it would be a perfect day to do it.
Turning on the lights she gasped "What the hell" Callie says looking around. Their apartment looked trashed and there was trash everywhere. Walking further in she noticed that all the pictures of her and Arizona was smashed into the floor. "Arizona!" Callie yelled starting to panic. Walking into their bedroom she notices the drawers open, looking into the empty one that used to have her girlfriend's clothes was now gone. "No!" Callie says and sees the flowers she got her wife smashed into the floor glass everywhere.
Going through all the drawers that used to have her girlfriend's clothes tears start to fall, Going back into the kitchen she notices a orange envelope on the island that had 'Callie' Written on it. Noticing the hand writing it was Arizona's. Opening it hoping it would tell her this was just some joke.
What she was not expecting was pictures of her with some other lady at lunch. Underneath it all was a handwritten letter.
Callie,
I don't want nothing to do with you anymore, I thought we was happy? But I guess I wasn't good enough huh? It took 2 people to tell me they seen you with another women.
I'm done Callie, I've been with a cheater once and I will not stand to be with one again. We are over. Don't bother calling or texting me because I already changed my number, If we happen to see each other at work we will only talk for Work purposes.
-Arizona.
Ps. Happy fucking Anniversary
Callie was on the floor by the 1st line sobbing, She didn't understand how this all happened. The lady in the picture isn't what she thought it was. Feeling her phone vibrate she pulled it out quickly thinking it was Arizona but read Addison's name and Forgot about all the plans.
"Hello?" Callie says trying to keep her emotions in check
"What happened to 20 minutes Cal? I'm fucking freezing out here and the candles keep dying!" Addie says
"I'm Sorry" Callie says and letting the tears fall "You..You can go home"
Addison notices the emotion in her best friend's voice "Cal? What's Wrong? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine" Callie says in her best voice "I..Need to go" She says
"No! Callie! What's wro-" Before addison can finish Callie already hung up. "Fuck!" Addie says running to her car and heading straight to her best friend's house. The drive was shorter than usual and she could have cared less if she got caught by the cop. Running up the stairs she knocks a few times on the door pounding "Callie!" No response she shakes the door handle and opens the door.
Looking around she notices the huge mess "CALLIE?" Addison says running into their room. "CAL? Where are you?" Noticing that Callie's and Arizona's luggage was gone she pulled out her phone "Come on come on pick up!"
After few rings it goes to voicemail. Trying again but this time it goes straight to Voicemail indicating that she turned off her phone "DAMMIT!"
Dialing Arizona's Phone "Sorry But this phone is no longer is in service" Addison's eyes widen as she sees the note and Pictures on the counter. "What the Fuck Arizona!"
"I did it" Arizona says walking into teddy's house. After telling teddy what happened and what people were saying her best friend was more than encouraging to tell her that it was time to let
"Good!" Teddy snarls but sees her friends eyes red a puffy from crying "Why are you crying?"
"It's Our Anniversary!" Arizona says breaking down
"Hey Hey" Teddy says holding her "I got you"
"I thought.. She loved me teddy"
"It's her lost Arizona, don't dwell on it, yes you guys been dating for over a year but if she can go out in public and have lunch with another women behind your back she's not worth it!" Teddy says rubbing her best friend's back. "It's her lost Arizona"
Arizona stops crying and nods "You're right teds, It is her lost." She says wiping away her tears "I'm hot and i've got people lining up for me"
"Dam right!" Teddy says and opens the door when they hear the doorbell ring "Just in time!"
Mark come in holding two bottles of tequila "Did you do it?"
"I did it!" Arizona says taking a deep breath
"Good, because now we're going to celebrate the single life!" Mark says with a grin bringing out three shot glasses and moving onto the family room.
Arizona sighs, she felt like the weight from two months of worrying have lifted off her shoulders and now here she was hanging with her two best friends since High school. Taking the now open bottle she takes a big swig of it and cringe at the burning liquid going down her throat "let's get this party started" she yelled as they turned the music on
"Where the fuck are you cal?" Addison asked she's been searching for her best friend over and hour ago. She's checked the hospital, her apartment and thought of any place she could think of. Deciding to go home and change she makes her way there and notice a familiar car.
Running out the car and up the stairs she sighs when she sees the brunette sitting at her door."I've been calling you!" Addison says walking forward and noticing Callie was shaking and sobbing. Opening her door she helps the brunette up and walk her to the couch
Callie held onto her best friends shirt and cried. She didn't know what to do and she felt everything just blow up in her face "I've got you" Addie says rocking them back and forth until she felt the body in her arms go limp. Looking down the brunette had cried herself to sleep "I'm so sorry cal" she says placing a kiss on her friend's forehead before laying her down. Grabbing a blanket she covers her and settle on the other couch in case she woke up.
When Callie woke up it took her a few minutes to register where she was and heard light snores from the other couch. Looking over she sees Addie snuggled into the couch with the blanket around her body. Looking down she remembered what just happened. Tears started to fall and before she knew it was very hard to breath and she felt the world was punishing her.
Addison woke up to the light whimpers and Callie having a panic attack. Running to her side "Deep breaths cal!" Rubbing the small of her back "come on in and out. Just breath Callie" breathing in and out for her to copy she finally notice her breathing "Good girl"
Callie looked up to her best friend and cried. "I..." She couldn't get a full sentence out because she was sobbing uncontrollably
"Shh. Deep breaths sweetie come on" Addie says "I seen your apartment I'm so sorry"
Hearing her best friends words she couldn't take it. She couldn't believe what she came home too. "She didn't even give me a chance to explain" Callie cried
"I know honey, I know" Addison says. She herself was lost for words because Arizona's letter was full of hate. "Breath for me Cal."
They sat there for a few minutes until Callie was finally able to breath normally. Pulling back slightly to look at her best friend "How did this happen?"
"I don't know sweetie, but when things are settled you'll go talk to her alright?" Addison says wiping her best friend's cheek, she's never seen her so broken before. Sure she's been through so much but this was different
"Why does this always happen to me?" Callie says as new tears fall "Maybe I'm not good enough, maybe this is god's way of saying i'm better off being alone" She sobbed
"Hey!" Addison says cupping the brunette's face "Don't say that Cal. You did nothing wrong. You hear me? This isn't your fault and it's not Arizona's either."
"What am I supposed to do now?"
"You are going to sleep the rest of the night and go to work with me in the morning." Addison states the obvious "I'm not leaving you here alone and maybe, maybe not we'll see her but for now you need to sleep"
Callie knew it was useless to even try but she nodded anyway "I'm sorry I came here, I could go get a hotel room"
"Don't be stupid, You're always welcomed here. Come on the guest room has a bed better than this" Leading her best friend to the room she makes sure she's situated before giving her a kiss on the forehead "Good night Cal."
"Night" Callie mumbled barely audible.
The sound of a beeper caused Arizona to wake and sit up regretting that move once she felt dizzy and had to go back down. Grabbing whatever she could find to cover her ears "Turn it off!" She whined.
Teddy got up and checked their pagers "Mark You asshole it's yours!" Kicking his butt off the chair she went to lay down in the open space.
Mark grunted but got up. He quickly got his things and head out the door before yelling "Get your asses up, You're going to be late for work!"
The two ladies grunted and tried to fight off the sunlight. Arizona decided she wasn't going to get anymore sleep so she got up and head for the kitchen. Looking in the medicine cabinet she took out 3 advils and downing it with a cold bottle of water. Last night they manage to drink the two bottles of tequila and sent mark out to buy more. Grabbing 3 more advil and another bottle of water she walked up to her snoring best friend.
"Theadora!" Arizona says "Take this and get your ass in the shower!"
"Not so loud!" Teddy whined but sit up and took the offering. "What time is it?"
Looking at the clock "Almost noon!" Arizona says grateful her shift doesn't start till 1 "Come on let's go grab some food before we have to go in"
Teddy grunted but made her way up the stairs "You can use the guest bathroom" Teddy says waving her hand around.
After 2 very much needed showers the two ladies headed to the deli across from the hospital. They ordered their sandwiches and headed for a table in the corner "So what are you going to do if you see her?" Teddy ask taking a bite of her sandwich
Arizona shrugged "I told her, well wrote her that if we happen to see each other at work, we would only talk about work" Thinking about last night she couldn't believe the women she thought she was going to marry some day would do things like that behind her back. She thought things was great between them not counting the last few months.
"Hey!" Teddy says waving her hand in front of Arizona's face.
"I'm sorry what?"
"I asked how you were feeling before you phased out"
Arizona sighed and looked out the window "I thought we were happy" She said sadly "But I guess all good things come to an end right?"
"Right" Teddy agreed "You'll find someone way better!"
Looking at her phone screen that used to be of Callie which was now a picture of her and Tim it was 12:45 "Come on teds, It's time for work" She sighed getting up and throwing away their trash.
As they walked into the ER they've been stopped by one of the residents Lexie Grey " , we need you in Trauma 1"
"Alright let us run to the lounge to change and we'll be right back!" Teddy yelled as they made their way to the lounge.
"Okay what do we got?" Arizona says snapping on her gloves
"4 year old female fell out of her tree house and landed on her belly, She's complaining of chest pain and stomach pains. She also has obvious fractures in her legs" Lexie says
Arizona nods and they get to work "Page ortho!" Arizona sighs and walks up to the little girl "Hi sweetie, I'm but you can call me Dr.R. Over there is . We're just going to check your body alright?"
The little girl whimpers "It hurts! I want my mommy"
"I know sweetie, but I promise we'll make it all better. What's your name?"
"Callista" The little girl says.
"You okay?" Teddy asks
Arizona takes a moment to look at the little girl, She was definitely a latina, She had brown eyes and curly black hair that looked just like Callie. Hell her name was close to her's also. "Yeah, We are going to have to work together at some point"
A man bursting through the room brought her out of her thoughts "I was paged?" The man known as one of the Attendings of ortho "Ortho!" He says
Teddy looks at Arizona who doesn't say anything so she takes the lead "She has obvious Leg fractures, The scans are over there" She says pointing to the table.
"Arizona?" Teddy called
Arizona shook her head "She has a little inflammation but she's good to go" Looking at Teddy and giving her glare telling her she didn't want to talk about it
"She's okay on my end" Teddy says
"She's going to need surgery" sighs "Will any of you guys will be assisting me?"
"I will" Arizona says and get's the patient ready for transport "I'll meet you in the OR"
For the first half of the day Arizona hadn't seen the Latina anywhere but she knew callie was here because her name was on the OR board. Now she was sitting at a table in the corner with her two best friends "Have you seen her today?" Mark asks taking a bite of his apple
"Mark Seriously?" Teddy asks shaking her head
"What? i'm just asking if she seen her"
"It's fine teddy" Arizona says taking a baby carrot into her mouth "but No mark I haven't seen her and I plan on keeping it that way."
Addison scans the Cafe and set eyes on the blue eyed blond who broke her best friend's heart. Walking up to the table she slams her fist on the table getting their attention.
"Hey Addie" Arizona says calmly. She notices the look in her friend's eyes "Anything I can help you with?"
Addison laughs "Seriously? How dare you do that to callie!" She spits
"Excuse me?" Arizona asks not believing this
"I think you need to leave, there are many other tables" Mark says gesturing to the other empty tables
"I'm going to say this once and you're going to listen" Addison says looking directly into Arizona's eyes ignoring the other two's glares. "What you did was heartless and stupid" Holding her hand up before Arizona could object "She planned this wonderful thing for you and you decided to trash the apartment and leave her a fucking letter? That's it? You didn't even give her a chance to explain! You made the biggest mistake ever robbins." She says walking away before she jumped over the table.
"She's just trying to protect her best friend by lying to you" Mark says
"Yeah Ari. Don't believe her, You know what you heard and Callie never even tried to tell you about it. You did the right thing" Teddy says placing a hand on Arizona's shoulder
Arizona didn't even hear what they said. What if she did something so stupid? Maybe she over reacted? But the photo's said otherwise. Shaking her head "I seen what I seen and I heard what I heard." Arizona states.
"Damm Right!" Mark says.
