Arizona finished an 18 hour long shift at work and was incredibly tired. She unlocked the door to her house and took off her prosthetic leg first before she kicked off the shoe on her other leg. She laid back on her bed making a relaxing sound but all of a sudden she heard a crinkle which sounded like paper. She turned around and it was a letter, on top of it there was necklace but not any kind of necklace. A necklace Arizona recognised as soon as she laid eyes on it. It was Callie's necklace. The necklace she got her for her their first Valentine's Day that they shared together. Arizona thought why would Callie leave her necklace here? The only thing she could do was read the letter.
Arizona.
Hey. This might be a little weird since you're involved with someone else but I thought I should tell you that I'm leaving town. I will visit occasionally for Sofia but that will be the only reason. I know we promised to be at least friends after the break up but I can't. I just can't. I'm so glad that you're happy now. This is all I have ever wanted but I can't be your friend. I can't talk to you. I can't look at you. I can't handle you being happy without me and I sure as hell can't be your friend. I don't really know what else to say. Well I don't regret breaking us up at the time because it was the right decision and it worked for you. I can tell you truly are happy for yourself and that's amazing Arizona but that doesn't mean I don't think about you every day because I do. I miss waking up to you every morning. I miss your dumb jokes that made me laugh. I miss watching how adorable you are with Sofia. I miss the way you were always looking at me whenever I tried to grab a glimpse at you. I miss being the love of your life. I just miss you. I know it's not fair. I know I shouldn't miss you. I know you're happy without me but it's not like I can turn these feelings off? Do you think I enjoy feeling this way? Do you think I would rather be moving on with my life? Do you think it doesn't kill me seeing you happy with a different woman? You are and will always be the love of my life. I hate that I feel this way. I hate that I have to leave my child because of my undying love for you. I hate that I can't even work at the same place I have worked at for the last ten years because seeing you is killing me. I hate this. I just want this to go away and the only way I know how is to leave town but to be honest that probably won't even work. I don't think there will ever be a day that goes by where I won't think of you. Jess is a wonderful woman and an incredible surgeon and she makes you happy so don't give that up. Don't mess this one up. I know you are happy and as much as it's killing me inside I am so glad that you get to be happy. When I said I want so much for you Arizona I meant it. You deserve to have a fulfilled life with love and happiness. We had our chance and it didn't work. Maybe it could have worked out in the end but there's no going back right? We've had a lot of ups and downs. A lot of downs but I do not regret spending the last five years of my life with you. Whatever happens in the future they were the best years of my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything in a heartbeat. You are a fantastic paediatric surgeon and I am so proud of you for that. You are a wonderful mother and I believe that you will give our daughter the life that she deserves. I have to say this one last time. I love you. I have never loved a human being as much as I love you. I am so in love with you. You have taught me so much and I will always love you. Getting to know you was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Like I said before. I don't want to reset this relationship. I don't want to restart. I wouldn't change a thing. We have had a rough but incredible journey and it might have to end here but you know it and I know it and that's all that matters. You have gave me a life that I will cherish forever. You are my life. I love you Arizona Robbins. I always have and I always will. So yeah this is a goodbye and you will know it as I am leaving my necklace behind with this letter. Please don't look for me. Don't try to find me. Just be happy. You have a great life now and you deserve to be happy. You deserve so much in life and I just want you to get the life that you deserve because I love you so much. Goodbye Arizona.
Calliope.
A tear rushed down Arizona's face when she finished the letter. She couldn't believe that the love of her life is gone? Yeah she's with someone else and she's happy but she always thought somehow, some way she would find her way back to Callie. They always found their way back to each other. With everything they had been through, they always managed to forgive each other and find their way but now everything has changed. Arizona has to move on. Arizona picked up the letter and held Callie's necklace to her chest. She could barely move. She was shaking. Tears kept falling from her face but she slowly put the letter and necklace in a special drawer where everything that Callie has given her is placed. After the breakup she thought about throwing all of this stuff out but she couldn't? How could she throw away the ring Callie bought her after they bought a new house for a fresh start? Or the photo booth photos they took after their first date? Or their wedding video that consisted of laughs? Or the CD Callie made Arizona for her birthday that had her favourite songs sung by her? And most of all the matching necklace that Callie bought her for their first Valentine's Day together. She couldn't throw it away. She couldn't throw any of it away. So she kept it. For the next few hours Arizona read the letter over and over to sink in what was actually happening.
P.s. I know this is short mainly because it's a prologue. Thank you all for reading this. I'm not sure if I should keep going, it depends if I get any reviews or not. So yeah this is set six months after 11x05 where they broke up and Callie can't stand Arizona being happy with someone that isn't her. If I do continue this story, Callie will obviously still be in the story. I will be focusing on both of them. So yeah it would mean a lot if you could tell me what you all think? Thank you.
