Not letting go
Calliope Torres, Arizona Robbins
Grey's Anatomy
Chapter one
Callie was sitting alone at the bar like she had done for the past two nights it was Arizona's week with Sofia so she found nothing else to do to do with her time. She had been arguing with penny since the accusation that Meredith had made at the dinner party about penny working were Derek had died but Penny had failed to mention this the Callie so this resulted in Callie and Meredith Falling out. This night was different callie tried to stick up for penny because Meredith was disinclining her in surgeries and running her ragged Penny told callie to shut up and butt out she didn't need a bodyguard making callie to feel a fool in front of her old friend. This resulted in penny quitting and leaving. Callie was as stunned as when Erica had done it years ago.
Callie was nursing her drink at the bar when she heard a familiar laugh callie carried on sipping her drink she and Arizona weren't "best of friends" they only talked because of Sofia and nothing else callie was friendless and lonely at a bar that was everyone's local.
Arizona and April came into the bar in fits of laughter. Arizona was explaining how Richard Webber was her wingman because he thought he was going to a trivia night. "I'll go order you get us a table" April nodded her head and Arizona made her way to the bar. She was ordering when she noticed Callie sat there. Should she ask her if she wanted a drink? Or even if she was ok? Arizona made the first move "Hey everything ok? You want a drink?" Callie just shook her head."hey yeah I'm fine and I've been here all night so I'll decline I best be going. Where's Sofia?" Callie didn't even look at Arizona or lift her head. Arizona was thinking of the answer she could be funny? Or the truth? Arizona smiled at Callie" Jo and Alex have her they have Zola to give Meredith a break and sofia missed Zola so there having a sleepover" Callie smiled "She does always go on about Zola will do her some good to spend time with her" Arizona laughed "The offer is still there for you to come and join us you don't have to sit here alone" Arizona stroked Callie's hand and walked back over to April. Callie was smiling on the inside but she also had a lump in her throat she was happy to see Arizona still cared.
Callie downed her drink and went to leave when she their wedding song come on she glanced over to Arizona and she was smiling back. Callie could feel a tear rolling down her cheek. "Morning noon or night whenever baby I'm feeling alright, more than a lover baby your my friend and it hurts so much without your lips" Callie closed her eyes and imagined Arizona walking down the aisle in her dress and it been the happiest time of her life this was all a distant memory. Callie grabbed her coat and left.
April was banging on about Jackson and something about a divorce she wasn't really paying attention. "Arizona is everything ok" Arizona was surprised April had noticed "Our wedding song came on that memory has now become a distant sad memory, that was the best day of my life and still is she looked upset" April laughed "How would you feel if your girlfriend shouted well screamed at you in front of your old friend and left you standing there like your first Girlfriend did? Upset is kind of an understatement Arizona" Arizona stared at April with her mouth open "What... when did this happen? And you only tell me this now? God sake April that is important you know" April was stunned Arizona was pissed off "i.i.i overheard Meredith talking to Maggie before I met you, You and Callie aren't in a good place so I didn't think to mention it" Arizona Laughed "I need to go she is the mother of my child of course I care about her April" Arizona grabbed her coat and left.
Callie arrived home to a cold and quite house penny had taken all of her things and posted the key "another relationship I fucked up" Callie muttered while grabbing a glass of the side and poured herself some wine and slumped on the couch. Callie could feel tears running down her face why was nothing going right for her? Callie laided back on the couch when she heard a banging on the front door. Callie dragged herself of the couch and was stunned to see Arizona stood there she unlocked the door "Arizona what you doing here?" Callie was cut off "Why didn't you tell me that penny had left you?" Callie walked herself back towards the couch and sighed "Because it is none of your business, were not even talking Arizona so why would I come running back to you with another Relationship I fucked up? What would I say? She left me in the car park the same that Erica did? No like I said none of your business" Arizona knew Callie had a point they hadn't talked much since Callie started dating "Pretty perfect penny. Arizona sat on the arm of the chair and sighed. "Calliope, please you are the mother to my child and I still care about you. I know we're not talking and all that but I'm still here if you made an effort to even talk to me I would have had the chance to be there" Callie laughed and took a sip of her wine "Don't even bother to Calliope me like were the best of friends. Been the mother to your child means jack shit to you. You have ignored me for months and never made an effort to be my friend or at least talk to me you made out like I was invisible all you want to do now you know penny has left is be "A Good man in the storm" Please leave"
Arizona was now pissed "Why do you think I was so drunk at Merediths party? Why do you think I was friendly to your new girlfriend? I left you too it because you were telling everyone you had been the happiest you had ever been in forever and that hurt me you know. I couldn't be selfish and say Callie I still care come home to me because my life is miserable without you in it and I am still madly in love with you I wasn't going to destroy your happiness for my own. But this drunk pissed of Callie and self-pitting Callie I can walk away from" Arizona stormed out of the house. Callie Shrugged her shoulders and carried on Drinking.
