Chapter 1 – Best friends?
A/N: Okay so I love Grey's Anatomy and I love reading fan fiction where the two are teenagers so I thought I'd give it ago. In this story Callie, Arizona and most of their friends are 16 and in high school. Bit of background for you, Arizona and Callie have been best friends since they were in kindergarten, they also have their own separate friendships groups too, they sometimes all hang together but usually if they are together they are alone because they run in different circles.
I don't own Grey's =(
"Calliope? Arizona's here!"
"Okay mom. Arizona! Get your butt up here!" Callie shouted down from her room.
She quickly sprung from her bed, racing to her full length mirror to scrutinize her appearance before her best friend made it to her room. One last quick look and she ran back to her bed quickly lying down, pretending to be just relaxing when actually she was nervous about seeing Arizona Robbins today.
Callie had always thought her best friend was pretty, beautiful even, but lately she'd seemed to be admiring her beauty from a completely different perspective. And it scared the crap out of her. I guess you could say it started around a two months ago when Arizona had finally caught up and turned 16, they had both started to act more 'grown up' for lack of a better word. And it didn't go unnoticed to the teenage Latina that the blonde was really growing in to her looks. She'd caught herself staring a number of times and had to consciously remind herself to breath every time Arizona smiled her way. Oh those dimples.
Quickly pulling herself from her thoughts she tried to act casual, grabbing her biology textbook to make it look more authentic.
"Calliope Torres? Studying on a Saturday? Who are you and what have you done with my best friend?" Arizona joked as she breezed into Callie's room before joining her on her queen sized bed.
"Funny aren't you?" Callie quipped. "I thought you were spending the day with Teddy and the others today." She was more than happy to spend time with the blonde but lately it seemed as though the blonde had been avoiding her and choosing to spend her Saturdays with her other friends.
"I was planning to." Arizona replied, at the crestfallen look she knew she shouldn't have said that.
"So what? I'm your last resort? Thanks." Hurt burning in her tone.
"Calliope you know that's not true at all." Arizona desperately wanted to explain why she hadn't been spending so much time with Callie but she couldn't, she didn't want her best friend to hate her.
"Is it? You've barely spoken to me since we went to Christina's house party a few weeks ago." Callie spat. That's when it hit the raven haired girl in the face. That's the night we danced, close, very close, like grinding each other close. Fuck! She knows and she's disgusted.
"Of course it's not true! You're my best friend. I've just been busy." Arizona lied, she thought back to that night, how she had started to realise how much she liked dancing so closely to the blonde, closer than was considered friendly, she had tried to distance herself, to see if the feelings went away but now, sitting in the same room as the beautiful dark haired girl she realised they hadn't.
"To busy to spend time with me?" That hurt Callie more than she would like to admit, "We always make time for each other Arizona. Or at least I do."
"Look can we not fight? Please Calliope? I'm here now and I want to spend time with my best friend." Arizona pleaded.
"Whatever. You want to watch a movie or something?" Callie didn't want to fight either. She wanted to forget about the last few minutes, heck the few weeks and go back to the way things were before.
"Sure." Arizona smiled, she knew things weren't sorted but they could wait, she just wanted to hang out with Callie, she hated that things seemed awkward between them now. She hated that it was her fault; she had been the one avoiding the Latina. Callie only seemed to be mad about the fact that they hadn't spent time together. For just a second she let herself hope that maybe Callie had felt the sparks that she had that night that they had danced for hours, bodies rubbing against one another so deliciously.
Callie almost swooned at the dimpled smile Arizona threw at her but schooled her features to read nonchalance.
"How about sisterhood of the travelling pants?" Callie knew it was one of Arizona's favourites other than her beloved Disney movies. "We haven't watched that one in a while?"
And that's when Arizona knew that Callie was really mad at her she was just hurt, Callie only chose those types of films to make Arizona happy. Her friends caring thoughts touched her.
"I'd like that." She smiled adorably at the exotic teen, making her breath catch in her throat. She's your best friend Callie get a grip. You like boys, hot boys. Specifically Mark. The guy you've been crushing on since the 5th grade, ring a bell? And even if you were into girls Arizona isn't is she! But wait . . . she's never had a boyfriend. Ever! That has to mean something right?
Callie stopped her thoughts from going too far, it would be crazy to contemplate that Arizona might feel a smidge of the confusing things she was feeling for the teen laying beside her, settling gin to watch the film.
XoxoxoxoxoxoxoX
At the end of the movie, after all the friendship and mushy stuff that went down in the movie Arizona literally couldn't take it anymore, she turned to Callie intent on righting things between them. She couldn't risk losing her best friend
"Calliope?" Her voice came out an unintended whisper.
"Yeah?" Callie turned so that she was also on her side facing the blonde.
"You know I'm sorry right?" she reached out to push a raven curl from her friends chocolate eyes, "I didn't mean to hurt you. I just had some stuff to sort out in my head." She didn't want to elaborate; sure her feelings wouldn't be reciprocated or even well received. She knew that Callie's family were very Christian so she had never confided in her friend her biggest secret, that she was gay. All her friends knew, and most of Callie's too but they would never tell her for the same reasons she was reluctant to. They wouldn't want the friends to fall out over something as trivial as Arizona's sexual orientation so they kept quit, for both their friends sakes.
"I could help, you always tell me everything. We have no secrets." Callie silently added except the fact that I think I've fallen in love with you.
