Come What May

Chapter 1 Me, you, us, and them

It was her first day back home in ten months, all she wanted to do was to come home and relax in the arms of her lover. After two tours in the most dangerous place in the world all you really want is to be with those that mean the most to you. Callie walked into their apartment to be greeted by packed boxes and bags, instead the happy sounds of a happy girlfriend. The further she walked into the apartment she noticed things where missing, her girlfriends' things to be specific. A little confused Callie walked to the back of the apartment to the bedroom she shared with her girlfriend for find more boxes sitting on their bed and a very busy looking filling those boxes. Feeling temper rise Callie took a deep breath, then cleared her throat to get her girlfriends' attention, who ha yet to acknowledge her presence. Brown locked with blue and Callie knew that it wasn't going to be welcome home she had hoped it would be.

Three hours later...

She found herself questioning all that she knew. The one person that she thought would never hurt her was the same person that broke her heart into a million pieces. Callie could still hear the last words spoken to her for her lover, "Who wants to be in a relationship by themselves." She knew she was right, she knew that she wasn't putting her all into their relationship, but she was fighting a war dammit, she needed to focus on saving the lives of the brave men and women who fought for us. She knew everything that Erica said was fair, but there was nothing Callie could do about it. She felt the way she felt and that wasn't going to change. Callie was actually surprised that they lasted as long as they did, really four years is a long time to not say I love you. Erica deserved better than that, she needed more, but Callie couldn't and wouldn't force herself to say something she wasn't ready to say, something that she didn't feel. She knew that not fighting for her relationship would hurt Erica, but it was long past the time to end it, to set them both free.

Meanwhile in Seattle…

"Please, you can't do this," Arizona cried. It was the anniversary of her father's death, she was emotional, and on top of it all her terrible girlfriend was making the day much worst.

"I can and I am. I don't need this. This is too much. It's been four years Arizona. I get it your dad died and it's sad, but eventually you have to get up off the floor and start living your life again." Each word was like a knife to the heart. How did Lauren expect her to react. Besides her brother, Arizona's father was her best friend. He was the one person that knew all her secrets and never judged her for it. He was the first person she told about her first heart break. She looked up to her father. He was brave, honorable, loyal, honest, passionate, and strong. He taught her to love, to love with her entire being, and to protect the things and the people that she loved. Why could Lauren understand that this was going to be difficult for her.

This year was a lot better that the year before, where she had wept for a week straight. The year before that she had to take leave from the hospital to fly back home because she was afraid to leave her mother home by herself. The dad it happened was the hardest day of her life. Arizona received a phone call at two o'clock in the morning informing her that her father had died in surgery. The man that she believe to have the strongest heart had died because of the strain the surgery placed on it. Her mother was inconsolable, her brother did find out till a week later because of a mission that he was on overseas, and Arizona was just pissed. He father had risked his life for his country and family only to killed by a stray bullet. Some idiot thought that it would be okay for leave his gun out and his son chose to show it off to his friends not knowing it was loaded. It's moment like that that change your life forever, and though Arizona felt bad for the kid, who was sentence to time in juvey, she could help but feel hatred towards the entire family.

Lauren knew all of this. She heard the hate, the pain, and the sadness in Arizona's voice, but she wanted the old Arizona back. The Arizona that wore shoes with wheels on them and play games with the kids in her ward everyday. Now there was something missing in Arizona's smile. Her eyes didn't light up the way they use too. Lauren could take this half a person anymore. In their seven year relationship she had never seen Arizona like this. When bad things happened in the past Arizona would just brush it off because it was a part of life, bad things happen. This person was not her Arizona and she could take it anymore, it had to end.

With Lauren stating the last of what she felt, she began to pack her things, leaving behind anything that reminded her of the life she shared with Lauren, and within a few hours Lauren was out the front door without a second glance back.
