Chapter 2
"Even if your strong, even if your not, every breathe you breathe, I'll be there for you."
Callie's POV
I felt like my brother was hiding something big from me. I mean he doesn't have to tell me who he is with all the time but I just had bad feeling this time. My phone buzzed, it was Arizona texting me.
Hey Cal, what are you up to? : )
Nothing much, just laying down in bed. What about you?
Same, I've been soo tired lately. But I miss you 3
I miss you too. When we going to hang out?
Soon, I promise. Anyways I'm going to pass out. See you at work tomorrow. Have a good night 3
Thanks, you too Ari 3
I got up early the next morning so I could get ready for work. When I got there, Arizona was already at her desk preoccupied with her cell phone at the moment. I quickly went to my desk which was behind hers and put my stuff down.
"Morning to you too Ari." I said as I went to stand next to her at her desk.
"Calliope, hey sorry I didn't see you." she looked up at my with a sad smile on her face.
She got up and wrapped her arms around my neck to hug me. She always loved hugging me. I put my arms around her waist and inhaled her strawberry scent. I loved it when she called me Calliope, she was the only one who could.
"What wrong? Why the smug face?" I asked as she pulled away.
"Nothing…..I just…forget about it, I'm just really tired."
"Arizona, we haven't hung out for like a week because you were going home early to sleep. And you're still not getting enough sleep?"
"Callie I haven't been going home to sleep. I've actually been seeing someone. I know I lied to you but I never meant to. I just didn't want to tell you anything until I knew it was something for real. But I'm a idiot. You're not mad, are you?" she rambled.
"You could have just told me. I don't know why you would keep something like that from me, you never have."
I was pissed, but can you blame me? She lied to me this whole week. But the worst part of all of this is that she's seeing someone. How could I hold myself back from beating the crap out of the guy who would break her heart? I went to go back to my desk, but she grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her into a hug.
"I'm so sorry Calliope. I hated lying to you, I never have but I need you. Please just…..be my wonderful and supportive best friend that I know you are."
I hated being mad at her, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I pulled away from our embrace slightly. I gave her a small smile letting her know that I was ready to listen.
"Tell me what he did that you're already sad."
"I think he's afraid of commitment. I mean he doesn't want anyone to know about us."
"Why? What is his problem? Do I know this guy?"
"Well, Callie promise me you won't freak when I tell you who he is? Because I don't want to keep anything from you anymore."
"Why would I freak Arizona? Don't tell me it's Mark Sloan! You know he sleeps around, Arizona. Come on are you…"
"No it's not Sloan! Never!" she said cutting me off.
"Then who is it?"
"Chris" she whispered.
"Chris…you mean….oh my god! My brother!" I looked at her shocked.
"Yes but Callie listen. Just let me explain…"
"Girls, please keep your voices down and get back to work." she was interrupted.
It was our boss Jo, she was cool but when it was time to work she wanted us to be focused. I was definitely not focused now. My brother! Come on, how could they do this to me? I went back to my desk.
"Calliope wait! You're not going to talk to me?"
She got up for her cubicle to face my cubicle.
"No not today."
I looked up at her and saw her eyes get watery.
"Just give me some time. And don't worry I won't tell my brother anything."
"Ok, but please don't be mad at me for too long."
I hadn't talk to Arizona for the rest of the day. I just came straight home. Maybe if I wasn't in love with her than I wouldn't be this pissed. I would probably be happy for them. But I wasn't happy for them and I would never be happy for them. But if he makes her happy than I should let her be happy, right? I don't how much more I can take. My thoughts were interrupted by my mom.
" Mija, are you coming down for dinner?"
"No Mama, I'm not hungry."
"You have to come down. We have a guest."
"Who?"
"Your brothers new girlfriend." she smiled.
Oh my god, Arizona. I thought they were keeping it a secret. But my mom didn't say anything, she would've mentioned it was Arizona.
"Ok I'll be down in a minute."
I went into the dining area and saw my brother, father, mother and a girl with blonde hair. But it wasn't Arizona, it was someone else.
"Hey sis, I want you to meet someone." my brother looked up at me.
My brother and his new girlfriend apparently got up from the table and I slowly walked towards them trying to get rid of my shocked expression.
"This is Irene, the girl I've been seeing."
"Hi Calliope, it's so nice to meet you. Your family has told me a lot about you." she held out her hand.
"It's Callie. Nice to meet you too" I said as I took her hand to shake.
I sat down on the table next to my mother.
"Mija, isn't she wonderful. She works at our company. I introduced her to your brother and I guess they it off" my dad said looking at me with a huge smile.
"Yeah, it's good to hear" I gave her a small smile.
What the hell is going on? Why was my brother with someone else? I need to talk to her.
"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."
I quickly ran up stairs to my room. I grabbed my cell phone and saw there was a text from her.
Callie, I need you. Please talk to me : (
I had to call her, she picked up.
"Callie, I'm so glad you called."
It sounded like she was crying.
"Arizona, are you crying?"
"I need you to be honest with me. Is there something wrong with me? What is it that makes guys want to hurt me so much?"
"Ari, there is nothing wrong with you. You're perfect, they're the idiots."
"I'm sure you know by now that your brother is with some other chick. I'm such an idiot."
"No you're not, he's the idiot. And I'm about to go downstairs and humiliate him in front of his stupid new girlfriend!"
"No you can't! Just calm down. She's there right now?"
"Yeah she's here. I just met her. As soon as I saw that it wasn't you. I knew I had to call you."
"Is she pretty?"
"She's not as pretty as you Arizona."
"You're saying that because you're my friend."
Friend! I'm saying that because I love you!
"I mean it Arizona you are. Anyways I don't hang out with ugly girls, you know that."
I was trying to lighten the mood. She started to laugh.
"What can I do for you Ari?"
"I need you, stay over tonight?"
"I'll be right over."
Arizona lived with her Aunt since her father was in the military they moved around a lot. So when they moved to Miami when she was twelve we met and instantly became friends. When they had to leave again, she didn't want to go so her aunt who lives in Miami told her dad she could live with her, she was happy. And of course I was happy to. I don't know what I would have doe without Arizona in my life. We decided we would go to the same college and medical school and get a place together when we start medical school. I knocked on the door and her Aunt opened it.
"Callie, hey honey how you been?" she said as she hugged me.
"I'm good thanks. Arizona's in her room right?"
"Yeah" she smiled knowingly.
I went straight to her room. She was lying down facing the wall with her back towards me. I slowly walked over to her bed and took off my shoes. I went right behind her and spooned her. She slowly shook and turned around with my arms still around her waist.
"Hey." she whispered.
"How you feeling?" her eyes were blood shot.
"Heartbroken."
"It's going to be ok Ari."
"Promise me you'll always be there no matter how stupid I act. Just promise me."
"I promise you Ari, I'll be there no matter what."
I put my forehead against hers and she smiled. She's my everything.
