"What's changed?" I ask incredulously.
"I've stopped seeing Leah" She responded.
"Oh so you've stopped seeing her and thought, I might try get back together with Callie?" I roll my eyes at her behaviour.
"I… I don't know what I thought" she stuttered.
"Last I heard is that I gave you a chance to be with me and you chose her" I say pointedly.
"I know and it was a mistake" She sighed.
"And you realise this after what once…" she looks away "Twice…" still no eye contact "ten plus times?" That got the reaction. "You slept with her ten plus times? Tell me during which time did you realise it was a mistake" I sass.
"Look I want you"
"Now you do Arizona. Have you even told her? All I see is that you are still friends and I know you were still sleeping with her this week." Her cheeks redden, as she looks shamefully away. "So tell me what's different now?"
"I… I…" she is lost for words.
"You don't know what you want."
"I want you!" She exclaimed.
"Now you do!" I say exasperated. "You've done nothing to show you want me. You… you have hurt me more than I could believe possibly and I'm to what forgive you instantly?"
"No, I still need to work on myself. I know what I've done and I'm not saying get back together but I'm not going to see or sleep with anyone until I sort myself out. I'm fighting for us and for you now."
"I can't trust you. You hurt me so much that I just don't believe you. Even when we were still together, you didn't hold me the same or show me love. Ok, I wasn't the best person and I know that you changed after the crash but still I felt unloved and under-appreciated."
"I know what I did to you but I'm going to change" she pushes.
"I'm happy, I miss you but I'm happy now. I'm freer, I no longer feel controlled. I don't know if I can let you back in. You just don't want to be alone, Arizona but you need time alone and I'm enjoying my life. Maybe once you get help and find yourself then we can see but I'm not promising anything because you destroyed my trust in you. You can't do that again."
"I know but I will wait for you and I am going to prove myself. Trust me when I say I'm taking this time to be alone and I know you won't forgive me instantly but I'm going to prove my love." She stressed.
"Everything you have done has only proven you don't love me. We've been together for 5 years and you gave that all up for someone else. You had your chances." I say wiping the tears from my eyes, hurt in my voice. "I don't know what I did but I loved you with everything, I couldn't lose you."
"I know I see that now and I'm getting help ok and maybe down the line I can be the person you need me to be."
"That may be true but I do need to know why? I need answers to these questions. Also, how do I know you've cut of all ties with her? Why was she more to you than me? You've showered her gifts and suddenly you stop seeing her, what's changed? Did you not have enough sex with her?" I spit. "I respect myself too much now just to let you back in. I'm not ready but you should take this time and really think and get the help you need, find what fulfils you in life, not what person can keep you occupied. I'll continue with my life and maybe the roads will lead us back but you need this time, alone." I stressed.
"I promise, Callie I'm not screwing this up. I'm taking this time too and I'm not going to just pathetically latch onto someone. I'm getting help, ok? I'm not going to hurt you but I understand you still want space, I do too because we need to do this right."
"I just can't talk with you right now. I need to be strong."
A/N: Just a small follow up. I'm feeling like writing so hoping SB, SB will be updated soon :)
