Erica didn't know what to think
Erica didn't know what to think. She had wanted this. Oh how she had wanted this, but never in a million years did she think it would actually happen. She had taken it pretty hard when she found out about Callie and Sloan, but tried her hardest to keep her bout of jealousy under wraps. The kiss in the elevator was her way of gauging Callie's feelings. Well that and to get under Sloan's skin. She thought that she had a good read—Callie was speechless after, but she also saw fear in her eyes, which meant this was new to her.
It wasn't new to Erica though. She already had her 'coming out' affair. Granted no one at Seattle Grace new that, but she had and it tore her apart when it ended. It seems that is the way first loves are suppose to go. Your first love is meant to break your heart. It makes you strong. It makes you able to take on whatever life throws at you. It makes you realize the hard way that no one has ever really died from a broken heart, well at least not in the philosophical way, and no matter how painful it might be there is light at the end of the tunnel. Callie was Erica's light.
Snapping out of this line of thinking, Erica found herself staring at her locker. She had no idea how or when she got there she just knew she was there.
"I need my keys," she said aloud.
Oh shit!! Realizing what she had said to Callie she began to chastise herself. She must be so confused right now. How could I be so stupid?! I am an intelligent woman and the best I could come up with was 'I need my keys'!! Way to go Hahn. She is never going to talk to you again.
As she didn't make friends easy, Callie had quickly made her way up the speed dial food chain. Pulling out her cell phone, Erica pressed number two and waited for the phone on the other end to ring.
No answer. Matter of fact it rang once and went to voice mail. Callie had sent her call to voice mail.
"Serves me right," she muttered while Callie's greeting played in her ear.
After the tone Erica said the only words she could, "Don't change your mind."
