Not letting go
Calliope Torres, Arizona Robbins
Grey's Anatomy
Chapter three
The question was still lingering in the room and Arizona still didn't know what to say she had a thousand answers in her head but she needed to choose the right one. "Arizona are you still awake?" Arizona thought for a second and then thought about pretending to be asleep. Callie knew what Arizona was like and she knew when Arizona was worried about something she would ignore her and pretend to be asleep.
Callie got up off the bed "Arizona I know when you pretending to be asleep what's going on just talk to me please?" Busted Arizona now had to think and think fast. Callie Sniggered "Fine don't talk to me then You pretending to sleep and ignoring me so I will just leave. Callie made her way to the door when she heard a sigh and a tiny noise come from Arizona "You asked me why I didn't make an effort to become you friend and be there for you and I replied but you were to pissed and angry so I left I would rather forget about it to be honest callie it isn't going to change anything" Callie was confused Change anything what was she going on about? "I would rather you tell me I am sorry for the way I was when you come over but I still don't understand the reason why you came round" The can of worms were now about to be opened.
"April told me that Penny left and got transferred and you said it was none of my business" Callie butted in with a snappy remark "Well that part is true my new Realisionship are none of your concern why would I come running to you about penny? You have basically ignored me for the whole time I was dating Penny" Arizona wished she had never entered the room "If you let me get a word in and stop shouting at me then I would explain you asked me a question let me answer it for god sake" Callie huffed and sat back down. " I didn't plan on ignoring you on purpose Callie and It is not about me not been your friend I just left you to it you said you was happy and you didn't hold back on telling everyone it was the happiest you had ever been. I tried with Penny and made a complete fool out of myself I was so drunk at Meredith's dinner party because I thought I would ease me into meeting her but it didn't I got drunker. See the thing is Callie I am still madly in love with you and it was killing me inside to see that you moved on with someone that made you happier than I have ever done in the years we were together, I remember seeing that smile that I missed the one you always gave to me so I just got drunk and decide to leave you to it" Arizona saw the look on Callie's face the look of shock she had revealed way too much. Arizona grabbed her scrub coat and darted out of the room.
Callie stood there with tears in her eyes Arizona still loved me? How could she still be in love with someone that left her in a room and started dating another woman and had no idea how Arizona felt about everything. She needed to sort her head out and think of her next move Arizona doesn't have the right to just bail again. Callie went to the bathroom and washed her face and made herself look professional she couldn't walk out with mascara all down her face. When callie came back into the room she was surprised to see Meredith sat there she could not be dealing with this right now "Meredith I have had a shit day and all I want to do is go home and curl into a ball and forget today can we do this another time?" "I know your day has been shit I have just seen everything from over there you want to go for a cheeseburger and Tequila?" Callie smiled she remembered the Cheeseburger nights they were kind of fun and she missed them. "That sounds amazing right now and perfect because my shift has just ended" "Great shall we meet at Joes in say 20 mins?" "perfect see you there" Meredith made her way out of the room and Callie made her way to get changed.
Arizona was pissed off with herself why didn't she just leave it and not answer the fricking question she was more pissed off with herself for bailing but she felt as though the room was closing in on her so she need to get out and she needed to find a rock to hide underneath the worst thing she had ever experienced worse than when callie left her in the room on her own worse than meeting Penny "pretty perfect penny" she should have never entered the room she should have left it and said nothing .Arizona made her way to the crèche to get Sofia and spend some well-deserved time with her daughter. As Arizona made her way to get sofia she bumps into April "Hey I finish in five want to go home together?" "Yeah sure we can stop by the store and grab some wine I have had the worst day ever" "Sounds like a plan" Arizona and April picked up sofia and made their way home.
Callie meet Meredith at Joe's and they were already on their third shot "She told me she still loves me and I felt like a dick because I didn't realise and started a Realisionship with penny and didn't even notice she was upset or hurt I mean what kind of person does that make me?" "you weren't to know Callie Arizona is a really hidden person her friends didn't even realise until she was drunk at my party and was overly nice to penny I mean she did embarrass herself with what she was saying but we thought she was humouring her"
Callie took another shot "What was she saying was it when I was on call?" Meredith downed her shot "There was one point where she said if you didn't hurry back she would take her home I think she said something like Find a penny pick it up, and that she us to call you Calliope because penny was called Penelope" Callie burst out laughing she knew that Arizona was really funny when she was drunk and she loved that side of her. Meredith looked at Callie and started laughing herself callie was nearly pissing herself. "I've really missed these chats between us I'm sorry we feel out" Callie stopped laughing and rubbed Meredith's hand "Its ok we should never make someone came between us again we need to promise that? I never knew that penny was working in the other hospital" "I know that now let's move on and be friends again we need more cheeseburgers and Tequila nights" Callie smiled "Let's make a deal and have on at least twice a week?" "Deal" they raised a glass and carried on laughing
Arizona bathed and put sofia to bed they had a pizza night and a mini dance party which made Arizona cheer up a little. She made her way to living room were April was standing there with a glass of wine "Spill I want to know every detail I know this is about Callie so spill" Arizona sighed and made her way to couch "Well I told her everything basically my heart exploded all over the room and I said to much got scared and ran out of the room. I told her I loved her and that I made a complete arse of myself in front of Penny at the dinner party" April Laughed "That night was funny the things you come out with when your drunk "Find a penny pick it up" god Arizona you were funny" Arizona Frowned at April "Please try and be serious remember the woman shares the same child as me and I work where she works. OMG I need a new hospital I can't even face her again what have I done" Arizona puts her head in her hands. "Arizona Calm down you don't have to quit your job you need to face up to what you said it will calm down soon".
Callie had just arrived home she was a tad tipsy she was trying to find her keys and she was still laughing at the find a penny thing I was still funny. "Hey Calliope" Callie paused for a second she could feel a smile coming on her face she spans round and was shocked to see penny stood there "You have to be kidding me what the hell could you possibly want? I don't have time for this and I must certainly don't have time for you please just leave and go back to where you popped up from" what was penny expecting she did just up and leave "Please Calliope I'm in love with you and miss you can we at least talk". Callie stood there speechless.
