I can see my evil plan to get you guys to feel sorry for Mark worked! Muahaha! ;p I actually really dislike Mark on the show so I turned him into someone I do like. I'm happy you guys like his relationship with Arizona too! A lot of people liked reading from Arizona's side of things so I'm going to do both.

This chapter is shorter than my first two because I felt like I was writing a-whole-lot of nothing in those. =P

Thanks for reading and reviewing! I love reading your opinions on every chapter so keep them coming!

As they're both walking out the door, Arizona turns around. "Nice to meet you, Calliope." Then she winks at me, making the butterflies go crazy.

Wait, did she just call me Calliope?

I stand there still stunned and baffled about the feelings I was having toward my boyfriend's Cousin.

His girl Cousin.

Then I feel someone press against me. "Daayumn! Aria says from behind. "She's…gorgeous."

I turn around to face her, trying to act casual. "What were you guys talking about a second ago?"

She walks away from me toward the kitchen, completely ignoring my question and I walk after her. "Do you think she was into me?" She asks and the jealousy starts creeping up on me again.

"Aria, don't be ridiculous."

"Did you see the way she was smiling at me!" We reach the kitchen and pass through a couple of people to reach the fridge.

"Just because you're gay, doesn't mean the rest of the world is." I had let my feelings get the best of me and I instantly regretted my words. She turns around to glare at me. "I'm not gay, Callie!" She says, gritting her teeth. We both look around to make sure no one was hearing our little argument, and gratefully, they were all wrapped up in their own conversations.

"I'm sorry; th-that's not what I meant."

She shakes her head at me, letting me know that I should know better. "I fool around with girls, that's it!" She whispers closely. "They're hot, but it's not like I'm planning to marry or fall in love with one." She turns around, opening the fridge and grabbing herself a pop.

"Either way...I don't think it would be a good idea." I say and she gives me an irritated look.

"Why the hell not?"

I couldn't even come up with a real explanation. I just didn't want her having anything to do with the blonde that elicited so many emotions from me. I decided to use the only card I had.

"Because she's Mark's cousin."

"Annnd?" She said, speaking to me like if I was an idiot.

To be honest, I did sorta feel like an idiot. I didn't know why I was saying the things I was saying. I just had the need to keep her away from Arizona.

"What do you mean 'and'? Isn't that enough?"

"Uum, no. I fail to see the problem here." She says, opening her pop and taking a sip.

"Mark's my boyfrie-"

"Why do you even care, Callie!" Aria snaps, clearly getting annoyed with me.

"Mark's my boyfriend and I'm pretty sure he doesn't want you fooling around with his cousin!" I snap back, finishing the sentence she cut me off from.

"Whoa, what has both your panties in a bunch?" Cristina says from behind staring at me and my sister.

"It's not my panties….it's hers." Aria says, pointing a finger at me while she walks away.

"Callie?" Cristina says, questioningly.

I just shack my head and walk away.

"Where are you going?" She yells through the crowd, but I ignore her and walk past everyone and go upstairs into my room.

I close the door behind me and lean against the door. I close my eyes and breathe in slowly.

"What the hell was that?"

Arizona's POV

I close the door to the Torres household and finally feel a sense of relief, that is, until Mark starts with his interrogation.

"Okay, so what do you think? She's hot right? But not just hot, she's really smart too. A-and she's nice! She was nice, right?"

"Mark! Relax." He nods and takes a deep breath.

"She was…." And now it's my turn to take a deep breath. How do I tell him that I thought she was one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen? No, she is the most beautiful girl I had ever seen! That she took my breath away the minute I laid eyes on her. That my heart threatened to jump out of my chest when she smiled that amazing smile at me. And that when I saw him hugging and kissing her, it made my stomach churn and want to find a brick! How the hell do I tell him that?...Oh yeah, I don't.

"….Lovely."

He stares at me, looking a little skeptical with my response. "Lovely? That's all I get?...Come on!"

I roll my eyes and start walking down the sidewalk, Mark rushing to catch up with me. "You didn't like her, did you?" He says, disappointment evident in his voice. If he only knew exactly how wrong he truly was.

"Mark, of course I liked her. I don't know what else you want me to say though." We continue talking and walking, making our way to his house.

"I don't know…I guess I just expected you to say a little more." He shrugs. "You're not lying to me, right?"

"No, Mark, I'm not lying to you. But if you need a little more, then I'll give you a little more." I turn my face and find him staring back at me, waiting for me to continue.

So I do…with caution. "She was really nice…She was sweet…funny and charming. She's awesome, Mark…and I think she's perfect for you." I smile as reassuring as I possibly can.

He gives me a big toothy smile then wraps his arm around my shoulder as we continue walking. "Thanks. That sounds better."

We both stay quiet for a few minutes just walking with his arm still wrapped around my shoulder, the moon shinning brightly above us.

"It was important to me." He finally breaks the silence and I look up to stare at him. He continued looking straight ahead, a more serious look on his face.

"You're important to me…so I needed you to like her." I continue to look up at him, waiting for him to continue while he continues staring ahead. "Your opinion means the world to me, Arizona."

Guilt washes over me. The feelings I had felt when I saw Callie had been something I never experienced before. Even never having experienced it, I know what it was, what it is. It doesn't matter though. She's Mark's girlfriend, a girlfriend that he's in love with and she loves him back. I wouldn't try anything on her; I wouldn't do that to him. They're just feelings, emotions, and I can shut them down….I have to.

"You know you're important to me too, right?"

He finally looks down at me, a small smile across his face. "Yeah, I know."

I smile back. "I'm happy for you."

They both laughed and joked the rest of the way. When they were only a couple feet away from Mark's house, he stopped abruptly and gasped, staring at his driveway in awe. Arizona stopped as well and quickly followed his gaze to a brand new car parked in his driveway.

"Whose car is that?" Arizona says while Mark runs up to the car. "Holly shit." He said, admiring the car. "You think my folks finally got me a car?" Mark says with hope.

Arizona made her way over to him. "It's pretty." She says simply, slightly tilting her head. She didn't know much about cars; actually she knew nothing about them. She only ever determined one thing about them, whether it was nice looking or not.

"Pretty?" Mark scoffed. "Are you serious? This is a BMW Z4 with 335 horsepower! This thing is a beast!" He said while running his hands over the hood.

"It's blue and shiny, which equals pretty." The blonde said in a girly manner and Mark just rolled his eyes at her. "Why would anyone need that much horsepower anyway?" Mark's mouth falls open, a little offended that she would even say something like that.

The front door to the Sloan house swings open just when Mark is about to respond to Arizona's comment. A man in his early forties comes out with a warm smile, looking between Mark and Arizona. "Well, do you like it?" He says as he raises the car keys in his hands, jingling them from side to side.

"What!" Both Arizona and Mark say in unison. Mark coming off more bitter.

"I didn't want you walking around in a new town, honey."

"Wow Dad, I don't know what to say." She says still in shock at her father's gesture.

"Do you like it?" The older man asked, sounding hopeful.

"I love it, Daddy." The blonde says, smiling happily.

"Then come give me a hug!" They both chuckle and gather in a warming hug.

Mark, watching everything from the side has his hands in his pockets and is tossing around the dirt under his foot. He couldn't help feel the jealousy that had creeped up on him. He finally decided to go inside and leave them to have their moment. "Mom! When are you buying me a car?" Was heard just as he closed the door behind him, making the both Robbins' giggle.

"Are you going to be okay, sweet heart?" The man asks his only daughter.

"I'll be fine Dad." She smiles trying to keep her tears from emerging. "I get why you're doing it. M-mom needs this. Don't worry about me."

"You're my daughter, Arizona, I'll always worry about you."

"I know, Dad, I know. But just try not to be….I'm staying with family…so don't worry."

I lay awake at night staring at the ceiling, tears falling down my face. I had said goodbye to my parents a couple of hours ago. Even though I knew it was necessary, I couldn't help feel abandoned. When my brother died, my mom fell into a deep depression. We were all depressed, but slowly it started hurting less and less, even though we will never be fully healed. My mom is the only one that got worse and worse as the days and months past by. She barley slept and we never saw her eat. She was hospitalized many times for malnourishment. Then she become violent and refused to leave the house. She would often lock herself inside of Danny's room and wouldn't come out for hours. When my father and I would pass by the room, we heard her laughing and talking to herself.

Since his death, our family dinners had become silent. So it surprised us one day during dinner when she decided to speak.

"Do you remember when you told me you were going to take me to Spain for our anniversary?"

We both looked up from our plates, a little stunned. My father eyed me and then his wife, swallowing the food he had in his mouth before speaking. "I...I-I um…"

"Our anniversary past months ago, why didn't you take me?" My mother said in confusion. It seemed like she was acting like the past year and few months never happened.

My father stayed silent, just eying his wife.

"You also said we would travel the world when the kids graduated. Was that a lie too, Daniel?" She spoke curiously.

He cleared his throat and spoke tentatively. "W-would you…like to go to Spain, dear?"

Her eyebrows creased in thought for a while. Then she spoke softly. "…I-I….yes. I want to travel the world."

So that's what they're doing. If it makes her better then I'll go through anything to make it happen. Even leaving my former home and friends behind. This will be my new home for the next year. It really isn't that bad though because I love my Aunt and Uncle, they're great. If I had to live somewhere else besides my home, I'm glad it's this one. It's still going to hurt not being able to see my parent's everyday like I was used to. "It's only a year." I whisper to my self then close my eyes, not having the strength to keep them open any longer.

I was hoping she wouldn't be there.

But there she is.

Her chocolate orbs staring back me.

This year might be a lot more difficult then I imagined.

Sorry there was no Calzona interaction! There will be plenty in the next chapter. This just gave a bit more background and helped set up for the next one.

Reviews keep me going guys. Don't let me down!
