A/N: Thanks for the reviews! Based on the song "Ring the Bells" by Satellite. Callie's POV and Arizona's POV throughout this chapter.

Chapter 3

"Cause the only truth I've ever known is that nothing ever hurts us more than love."

A week had passed since the Chris & Arizona drama. Callie was happy it was behind them. But little did she know, it wasn't over yet.

"Hey Ari, lets go out for drinks tonight. Mark and Christina invited us and I told them I'd ask you."

"Actually I can't tonight. I have to study for an exam. You go though, have fun" she smiled.

Mark, Callie, and Christina were hanging out at the local bar near the college they attend. Christina was drunk and passed out on their table.

"So how are things with Blondie going?"

"Same as always, complicated" she said taking a sip of her beer.

"Women are always complicated. That's why I'd rather sleep around and not have worry about any feelings."

"Sloan you're going to get bored soon. If I were you, I'd start finding someone who's right for you. You don't want to be alone, trust me."

"Hey want to take a walk around the campus. I'm getting claustrophobic."

"Sure but what about Christina?" she said looking had her passed out friend.

"We'll come back and get her don't worry. Let's go" he said grabbing her arm to lead her outside.

Mark and Callie walked for awhile talking about Callie's hidden feelings for Arizona. She was glad she was starting to get close to Mark, he was actually a good listener. As they were approaching the garden, it was dark and secluded except for a couple sitting on a bench making out.

"Check it out Torres, looks like they're about to do it on the bench" he whispered.

Callie laughed and they both went to hide behind the bush. Callie saw that the girl had blonde hair. She looked just like Arizona from behind.

"No, it can't be…." she whispered to herself.

Callie saw the bracelet, it was Arizona's. She gave it to her on her 20th Birthday. She looked at the guy she was kissing, trying to see if she could recognize him. And then she saw it, his watch. Her dad had given it to Chris when he started working at the company.

"Come on Mark, lets go" she grabbed his arm and pulled him away.

Callie's POV

I couldn't believe what I had seen. What the hell was she thinking? After being their for Arizona, I was shocked to see them together again. I had to talk to her. We went outside for our fifteen minute break, this would be the perfect time.

"I have to tell you something" she said.

"I have to ask you something first. And I need you to be honest with me."

"Ok, ask me."

"Were you with Chris last night?"

"How did you…..umm…yes I was."

It hurt more to hear it from her because now it felt more real.

"Ok, am I missing something? He is with someone else right?"

"Yeah he is but he told me he's going to leave her. He said she was just some girl your dad set him up with. He's only with her to make your parents happy. But he promised me that he would leave her. And you know what I don't want to commit to anyone right now anyways."

"Are you kidding me Arizona? You really think he'll leave her? How could you kiss someone who's kissing someone else. And please don't tell me your sleeping with him too? He's playing with you Arizona! I thought you were smarter" I walked away from her.

"No I'm not sleeping with him. I don't care anymore Callie. I just want to have fun and do whatever. I'm sick of thinking and over-analyzing people. I don't care if he's with her. I just like being around him and talking to him" she said as she came after me.

"I don't get you Arizona. I just…..I don't."

"I just want somebody to want me and he does" she whispered and crossed her arms over her chest looking away.

"Ari this isn't right. I don't think he wants you for the right reasons. He…."

"Why are you so angry about this?" she cut me off.

"I'm angry because I care about you. I don't want you to get hurt. I know you, you're going to get attached and then he's going to hurt you and you'll be devastated. I don't want you to be the other women in his life. You shouldn't be the one to help him cheat on someone else. That's not you….."

Why was Arizona acting like this all of a sudden? She's changing.

"I know its not me. I don't know what to do anymore. But you promised me you would always be there no matter what so you better not break your promise."

"I won't but, I don't know how much more I could take of this. Him with his arms around you and kissing you. And then when you guys….."

She grabbed my shoulders to stop my ranting.

"Calliope, you sound like a jealous ex right now. Why are you acting like this?"

It's now or never…..I cupped her face and brought her closer.

"Because I…"

Come on ,just say it! Say it!

"Because what?" she whispered.

"Because I love you."

"You love me….."

"Of course I love you. You're my best friend Ari and I'm just looking out for you."

I pulled my hands away from her face and stepped back. It's never…..

Arizona's POV

She grabbed my face and brought us closer that our noses were almost touching.

"Because I…"

Is she going to tell me what I think she's telling me?

"Because what…"

Just say it Calliope…..

"Because I love you."

Oh my god, is this for real?

"You love me…."

I needed to be sure she was saying what I think she was saying.

"Of course I love you. You're my best friend Ari and I'm just looking out for you."

I felt her warmth disappear as her hands pulled away from my face.

"Yeah of course" I answered.

I'm such an idiot…

Later that night…

I was at home again waiting for a text from either Callie or Chris. But I got nothing. I think Callie is still pissed at me and Chris well…he's probably with her as usual.

I don't know why I was so drawn to him. I don't know why I let him mess with my feelings. And today was a day I would never forget…..

I think I've had feelings for her for over a year now. I was just afraid to admit that I had feelings for another girl after being boy crazy my whole life. Callie was different for me. She opened up feelings inside of me that I never felt for anyone. She's brave, honest, beautiful and my protector. She's everything I can't find in a man. But she didn't feel anything for me except for friendship and I didn't want to risk telling her. And even if she did have feelings for me too, I'm afraid I'll be to scared to be with her. I don't want to lose our friendship because I still have this stupid fear inside of me.

Maybe I was going along with Chris because he was Callie's brother. But he does have a charm that pulls me to him too. I'm not going to lie, I've started to develop feelings for him too.

My phone buzzed….it was Chris.

Hey beautiful, what's up?

Hey Chris, nothing just laying down in bed thinking.

Oh yeah, you're thinking about me?

Maybe, lol. You're not always on my mind.

I should be. I miss you.

Miss you too. Are you home?

Yeah just got home.

Oh, working late?

No actually I was with Irene. Hanging out at her place.

Oh, hope you had fun.

Are you mad?

No, why would I be?

Just forget it. It's not too late, lets hang out. I'll pick you up.

Why you got bored kissing her and now you want to kiss me?

Yeah I want to kiss you and do other things with you.

Chris, just stop. I have to go. Goodnight.

Why am I torturing myself this much? I'm an idiot. He's using me and I'm letting him. Maybe love doesn't exist in this world….well in my world. I don't want to be alone and for now he's my only choice.

Callie's POV

I hated being this depressed. Why did my brother have to go and ruin things? I just wish I could confront him. He has no right playing with her. But I promised Arizona I wouldn't say anything.

Who the hell is knocking on my door now?

"Yeah who is it?"

"It's me sis, can I come in?"

Oh great, I really don't want to see you right now Chris.

"Yeah sure."

He came in and laid down next to me in my bed and put his head against the dashboard.

"So how are things going?" he asked.

"Fine I guess."

"Why have you been pissed lately? You and Arizona fighting?"

"No we're not."

"You guys usually hang out every night. But your always home."

Serisously? Stop acting dumb!

"Yeah, she's busy with school and tired so…."

"You're a good friend, giving her some space to rest and stuff."

And stuff….

"Yeah. How are things with your new girlfriend?" I had to ask.

"Great actually. She's cool, I really like her. I think she's perfect for me and dad & mom love her. I'm getting older and I need to start thinking about settling down and getting the hell out of here."

"Good, I'm happy for you" I lied.

Yeah right…jackass.

Next day at work…..

Arizona's POV

Here we were at work again but Callie was being cold and only talking to me if it involved work. When it was break time, I cornered her.

"Cal, are you going to talk to me?" I asked.

"I am talking to you. Why wouldn't I be?'

"I don't know. You're acting different. Please just talk to me" I pleaded.

"Nothings different Arizona. I'm talking to you. I'm just tired that's all."

"Ok then, lets hang out tonight?"

"I can't tonight, rain check?"

"Callie, come on. We need to hang out tonight and talk. I miss talking to you already. Why can't you come out tonight?"

"I have a date."

I felt like someone poured a big bucket of cold water over my head.

"Oh….umm…that's good. With who? Do I know her?"

"Yeah actually, its Jessica."

"From here? Work?" I was shocked.

"Yeah, she had told me she liked me a little while back but I ignored it. But you know what, I'm done waiting. So what the hell, let me have some fun. Right?"

'Let me have some fun' Don't use my words Calliope. Jessica is a slut and everyone knows it! Why did I still have the hope that she had feelings for me? But she's my best friend and I don't want that to change, ever.

"Yeah, as long as your happy then go for it."

"Come on, fifteen minutes are up" she started to walk back.

Just then I got a text from Chris.

"Yeah, I'll be there in a minute."

Hey, lets hang out tonight after work. I got the keys to the house by the beach.

I don't know Chris, maybe we could go somewhere else….

Come on, we'll sit and talk and maybe do more if you're ready. I really miss you.

Ok, meet you there.

Can't wait.

If she's going to be with other people then why am I hold myself back. Love hurts but pleasure doesn't.
