Chapter 3
Cont. Flashback
Callie went home, her tears wouldn't stop all the way home. She went inside and slammed the front door shut. She was angry. She saw her father standing there with a angry look on his face as usual. She didn't feel like dealing with him at all.
"Where have you been?!" he yelled.
Callie ignored him and went up the stairs.
"Calliope, I am talking to you! Don't force me to come upstairs!"
Callie still ignoring him saw his mother at the foot of the steps.
"What's wrong? Did you fight again? Your father has been waiting for you since morning. You promised to help him but you weren't around all day. The photographer came by to take his money and said some rude things to him. Didn't you pay him?" she was standing at his door way talking.
"Just leave me alone!" she screamed hitting her shut door.
"Calliope, honey what's wrong?" she said concerned.
Callie still ignoring her went to her desk drawer and took all the money that was left and put it in her pocket. She heard her mother mumbling to her father and then all of a sudden he barged in and grabbed her arm.
"What happened huh?! Who did you fight with now?"
"I didn't fight with anybody dad. Just let me go."
Callie's mother was in the back whimpering trying to pull Carlos away from their daughter.
"Tell me the truth!"
"I swear I didn't fight with anyone, please."
"When are you going to grow up?! When?! You didn't even pay the photographer. Where is the money?! Answer me!" he kept yelling in her face.
"Please dad just let me go. I need to get some air, please."
"Don't talk back to me!" he slapped her across the face.
Callie was shocked to say the least. She was already hurting and now this. She grabbed her cheek and held back her sobs.
"Don't do that Carlos, please I'm begging you" her mother pleaded to her husband.
"If you don't tell me where that money is, you will not leave this room!" he grabbed both her arms and squeezed hard while yelling in her face.
"Let me go!" she pulled away from him with all the strength she had and went towards the door.
"Come back here!" he yelled and ran downstairs after him even though his wife was pleading him not to.
Callie was trying to grab her jacket and get out as fast as she can but her father still caught up to her. He grabbed her arm and turned her towards him.
"Don't you dare walk away from me!"
"Please dad let me go, I'm begging you" she cried.
He pushed her body towards the living room. She grabbed a hold of the couch to steady herself.
"You are not going anywhere tonight!"
"Just leave me alone, don't touch me!"
"Don't talk back!" he yelled and raised his hands again.
Maria pushed Callie out of the way and stood in front of her husband.
"Leave her!" she yelled.
"You stay out of this!" he grabbed her arm and pushed her towards the couch.
"Don't touch her!"
Callie's face was red and tears were streaming down her face. She was angry. She made a fist and swung at her father as hard as she could.
"Callie, no don't!" her mom screamed in anguish.
Her father was on the ground grabbing his face. Callie couldn't take it anymore, she ran out towards the car. She ignored her mother's screams for her to come back. She got in the car and drove off.
Callie was sitting at Hyland Park with Mark. She had a bottle of tequila in her hand and she kept drinking it like it was water.
"Take it easy Cal" Mark said concerned for his best friend.
"Stay out of it Mark" she replied coldly.
"Did something happen? You know you can tell me anything."
Callie looked at Mark and started laughing.
"Nothing happened. Do I need a reason to drink? I felt like it so I'm drinking." she smiled taking another swig.
"I know Callie but drink normal. You're drinking a whole damn bottle yourself."
Callie looked away sadly.
"Cal, what is it? Are you ok?"
Callie nodded and looked down at the floor.
"I don't like your mood tonight Callie. Come on lets go."
"If you want to go than leave."
Mark got up from the bench and grabbed Callie's arm gently. Callie's started to get angry.
"Don't touch me Mark! Either stay or go. Leave me alone."
"Your sisters here" Mark said as he saw Aria walking towards them slowly.
Aria came and sit down next to Callie with a angry look on her face.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! You hit dad! Are you crazy?"
"What?!" Mark was surprised.
"How could you do that? I'm talking to you Callie!"
"Shut up Aria. He hit mom, ok. He hit mom in front of my face. What did you expect? I told him 'Don't hit her.' But he didn't listen."
Mark felt like it was more of a family situation so he had decided to leave.
"I have to go. Call me tomorrow Callie."
Aria sighed.
"Why are you acting like this? Why can't you control yourself? What's your problem? Who are you rebelling against?"
Callie looked at Aria. Tears filled her eyes but she held back her sobs. She swallowed and looked at her sister with hate.
"I am fed up cleaning up your mess. I told you I have exams tomorrow. But I always have to look after you."
Callie shook her head and ignored Aria. She got up and took out the keys to her dads car.
"Callie stop"
Callie still ignoring her walked to the car as fast as she could. She wasn't even that drunk. Aria grabbed her arm. Callie was much taller than Aria, she looked down at her face.
"Callie you're sick. You need to get treated."
"Leave me alone" she pushed Aria back and opened the door.
"Hey, what are you doing? Give me the key." Aria said.
"Aria…." Callie wasn't letting the key go as Aria tried to pry it out of her.
"Give them to me. You can't drive like this. You're drunk. Go sit down!" she pushed Callie and got the keys.
Aria started to drive home. She was so angry she hit the steering wheel.
"I am going to go crazy. You couldn't find another day to screw up? I've been studying for my exam for weeks. This is my future! What right do you have to make me look after you in the middle of the night?! Huh?! You are not going to drag me down with you Callie. Do you hear me? I am talking to you" she said looking over at Callie and driving at the same time.
"Shut up already. I have had enough" Callie replied coldly.
"I cannot believe you punched dad."
"He hit mom."
"It's not the first time!"
Callie looked at Aria shocked.
"I did it so that he would stop."
"What are you going to do now? How are you going to look at his face?"
"Who would want to look at his face?" she said with malice.
"How will you get along with him, you idiot!"
"I don't need that. Just shut up!"
"I've had it with you! I'm sick and tired of picking up the pieces behind you!"
Callie raised her hand up as if to hit her.
"What?! You're going to hit me too? Go ahead!"
Aria pulled at her arm and wouldn't stop.
"Come on. Hit me! Hit me Callie!"
For a mere second something caught Aria's eyes ahead of her. They turned….
"Watch out!" Callie yelled and covered her eyes with her arm.
It was too late already the windshield shattered with someone's body. Aria didn't break in time. The car screeched to a stop and the person's body flew to the ground.
"Oh god….." Callie whispered.
Aria got out of the car followed by Callie. She started to walk towards the body.
"Hey…are you ok?" she asked.
As Aria got closer to the body she saw all the blood. Callie hung up and watched.
It was a young girl. Aria bent down a little to check if she had a pulse. Her fingers touched her neck, there was nothing. She threw her body back to the ground. What had she done?
"She's dead! She's dead! It's all your fault!" she screamed at Callie.
"Oh god! Dammit! God damn you!" Aria was yelling from the floor in the middle of the street.
Callie stood in the middle of the street and looked down at the body of a girl with a pool of blood around her head. Suddenly Aria ran toward a taller Callie and pushed her down on the concrete floor.
Callie stayed on the ground as did Aria. Aria broke down sobbing. She couldn't stop.
End of Flashback.
"Life is really strange Callie. Suddenly something happens and your whole life is turned upside down. You find yourself in a place you would have never dreamed of. Something small can change your whole life." Mark sighed.
Callie looked down and smiled.
"That thing you call small might be something big for somebody else. Maybe it's the biggest mistake of her life. Maybe it's the best thing she ever did. You can't know it. How could you?"
"That's life. Live it and see it."
After a long night of talking with Mark. They decided to go to the party of Aria's friend for some more drinks. They met some girls, Callie met one in particular. A blonde named Erica. They went to her apartment and well they were laying in her bed naked.
"So what do you do?" Erica asked as she stroked Callie's arm with her head on her shoulder.
"I want to sleep" Callie replied with her eyes closed.
Erica turned away and decided to let her be. She reached to turn the light off.
"Don't turn off the light. Leave it on. I can't sleep in the dark."
"Good night" Erica whispered while turned the other way.
Callie reached down to the scars on her stomach. She gently covered it with her hand.
Flashback
Callie was in the jail cell fighting another girl. While the other inmates were huddled around them watching. Callie definitely was the better fighter by far. Someone else came towards Callie and pushed her back.
"Hey stay out of it. You betted if you can't stand to lose your money that's not my problem!" Callie put her towards the wall. She was pumped up. She saw an older woman that was known to be one of the biggest criminals in the prison hand a shard of glass to the woman intervening with Callie.
The other inmates grabbed Callie from behind so she can't escape. The woman pushed the shard of glass into Callie's stomach with all her strength.
"Ahh!" Callie screamed in agony.
"That's what you get!" the woman yelled as she pulled the glass back out.
Callie put her hand against the wound as the blood spilled out. The pain was too much, the blood….
End of flashback.
In the morning Callie had come home already. Aria and her dad weren't there. She saw her mom, she was doing laundry.
"Honey do you want me to wash that shirt?"
"Yeah I guess. Don't have much left." she said taking her shirt off leaving her clad in her bra.
Her mom saw the scar on her stomach and gasped.
"What did the doctor say about the surgery?"
"Since when do you care so much about me?" she shot back at her mom.
Callie walked away towards the bathroom. She remembered. She looked at her reflection in the mirror. It all came back…..
Flashback
Callie and Aria had fled the accident scene. They were home now and the police were outside looking at the car with the broken windshield.
"The police are here" Carlos said looking outside the window.
"Dad I didn't see her. I swear I didn't see her. She came out of nowhere. I was looking at Callie and didn't see her." Aria was sobbing on the couch.
"You ruined Aria's life. You ruined it!" Maria sobbed while looking at Callie.
Callie was sitting across from them frozen. She was lost.
"It's all over. Her whole life is destroyed. She has to finish college." Maria sobbed.
There was a knock at the door. Callie sat there as tears started to fall from her eyes.
"Come on get up" Carlos told Aria.
Carlos went to open the door. Maria turned to Callie.
"This is all your fault. If you had listened to your father, if you didn't get drunk. This wouldn't have happened if he hadn't run after you! You destroyed my life, my hopes!" Maria yelled.
Aria got up to go down to the police. Callie looked at her mother. Got up and pushed Aria away and ran down the stairs. Her father was already there.
"My daughter did it."
"I did it. I'm turning myself in" Callie stood there and showed her wrists.
Aria stood back shocked. She was going to go but her mother held her back.
People were watching as they arrested Calliope Torres.
"What are you all looking at?! Get back to your own home!" her father screamed to the crowd.
As they were escorting Callie to the squad car, you could see Mark and Arizona running toward her.
"Callie!" Mark screamed.
As they got to her, the officers pushed them away. Mark kept mumbling questions but Callie couldn't hear him, all she could see were Arizona's blue eyes piercing at her. She felt ashamed and couldn't look anymore as they pushed her into the squad car.
End of Flashback.
