Teddy smiled with great sorrow for her friend. "Arizona…"
"I mean I am not bad looking in fact I'm fucking hot! There are a lot of people lined up to be with me!" The blonde went on while she helped Teddy put her gear on.
"Exactly so why are you still wasting your time with her. I think you should go after Callie." Teddy suggested, nodding towards the brunette passing by.
"Ugh Teddy we already been over this. Calliope hates me." Arizona whined, looking at Callie.
"She doesn't hate you. She is just…mad, well livid." Teddy tried to reason.
"No, no I'm pretty sure she hates me. It's been three months! Three since she said more than four words to me! If that's not hate, than I have no clue what is."
"Well four is a great number to start. Its even and…oh Bret Farve wore number four! So think of it as a lucky number."
"Yeah, well I don't know. Lets just get through practice." Arizona sighed at the thought of Callie actually hating her.
(Meanwhile…)
Callie and Addison walked out to the outfield to warm their throwing arms up.
"She's doing it again." The red head spoke in a sing song voice.
"Who's doing what?" Callie said annoyed that she had another day to practice riding the pinewood bench.
"Arizona! She is staring at you again." Addison said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I couldn't care less." The brunette spoke dryly.
"Ah! But you do care Cal. She has feeling towards you and…"
"Yeah and she defiantly showed it."
"Seriously? You're still butt hurt. Get over it already! It happened over 3months ago. And she apologized at least 100 times since then. I think its time…"
"Its time for you and every one on this fucking team to get off my back!" Callie yelled before making her way to her assigned seating in the doughout.
"Hey Addie." Teddy greeted the red head as she and Arizona walked by.
Addison reached out and forcefully grabbed the blue eyed woman and pulled her towards her. "I miss my friend."
"Huh?" Arizona's brow furrowed in confusion.
"She is not my friend." Addison nodded towards the pouting Latina. "My friend was fun loving, caring, sweet, optimistic, funny, and many other bright things. She, that girl over there who has a constant frown on, who snaps at any given moment, who 's not approachable, and many other dark things. I want my friend back. I miss my friend." Arizona nodded. "Callie is broken, and you have to fix this."
(After Practice)
"Hey Zona a couple of us are grabbing drinks tonight, you down?"
"No. I have a test tomorrow. I'm just going to stay at the Library."
"Oh okay I will catch up with you later." Teddy said.
(Later that night 2am)
Arizona pulled up at her apartment building but instead of going to her room she went up two floors to Joanne's. She knocked a few times but no answer. "She's probably sleeping" Arizona thought allowed as she turned to walk away. Just then she heard giggling. Whipping her head around Arizona used the spare key that was given to her. The blonde walked passed the dark living area and kitchen to the bedroom. She opened the door and some screamed.
"Who the fuck are you?" The unknown female squealed.
"Arizona!" Joanne quickly rolled off the girl to cover herself. Tears threating to spill Arizona turned to leave. "Arizona wait!" Joanne threw on her robe and followed the blonde stoping her just before the door. "Arizona let me explain…"
"No! No, its fine. You finish up here. And I'll go to my apartment. Don't bother trying to contact me. I want nothing to do with you. I have nothing more to say to you." With that the blonde left.
(The next day)
"Wow really? She didn't learn the first time she cheated on you. I mean if you ask me you both are stupid…" Teddy said instantly regretting the words. "I'm sorry I didn't mean that."
"You did. And you're right. I'm the idiot that took her back in the first place, this one is on me too…"
"Zona can I speak with you please." Joanne asked. Arizona nodded and allowed Joanne to lead her to their lonesome. "Zona I want to say how deeply sorry I am. I mean I don't know why I did it. It meant nothing. She means nothing and…"
"You did it because you're you. And thank you for being you."
"Excuse me?" Joanne was really confused.
"Thank you because if it wasn't for you cheating on me AGAIN than I would have never realized how wrong I really was. I like Calliope, a lot actually. And I have to make things right with her and hope she gives me another chance. So thank you for helping me realize what needs to be done."
Joanne was shocked, but anger quickly replaced the emotion. "The bitch fucking hates your guts. As much as she hates mine. She won't give you the time of day. Face it Arizona for you I am the best it gets for you. Its been three months! What makes you think she wants to talk to you anyway"
"Thank you for the advice, but I'm going to go for it. All I can do is try."
(2days later-end of practice)
"We have two and a half weeks until our first game! We have to get our hearts in it. I don't know whats going on with you all but we have to play as a team if we want to be successful. Your skills are undeniable but your connection is reconziably suffering. Therefore I have schedule a team bonding. You guys are going to do something fun together, learn how to get along. All of you! If that does not happen within the next week you will suffer the consequences."Bailey eyes flickered between Callie, Arizona, and Joanne during her whole speech.
Once the reutine end of practice speech the team disperced.
"Callie!" Arizona called out for the brunette who in turn just kept walkng. "Callie wait up! I wanted to talk to you."
The brunette stopped and turned around. "What is it Coach?"
Arizona was taken aback by the Latina calling her Coach. "I-uh. I wanted to say sorry…"
"I've heard it all before."
"I know I said sorry a lot these past few months but I completely understand how your feeling now. And I wanted to apologize for betraying your trust in one of the worst ways possible. I was completely blind and obivlious, and ignorant when I told Joanne those personal things about you. I should've known she would use it against you. I was so stupid and you don't deserve anything that happened. Its all my fault. I am sorry. Calliope I miss you. And I hope that you can find it in your kind heart to forgive me, and that someday we can get back to that point." Arizona fildled with her fingers waiting for Callie to respond, but no words left those beautiful lips. "Say something?" The blonde reached for the brunette's hand. The spark the Arizona had felt months ago was now back. But only for a brief second as Callie pulled her hand away. "I'm asking for your forgiveness, and another chance to be even the smallest part of your life."
"What brought this on? I mean do you just want to be apart of my life because Joanne is no longer apart of yours? Are you the type the can't stand to be alone, and have to have someone by their side? Because I am not looking to be Joanne's temporary replacement again. So when you two get back together you can laugh at the poor Mexican and her family."
"Is that you think. Calliope that's not it at all. I like you, like really like you. What happened with Joanne was a unfortant and I am in complete shame. But Callie I never saw you as a replacement, and never laughed at the misfortunes of your family. You have to believe me on that one. I want to be in your life because you are a sweet, kind, smar, and gorgeous inside and out. I want to be in your life because the past three months have been miserable with out you. I want to be in your life because I can no longer pretend or deny my feelings for you." Arizona rambled on. "What do you say? Can I be a part of your life again?"
The answer the blue eyed woman received was one of no words. Callie pulled the blonde into a tight embrace, hoping to convey every emotion.
