PART TWO.


General's POV

They both were panting heavily. It was Callie who pulled out from the kiss first. To be honest, she had been thinking a lot. After her heartfelt conversation with Cristina, she had been thinking a lot. Thinking about how should she make the decision? And how can she guarantee that she will make the right choices? So here she was, dragging Arizona into a room and asking the blonde to kiss her. Hoping that she would find her answers in the kiss. And as soon as their lips met, she knew the answer to her questions right away.

"I can't… I can't…" Callie swallowed roughly. She let her last sentence trailed off and letting it hang awkwardly in the air for a moment.

"You can't what?" Arizona asked for explanation with a confused look on her face.

"I'm sorry… I need to go…" Before Callie could take another step forward, Arizona reached out to rashly take both of the brunette's hands in her own. "Wait… Callie, I love you… please, you know I love you right…?" The realization of losing her wife hit Arizona like a ton of bricks. And she was noticeably scared. She knew once Callie gone, she wasn't sure she will get her back. It was true, too often people don't realize what they have until it's gone.

Callie swallowed hard again and glanced down staring at the floor. "I think you still love me, but we can't escape the fact that I'm not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So I'm not blaming you for falling in love with another woman. I'm not angry, either. I should be, but I'm not. I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong."

"I'm not in love with her… I'm in love with you… please…" Arizona was not above pleading by now.

"Do you Arizona? Look me straight in the eyes and tell me that you still in love with me. Do those, then I might actually believe you." She stated as calmly as she could.

Arizona dropped her gaze to the floor. Ashamed with herself. How could she selfishly hoping her wife to stay after she put her through hell.

"Yeah that's what I thought…" She scoffed in return.

"Then why-why did you asked me to kiss you…? I don't understand…" Arizona asked.

"I thought if I get you to kiss me, it will help to bring back the spark I felt when you kiss me at Joe's bathroom. But I was wrong; when you're kissing me, all I can think… you and Lauren together. And-and it gave me more pains… So I can't… I can't forgive you."."

Sighing, Arizona struggled to speak for a moment. "So…. are we officially done now?"

"I-I don't know… I love you Arizona… always has been and always will be … but…"

"But you can't forgive me." It came out more like a statement, and not a question.

"Did you…" Arizona closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "did you ever consider in forgiving me?"

"Of course I am…" Callie sighed heavily. "God, I'm telling myself every day to forgive you."

Arizona pressed both palms hard against her face, really trying to pull herself together, but it was nearly impossible.

"It's okay you know… even I can't forgive myself…" Arizona had to pause for a moment. "So I understand…"

Callie was left totally speechless. Even when she was standing in front of Arizona, her person, her best friend, her partner, her wife, and her 'soul mate'. She had nothing to say.

"I-I screwed up pretty bad huh? It was all great and then I screwed it up." Arizona asked while finally looking at Callie's eyes.

"Yeah you did… but there are two sides to every story… so somewhere along the way, I did screw up too."

A moment of silence passed between them, both too worn out to say anything,

"So… I need to let you go?" Arizona asked for conformation. Even if she knew the answer.

"I guess so..." Callie threw a sigh of defeat.

"Sofia?" Arizona somewhat panicked again at the thought of unable to see her daughter again. Legally, she had no right over Sofia.

Callie moved her hands to find Arizona's and softly squeezing it. "You're her mama. And always will be."

Callie gaze once again landed on Arizona. She chewed on her bottom lip slightly. "I have to go… I'm sorry okay."

"Don't be…" Arizona mumbled, very slowly lowering her head and keeping her tears at bay.

Callie was long gone by now. But Arizona opted to stay in that room. Trying to understand the magnitude of the situation. Callie had made her decision. Even if it upset her, she knew Callie did make a right decision. So she couldn't be mad at her for that. And the worst part of it, her parents were still oblivious with her current situation. She knew her parents were the type of parents that would bend for their daughter. But how much can a person bend before they finally break. Her father raised her to be an honourable person, but she'd failed at that. So she would understand if they hate her too once she told them the truth. Taking a few minutes to gather her courage, she dialled the number she knew by heart.

"Mom?" Arizona's voice is hoarse and broken from sobbing.
