Chapter 14

It seemed that Shelly was a constant fixture at the hospital now. Callie always expected to see Shelly. Coming out of a locked on call room, eating in the cafeteria, walking the halls with Arizona. It was like the normal thing to see. There was no more Calzona, or Arizalle as Mark liked to call them.. Though she preferred Calzona, she never said either aloud. She felt like a teenager when she did. At first she cried a lot, in anger in sadness, whatever. Arizona wasn't supposed to give up on them. She was suppose to wait. But she didn't. And so when Callie overheard that Shelly was moving in with Arizona she could barely muster any emotion at all. She just felt numb now.

She got a page and headed to the elevator to respond. The doors opened and she had already stepped in before she realized the other occupants of the elevator were Arizona and Shelly. Callie smiled politely and pressed the button for her floor.

"I think tonight would be a good time to figure out which side of the bed will be mine." Shelly said to Arizona. Arizona gave her a sideways glance. This was not the time or the place to discuss this. Shelly sighed and then the door opened and she kissed Arizona and said good bye. Smiling softly at Callie as she exited.

The doors closed again and they were alone. Arizona hated that they had not spoken to each unless it was about work. So she said.

"Hi."

The hello coming from behind the brunette was so soft she wasn't sure she heard anything. Until the women behind her cleared her throat and said louder,

"Hi."

Callie turned around and looked at the beautiful blonde, but the words that use to flow so easily between them were like swallowing razor blades now.

"Hi." She said in response. It was all she could muster. As the elevator continued moving it was Arizona who again spoke.

"Well, see, Shelly and I are having a party to celebrate her moving in tomorrow night and I would love it you could stop by. I mean I know your busy and all but I wanted to include you."

"Do you love her?" the words rushed out of Callie's mouth before she had sense enough to Censor them.

"Excause me?" Arizona said

"Do you love her? It's not a complicated question. It's actually pretty simple. Do. You. Love. Her."

Arizona was confused and frankly a bit angry that the georgeous brunette standing across from her was asking the question.

"Callie…"

"Do you love her?"

Arizona knew she couldn't lie to the girl. "I do." Callie's eyes dropped and her smile faded. "I do love her Callie. Do I love her the way I loved you? No. That's the simple question. I find that it's so rare to find someone that you truly, unconditionally love. But I had to move on."

The doors opened and Arizona walked past Callie into the hallway. "I really hope you can make it."

The doors closed slower then Arizona had ever thought possible. She stared into the dark eyes of the brunette and saw so much there that confused her. When the doors were only inches apart she thought she heard Callie say "I love you." But when she turned around the doors were closed.

Callie's had was still clasped over her mouth when she ran into mark in the hall way. She was crying, and in rush to get to the nearest on call room. Mark didn't ask but followed her in. By the time he closed and locked the door she had turned around.

"She said she loves her Mark." Callie exploded. "She said she loves her and then she invited me to a party tonight. Like I would seriously go. We should go get drink tonight so I can drown my sorrows in tequila."

Mark looked sheepish. "I can't. I'm going to the Party."

"EXcause me? Your what?"

"You know Shelly is actually really nice. If you gave her a chance."

"I'm sorry.. have you lost your mind. First.. you're going to the party, and second you want me to give her a chance! You're my friend Mark!"

"Yes I am. But I am so Arizona's friend. And yeah this all started over some award and petty bitching and leaving you at the airport. But she came back for you Callie. She left an amazing job, and a once in a lifetime opportunity to come back here for you. I get that you were mad, and rightfully so, but you can't keep singing the same old tune Torres. Yes she walked away, but she came back. You walked away and stayed gone. Did you think she was never going to move on?"

Callie looked like she might slap him. "ARIZONA LEFT ME IN AN AIRPORT!" She yelled at the man that claimed to be her "friend".

"We know Torres. But she chose you. You chose to walk away. You can't blame her forever. So suck it up, or tell her you love her. Either way come to the party tonight and make nice."

"I told her I loved her." She said softly.

"What? When? What did she say?"

"Well…" Callie stammered. "I mean I said it right as the door to the elevator closed and I kind of whispered it so I don't know if she heard me."

Mark sighed. "Time to make up your mind Torres, and then take whatever happens." He looked at his best friend and he knew he should take his own advice and finally talk to Lexie.
