A/N: To the reviewer who have leaving message daily, every single day since the last update, you are the sole reason for this update, I don't know who you are, but I do know that you are a gem of a person, and you don't give up on people easily, I admire you and love you. I will complete this, even if you are the only person reading this.
Arizona couldn't believe her ears, the truth that came out of Carina's mouth was shocking, but was it really that surprising, to learn the lengths Lauren would take to destroy Callie and Arizona, perhaps not, but one thing was absolutely clear to her, Callie was the most honorable person she has ever meet, and she was completely in love with her, so much so, that she knew that she has to stay away from her, for Callie's own good, she deserved so much better, that her mess.
"Are you kidding me?" Cristina appalled at Callie.
"I am telling you, what I saw, there nothing left to add Cristina" Callie dejectedly told her.
"Callie just talk to her, stop rushing to conclusions! Just sit down and have a word with each other, say the truth, the real truth..You know what, ask her now, she is coming this way…and she is here" Cristina said as she physically turned Callie around, as Arizona approached them.
"Hi" Arizona timidly said, after the vents of last night this was the first time she was ready to face Callie
"Hi, back" Callie replied with stiff awkwardness.
"Oh, sweet Jesus, form sentences! I am out of here, you guys need to sort this out yourself" Cristina said, as she left the duo and made her way to the other group.
"So " Callie asked tight lipped.
"So indeed" Arizona replied.
"Callie" "Arizona"..they both started together at the same time, a chuckle left both of them, afterwards Callie used her hand to ask Arizona to go first.
"Calliope..I …Carina..she told me few things and I want you to know the whole truth" Arizona started to explain and Callie's heart started pounding profusely, there was a part in her, who wanted to run away from this conversation altogether, she knew she won't be able to handle, Arizona's rejection, but she asked Arizona to continue anyways, here goes nothing..
Arizona released a deep sigh..here goes nothing…
"Carina and I first meet in College and hit it off instantly, she was charming, and I feel for her charm ,soon we started going out, and soon enough we were in love, she meet my family , my friends, we had plans forever, but then one day out of the blue, she had to go back to Italy, as her family ran into deep financial trouble, I offered my help, but she refused, instead she asked me to wait, wait for her return, and I did" Arizona took a breath in between before continuing, and for Callie her worst fears were coming true, it was taking all her strength for not to break down in front of Arizona, she was mentally telling herself to keep strong.
"Day before yesterday, was the first time in two years, I had seen her, the surprise caught me in my moment of weakness, and that was when you saw me kissing her, in the bathroom" Arizona quietly said, she chanced a look at Callie and saw a single tear make its way down her face, she never wanted to cause Callie any harm, if she could, she would take away all this pain from her, for Arizona it was time to come clean.
"I never felted so guilty and miserable in my entire life, I regret the moment I allowed Carina to come close to me, I so sorry Calliope, I really am, It was also in that moment, I knew with absolute clarity that I am in love with you, completely in love with you" Arizona swiped off her tears which were falling at a rapid pace, and for Callie her brain had completely short circuited, this wasn't the turn of events she was expecting.
"So, I had to find you first, and I did, or well Lexie and Cristina helped, but I did and you know what happened afterwards, for the record I loved every single bit of it and will cherish those memories for the rest of my life, but in all of this I never got a chance to have a word with Carina, but due to Carol, I finally got the opportunity I have been waiting for, so today when I saw Carina, I knew I had to tell her the truth, but before I could say something, she told me she has something very important to say, something that involves Lauren Boswell" a bitter tone has now acquired Arizona.
"Carina told me, after one year in Italy, their financial problems improved, but that wasn't the only thing great that happened to her, she fell in love with another woman named Rosa, and now are in fact engaged, Carina wanted to personally come and tell me truth, but just never got around it, as their financial situation once again worsened, have been on the edge for last three months and it was during this time that Lauren caught hold of her, already knowing our history, she intentionally employed Carina in her company and then blackmailed her to bankruptcy , if she didn't follow her orders, Carina was there on our reception, because Lauren asked her to, she is just a pawn in Lauren's game, but apparently Ms. Torres, caught the whiff of it and have took Carina's family into protection and now Carina will work with us against Lauren." Arizona had completely laid down the truth in front of Callie, Callie was shell shocked to hear the news, but there was one thing that was left, and for that Arizona needed all her strength.
"Calliope, you are the most honorable, beautiful, loyal, sincere person, I have ever meet, probably will ever meet, you are amazing and I love you, and because of that I know, you need to be set free, you don't need me or my baggage, I have dragged you in the mud already, I won't do that for long, so after finishing up with this whole Lauren fiasco, you and I will go our separate ways." Arizona managed the whole thing without her voice wavering, for her, in her mind, this was the best thing to do, and so she waited for Callie to say something, anything, but Callie didn't utter a single word.
Callie's mind was in overdrive, for the life of her, she couldn't believe her ears, she was so mad on Lauren for ruining the good in her life, but most importantly, Arizona loved her, her pure sunshine, ball of energy loved her and didn't think they were a good fit..WAIT WHAT?..WHAT THE HELL?, before Callie could voice her thought, her phone rang
"Hello, Ms. Robbins ?, I am sorry What?".
A/N: it will be wrapped up soon.
