AN: Sorry this took a little longer. I was deciding whether or not to combine it with Chapter 30 or not and decided not to. So enjoy! Chapter 30 coming soon.

Chapter 29:

Arizona immediately finds Mark the next morning at work. She didn't get much sleep last night. She was crying until late and then once the tears dried up she just sat there thinking about what she could possibly do to get Callie to trust her again. She told Callie the complete honest truth and Callie still didn't trust her. She didn't even really know where to go from here, so she turned to the only person she could talk to about this.

She walks into the hospital that morning and goes in search of Mark. She finds him walking down a hall with Lexie. They walk into an on-call room together and Arizona rolls her eyes. Really? This early in the morning? She thinks to herself before walking up to the on-call room door and knocking loudly.

Mark opens the door just enough to look at who is on the other side and as he makes eye contact with Arizona he smiles. She pushes by him into the room and both he and Lexie look shocked at her audacity. Lexie is sitting on the bottom bunk and Mark is still standing with the door knob in his hand looking completely dumbfounded. Arizona is in a horrible mood and needs to talk to Mark and doesn't care that she is cock-blocking him right now.

"I need to talk to you," she says sternly. Mark drops his eyes to the floor and closes the door giving himself an extra second to think of what to say to get out of this right now. He looks at Lexie. She is practically begging him to make Arizona leave and save this conversation for later.

"Arizona, do we really need to do this right now?" he asks before pulling his eyes back to the blonde. He is met with a face that simply says 'don't fuck with me today,' so he backtracks quickly. "Okay we can do this right now." He sits down on the bottom bunk next to Lexie and kisses her cheek softly. "Sorry, Lex," he says quietly. She looks slightly perturbed but also understands that Arizona is really going through a hard time right now. Mark has been keeping Lexie in the loop on the entire situation and she knows Arizona needs a friend right now. She starts to stand up to leave.

"You can stay if you want, Lexie," Arizona says in a gentle tone. Lexie is surprised, but quickly sits back down. She loves getting to hear the drama firsthand. "The more opinions I get on what to do the better," Arizona admits, "I'm at a total loss here." Mark remembers that Callie was going to go to Arizona's apartment the night before to talk.

"Did Callie end up going to your place last night?" he asks genuinely curious because he hasn't heard from Callie since yesterday. Arizona's face falls and sadness takes over her features. She stares at the floor and Mark thinks he knows what happened. "She didn't show up?"

"No she did," Arizona says quickly and quietly. "She showed up pissed as hell and told me to explain myself, so I did." She pauses to look up at Mark and Lexie. They are both staring at her waiting patiently to be filled in on the events of the evening. "I told her everything that happened with Sarah, including the part where I didn't sleep with her. I explained that I did take Sarah home and I did kiss her, but that I stopped before sleeping with her because I only wanted Callie. I even told her that I told Sarah I couldn't sleep with her because I am in love with Callie." She pauses and can't help but start pacing. Lexie is waiting patiently for her to continue speaking, but Mark feels the urge to egg her on.

"Okay so you told her the truth about what happened. What did she say?" he asks and puts his arms out in a shrug and beckons her to continue with his hands. Arizona takes a deep breath and continues pacing in front of the couple.

"After I finished telling her everything, she was still mad. I think despite me telling her the complete truth, she still doesn't really believe me," she says in a defeated tone. Mark is about to say something, but the blonde starts speaking again cutting off his train of thought. "Then Callie started babbling about how she has never been attracted to another person the way she is attracted to me." She pauses again and the rest of her words come out of her mouth slowly like she is in deep thought. She is picturing the events in her mind as she continues explaining what happened between her and Callie. "I kissed her, and then she fucked me," she says and is staring blankly past Lexie and Mark. They are both shocked at her words and have a million questions to ask her, but she doesn't even notice their reactions and continues talking in a monotone voice. "It was hot, and angry, and passionate as hell, but I could tell Callie was still mad at me almost the whole time we were doing it." Her features, which were neutral throughout most of her story, become suddenly depressed and enraged all at once. "And then she left." Mark and Lexie look confused. They share a baffled look before looking back at Arizona. Lexie is the first to speak.

"She left?" she asks and Arizona nods absentmindedly. "Did she say anything before she left?" Arizona finally focuses in on Lexie again.

"Yeah she said that it didn't change anything. She said she loved me, but that she can't trust me, and then she walked out the door." They all remain silent for a few harsh moments. Mark and Lexie both feel the weight of Arizona's words and are trying to figure out how to comfort and help the blonde. Arizona has a sudden realization and rage boils inside her. "She was just using me," she whispers angrily and stares down at the floor. Heat spreads across her cheeks and chest as fury fills her. "She was never planning on forgiving me," she says bitterly. "She just wanted to use me for sex to hurt me." She looks up to Mark and Lexie then. They both look shocked at her revelation.

"Come on, Robbins," Mark starts feeling defensive of his best friend. "Callie wouldn't do that."

"I don't know, Mark," Lexie jumps in; "it sounds like that's exactly what Callie did." Mark's jaw drops and his eyes jump back and forth from Arizona to his girlfriend. They both look convinced that Callie is doing this on purpose.

"Callie would never do that to anyone, especially you, Arizona. She loves you and she would never intentionally hurt you like that." Arizona contemplates his words and calms down a fraction. Mark is probably right, Callie wouldn't do that to her.

"You're probably right, Mark," she admits softly. "But she is still being a hypocrite." Both Lexie and Mark look like they aren't following her logic so she continues. "She is the one who was married when this whole thing started and she acts like I'm the one that can't be trusted. I should be the one who is worried about trusting her, not the other way around." Both Lexie and Mark nod slightly. They are all in agreement on this front.

"Yeah I have to agree with you there," Mark says shaking his head. "Callie has no reason not to trust you."

"You're right Arizona," Lexie adds. "Are you gonna tell her that?"

"No." Arizona answers sternly. She is still so angry with Callie and doesn't know if she can continue taking these emotional punches left and right. Both Mark and Lexie look shocked again. They expected Arizona to storm right up to Callie and tell her exactly what she thought, but the blonde has other plans. "I need a break. I am going step back for a while and if Callie comes to her senses she can find me. I'm too upset right now to talk calmly to her and confronting her now will cause more problems than it solves." She looks at both of them and forces the best smile she can. "Thank you for your help guys," she says softly before leaving the on-call room.

Lexie looks at Mark expectantly and he gives her a blank stare in return.

"What?" he asks totally confused.

"You need to talk some sense into Callie before she ruins this for both of them." He nods his head and she keeps talking. "You and I both know they are perfect for each other and Callie just needs someone to give her a reality check. She is just being stubborn. They both love each other so much, and just need you to help them along." She smiles and leans in and kisses him chastely. She gets up and heads for the door.

"Wait, Lex," Mark says motioning to the empty on-call room around them. "What about…" he nods his head conspiratorially and winks. She laughs and his expression falls.

"Yeah that is so not happening now," she says while still laughing. She leaves Mark alone in the on-call room. He huffs, frustrated.

"Dammit," he mumbles quietly before going in search of Callie.
