Twenty four hours. That's really all it took for my life to feel like it was falling apart. One minute I was excited to be talking to my beautiful fiancé and the next minute I'm checking into a hotel because we got into a bad fight. The worst part, I told her I didn't want to see her, much less marry her. I know I messed up.
Fuck, I feel so sick to my stomach and I haven't been able to stop crying. I do want to marry her but I need her to trust me. This isn't the first time she has either accused me of cheating or has been super jealous. Don't get me wrong, jealous Callie is super hot but, accusing Callie is not. I don't know what I should do to prove she is the only one for me.
It's 9 in the morning and I'm exhausted. I didn't get home till about 1 this morning then add on the accusing me of cheating and the fight that followed, I didn't get to the hotel till close to 3. It's not like I really slept though. I cried in the shower, then I cried when I laid down. I cried myself to sleep, which was only for a couple hours. My eyes are burning from all the crying.
I'm going to check out and go home. I just hope that Callie and I have a productive conversation. I keep trying to see things her way but I feel like she had no right to lock me out. I just needed her to listen. Honestly the pictures aren't even that bad.
I pull into the garage and see Callie's car. I'm relieved that she is home, I'll feel much better when we start talking. Baxter greets me at the door like normal, he's always so happy to see me and it makes me smile. "Hey Bax, where is momma?" I glance around looking for her and I don't see her. Walking to our bedroom, I see that Callie is curled against my pillow still sleeping. Callie never sleeps this late, so I'm assuming she hasn't gotten a lot of sleep either. I sit down in the chair that's in our room and just stare at her. She's so stunning even when she's sleeping. Even when we are fighting, she's the most beautiful creature I've ever seen.
I just sit in that chair watching her sleep for a little while, just petting Baxter. When she stirs I hold my breath. Her eyes flutter open and I see those beautiful brown eyes I love so much. When our eyes meet, I swallow hard. I try to give her a small smile but I'm met with the same straight face.
"Hi" I say softly.
"What are you doing here?" She asks coldly. This is definitely not the way I wanted this to start.
"I figured we should talk..."
"Now you want to talk?" She says interrupting me. "Did you want to tell me again how you don't want to marry me."
"Calliope..." I begin.
"No don't you Calliope me. Those words actually came out of your mouth last night." She says as she sits up.
Trying to stay calm "To be fair, you locked me out of our room. I just wanted to come home and fall asleep next to you."
"Too much partying in L.A.?" She says snarky to me.
I moved closer next to her and place my hand on top of hers. She quickly pulls her hand away from under mine. Callie climbs out of the bed and walks to the closet.
"So that's it? We can't even talk about anything?"
Callie ignores me and keeps going through her clothes.
"Calliope?"
Still nothing.
"Are you ignoring me now?" I question as I stare at her back.
Having enough of the silent treatment, I stand and walk up behind her. I tap her on the shoulder. "Calliope..."
Silence.
I've had enough. I put my hands on her hips and turn her around. "We need to talk."
"I don't really want to talk to you right now. After you broke in my room last night I tried to talk to you and you gave up and ran from our issues." She says and pushes my hands off of her.
Not giving up I grab her hands and she tries to shake them off but is unsuccessful. I take two steps closer and she takes two back. She doesn't realize how close to the wall she is until her back hits it. I have effectively backed her into the wall and she has no where to go. "Let me go Arizona."
"Last night all you did was accuse me of things, so I left but I'm here now. So let's talk."
"I don't really have anything to say." She says staring me in the face.
"Oh I think you do. Let me have it. Scream, yell, do whatever you have to do." I release her hands and she quickly scoots around me without saying anything.
"God you are so fucking infuriating!" I turn and yell at her. "I'm sorry I said I didn't want to be around you, much less marry you. I didn't mean it! You pushed my buttons and I guess that was my way to push yours."
"You said you didn't want to marry me! What the fuck Arizona?!" Callie screams at me. "How do you want me to feel?"
"I'm said I was sorry. I didn't mean that. You were frustrating me so bad cause you kept implying that I was a liar and a cheater! Which I'm not!"
"Pictures say a lot Arizona. How did you meet her?"
"I already explained everything to you. And she contacted us."
"That was your first time meeting her?"
"I met her a long time ago when I was dating Lauren. We met at some Olympic thing that I went to." I explain.
"Nothing happened with you two?" She asks.
"She hit on me but I was dating Lauren. I turned her down and that was it." I say.
"So she has hit on you in the past? And she still has feelings for you?" Callie says with attitude.
"Callie she's not interested in me! She actually congratulated me on our engagement! What do I need to do to prove I'm committed to you and only you?"
"Maybe not be seen around the town with other women." She says.
"Oh my god Callie! Nothing happened!" I yell at her. "How many times..." I'm interrupted as her phone rings.
Callie looks at her phones as to answer it. "We aren't finished, you better not answer it." I warn her.
She doesn't answer the phone so I continue to yell. "How many times do I have to tell you..." Callie's phone starts to ring again. "Who keeps calling you?"
"Aria. She probably just forgot to leave a message." Callie sounds annoyed talking to me.
"How many times do I have to tell you that nothing happened? Do you want me to call Carina and you can talk to her yourself?" I ask her.
"Oh so you have her number?" Callie asks raising her eyebrow.
"You know I have everyone's phone number who works for me."
"Oh I'm sure you do." Callie mumbles.
"Oh my god Callie. I can't do this!" I yell as my phone rings. I look down and it's Aria calling me now. Seeing it's a little strange, since she never really calls me I decide to answer it.
"Hey Aria."
"Are you with Callie? I need to talk to her."
"She's right here, but are you ok?" I ask as Aria sounds panicked.
"We are headed to the hospital, I think my dad is having a heart attack."
"Oh no!" With that comment, Callie stops what she is doing and stares at me.
"Listen I just called daddy's pilot and he is sending the Torres jet to pick you guys up. You need to be at the airport in 45 minutes. Callie is going to be pretty upset so just try to keep her calm." Aria says as she is talking really fast.
"Ok...I will. Keep us posted." I say hanging up.
"What's wrong?" Callie says worried.
I walk up to her and grab her hands and guide her to sit on the bed.
"I'm going to tell you something and I need you to stay calm...everything is going to be ok."
"You are scaring me, Arizona."
"Your dad is on his way to the hospital. He might be having a heart attack." I say calmly to Callie. "Your sister has sent your dad's plane to pick us up."
Callie has already started to cry. I pull her up and bring her close to me and embrace her. "He's going to be ok..." I repeat as I run my hand up and down her back, trying to soothe her.
After a few minutes of holding Callie, her sobs have turned into soft sniffles. "Why don't you pack some clothes for yourself while I go call the dog sitter. I'll be back in a minute." I release Callie but she doesn't let go of me.
"I can't lose him Arizona. I don't want to lose you either." Callie cries into my neck.
"Shhh...don't. Your dad is going to be ok. And I don't want you to worry about us. This conversation doesn't matter right now, we are just going to focus on your dad." I push her back so I can see her face. "As long as you promise we will actually talk...ok." I ask with a small smile.
Callie nods and returns to her position in my arms. I meant what I said, this argument can wait, her fathers health is more important than anything right now. I give her a kiss on her cheek and let go of her again. "I'll be right back."
After making a couple calls I return to the bedroom to pack my stuff. I walk in and Callie is zipping up my bag. "I packed your stuff too." She says with a half smile.
"Thank you. Are you ready to go?"
Callie takes a minute to think and nods. I drive us to the airport. I start talking to try and calm her nerves. "So the dog sitter didn't answer, and neither did Addison so I called Teddy since she is still here for a couple days. I know she only met Baxter a couple times but I believe she will be ok."
Callie nods and gives me a little smile. She grabbed my hand as soon as we started driving and still hasn't let go. "I called Addison when you were making calls. She said she would stop over too." Callie says.
"Oh maybe Teddy and Addison can hang out while we are gone." I say giggling causing Callie to half smile.
We finally get to the airport and board the plane. Within 15 minutes we are in the air, headed to Miami.
Wow! All your comments are awesome! Half of you are on Callie's side and half on Arizona's side. Thank you all for your continued support!
Happy Halloween for those who celebrate it!
