Hey guys back again and yes I will continue to write different stories. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep this as a one shot or make it a few chapters. This was inspired by the song That Ain't Me No More by Matt Stell. Thanks for reading!
Everybody always talks about having a soulmate or the one. How when you meet them you just know. Arizona never believed in any of that. When she met Callie she started to believe in the soulmates concept because if there was any time to believe it, it was then. If it was true then there was no way Callie wasn't her soulmate, that Callie wasn't her one. When they got divorced Arizona realized how big of a fool she was to fall for that idea. How it simply just wasn't true and she never should have fell for that idea. She was right all along in her own twisted way. Life was cruel. It was crappy and beautiful all at the same. But it wasn't a fairytale. Life was far from a fairytale.
It was lunch time and as Arizona entered the cafeteria her eyes searched the room. She instantly spotted Callie and Callie was smiling and laughing. But she didn't recognize the person she was with. It was another women dressed in street clothes. She seen the woman's hand ghost over Callie's and her stomach dropped at the sight.
Arizona busted into her therapist's office swinging the door open "Callie's dating again" She says out of breath from running to her office
"Well hello to you to Doctor Robbins" Dr. Wyatt her therapist says
"yea hey sorry about that" Arizona says plopping down on her sofa
"So Callie's dating again, what about it?"
"What do you mean what about it?! She's the love of my life and she's dating other people!"
"She's also you're ex wife. She has every right to date other people"
"Ughhh yes I know"
"Okay then so why does it bother you that Callie is moving on?"
"Ughhh because I'm sitting here trying. I didn't want a divorce, I didn't want her to walk out the door that day. Yes I use to fight and argue and yell at her and slam doors. My fuse was short and I had a temper. I'm not proud of how I treated her. But I'm trying to fix me, to fix us but she's already found somebody else. She's telling everybody how happy she is. How much of a better place she's in. And it's not cause of me! She's in somebody else's shirt at night. Somebody else is texting her at work. She's got a picture with someone else on her phone. Somebody else is drinking whiskey with her dad. Somebody else is the lucky one. Somebody else gets to see her sexy dresses hit the floor. She's praying for somebody else at night. Somebody else gets to be the one and it's killing me. It's killing me because it's not me anymore." Arizona rants out taking a deep breathe "it's just...it's bittersweet I guess because I'm doing good better than I've been in a while and at the same I'm doing bad because I lost her. I lost Callie and God does it hurt. It hurts so damn bad"
Little did they know Callie was passing in the hallway and heard her ex's voice. She would know that voice anywhere. She could tell Arizona was upset so she stopped to listen. She never would of thought she would over hear that. Arizona's words affected Callie, Callie didn't even think Arizona still wanted her. She could feel the tears forming to her eyes. She blinked them back and walked away before anyone could catch her when they came out the room.
"Did you ever talk to Callie about all this? About how your truly feeling?" Dr. Wyatt asks
"Oh God no. Other than it being about Sofia we don't talk. Callie's happy and she deserves to be happy. I won't ruin that for her again"
"You don't know how Callie feels. You two should really talk. You can bring her here for a session together"
Arizona lets out a little chuckle "uhhh no thanks. Therapy didn't exactly work out for me the last time remember?"
"Y'all are both different people now"
"True but she's happy. It just sucks because she will always be the love of my life and I don't like having to stand by and watch her be happy with someone else"
"Maybe she feels the same way"
"Maybe she doesn't. I ruined us remember. I broke her and suffocated her so much she had to leave. The girl who never gives up on anyone or anything had to give up on me and us because I hurt her so much"
"You both played parts into it. But you don't know how Callie feels about anything. Talk to her, clear the air"
"I'll think about it. But thanks for the talk I have to go back to work now"
"Think about it Arizona!" Dr. Wyatt yells out as Arizona leaves the room
Later that night when Callie went to drop Sofia off at Arizona's place. Callie gave Sofia a big goodbye hug and kiss "Alright mija I love you and be good for your mom now run inside i need to talk to your momma"
"Everything okay Callie?"
"Um yea I just wanted to say that even though I'm dating someone else now, you'll always be the love of my life Arizona" and with that Callie walked away and got in her car and drove away while Arizona stood there frozen in place.
