Author's Note : I know you want them back together real quick but , it wouldn't make sense if Callie would take Arizona back without turning into her angry mode first . And forgive me , it seems like after this the update would go back to one chapter per week as my holiday's over already . But I will try my best , okay ? I don't know from where most of my readers are from , but I hope you are all doing well . Happy reading and selamat membaca ~


Come up to meet you

To tell you I'm sorry

You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you

To tell you I need you

Tell me your secrets

And ask me your questions

Oh , let's go back to the start

Both hands in the pocket of the trench coat , she walked forward . The room was quiet as all eyes were focused on the stage . Arizona looked up and for a brief moment , she was actually smiling .

Callie was on the stage , wearing a sexy gorgeous purple dress . Bronzed skin was perfect under the dim light of the stage . Arizona never took her eyes off from the brunette . She felt a little bit relief when she finally saw Callie but half of her heart was still beating fast .

Is this the right thing to do ?

Arizona knew she had to do a lot of explaining to Callie . But was this the thing she really wanted to do ? Was she ready to let her guards down , the wall that she built for years ?

And most importantly , how would Callie react to her after months of radio silence between them ? Would Callie listen to her explanation ? Arizona halted her movement .

A lot of questions were on Arizona's head . But then all of her questions and worries flew away as brown eyes finally saw her . Callie was staring at her , her face looked like she just saw a ghost . For a moment , they just stared at each other .

Arizona began clapping her hands as she thought that Callie already finished with her open reading for that night . She must have just finished , right ? All eyes were on her now and she immediately stopped her clapping session .

Well , that's awkward . Arizona scanned the faces in front her . Some of them were whispering to each other while the other just looked at her . Arizona shrugged as her eyes found her way back to the stage . Instantly , her eyes went wide when she saw Callie was now running down the stage . Running away from her to be exact .

"CALLIE !" Arizona called as she started to sprint to the stage . A few photographers who were standing right in front of the stage began taking photos of the unexpected incident . Arizona mumbled a few shits as she ran pass the photographer . She knew she would make a headlines in tomorrow newspaper .

She had always keep her life low . And all of the business interviews , Nathaniel was the one who handled that . Even though she was the owner of Sullivan Group , she never went to any of those interviews . She hated interviews as she knew the interviewers would start asking about her personal stuff , so she rejected all of it . Or she would just simply left it to Nathaniel , letting them to interview the young man . Most of the newspapers and magazines pissed at her because the answer they would always get from her was a 'no' .

Arizona went to the backstage area but that was when the bodyguards stopped her from entering the area .

"I need to go in ."

"Do you have this pass ?" One of the tall bodyguard yanked his staff pass out of his pocket and held it arrogantly in front of Arizona's face .

"No , but ..."

"Then you need to get out from this area ." The other bodyguard cut off .

"Excuse me ? I just need to talk to .." At the same time , Callie walked out from one of the room . "Her ."

The bodyguards turned around and Arizona took the chance as she quickly ran forward .

"Miss ! Please do not make our job difficult ." All of the bodyguards chased after her .

"It's okay . I will make sure she leaves after she talks to me ." Callie was looking at the bodyguards . They left eventually after Callie reassured them .

"I only helped you because you are tiny and you were seconds away from getting your ass kicked by them ." Callie said sarcastically .

"How are you ?"

The voice still sounded cold to Callie . And that three words question , the blonde just said it nonchalantly . Like it was a casual question between the two of them .

"Why do you want to know about that , Arizona ?" Callie sighed . "And please don't tell me the reason is that you care about me . It's been months !"

"Four months and sixteen days actually ."Arizona corrected her .

"Oh , you actually counted the days you ran away from me ." Callie scoffed . "You made a promise , you said we would still be friends . But then you broke it and left without any reason . And I never forced you to make that promise ."

"I wasn't running away from you , Calliope . I was .. it was a moment of confusion ! And I made a dumb choice by disappearing ." Arizona carefully let out those words .

"Do .. …do not Calliope me !" Callie yelled . "You were confused ? You made your own choice that night , the days after that . And you didn't seem like you were confused . You made a bright and clear choice ." Callie was clearly mad at Arizona . "I am not angry because you rejected me . I am angry because you promised we would be friends but then I lost a friend ."

"I messed up , I know but ..."

"Miss Torres ?" A very enthusiastic voice of young woman interrupted the heated conversation .

Arizona turned around to search the owner of that disturbing voice . A young blonde girl , maybe in her early 20s was approaching them . Arizona felt like she wanted to strangle the girl with her bare hands . She would really do it but then she would end up in prison .

"Do you know that it is not nice to disturb an adult conversation ?" Arizona raised her voice . She really needed to talk to Callie . Now .

"Oooh , Miss Robbins ! The CEO of Sullivan Inc , you are here too ." The girl said , looking more excited .

This quickly reminded Arizona of her old self when she was twenty something . Did I piss somebody else when I used to be all perky and cheerful ?

"Sorry to interrupt both of you but this is kind of important , so I will just go straight to the point ." The girl added as she turned her attention to Callie again . "I am Amanda Miller from NST Publishing . My boss , Mr. Michael Schuester followed your blog and I am here to scout around to find another potential new writer and was asked personally by my boss to pay more attention to you ."

NST Publishing ? NST Papers ? Okay , that is one of many newspaper companies that I already rejected .

Callie let out a small laugh . "I am sure that you will tell your boss how I chickened out on the stage just now . It's okay if he doesn't think my work is still awesome after what happened tonight . I'm flattered that you were actually interested with my work , though . NST is a big company ."

"We still think your work is great . It's not a biggie that you have a stage fright because people understand it more by reading and not by hearing it . My boss think that you have an interesting story . Different than the others . He would like to talk you in person regarding your story . How about tomorrow for a brunch at Kellari Taverna , eleven am ?" The girl asked .

Stage fright ? Chickened out ? No wonder all of the people were looking at me when I clapped my hands . The open reading for Callie hadn't start yet and I ended it by clapping my hands . Arizona felt like she wanted to hide herself inside of a cave right now .

"Really ?" Callie showed off her broad smile before she nodded her head . "Tomorrow , eleven am . I will be there ."

The young blonde excused herself , leaving both women alone again .

Callie stared at Arizona's face for a few seconds before she finally decided to walk away . The blonde wasn't talking , maybe she already finished with her explanation . The explanation that Callie couldn't help it but feel that it wasn't enough .

"Callie ." Arizona's throaty voice called her .

Callie stopped as she took a deep breath . She was tired , she needed to get some rest . She didn't want to deal with this thing now . "Go home , Arizona ."

"I will go back to my hotel after we have our talk ." Arizona wouldn't gave up .

"I mean , go back to your shit hole hideout in Seattle . You don't belong here ." Callie began to move again .

"Callie !" Arizona called but Callie wouldn't look back . "Could you at least tell me where you are staying ?"

"GO HOME , Robbins !" With that Callie left , she was pissed off . Well , she had the right . Arizona left her for months and just came back , like it wasn't a big deal .

Arizona rubbed her head . Calm down , Robbins . But how she could calm down when things clearly didn't go as she planned ? She shook her head , she needed to be in control again . And she wouldn't give up . Not this time .


The Next Day

It was half past eleven by now as Arizona already glanced at her watch for the third time . From the outdoor space of the Greek Restaurant , Arizona found herself stalking the two representative from NST . The man must be Michael Schuester . Next to him was the girl from yesterday conference .

So here she was right now , waiting and hoping for Callie to showed up . Arizona had spent all night investigating where the heck Callie was currently staying . At first she thought that Callie was staying at her father's hotel , The Empire . But she already went there in Manhattan and asked the receptionist and the result was negative . Unless if the receptionist lied to her .

Arizona was in her gray sweater . She pulled the hoodie up when she saw they suddenly stood up . Where is Callie ? They look like they are about to leave now . She quickly took out her phone but stopped midway when she remembered that Callie changed her phone number already . So , it was useless for her to dial that number . Her old number .

"She didn't come . I think we should start focusing on finding another writer ." Michael said to Amanda as they walked side by side . Amanda wrote down something on a small note book as she nodded .

Arizona sighed , she had no other choice but to took out her big gun a.k.a her private investigator . She fished the phone out of her pocket and as usual , her P.I was on her speed dial . The last time she used her P.I on Callie was almost five months ago . Arizona had stopped using the P.I to gained more information about the Latina as she respected Callie's request .

A few seconds of dialling , the call was finally answered by a thick Australian accent . "Ryan , I need you to dig something for me ." Arizona quickly said . "I need you to find out everything about NST for me and … Callie , I need you to track her down . Send me address . I will be waiting ."

She ended the call once she heard the positive respond from Ryan , Arizona sat back . Ryan told her that he needed half an hour , and he would call Arizona back . The blonde gripped on her phone , worried that she might missed a call from Ryan .


Thoughts ?
I hope I wrote Callie as reasonably harsh in this chapter . Next chapter will be better for our #Calzona

p/s : She asked me once , why I always mentioned New York in most of my stories .. Well , I love New York , that city has always been close to my heart and I don't even know why . Still hoping that I could visit NYC with you . One day , maybe one day . Hope is always there , just like my feeling for you .
