Title: Behind Those Eyes
Disclaimer: I do not own Grey's Anatomy.
Summary: "Don't scream." whispered a sultry voice, making Arizona go weak in the knees. "It'll all be over before you know it." She spoke, her teeth grazing Arizona's neck.
A/N: So you guys, I know it's been like 9 months since there's been an update, and honestly I wasn't planning on even updating but because I have a very convincing friends, and some very convincing followers… I decided that for those who are still interested in the story that I should post an update. I'm so sorry for the delay, and I thank you guys who have decided to stick with this story.
There's something I can't see
There's something different in the way you smile
Behind those eyes you lie
Addison sat down on Callie's bed leaning back on the headboard. Callie glanced at Addison, sitting down next to her on the bed. "So, what brings you to Seattle, Washington?" Callie questioned.
Addison looked at Callie with a nervous glance. "Well…" she started off, "I have some bad news."
Callie stared at Addison, waiting for her to continue. Addison wasn't usually the type to be nervous. She was usually the one who was confidant and knew what to do. And seeing Addison so nervous made Callie more on edge than she had already been.
"Bad news? How bad is bad news?" Callie asked. She couldn't think of anything that could be so bad that would make Addison come to Seattle to see her friend, after four years.
After a few moments had passed and Addison still hadn't said a word. She wasn't sure how she expected Callie to take this news. She sighed and let out a breath. "Well, you're going to find out sooner or later." She mumbled under her breath, more to herself than to Callie.
"What'd you say?" Callie asked having not heard what the redhead said. "Nothing… Nothing." She said, shooting her a small smile. She looked at Callie and put a hand on her shoulder. "Cal, before I tell you this you have to promise me you won't freak out. Ok?"
Callie eyed Addison suspiciously. Of course she trusted her best friend, but she didn't know exactly what she would be saying that for. "Okay…" she said, trailing off and narrowing her eyes. Addison looked at the brunette and took in a deep breath. "Do you remember Selena?"
The mention of the person who ruined her life made her blood run cold. She shivered and nodded meekly. Though Selena was terrible and deserved what happened to her, she didn't feel right about what happened that night. But Selena had been out of control and she had to be stopped. At least, that's what she had been trying to convince herself.
"Yeah.. Yeah, what about her?" She asked, not sure what Selena had to do with this bad news. She stared at Addison, wanting her to stop dancing around the subject and just spit out what she needed to say already.
Addison let out a shaky breath and took her hand off of Callie and took a step forward, wary of what might happen. "She's still alive."
Confusion showed on Callie's face as she tried to figure out how that could be so. She was dead. She had to be dead. She saw when Addison had pushed her into the tree. She hadn't been moving. She couldn't still be alive. And after all of this time. "W-What? She's…but… what?" Callie stuttered, falling back to sit on her sofa.
"Callie, she's alive. Saw her myself. I didn't believe it at first, I thought that they were just rumors. But then there was something about her looking for information. Information about you."
The world was spinning for Callie as she tried to make sense of this situation. Nothing that happened made sense. She didn't understand how why, after all of this time, would Selena just now let it known that she's still alive. Why not earlier when she had first made plans to move to Seattle.
Callie looked at Addison, and she noticed the fear in her eyes. "Hey Cal, don't worry. Ok? I've gotten a job at the same Hospital that you work at as a surgeon. We're in this together, alright?" There was no response from the latina. She just sat there as if she had seen a ghost.
As if she had just gotten shocked, Callie shot up in her seat. "Arizona!" Addison raised an eyebrow and looked at Callie. "Arizona? We're not going to Arizona. All there is there is heat and sun." Callie rolled her eyes as she scanned her apartment.
"No, no. Not the state. The girl." She said, her words slurring together. Addison looked at Callie in confusion. "Arizona the girl? There's a girl named Arizona? Whoa there Speedy Gonzales, would you like to fill me in before you go into panic mode?"
Callie ran her hands through her hair, and let out a shaky breath. "Remember the blonde? The blonde that Selena nearly killed the night that you pushed her into that tree?" Addison furrowed her eyebrows, trying to think back. "Yeah… Yeah, the one who was laying on the floor with a low pulse rate? What about her?"
Callie shook her head and looked down. "Selena nearly killed her, Addie." Not getting where Callie was going with this, she narrowed her eyes and nodded her head slowly. "Yes… and?" Callie let out a frustrated sigh, running her hand through her hair once again and started pacing. "She's not dead! She's still alive. Alive, breathing, in Seattle and working at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital."
Realization hit Addison in a wave and she mumbled incoherently under her breath. "Shit. I thought for sure she was a goner when we had left her." Callie let out a sarcastic chuckle and rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah, well she's really dead right now. Totally. Must be her twin." She said, once again sitting down on her sofa.
Addison glared at Callie, getting aggravated with her attitude. "No need for the attitude problem, Cal." She said. Callie waved her off and stayed sitting, her head in her hands, in deep though. "And what does Arizona have to do with anything? She's not the one that Selena's after, Callie. She's after you. And besides, Arizona is just a hum-" Callie's eyes flashed to Addison, anger hidden deep in them.
Addison swallowed hard, forgetting how intouch Callie was still with humans. She put her hand on Callie's shoulder. "She has nothing to worry about, Callie. She's not in danger." Tears swelled up in Callie's eyes. She knew that Arizona wasn't in any real danger.. Not yet anyways, but she had a bad feeling. And usually whenever she had that bad feeling, something bad happened.
Callie looked up at Addison, and the redhead could see the sadness in her eyes. Callie blew out a breath and started talking slowly. "She started working here weeks ago… And I managed to avoid her. For a while too. But then we were on the elevator together, and she pushed the emergency button. She pushed it and started asking questions. So many questions. We were so close, and I wanted her to remember that night so I-" Addison looked at Callie in shock. "Callie no. Please don't tell me… Did you bite her?" She said, cutting off her best friend. The sadness in Callie's eyes were answer enough for Addison. "Callie…" Addison started, rubbing Callie's back.
Callie shrugged off Addison's hand and shook her head. "It was just a graze… They barely pierced through. I treated her like Selena did. And then she freaked and before I could say anything she walked off. I was so hungry, Addison. "
Addison gave Callie a small smile and then sighed. "So she knows you're a…?" Callie shook her head furiously. "God no. She probably thinks that I'm some freak that bites people neck…" She let out a chuckle, and in spite of herself, smiled at the thought of Arizona.
Addison saw the look on Callie's face and shook her head. "No. Oh no. No. Callie!" Callie looked up at Addison, confused. "What? What did I do?" she said, looking around at herself, wondering what would make Addison react like that. "You're falling for her."
Callie scoffed, and looked the other way avoiding Addison's eyes. "Psh. What? Addison. I don't like her. She's so.. so perky. And so annoying. And she called me a bitch and slapped me. And we've never even talked!" Addison raised an eyebrow at Callie, trying to figure out if she should believe her or not.
Deciding to drop the subject, Addison looked past Callie out of her window. "Well good because she's not in any trouble right now. But if you do end up liking her and Selena somehow finds out, she's going to use her as leverage." Callie gulped and her shoulders dropped. She looked over and smiled sadly.
"Well, good thing I don't like her or anything." She mumbled, sighing. Looking up, she could see the wheels turning in Addison's head. Deciding to ignore it, Callie spoke quietly. "Are you sure she's alive and knows where I am?" she said, fear hidden in her tone.
Addison sat down next to Callie, and pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry, Callie. We're going to get through this. Together. That's what friends are for, right? I'll be damned if she hurts you." Addison said in a confident tone.
Callie smiled slightly and Addison's words as she leaned into the embrace. She couldn't help it as her mind drifted to a certain blonde. She couldn't understand why she cared so much about her. It'd be safer for everyone if she didn't.
