AN: Hey guys, that's what I call a feedback! I am really happy you guys enjoyed the last chapter, I wasn't sure about that but now I see I did the right thing. I am really glad you liked Clara, I will for sure include her more in this story. Now, for this new chapter, things will change a little, at first it will seem a little thrown but don't worry, it will make sense with the following chapters.

AN2: I know that many of you are looking foward for Calzona to be together in this fanfic, but I can't rush things. I have a storyline planned that I can't change, because I believe that a good story has to have a good base and that's what I am trying to do. So, just bare with me and the so wished Calzona will come sooner then you expect. Anyways, as promised yesterday, here is the next chapter. Enjoy!

Callie's POV

Today hasn't been an easy day. After the crazy night last night I don't even know how I got up this morning in time to go to work. I don't even remember how I made it home last night but I am glad I did... As I look at my reflection in the mirror I swear to myself that I am never going to drink again... ever! But that just a promise I'm sure I will break.

As the day went by I couldn't help but notice the change in Arizona's behavior, which makes me wonder if I did something wrong last night. I want to go and ask her but she's been so closed off during the day that I'm afraid I'm just going to make it worse.

I have to confess that her turning me down twice today kinda hurt... for a lack of a better word.

So to try to forget today and hope that tomorrow things will be back to normal, I decide to take that drink.

"Hey Torres!" Mark says as he approaches me. "Surprised to see you here."

"Hey Mark! Yeah, I finally decided it was time to come down here and see this bar you always talked about." I say, giving him a small smile.

"Yeah, this is a nice place, I like to come here when I have too many things going on in my head."

"Well, I guess I came here for the right reason then."

"Why, is there something wrong?" He asks me with concerned eyes as he takes the seat next to mine.

"No, it's just..." I stop for a little to think how I'm going to explain this to my friend. "Did I do anything wrong last night?"

"What?" He asks confused. "No, you were normal. I mean, your normal drunk self..."

"Are you sure? Because I think I did something wrong... I think I did something wrong with Arizona."

"What are you talking about?"

"She was all weird today... barely spoke a word to me. When I asked her to grab a coffee she said she had some paparwork to do, which I know it's bull because she is too organized to let paperwork acumulate. But I let it go, didn't push. Then, later, I asked her if she wanted to come and grab a drink with me, she said she already had plans. I mean... that's not her. She's perky and talkative and she seemed to like when we hung out together for coffee or anything. But today she was just... off."

"Oh," He says with a little smile appearing on his face. "she seemed off?"

"Yes." I answer. " And what's it with the smile?"

"It's just that I might know the reason why she's acting weird around you."

"What? What are you talking about?" It was my turn to ask the question.

"It's just that last night, I might have touched a subject that I shouldn't..."

"Oh God, please don't tell me you tried hitting on her?! Come on Mark! Your girlfriend was there, how could you-"

"Hey!" He says, stopping my ramble. "Can I finish, please?" I just nod. "I didn't try hitting on her, I know she is into ladies. Actually last night I got the real proof of that."

"You saw her with someone?" I ask, I couldn't help my interest.

"No, I didn't." He says, making my heart slow a litte. Why did it get too fast in the first place?

"Okay, then..."

"When you were too busy at the dance floor, moving your body to the sound of the beat, I stayed at the table with her. At a certain point I went to get a drink and when I came back I saw her staring at something. But she was like, really staring as if eating the person with her eyes, like a hungry wolf ready to jump to its prey."

"A woman?"

"Yes, a woman. And not just any woman." He says with his gaze meeting mine.

"Who was it?" I ask, with the beat of my heart faster again.

"Come on, Torres!" He says in annoyance. "You're not that slow!"

I think for a second as he just stares at me, until it clicks in my head. No, that can't be.

"Me? She was staring at me?!" I ask almost yelling and getting some attention from the people around. "She was staring at me?" I ask again, with my voice a little lower and my cheeks getting red because of the unwanted attention I got.

"Almost drooling. I even offered her a napkin" He says naturally, taking a sip of his drink.

"You did what?!"

"What was I supposed to do? Pretend I didn't see what was going on?"

"Um, yes." I say giving him a slap in the arm. "I can't believe you did this, Mark! That's why she's been avoiding me, she is embarassed and it's all your fault!" I give him another slap.

"Hey! Would you stop slapping me?"

"You deserve much more than that." I say giving him a hard look. "I still can't believe you did this, now she's going to think I know about it and she's going to be embarassed and she will keep walking away from me."

"Slow down, Torres. She will come along."

"No, she won't, Mark!" I say looking at him straight in the eyes. "You know how long it took me to find another real friend? Someone that enjoyed being around me not because of my money but because of who I truly am. We were getting along well Mark, it felt good talking to her. Don't get me wrong, it is good to talk to you too but it was different. I don't know why, but it felt different."

"You don't know why... or you don't want to let yourself believe why? Because I can clearly see the answer and I'd be glad to tell you."

"Mark, it can't- I..." I can't find a word to explain what I'm thinking. There are too many things going on in my head right now that I just can't find the words.

"Well, it wouldn't be the first time." He reminds me of a time in the past I'd rather to forget.

"Mark, please..." I say trying to avoid my friend's gaze. "I don't wanna talk about it."

"Torres, why not?" He says, taking my chin with his finger making me look at him. "She's not-"

"Don't. Don't say her name." I tell him. "And why should I try, Mark? Just to get hurt again? Don't you remember how that all turned out? How it took me a long time to trust someone again?"

"You can't live the present afraid of the past. You need to go out there and try again."

"But what if it happens again? I don't think I'll be able to handle it Mark. In every relationship I got into after that I was afraid that the same thing would happen again. I didn't trust my partner, and there's no relationship if there's no trust. That's the base of it all."

"You said it yourself, that it felt different with her, that it feels good. Why not give it a try? And if it happens again? It will hurt but I'll be here to catch you as many times as you need me. That's what big brothers are made for, right?" He says giving me a warm smile.

"Yes, it is."

"So, put yourself out there and go for it."

"You really think I should?"

"Why shouldn't you?"

I give him a smile and stand up. "Thank you for everything." I say heartfully, giving him a kiss on the cheek and getting my stuff.

"Hey, where are you going? I just got here, we have more drinks to catch!" He calls after me.

"I'm going to call Arizona." I say loud enough for him to hear me through the music playing in the bar.

AN3: That's it for now. What do you think? Now Callie knows what happened the night before and is determined to go and call Arizona. But what would she say? Would she have what to say? That's what we'll see on the next chapter ;)

AN4: I wanted to know if you guy's would like me to post an unbeta-ed chapter so you can tell me if it's too hard to understand or not. English isn't my first language so I use a beta reader, which makes you guys wait for two people to finally be allowed to read a new chapter. So I thought that maybe I could try and post one and if it isn't too bad, keep posting like that. At least the updates will come a little faster. If it's really hard for you to understand, I keep using the beta. What do you guys think?
