It had been a week since Callie had proposed to Erica. It had also been a week since Callie had last talked to Arizona. That worried Callie. They usually talked all the time every day. She really missed her best friend and wondered why she kept avoiding her. She didn't even come into the cafeteria at lunch and Arizona was always starving by lunch time. Arizona was also ignoring her texts and every time Callie would try to make plans, Arizona either had a surgery to do or she had a date. Callie definitely didn't like the last reason that she was avoiding her.
The avoidence had gone until the day where Callie had walked into an on-call room to catch some sleep, only to find her best friend curled up on a bed, crying with her back to Callie. She locked the door behind her and went to the bed Arizona was on. Callie started rubbing her back. It calmed her down a bit, like it always did, her muscles relaxing under her fingertips. Callie always had that effect on her.
Arizona kept her back to her as Callie began to speak, "I knew something was wrong. You haven't talked to me for a week." She stated with a sigh as she laid down behind her and hugged Arizona from behind.
"I can't talk to you." Arizona managed in a mere whisper and closed her eyes.
"You don't have to talk to me about it. It's okay." Callie reassured her, hugging her closer to her.
Arizona suddenly got up and shook her head, wiping the tears off of her face. She kept her back to Callie as she reached for the door knob. She then turned back to her. "No I mean we can't talk anymore." She gestured to both of them. Arizona sighed and walked out of the room before Callie could respond.
Callie came out of the room as soon as Arizona was looking for an elevator to flee to. "Arizona, what's wrong?" She grabbed Arizona's wrist, gently to get her to look at her. Arizona avoided the eye contact and faced her.
Just as Callie did, she noticed Erica turn the corner and approached Callie. Erica kissed her cheek and smiled, "I'm going to be working all so I won't be home until the morning. I guess I'll see you tomorrow." She gave Callie a look of sympathy before she glared at Arizona. She glared for a few seconds and then left.
Arizona took the oppurtunity of Erica glaring at her to leave. She didn't feel like watching them be affectionate and she couldn't stand the glare that Erica was giving her. She made her way to the nearest elevator, but before the elevator doors shut Callie appeared. The doors shut and Callie pulled the Emergency stop button and turned to Arizona.
"Why can't we talk Arizona?" Callie asked and sighed running a hand through her hair. "What changed?"
"It doesn't matter. Nothing has changed. We're still friends and everything.." she still didn't look at Callie.
Callie took a deep breath and nodded. "I know. Why don't you talk to me?" She asked, tilting Arizona's chin up so she would look into her eyes.
Arizona's blue eyes finally met Callie's chocolate brown eyes. "I can't talk to because I want you to be happy, even if I'm not." Arizoona said with a tear coming down her cheek.
Callie wiped the tear away with a confused look on her face. "But you not talking to me doesn't make me happy at all. I need to talk to my best friend again.. You stopped answering my text messages Ari." The expression on Callie's face was one of extreme hurt.
"I've uh been busy.. Surgeries.. dates. You know?" Arizona offered with a nervous look on her face. Callie could see through the lie and shook her head. She knew she couldn't lie to Callie and sighed as more tears came down her face. "You're getting married. I'm happy for you because now you get the family you always wanted. And I'm still dating, which is great, really. But when you come home to an empty bed, you realize that you'll never have a family or anything. You are my family but now we can't be because you have your own now." She pulled the stop button out and waited for the elevator to move to her floor.
"Arizona..." Callie whispered but Arizona looked away from Callie's stare.
"Don't. It's the truth and it will be. I'm glad you're happy though and your wife will be too." Arizona wiped all of her tears away. "We can't be friends anymore Callie." More tears welled into her eyes. "Bye.." She whispered as she walked off the elevator.
