Sorry it took me almost a month to update. I have a new job, so things have been busy. I'm not crazy about this chapter…for some reason it was hard to write, but the next one should be better
Chapter 7
As Callie flew to Seattle, she wasn't quite sure what to expect. Her emotions were all over the place…she was feeling nervous, excited, guilty.
She lied to Charles saying that a hospital needed her for a consult and she would only be gone for a day. She wasn't quite ready to end things with Charles yet. She needed to see where things were going to go with Arizona first. She had debated calling Arizona to let her know she was coming to see her, but she figured it would be best to just show up. She knew she wouldn't answer her phone.
Callie prayed that everything would work out. Yes the confession from Arizona was something that had never been spoken, but Callie always knew there was something between them. There was this undeniable chemistry they had and she needed to see where it would take her.
I remember when I first learned Arizona was gay that I thought to myself if I had known when we were in high school that we probably would have dated. I don't know why it took me so long to see this.
"Would you like a drink ma'am?" The flight attendant asked bringing Callie out of her thoughts.
"Yes, a whiskey please?" Liquid courage is exactly what I need right now, Callie thought to herself.
After Arizona and Teddy had their veg out fest and movie marathon, Arizona knew she wasn't going to be able to sleep. So she decided to take a shift at the hospital to take her mind off of things.
The more she thought about it, the more she was realizing that she had overreacted a little bit. This was new for Callie and although she shouldn't have lied to her, her feelings were probably confusing.
It was just that there was always this thing between them and for Arizona it had been built up for so long. She would think about Callie often and wonder how she was doing. She would have dreams about her and in all of them they were together. When Arizona would wake up and realize it wasn't a reality, a sadness would come over her and she would feel like a piece of herself was missing. Arizona could just never shake the feelings she had for Callie.
Callie finally landed in Seattle after what felt like hours. She had Arizona's address and figured that was the best place to go. When she finally arrived, she stood at the door just staring at it. She was finally about to knock when the door opened.
"Can I help you?" asked the woman.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I must have the wrong apartment…I was looking for Arizona Robbins."
"No, you have the right apartment, but she's not here," she said with an attitude.
"Oh, um I didn't know she had a roommate," Callie said, completely put off by this woman.
"Well what makes you think I'm her roommate?" She asked with a devilish grin.
"Oh, um …" Callie was clearly at a loss for words. How could Arizona be so devastated by Callie's news when she clearly had someone else in her life too?
"Well I've got to go," Erica said as she left Callie standing there.
Callie wasn't sure what to do…should she stick around and try to see Arizona? Should she just forget it and leave? She was completely hurt that Arizona had lied to her, but she was tired of running from this. They needed to talk things out.
Callie decided to try the hospital, figuring Arizona needed to blow off some steam and what better way than picking up a shift in the ER.
When she finally got to Seattle Grace she could tell it was a busy night. People were everywhere, running all around. She tried to get someone's attention, but her attempts failed. She finally got a hold of someone, who said that Dr. Robbins was not at the hospital.
If only Callie had known that this nurse was new to the hospital and that she thought Dr. Robbins was the male attending in general surgery.
Callie didn't really know what to do, so she decided to go back to Arizona's apartment and wait for her. She had to come home eventually, if she wasn't there already.
Callie knocked on the door, but there was no answer. So, she sat down in the hallway and hoped that Arizona would come home soon.
Hours went by and absolutely nothing. As Callie looked at her phone she realized that her flight was going to be leaving in 2 hours and she needed to get to the airport. She could wait to leave, but she had to get back to the hospital. The only way she was able to come here in the first place was to take the night shift for someone else. Before she left though, she wrote Arizona a letter and stuck it under her door.
Callie reluctantly got up and made her way out of the building. She was definitely sad, but had hope that everything would work out.
God that was a long night, she thought to herself as she made her way into the apartment. When she walked in she noticed there was a piece of paper on the floor. She picked it up and saw it was a long letter from Callie.
Arizona is definitely not getting this, Erica thought to herself. Just then she heard someone entering the apartment and she quickly shoved the letter in her bag.
"Hey Erica, did you just get home?" Arizona asked.
"Yeah, busy night. You?"
"So busy…I'm going to take a hot bath and go to sleep. I'll see you later."
"Yeah, I'll see you. Maybe we can hang out later today?" Erica asked, hoping for Arizona to say yes.
"Yeah, that would be great! Good night."
"Good night! It's a date," Erica said quietly.
