Chapter 8.

Hiding from Callie had to be one of the hardest things. That night she had tried to call me so many times, that I lost count. I even turned off my phone. Randy made me change my phone number, so no one could get ahold of me. I tried to listen to one of the voicemails that Callie had left, but upon hearing her start to cry I couldn't.

I deleted all of the voice mails as well as everything that related to Callie. I had to stay with avoiding her, for her protection. Everything that I was doing right now was to make sure that she would stay safe. I really didn't care if I died at this point, but I did about Callie.

Trying to hide from her was going to be harder than I thought.

Everywhere that I was it seemed that, that's where she would be. I could turn a corner at the hospital and she would be standing their talking to Mark everytime.

Looking upset.

I know the reason.

Me.

How I wished I could go over to her and hug her or even try to make everything better, but I couldn't. I was the one that made her upset, I was the one that hurt her. Everything that she was going through was because of me. Nothing was Callie's fault. I was the reason that she was in danger. Me. I felt as if I screwed up the lives of the ones that I cared most about. everything was my fault.

I knew that I wasn't going to be able to hide from her forever. i was just hoping that she would give it at least a week or so. Today, has not been a good day.

When Randy woke up this morning she was in a extremly bad mood. Taking it out on me as soon as she saw me. Lets just say that my old bruises have company with the new ones. Their probably shaking hands with each other. I have no idea what upsetted Randy this morning, but I'm pretty sure that I will find out later.

I have been at the hospital since noon, and its only eight thirty. I still have eight more hours. Today has been an especially slow day, which is very unusual. but im not complaining. That means i can catch up on some sleep that I haven't been able to get for the past week. Sleep sounded soooooo good.

I headed to my on-call room that only two people knew about Callie and Mark. I had maybe been asleep for an hour when...

"What did I do?" Callie's voice rang out to me.

"why is it, it always happens in an on-call room" I said aloud not really talking to anyone in perticular

"What?" she asked. I turned to face her and i gasped. She had been crying.

"How long have you been in here?" I asked. Not looking at her.

"About a half an hour. That's not the point. You didn't answer my question. What did I do to piss you off for you to not want to talk to me or even be around me?"

"You did nothing Callie. Nothing at all" I said in truth.

"Why?" how was I gonna answer that question.

"Don't. Please Don't. Just take it as it is. That's all I can say to you." I never made eye contact with her. I couldn't. To afraid that she would find out my dirty secret if I looked at her. She didn't need to know. No one needed to know. But knowing Callie as long as I had I knew that she wuldn'y just leave it as it was.

"Don't what? What are you not telling me? You and Mark both. Whatever I did I'm sorry. I want my friend back. I need my friend back. Please Arizona. I need you." tears oh how I hate you!

"I can't be your friend anymore Callie. Just leave me alone." I laid back down, well tried to at least. Callie slipped her hand behind my back and caught me scooting me toward her, making it to where I was forced to look in her eyes. I was still in a laying down position.

"Please Arizona." She whispered to me. I just hugged her then got up to leave. Not once, but twice now I left the woman i loved in hysterics. She was not going to get hurt on my account because of me. So i needed her to think I didn't want anything to do with her. I needed to quite her like cold turkey. That's all there was to it. I started to walk towards the peads floor when I was yanked into another on-call room.

"What the fuck" was all I said.

"How could you hurt her like that? After everything that she's done for you?" Marks voice boomed from behind me.

"That's the point Mark. Everything she has done for me. You and I both know the reason for why. So stop acting like you don't." I said getting angry.

"Arizona, she loves you!" Mark yelled this time. i had never thought that she would love me only as a friend maybe but nothing more.

"I love her too, but I will not let anything happen to her, or you. Now if you need anything else I need to go." I said reaching for the door handle.

"What do you mean Arizona? What do we have to do with anything?" he asked curiously.

"Everything, Mark. Both of you will not get hurt because of me. I will not allow that. I'm protecting the things I love. i was raised to be a good man in a storm and if that means that I get burned in the process then that's a risk I am willing to make."

"You either tell her or I will. She has a right to know. you at least owe her that much." Mark said

"Now I owe her more than I am worth and that's what I'm trying to do." with that said I walked out of the door.

"Arizona!" Mark yelled but I just kept walking. He was right though, I should tell her. I needed to tell her, but i wont. I owe to much to lose her. Wheather anybody realizes it or not.

Later that night after an exhausting day I went home and made dinner for Randy and myself. I heard the door close and I inwardly cringed. I didn't know what to expect with Randy's moods. I heard giggling coming from the living room so I made my way out there. What I saw kinda blew my mind. Randy had some other woman on the couch straddling her waist while kissing her.

"What the fuck is this?" they both sprang apart.

"Hey babe, this is danielle. She will be joining us for dinner." Randy said as if nothing was going on. She didn't even look guilty.

"Um, i don't think so. Danielle get the fuck out of my appartment before I drag you out by your hair!" I was so pissed that I started to shake.

Randy swiftly got off the couch and made it towards me. I wasn't paying any attention to her as I was still eye balling the mystery brunette across from me. Randy grabbed my arm and lead me to the kitchen.

"Who do you think you are. She is a guest and you do not speak to guests in such a manner. you got it." Still holding my arm she gave a very tight squeeze.

"You know damn well that she is not a guest. She's just some bimbo that you brought back probably from some sleezy bar to fuck in our apartment. I don't think so. Get her the fuck out of here before I do." I stated. At this point Randy probably broke my arm without me even noticing.

"Excuse me? You did not just say that to me."

"Yes, I believe I just did."

"So, it's fine and dandy that you are allowed to cheat, but if i bring it to you front and center without going behind your back you have a problem with it?" she asked

"For one, I DID NOT CHEAT ON YOU! For two, I do not appreciate this at all. Get her the fuck out now. Then after wards you can do the usual beat me and then we can get this shit over with. Hell beat me unconsious that way at least I can get some sleep rather than be a morning ritual with you physical and mental abuse. So please lets get this over with." I was so angry that I wasn't even registering what I was saying. i din't even know what I was saying. All I saw was red.

"We will have a quiet dinner. Danielle and I are going to fuck like bunnies if I want and you wanna know what else, You are going to watch. I'm gonna make you watch every single bit of it. So that way youknow what your duty should be. Now finish dinner while i entertain our guest." She started to walk out thinking that was her final word.

"No, im leaving you finish dinner yourself, fuck all you want but im not going to be here when you do it." I through my towel that I had in my hand down on the stove and started to shove past Randy.

"Did you forget about what I told you?"

"Their has been so many so please enlighten me." I stated. I knew that I was going to pay for how I was speaking toward her, but at this point I didn't care

"Callie and Mark" was all she said. About a week ago Randy bought somethings and put them in a lock box. She labled it 'Callie and Mark' and left it on my side of the bed as a reminder of why i'm still with her.

"Don't make me cause you know i will. I'll get the box ready" I started to panic.

"ok you win" i said quietly.

SLAM

My head went into the stove top.

"I always win baby, now go get yourself cleaned up for our guest." Randy said and I did as was told. My forehead started to bleed since the corner caught it. It hurt dont get me wrong, but of all the other things that she has done to me, that was just a scratch.

The rest of the night was such a haze. I knew that I probably had a concussion. Actually I knew that I had one. Their were bits and pieces that I could remember. Thank god, when after dinner Randy and Danielle's late night romp came I coudnt remember any of it. Even though Randy tied me to a chair. My thoughts for that entire night went to a certain person. One that I knew would treat me as if I were royal and I her. I tried to remember her smile the most. How much I would love to put it on her face at this moment. How just to give her a hug would feel right now. Everything that I was day dreaming about ended up being Callie.

Danielle left, which just left Randy and I.

"what happened tonite, will not be the first time. I will be having guests over and you will treat them with respect. Do you understand? you will not give an out burst like you did earlier. For your actions earlier, you will be punished. I will not be gentle. When you get off work early i expect dinner to be made as well as the house cleaned. their will be no back talking or talking at all. The only thing you are allowed to say is either yes ma'm or no ma'm got it?"

"Yes ma'm"

After my thought's went back to Callie. Randy at this point made it a point to make sure I had no marks on my body where they would be seen and for people to ask any questions. Then finally as pain as well as tiredness came over me I saw it, I saw her smile.
