Tell Me You Love Me

Chapter 1

You know when you were a kid and you believed in fairy tales? That fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who'd carry you away to a castle on a hill. You'd lie in your bed at night and close your eyes, and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Clause, the tooth fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them. But eventually, you grow up, and one day, you open your eyes, and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is, its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely, because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope and faith that one day they would open their eyes and it would all come true.

At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realise that the fairy tale is slightly different than your dream. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important that it's happily ever after, just that it's happy right now. See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you. And once in a while, people may even take your breath away.

Arizona POV

"Arizona, hurry up, we are going to be late." Callie shouts from downstairs. I roll my eyes as I grab my football boots. They are white with a gold tick on both sides, rather smart if you ask me. I made sure I had everything, and then I took one last look in the mirror, making sure my hair was good before leaving my room. I'm a princess when it comes to my hair. It has to be perfect, it drives Callie mad, and I find that rather funny.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," I call as I run down the stairs.

"I'd like to get to footy training on time for once," she sighs, picking her keys up from the side.

"Oh chill out," I reply as we walk out the door.

Me and Callie have been friends for about 12 years ever since we joined the same football team when we were 15. We instantly clicked and have been inseparable ever since. We both even went on to become paramedics, and luckily, most of the time, we worked together.  She's the only one that gets me, understands me. She's always been there for me whenever I need her, and visa versa. We have a really strong connection, we can tell what each other thinks just by looking at each other, our teammates and colleagues think it's creepy, I disagree. 

Football has always been a passion of mine, ever since I can remember. I could have made it pro, but stuff got in the way, and it never happened. So i decided to become a paramedic. However, if I could turn back time, I would have done things differently. Instead, I play for a local team on Sundays and train 2 nights a week, if I  can, and that works for me. It helps me switch off from my work, and sometimes I need that because being a paramedic is really challenging.

"finally your here," April laughs as we climb out the car.

"we're only 5 minutes late," 

"5 minutes to late" Callie huffs while getting her stuff from the boot.

"Oh, don't be grumpy, Torres." I laugh while prodding her in her side, making her laugh. 

"Come on, let's go," she smiles. God, her smile is amazing, so infectious. You can't not smile when you see it. 

We got our boots on and went to warm up, we did some passing drills, dribbling drills, and then my favourite... shooting drills, then we ended with a little game. just over an hour later, we finished and was just getting our stuff together when Karev, our coach, spoke.

"right ladies, great training today, an important game on Sunday the semi's, win it and we are in the final, so we need to be on top form" there was a mumble of yes coach. We all finished packing everything away before going our separate ways

"Nice tricks out there." Callie smiles

" I  can say the say about you"

 "You seeing George tonight?" I ask

"Yeah, but I think I'm going to end it. He's a nice guy, but just not for me," She replies. I would be lying if I said I wasn't happy about that.

"he's gonna be gutted, bless him," I say, trying to act sympathetic  

"I know, but we've only been seeing each other a couple of weeks, It would be more cruel to carry on, giving him false hope,"

"couldn't agree more," I smile. She just hummed and then put her arm around my shoulder as we carried on walking to the car. I instantly moved my hand up to meet hers that was draped over my shoulder and laced our fingers together. We get mistaken for a couple quite a lot, but it's just the way we are, and Plus, Callie is straight, so it's never gonna happen. 

Everyone knows I'm gay and I couldn't care less. When I was younger, I was terrified of coming out. I hid it for so long, and it started to slowly eat away at me. I had to pretend to be someone I wasn't, and that was so hard, until I couldn't take it anymore. It took me years to accept who I was, and when that happened, I felt so relieved, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Accepting myself was the first time in my life where I became truly happy with myself because even if people didn't accept me, I did,  and that's all that matters. It's not a choice even though many people think it is. it's who I was born to be, and even if it was a choice, I would choose to be a lesbian every single time. Why? because its fucking awesome. Women kiss so much better, taste better and know what women like....if you get my drift. I still dream of my fairy tale ending but I don't see a prince, I see a Queen, if people don't like that then they can go suck a dick.
