Calzona: I'm just an object

The Realization

Callie's POV:

I cannot believe the words that just came out of my wife's mouth.

"I cheated on you"

Those words ring in my mind and I see Arizona start to tear up. Seriously, how is she the one crying right now? She cheated on ME. She hurt ME. I can't even look at her, she...she disgusts me at this time.

Arizona: (shakily, through sobs) Calliope, please look at me.

Callie: (no response)

Arizona: (sobs) Calliope...please. I messed up, this is my biggest mistake and regret of my whole life and I feel terrible and you didn't deserve it. But, please. I love you. I love you and I need to be able to make it up to you. So, please. Say something...say anything. I'll do anything to make it up to you. I'll apologize to you every single second of every single day if that's what you need, I'll-

Callie: (cuts off Arizona, angrily screams) NO! SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! JUST...JUST GIVE ME SPACE. I NEED TIME TO TO TO PROCESS AND THINK AND BREATHE AND JUST STOP LOOKING AT ME, STOP TALKING TO ME, STOP ARIZONA JUST STOP.

And with that, before Arizona could reply, Callie left the on-call room angrily and slammed the door behind her. Creating an echoing boom throughout the on-call room. Arizona fell backwards and slid down the door, breaking down and choking on sobs. She couldn't breathe without Callie. Callie is the love of her life, how could she do this? Just the flashbacks that Arizona was having of screwing Lauren, made her want to vomit. She wanted nothing more than to go back in time and not make that stupid mistake.

However, Arizona had not lost hope. Callie just said she needed space and time to think. So, there's even the slightest possibility that Callie will forgive her. That was the only thing keeping Arizona alive right now. What has she done?

She looks up at the clock in the on-call room and it reads 02:28am. Well, she starts rounds tomorrow at 8am, she better head to bed. Nothing more she can do. She gets on the bottom bunk of one of the beds, and doesn't even bother to take off her prosthetic. She cries herself to sleep as she knows tomorrow will be torture, with everyone finding out and facing Callie again will be a whole other challenge.

Slowly, sleep takes over Arizona and the next torturous day is just on the horizon.
