Chapter Two

Calliope

It was our first night together.
We were in my bed.
We were eating pepperoni pizza.
We were laughing.
We were naked.
We were bundled in blankets.
We talked and talked.
When we got tired, she laid down next to me.
She faced me.
She buried her face in my neck.
She wrapped her arms around my waist.
I inhaled her minty scent.
I rest my chin on the top of her head.
I wrap my arms around her too.
We just lay there.
Sleep slowly drifts to us.
We welcome it like an old friend.

I was woken up by her screaming.
I look at my clock to see that it was 3:52 AM.
I never forgot that.
3:52 AM.

"Arizona?"
I call out, switching on my bedside lamp.
Light floods the room.
I see the blonde on the floor.
In a corner.
Her arms wrapped around her knees.
Her head buried in her chest.
She was shaking.

"Stop!" She yells. "Stop it!!"

I get out of bed.
I sprint over to her.
I lay her nude body on the ground.
I swaddle her.
I take my hand and slap it against her face.
Her eyes fly open wildly.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please don't! I'm -"
She stops yelling.
She sees me above her.
She looks at her surroundings.
She sits up.
"You hit me."
She says blatantly like a child.
"Y-yeah I had to."
I stutter.
"You aren't the first one."
She whispers.
"To hit me."
I run my hands through my hair.
"Oh Arizona I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
I exclaim, tears running down my face.
"You were in a trance. You wouldn't wake up."
She looks up at me with wide blue eyes.
"It was no dream."
She explains.
"It was real. Once."
She clears her throat.
"It was a flashback."
