Calzona : FanFiction

Chapter Fourteen

Arizona

I wake up.
Panic.
I sit up with a start, my eyes darting around the room.
Where am I?
Why is my waist in a bandage?
Where is Whitney?
Is she here?
Please don't be here.
Calliope.
Where's Callie?

My eyes fly open.
"CALLIOPE?"
Almost immediately, I feel someone by my bedside wake up.
"CALLIOPE!!!"
A lamp turns on and light floods the room.
I turn to see the Latina next to me, standing up with worried eyes.
I breathe out slowly.
"I thought Whitney might have f-found me. I thought y-you left!!" I say frantically, tears running down my face.
"Okay." Callie says softly. "It's okay, I'm here."
I wrap my arms around myself. "C-can you lie down with me?"
Calliope looks at the bed unsure.
"Never mind." I whisper quietly. "Can you at least go get Mark?"
She shakes her head. "This is my job. Not his."
Scooting me over, she climbs into the hospital bed and lays on her side, looking down at me, who was on my back.
She runs her fingers through my hair.
I look up at her beautiful dark eyes as she strokes my hair, oh so softly humming a tune.
"Calliope." I breathe.
"Hmm?" She asks, raising her eyebrows.
"Thank you. I know you hate me. You don't have to - you don't have to do this."
"Arizona, I'm here. Go to sleep. I'm not going anywhere. I promise. Okay?"
I nod into her shoulder softly.
She switches off the light, then gets deeper in the covers and pulls me to her warm body. "Good night, Arizona."
