Calliope
6:45
Fifteen minutes before she gets on stage for the TED conference

I check my phone for the fifteenth time.
No calls.
No texts.
No Facebook messages.
No Twitter likes.
Nothing.
Clicking on the contacts button on my phone, I scroll down to
Arizona 😍
Hitting the call button.

"Hello! This is Dr. Arizona Torres Robbins, if you get this voicemail, leave me your name, number, a brief message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can! Thank you, bye!"
Dial tone.

Arizona always had her phone on her and charged. Always.
And if she was already on the phone with someone, she would've sent me a text. They would always say "I love you, Calliope!" Just in case I was nervous or scared, so she immediately calmed my nerves.
Nope.
No text.
No call.

I scroll down my contacts.

"Hello?"
"Mark? Mark, it's me."
"Cal! Aren't you supposed to be practicing for your speec -"
"Arizona won't call me back. She won't return my calls. She promised me she would before I left this morning. You're her best friend, you know she never breaks promises. Mark, something is wrong."
"Okay. Tell me what to do."
"Go to my apartment. Make sure she's okay."
"Got it, Latina."
"Bye, Mark."
"Bye, Cal."
