Saving Calzona's Family

Chapter 21- Through The Dark

Callie's POV:
I find myself waking up to an empty bed. The space that was slept in last night, has gone cold. I shuffle down the stairs, confused. And I'm left speechless when I find her stuffing a suitcase. "Arizona... W-What are you doing?" She wipes away tears and she agitates herself when the case won't close properly. I walk over and grab her arm. She pulls away instantly. "I-I said what are you doing, Arizona?!" She flings herself around. "I'm leaving!" She heaves the case onto the floor. "Arizona..." I choke on her words, and rest my hand on my fast beating heart. "Y-You can't... I-I love you. What about all this?" She rolls the case to the door, and I run against the door. "Callie..." I sob and watch the pain in her eyes increase. She doesn't want to do this. "A-Arizona, please... don't do this... for me... please, Arizona..." My voice breaks when I say her name. She pushes me away, and slams the door closed after her exit. I rush after her, and I catch her before she gets in the taxi. As the driver loads the objects she was filling not 10 minutes ago, she begins to walk towards me. Her lips crash against mine, and I cry even more. She grabs my hand, and brings it up to in between our faces. "You are the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'm sorry, for everything I put you through." I shake my head in heartbreak. "You are everything I needed, but I'm not everything you needed. So, go. Go find someone worthy of your love, because I'm clearly not. But promise me something." At this point, I can barely see with all the tears filling my face. "Promise me that you won't text or call or write. Promise me that you won't try find me. Promise me that you won't forget me. And promise me, that you'll never forget the love we had." And with that, she leaves me and enters the taxi. As the car begins to move, I run after it, shouting. "I love you!" The car stops. The window slides down. "I love you too." The car begins to move once again. I collapse to the bare gravel, and I just lay there. What did I do to deserve this? I loved her so much. Correction. I love her. And I always will...
You tell me that you're sad and lost your way
You tell me that your tears are here to stay
But I know you're only hiding
And I just wanna see you
You tell me that you're hurt and you're in pain
And I can see your head is held in shame,
But I just wanna see you smile again
See you smile again
But don't burn out
Even if you scream and shout
It'll come back to you
And I'll be here for you
Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way through the dark
