I wake up to hearing something like a door close. I look over at the door which is located next to my bed, but I can’t really see anything in the darkness. I turn to look at my alarm clock and it says “2.30 am”. I stay silent, but I can’t hear anything. She’s not back yet. Maybe I was just dreaming it? It doesn’t take more than 2 minutes before I drift off to sleep again.
I wake up by feeling a warm body wrapping its arms around me. At first I get a bit scared. It woke me up. However, I can recognize that body even if I can’t see the face. It’s the same one that held me last night during my nightmares.
It’s Calliope.
Why is she holding me? I can feel that she is sobbing quietly. I turn to face her and she breaks down.
“I’m sorry, Arizona, I’m so sorry” She cries, I didn’t notice it before but she smells like a liquor company. What is she so sorry for? I can feel the anger rising in me. She left me. For what? To empty a bar? Now she came back drunk and is sorry for something. If she says it’s about our fight before then I wont believe her, there’s got to besomething else.
“Sorry for what Calliope? I know that you aren’t thinking about our fight before, which by the way, I’m still pissed about”. I say a bit harsh.
“Well I’m kind of sorry about that too”. She says before taking a pause. I’m giving her an ‘I’m waiting’ face. It’s the middle of the night and school starts tomorrow. She won’t be able to attend class if she can't miraculously bounce back from the hangover she’s going to have tomorrow. I’m still waiting for an answer. She takes my hand and intertwines her fingers with mine, they fit perfectly, but I’m still waiting.
“I did something…with someone.” She finally says.
I let go of her hand.

“So, you wanna get out of here or what?” All I can think about is Arizona and a million reasons why this is wrong. So wrong, wrong, wrong. I love Arizona. I’ve known her for 2 days, but I think it’s love or something very close to love. However, I’ve been drinking a lot tonight and James is giving me his puppy eyes. He almost makes better puppy eyes than me.
He leans in and now it’s up to me to close the gap. I take a deep breath before leaning forward. This is it, no going back.
I kiss him and I can feel that the kiss gets more intense. We keep on dancing while making out. One drunken guy in the corner yells something, but I don’t know what beacause I’m too drunk to focus on []more than one thing at the [] time. I can feel a vibration against my leg and look up at him. I knew that he was turned on, but this? He looks at me and gives out a soft laugh before taking something out of his pocket.
“I’m not that easy Callie, it’s my phone”. Of course “Hello….I’m at Joe’s….no it’s not a good time now….what do you want?....I don’t know if it’s a good idea….” Who is he talking to? I start to turn around, but he takes my arm and mouths that I should wait a second. Fine it’s not like I have any where else to be. After this they’re probably going to expel me anyways. “…Fine just to talk…I’ll be there in 20 minutes…bye..yeah…you too.” He murmurs the last two words. I can only imagine what he meant with it.
“Look Callie, I’m sorry…that was my ex I think that she might want us to get back together. Either that or its closure.” At least it was an ex.
“No problem James, go to the girl you love, maybe I’ll do the same”. He gives me a surprised face, but it vanishes quickly. He probably thought he was imagining my words. He gives me a dimpled smile.
“You’re a special girl Callie, you know that? One day you’ll make one guy…or girl, whichever you like, very happy. Here’s my phone number. We can maybe stay in the friends’ zone?” He writes his phone number on my hand before giving me a kiss on the mouth. Just a friendly kiss and walks away.
He made a choice, and now I have to make one. I don’t really know what I’m going to say to Arizona. If his ex hadn’t called who knows what would have happened. If something had happened, I know that I would have regretted it the next morning.

“I did something…with someone.” She lets go of my hands. I didn’t have sex with him, but why does it feel like I did? We just kissed and when I look into her eyes I don’t know how I could even kiss him. I mean sure he’s hot, but Arizona is Arizona. I can see that she gets upset, like really upset.
“What did you do?” Her voice is steady, her stare is blank.
“Firstly I was drunk, I am drunk and Arizona-“
“Just cut to the chase.” She interrupts me.
<>
She did something with someone; well, we were on a break. Which could have lasted forever, but she didn’t even wait 1 hour before running into someone else’s bed. Not only that, she has the nerve to start a sentence with the argument that she was drunk.
I just stare at her. I would cry, but I’m too tired right now.
“Just cut to the chase.” I’m not even sure I want to hear it.
“I kissed a guy.” She starts to cry even harder. She kissed a guy? At least she didn’t have sex with him, unless she’s lying to me. I can’t be sure about that. I can’t believe she could do that to me. It’s not cheating, but it was a slap in the face. I can’t even look at her now.
“I think you should go and lie down in your bed.” That’s all I can say before turning around to face the wall. I can feel her hand trying to turn me around, but I refuse.
“Arizona…I’m so sorry, it didn’t mean anything. It made me realize I want to be with you.” Is she for real? She needed to kiss a stranger to realize that she wants to be with me. I don’t turn around.
“Wow Callie, you just swept me off my feet with that comment. Get the hell out of my bed and away from me, before I throw you out”. I say with a low voice, but she could hear the sharpness in my voice.
I feel her getting out of bed and hear her walking over to her bed with heavy steps. When I hear that she has fallen asleep or passed out, I start to cry. I’ve been holding it inside me for a while, but thank god she fell asleep fast. I didn’t want her to hear me cry.
