Chapter Title: All we know is falling

Chapter 1
`*’ ~`*’ ~`*’ ~`*’ ~`*’ ~’*
Music’s like a drug, I overdose on your lyrics. You shoot it up, I breath it out. The heart’s where I feel it.
`*’ ~`*’ ~`*’ ~`*’ ~`*’ ~’*
The announcer speaks over the blaring noise of screaming fans introducing the singer everyone had been waiting to hear. The dim light begins to brighten, revealing a stunning woman wearing a beautiful blue dress that clung to her body in all the right places. Looking out in to the sea of adorning fans, she hears the music of her new single begin to play. Upon hearing the numerous amounts of marry me’s and the we love yous being shouted, a brilliant smile played across her lips as the lyrics fell flowed from her mouth. This is the place she loved to be most.
The jolts of electricity coursed through her body, as she feeds off the energy of the crowd. It was an all too familiar feeling that she would never grow tired of. She closed her eyes gently as she held the last note. Letting the melody slowly fade as the music came to an end.
“Ladies and gentlemen, Callie Torres.” the announcer speaks once again.
The curtain falls and the singer exits the stage and heads back to her dressing room.
“Erica please you can’t just quit on us. Whatever it takes we’ll even pay you double what we were paying” Callie walks in on her manager/ agent Lisa begging her former personal assistant, Erica, to reconsider. She didn’t really want Erica to reconsider after what had happened between them the night before last. Or at least that’s what she told herself.
Flashback
“No Callie, I can’t, we can’t do this anymore!” Erica yells at Callie whilst removing the remainder of her clothes from Callie’s closet.
“What do you mean?” Callie questions sadly, knowing exactly what Erica was saying. She had still hoped that maybe somehow she could be wrong about it.
“Callie I can’t be your secret anymore.” Erica looked up and locked eyes with Callie. “I have to go.” Erica said as she closed and zipped her suit case and proceeded to walk toward the door.
“No Erica, wait! Please.” Callie called after Erica as the blonde left the bedroom and headed down the stairs toward the front door. The Latina ran out of the bedroom to chase after Erica. She finally catches up to the blonde before she reaches the front door. “Please don’t go, I’m sorry…I just…I can’t tell everyone about you yet, but it isn’t like I don’t want to. I planned on telling the world, I just…I can’t yet. My career is just started going the way I’d dreamed and…”
Erica cuts Callie off. “And Lisa thinks that it would decrease the number of fans you have drastically so it best that you wait a while until you feel like you are comfortable enough to come out. Yea, I’ve heard it a thousand times over Callie.” The blonde looks sadly into her, soon to be former, lover’s eyes. “But I can’t stand it any longer. I can’t bear to see you have to kiss him and watch him be…so affectionate with you when we’re out and all I can do is just watch, just longing to be able to be the one to do those things with you in public. To be able to kiss MY girlfriend in public…tell my family and friends about you…I can’t even sit next to you when we’re at award shows because Lisa thinks I’ll slip up and touch or even look at you in an inappropriate way.” Erica says, her voice slightly rising in anger and more so in frustration.
Callie opens her mouth to say something to Erica, anything, but she can’t think of anything to say because the blonde is right, she closes her mouth not knowing what to say. After Erica’s had enough of watching Callie try to form words she deeply sighs and turns toward the door.
“Erica please, I love you.” Callie grabs Erica’s hand, stopping her from leaving. Erica takes in the sight of her beautiful former girlfriend’s running mascara, reddened nose and cheeks. She squeezed Callie’s hand.
“Sometimes love just isn’t enough…Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone your secret.” Erica abruptly turned, letting go of Callie’s hand, and left the condo without looking back. Callie watched as the door slammed shut, and the realization that Erica Hahn had not only walked out of her house, but she’d walked out of her life as well, had hit her hard. Callie fell to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably.
End Flashback
“Erica? Hello? ERICA?!” Lisa yells into the phone. “Damn it.” She turns around to see Callie standing there. “What did you do this time Callie?”
“Excuse me?” Callie stares at her inquisitively.
“Why did Erica quit, did you break her heart like you did the others. How many times do I have to tell you? Don’t get involved with people who work for you. You just can’t keep it in your pants can you…or in your case…you can’t keep them in your pockets.” Lisa scolds the singer.
“I didn’t break Erica’s heart.” Callie said firmly. “She broke mine.”
Lisa’s anger faded completely as she saw tears start to form in Callie’s eyes. She enveloped Callie in a hug. “I’m sorry. Everything’s going to be ok.” Lisa comforted Callie.
Callie pulled back once she felt stable enough. She wiped the remainder of the tears from her face and looked at Lisa. “I didn’t know she would just up and quit….I…I didn’t even see this coming…I thought we were so happy. I thought everything was going great. She told me she couldn’t deal with not being able to be with me in public. And that she couldn’t take the I didn’t know she felt that way about us...or maybe I did…I mean how could she not feel that way…I mean I kept her a secret…And my pretend relationship with Mark was out there for the world to see. How could I knot see that she was hurting? How could I be so stupid?” Callie rambled on as she went to sit down.
“Callie it’s not your fault. There’s no one to blame here. She couldn’t handle waiting and that’s ok, it’s understandable. She wanted to get away from the shining lights of fame and this is your dream come true and that’s ok too but…you know how the saying goes… Amare non è guardarsi l'un l'altro, ma guardare insieme nella stessa direzione.” Lisa said as she took a seat next to the Latina as she offered her Italian words of wisdom.
“Uhm no, I don’t know how the saying goes, how to pronounce it, nor do I have any idea what the hell you just said.” Callie puts her hand over her chest, “Spanish speaking person.” She removes her and briefly gestures to Lisa. “Italian speaking person…Maybe the language is a bit similar but definitely not similar enough for me to understand what you just said. So…English please.” Callie said causing Lisa to laugh.
“It means, love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.” The Blonde smiles at Callie.
“Ookay,” The Latina draws out. “Let’s try this again, English that’s actually comprehensible…what does that even mean?”
“I’m just saying that you and Erica weren’t on the same page. She wanted to settle down, move back to Seattle and start a family. And you want this” Lisa stretched out her arms as she referred to the lavish dressing room. “You and Erica may have loved each other but love means that special someone’s happiness makes you happy as well. She wanted you to give up what you strived for, what you’ve worked soo hard for, you deserve this. And if…if you and Erica are meant to be and she will be back, and more than willing to wait.” Lisa smiles reassuringly as she rubs Callie’s shoulder.
“Thank you,” The brunette returns a smile.
“Anytime.” Lisa said as she removes her hand from Callie’s shoulder and brings both hands to her thighs firmly creating a light tapping sound as she stands up and faces Callie.
“Well I guess that means you’re going to need a new assistant then huh?”
