Arizona POV

"Ugh, damn it!" Arizona yells as she barely catches herself from tripping over something left lying in the middle of the floor, as she catches her balance she runs her hand over the wall to find the light switch in the dark. kicking the bags of dog food sitting in the middle of the walkway that she nearly broke her neck on, she makes her way to the back of the building to her office. Its frikin two in the afternoon, and that lazy, good for nothing girl has left again! What the hell?! Arizona reaches for her phone, and for the third time this week, she calls the number she now has memorized.

"Tina, where the heck are you?! You said you would have this dog food put up in the storage locker by the time I got back from that call." On the other side of the phone Arizona could hear giggling as Tina replied "oh, uh sorry Robbins but I had something come up and I had to leave. I'll get to it Monday don't worry." Arizona huffs as she replies "no Tina, don't worry about showing up next week, I can't depend on you to show up on time, do the work I need you to do, and you can't even stay the 6 hours you are supposed to stay. So, tell your probation officer you need to find some place else to finish up your hours... And..." she hung up on me... well alright then.

Arizona shakes her Head, sighs, and starts to load the 10 bags of dog food onto the cart to take to the storage locker as she mumbles to herself about how ungrateful kids these days are.

I try to be a good person, I really do. So I open my business up to young adults who have been assigned by a judge to do their community service here. Before it was mostly a organization for high school kids who need it to graduate, but the animals that come in here are getting a second chance so why shouldn't I give people the same thing? I mean who wouldn't love to spend hours upon hours with these adorable doggys? I mean yeah its not all fun and games but it's a whole hell of a lot better than picking up trash on the side of the road. I have been running Puppy Love Rescue for almost two years now, I used to do volunteer work here when I was in high school but I just loved it so much I stuck around, got offered a job, and soon I was running the place. I love it here and my boss Ms. Rosa, who is like a grandmother to me told me one day it will all be mine if I want it and I do. I love saving all these precious animals, This place is my life.

Callie's POV

Ugh this crap! Here I am 25 years old, about to start my internship as a surgeon, sitting in daddy's office being scolded like I'm 12 and just go caught stealing my mother's makeup.

"Mija, how could you do this to us? This is a disgrace! You are ruining the Torres name."

Rolling my eyes, I reply "Daddy I didn't know! How could you even think I would sell drugs to kids?!" Dom told me he needed to pick up something for his little sister."

Dom is...was my boyfriend. We have been together since my senior year in high school and apparently, he's a drug dealer. I took him to a kids house To "pick up a book" but apparently he was selling drugs to said high school kid. The cops showed up and I got arrested. Thankfully with a good lawyer and my daddy's money I was able to get out of going to jail, but I have to do 100 hours of community service. Frikin awesome.

"You are not to see that boy again." Daddy says in a harsh tone.

"No problem." I don't deal with drugs and I will not deal with someone who does." Crossing her arms over her chest, Callie looks to the floor and tries to keep her tears at bay. How could I have been so stupid?

Daddy looks at me and takes a deep breath, as my mother walks in and sits down. She looks at me and says "Darling, this place you were assigned to do your community service at... I need to tell you about it..."

My mom has this weird expression on her face and she's chewing her lip. She almost looks nervous, and that's a look Lucia Torres doesn't wear. I chance a glance at Daddy and he looks just about as nervous as she does. Looking back at mama, I squint my eyes and then place my hand over hers, "what's going on? You guys are starting to worry me, so just tell me okay?"

My parents give each other a look then my mother turns to me " Calliope, remember when we told you that after my Papi died my mother took off to Mexico?... well, mi hija, that's not exactly true..."

"Ooooookay? I'm confused what does my grandmother have to do with my community service?"

I just look at my mother waiting for an explanation. My dad sees my mom is struggling so he continues for her. "Um, your Abuela Rosa, she always hated to flaunt her money, so when your Abuelo passed she sold their home but she didn't move back to Mexico... she owns Puppy Love Rescue."

I have no idea what to say to that.

"So um basically you guys have lied to me my whole life and now I'm going to finally meet my grandmother Rosa because I got arrested and have to complete community service at her place of business?" I throw myself off the couch and stand in front of them with my arms crossed waiting for an explanation.

..."Yep. Pretty much" is the answer I get from my mom. I stand there in total shock as I watch them walk out the room.

What. The. Fuck.
