So this story has been plaguing my mind for the last couple of weeks. I started thinking about it after 2x09 Leaky Faucets, so after that one is totally AU. Just if you are wondering, it is set at the beginning of Callie's senior year.
I own nothing.
When Callie walked down the stairs and into the kitchen that morning, she didn't even bother to take her eyes from her phone as she put her backpack on the table. Still looking down, Callie walked to the coffeemaker; waiting to gulp down the coffee she had started making over fifteen minutes ago.
"What the�" she murmured looking at the empty pot and putting her phone down to look over the appliance.
"Morning, sweets," Lena's voice asked, making her daughter jump, "Looking for something?"
"You scared me," Callie complained in a whisper, before sighing and walking to the fridge. Her plans on getting coffee already forgotten, at least for now. "I thought you were in the shower."
"That's Stef, we woke up a little earlier," she explained, nursing her cup as she walked from the stool on the breakfast bar where she was resting to one at the kitchen table, looking curiously as Callie took her lunch bag from the fridge. "I thought today was my day to prepare lunch for you guys," Lena added as Callie put it on her backpack.
"Yeah, I just need to get to school earlier today, so I thought I would be better if I made mine," Callie uttered shoving her bag over her shoulder. "I was thinking I could walk to school," she said taking her time to measure her mom's reaction, knowing well that she didn't keep her face as guarded as her wife.
Lena on the other hand was looking incredibly at her daughter. It was the first time she had heard her plans, and she was sure that it would be come as news to Stef as well. Plus, the fact that Callie, her now four month coffee free daughter was planning to make some was unsettling.
"It's still six in the morning, Callie, why would you need to get to school so early?" she questioned eyeing the bag already hanging over Callie's shoulder.
"I forgot some book one my locker that I needed for homework," Callie said looking down to her hands that were resting on the table, act that didn't go unnoticed by Lena.
"Okay," she said a little disappointed. Even after all things months she couldn't remember a time when Callie had said a lie to her. Sure, she would hide something but never had she lied. "Next time at least let your mother and I know what you are planning to do, I don't want to wake up to find my daughter missing again," Lena murmured shaking her head and passing her cup over the counter, silently saying that she wasn't really mad. "Just a sip, bug"
"I send you both a text explaining," Callie responded in an annoyed voice before bringing the cup to her lips and letting the liquid wash away the night she just had.
"Well, either way, if this ever happens again, come talk to us instead of sending us a text," she said in a sterner voice before standing up again, "Now, since you are the first down, any suggestion for breakfast?"
"Not really hungry."
"You need to eat something," Lena said turning from the stove, only to see the back of her eldest daughter disappear from the kitchen. "Callie?"
"Not really hungry, Lena," Callie shouted back before the sound of the front door closing made it clear that Callie was gone, never noticing her other mother standing at the top of the stairs.
"What's going on with that one?" Stef said walking into the kitchen, already with her uniform on.
"Not really sure," Lena murmured as Stef walk past her. "Check your phone," she added turning on the stove and started breakfast for the rest of the family.
"This is new," the blonde commented after reading the text, leaning on the counter next to the stove, her phone still in her hands. She recognized a lie when she sees it, and Callie forgetting homework? It wasn't even a good lie.
So that was it for Chapter 1.
