Callie's POV
I knew this was going to end badly. And I knew they will partially blame me. So I was going to do my best to make sure it doesn't end badly even though it seems inevitable. I decided to call Wyatt for backup.
As I scrolled through my contacts for his name it hit me. He told me yesterday that he had plans all weekend. I hadn't questioned his vagueness but now that I realized I had to bounce people by myself, I started to.
I let Jude have Maddie over so that he wouldn't accidentally wander into the tangled mess this party already was. I definitely didn't want my innocent brother to get in trouble for my idiotic siblings antics.
The guests started coming and my anxiety rose. There were so many people! I was so ready to kill Brandon for this mess he created. Some idiot clogged the toilet so we had no bathroom. When I went to get the plugger I saw flash of plaid fabric in which I assumed to be Connor. I decided that would be the one thing that I would let go tonight even though I had a feeling I would regret it.
A half an hour later(which seemed like a decade. Which included having to clean up Caitlin's throw up from Stef and Lena's sheets) Connor's dad came to the door proving my previous prediction to be true. But I didn't enjoy Connor's dad yelling his head off at me because Connor snuck out. Like it what my fault! I just kept nodding until he decided to check out the area.
Even though it wasn't the best decision I decided to warn Connor about his dad. I opened the door and Jude and Connor seemed startled by my intrusion which I found odd but I dismissed this and warned Connor, who swiftly jumped under the bed.
I decided to go outside for a minute to relax and just breath when I hear something I didn't expect. Brandon was singing, which I thought was odd since I had just talked to Lou and she sounded like she was going to go back to help. I looked to the side of him and realized that Lou was there. But he wasn't only singing, he was singing our song. Tears started to gather in my eyes as I listened very carefully to the only thing that was left of what was our relationship. He looks over to me and I feel like I'm going to burst but I what for what seems like forever, but turned out to be around thirty seconds, for him to turn his head away. Then I ran as fast as I could up the stairs into my room.
Lou's POV:
As I was following along to Brandon's song (which was, I have to admit , really good.), I couldn't help but notice his gaze off towards the side. I look in that direction to see Callie standing there. She seemed like she wanted to listen very carefully to the song as if her life depended on it. Her expression changed slightly, I'm guessing she noticed that Brandon was looking her way and I could tell she was waiting for him to look away. I watched as she ran off looking upset so I decided to follow her.
I whispered to Mat to keep going and I ran as fast as I could to catch up with her.
Callie's POV:
I sat on my bed sobbing into my hands. All the memories we had flooded in my head. All nine weeks of it, from him coming with me to go get Jude to running across the street and hugging him after feeling like I would be forgotten by the family. But what came up the most was our relationship. I was like that for a minute or so until I hear a knock at the door followed someone saying "It's Lou."
Lou? Why is she here? Wait, isn't she supposed to be singing right now?
She spoke again "I saw you run out...are you okay?"
I was half surprised that Lou was being so nice to me. "I'm fine." I tried to say normally but wound up coming out cracked.
She scoffed and said "Obviously not." She opened the door and sat beside me. "What's up?" she asked.
I just sat there and tried to phrase this in a way that sounded casual and not completely odd. I decided not to say anything and she looked like she understood. I told her I was going to check to see if people were coming in to the house.
I walked down the stairs and looked around and saw no one there. I sat down and tried not to make it seem like I had cried for five minutes.
Lou's POV
After we finished the song I wandered back into the Fosters' house. I was about to walk into the living room when I saw Brandon and Callie talking. She seemed tense so I decided to slightly eavesdrop on their conversation.
Brandon seemed nervous as if he thought Callie was going to start yelling at him "I'm sorry...I know that is our song but it's the only one I've written."
"It's fine" she replied in a small voice. "I mean what else were you supposed to sing..." she trailed off smiling slightly.
"Wait a minute... It was their song?" I thought to myself suspiciously, partially understanding. I couldn't help but wonder if they were dating or not. "That wouldn't make sense. They're foster siblings."
I waited until Brandon left and Callie sat there glumly, her face towards the floor. I decided to go ask for myself.
