Hey Guys! This is my second Fosters fanfic and I hope you enjoy it.

Summary: Starts at the end of I Do. BRALLIE! When Callie is ready to run away, but gets stopped before she can, where will this take their relationship? A lot better than the summary! I promise!

Callie's POV

I tiptoed quietly and looked in Jude and Jesus's room…he was peacefully sleeping…I'm gonna miss you baby…I thought to myself. I went to the next room…Brandon's room…He was dead asleep…he smiled in his peaceful state…what could he be dreaming about? Talya, most likely. Just as I stepped over to set a note down the floor creaked…he didn't stir…I sighed inaudibly. I carried on down the stairs with my bags.

I was out the door and on my way when I felt a strong grip on my arm. I screamed and tried to get loose. "Callie, where do you think you're going?" I knew that voice

"Brandon?" I pulled back to see him in only his pajamas pants

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked again

"I can't stay here…I made this mistake once and I will not hurt Jude again." I told him a silent tear rolling down my cheek

He wiped my tears away and pulled me close to him. "Callie…you cannot leave me…" Brandon whispered against my ear

"I have to." I pulled away from him "This is what happened with Liam! I made a choice to fall for him! I made him think it was okay!" The tears were coming faster now

"Stop it Callie…" he whispered "That was NOT your fault. That was his. He had no right to do that to you."

"I let him think it was okay." I told him trying to stop from crying, I was not weak.

"He knew that wasn't okay." He took me in his arms again "I am not Liam…I would never hurt you the way he did."

"Just stop!" I yanked from his grasp "Your with Talya…I wanted to tell you that I liked you at the hospital but Talya was there and you went off with her." I picked my bag up and headed down the sidewalk

"Callie wait!" he came running up beside me. "I'm not with Talya…I want to be with you…I love you…I'm in love with you…"

I dropped my bags and did something I never thought I'd do again and I reached up and kissed him…I heard thunder cracking in the background…the rain began falling, it began pouring…we went back for a breath… "We need to get back before everyone wakes up." I yelled through the rain

"You're so beautiful." He smiled brushing my wet hair from my face

"I love you…" the three words I've only ever said to one guy…Jude… "Brandon…I love you…" I was thankful for the rain so he wouldn't see my tears

He picked me up along with my bags and carried me to the house. He set me down on the porch and kissed me one last time… "This is our secret…moms can't know…not right now…"

"They want to adopt me…I…I want to be a Foster…but not…not your sister…" Worry bubbled up inside of me

"Callie…one problem at a time." He kissed me and we opened the door. I went to take a shower...

To my surprise everyone was still asleep…Jude hated thunder…when I was dressed and ready for bed I heard him scream. "Jude!" I raced into his room I knew he probably didn't want me but I had to show I was there for him

He was sobbing… "I want my mom…" I took him in my arms and ran my fingers through his hair…

"Shhhhh…baby….your safe….your safe…"

Brandon's POV
To see her comforting Jude was an amazing sight…it's like she's already a mom…I mean she has been to Jude for years… Jude looked up to see me lurking in the doorway and pushed away from Callie…clearly remembering what had happened earlier that day.

Callie got up and walked past me and into my room, without Jude seeing…she picked up the guitar I hadn't noticed she had left with a note by my bed. "Can we?" she didn't finish before I was at my keyboard turning the volume down only slightly

We began to play and the house quieted, Jude's cries were silent whimpers the annoyance from Jesus was quieted. Callie hummed silently with the song. I smiled at her and she smiled back. Once we knew everyone was asleep again we stopped playing. I kissed her cheek and she went back to her room to sleep.

Not long after I got a text.

From: Talya

Do you want to get back together?

Another one popped up on the screen. I smiled

From: Callie

How are we going to make this work?

I told Callie we can worry about that tomorrow…she needs sleep right now.

*The Next Morning*

Callie's POV

I woke up smelling pancakes; Mariana was still asleep so I snuck out to get the bathroom before her. I turned to go to the bathroom and ran right into Brandon. I blushed seeing his appearance. He had only a towel wrapped around his waist. "Good morning to you too." He smiled and looked both ways before kissing me quickly

"Early shower?" I smirked remembering when how angry he would get without hot water

"Maybe I wanted to see you in only a towel." Brandon smirked

"Whatever. I'll come to your room when I'm done. In clothes." I winked at him.

"Okay." He fake pouted

Once I was out of the shower I wrapped myself in a towel and snuck across the hall to Brandon's room hoping no one was awake.

"Hey." I smiled entering in a towel

"Hey Cutie." He smiled coming over and kissing me "I hope you brought clothes because everyone's waking up

"I put some in your dresser while you were in the shower." I grinned at him

"Sneaky girl. But I'm in here, how are you going to get dressed?"

"Turn around." I said

He did as I requested and once I was dressed I came to him and silently kissed him. "I love you." I whispered grabbing my guitar

"Wait. I wrote a song last night." He sat at the piano and began to play a wonderful harmonic song…then in the middle of it…it flattened out… "Why is it so flat?"

"The first part is when you first came here. The good. The next part is if you had left, the bad…I would've been crushed…the next part…" he began to play a quick a fast a happy tune "Is us together…you and me. Just like the song I wrote about the twins."

"I love it. Thank you Brandon." I leaned over and kissed his lips passionately, we pulled back flushed and breathless. "Breakfast!" Lena called up the stairs

We both took a deep breath and exited his bedroom and acted natural. "Good morning mom!" Brandon kissed her cheek

"Good Morning." I smiled leaving mom out

"Hey, baby. How did you sleep?" Stef asked

I glanced over to Brandon and then spoke "Good." It was only a partial lie

"Can I talk to you guys after breakfast?" I asked

"Sure baby." Stef's face laced with concern "I'm okay." I quickly told her

Mariana, Jesus and a very angry Jude came down the stairs. "Morning Jude." I smiled

He ignored me, luckily no one noticed…aside from Brandon who just gave me a reassuring nod. I sat next to Jude and whispered in his ear… "Please talk to me Jude…I only want what's best for you baby."

"Don't call me that." He snapped getting everyone's attention

A tear lingered in my eye. "You ruin everything! I hate you Callie! I hate you!" he harshly told me

"Excuse me." I got up and ran outside

Brandon's POV

"Excuse me." She said getting up and running out the door

"Callie!" Lena got up to go after her "I got it Lena." I said and ran after her. I saw her heading towards the beach. "Callie!" she looked back at me with tear stained cheeks

I started running to catch up with her and she began running too. She ran right into my arms and began to sob… "I told you I should've left." She wept

"I'm glad you didn't." I told her as I took her hand and we began walking towards the beach

"Where are you taking me?" she asked

"Don't worry about it." I told her. I could see she was getting tired. Getting all worked up about that wore her out. "Come here." I let her get on my back

"Your absolutely crazy Brandon Foster." She told me resting her head on my shoulder

"I hope that why you love me." I whispered

Lena's POV

"Stef it's been 2 hours where are they…" I was exasperated

"Hold on." Her phone was ringing "Its Brandon."

"Put it on speaker."

"Hi mom."

"Where are you? We are very worried." I told him

"Hey Lena. We are fine. Callie needed a break so we are at dads, he picked us up and she's resting. We will be back in an hour. But could you have Jesus and Mariana take Jude out so Callie can talk to you?"

"We can do that. Tell your father thank you and we will see you soon. We love you guys. Bye." Stef said

"Thank goodness they are okay." I said "Jude! Can you come here please?" I called upstairs

He came down with a scowl on his face. "Yes." He said

"What was that about at breakfast?" Stef asked

Jude's POV

I want to tell them about the kiss so bad. But it will get my sister and I kicked out. This time I want to stay, I love it here. These are my mom's…and I won't let my sister take that away.

"She gets us kicked out of every foster home we've ever been in. She's gonna get us kicked out here too." I said

"Do you know why you left other foster homes?" Lena asked me

"Callie mouthed off and was in a relationship with Liam." I stated

"Jude…Callie has done everything to protect you…and Liam…he…he forced Callie to sleep with him. But they blamed Callie…the things that happened to her were not her fault…and she took beatings for you…" Stef told me

"You mean…she got all those bruises from protecting me?"

"Yeah…" Lena sighed

"And I told her that I hated her…" I got up and raced up the stairs

A/N: There you go! First chapter of The Journey. There isn't a lot of Braille in this chapter, but I had to set the story.
