Brandon and Callie have been together for six months now. Callie had decided to stay with Robert. It was something that she needed to do. Callie wasn't just living with Robert so she could pursue a relationship with Brandon despite what everyone else thinks. This was the weekend that Brandon and Callie would get away from all the chaos in their lives. Even though Callie had told Stef and Lena that Brandon wasn't the reason she decided to move in with Robert, they still haven't warmed up to the idea of Brandon and Callie having a relationship. Brandon knew that Stef and Lena wouldn't be a fan of his getaway weekend with Callie, so he made up some bogus lie and told them that he'd be spending the weekend with Aiden. Of course Brandon filled in Aiden on the plan and he said he'd cover for him. Callie was honest with Robert and told him what her plans for the weekend were. Robert trusted Callie so he allowed Callie to go away with Brandon. Callie loved being able to have a relationship with Robert, sure the Fosters' didn't support her decision, alright everyone but Brandon didn't support Callie's decision but that was beside the point.
Brandon grabbed his bag and headed out the door before anyone could say anything. Brandon threw the bag in the trunk and got in his car. He was now on his way to Callie's house. She didn't live too far away, which was nice. Callie was able to attend Anchor Beach still. "This is going to be the best weekend ever. A getaway with my girl. I honestly have no idea where we are going but that's going to make this so much better." Brandon soon arrived at the Quinn residence, once he had the car in park he made his way to the door and took a deep breath before knocking. About 20 seconds later, someone opened the door. Yes, Brandon was counting the seconds. He was so nervous. Robert was one who opened the door.
"Come on in Brandon. Callie will be down shortly. Can I get you anything to drink or eat while you wait?" Robert asked Brandon as they made their way into the living room. Robert sat in the chair across from Brandon who was on the couch, waiting nervously for Callie to get downstairs.
"No thanks."
"So Callie, told me what your plans for the weekend were." As soon as Robert said that his heart sank. "Oh God, is he going to lecture me? If I wanted a lecture I'd be at home right now." "Listen, I know that you're probably thinking here comes a lecture, but I'm not going to lecture you. I trust Callie and she loves you more than anything. With that being said, Brandon I am trusting you with my daughter. If you ever hurt I will hunt you down. That's a promise." Brandon understood where Robert was coming from, but he would never do anything to hurt Callie. He'd rather hurt himself before he'd let anything happen to Callie.
"I completely understand Mr. Quinn, but I would never hurt Callie in a million years. I love your daughter more than I ever thought I could love anyone in my entire life. Sure I may be only 17 but that doesn't mean I don't know what it's like to be in love. I didn't know what love was til I met Callie."
"I'm glad to hear that. I'm happy Callie was able to find someone who loves her as much as you do. I know what it's like to be young and in love trust me. Before I met Mrs. Quinn, I mean Kristen, I was in love with Callie's mom Colleen. I haven't told Callie this story yet, but I'm going to tell you while I have the time. That way you can see that I can relate to you and Callie." Callie made her way downstairs as she heard voices coming from the living room. It wasn't Kristen her step mother or Annabelle her half-sister. They were away at a retreat a mother daughter weekend as one would say. Callie probably would have tagged along with them if she wasn't going away for the weekend with Brandon. The Quinn's have made Callie feel welcome and it's like she is part of the family. Sure she still has Jude and possibly the Fosters, but it was nice to have a family to call her own. Callie was still getting to know Robert and what her mother was like in the past. It sounded like Robert, which meant Brandon must be here. Callie made her way over to the living room leaving her bags in the foyer.
"I understand what it's like to be told who you can and can't be with. Colleen was a foster kid, and my family took her in. At the time I had a girlfriend and Colleen was seeing Donald Jacob. I knew he was nothing but trouble. Colleen and I had this strong connect from the start. It's hard to explain. Anyways, over time I developed feelings for Colleen even though it was "forbidden". I had told her how I felt but she said she couldn't risk getting kicked out. I understood that and I wasn't going to push. A little after six months of living with us my parents decided that they wanted to adopt Colleen. She asked me if I was okay with it know how I felt about her. I said yes, because all I've ever wanted was for Colleen to be happy. I remember right before the adoption was supposed to be finalized, one night Colleen came into my room crying telling me how she loved me from the first day she came into the house. I comforted her and one thing led to another and that night Callie was conceived. I didn't know about Colleen being pregnant. Soon after that night, Colleen ran away in the middle of the night with Donald. I never saw her again. I didn't know about Callie. If I had I would have done everything in my power to find her. I would have fought for my daughter. I just wanted you to see that I know what it's like to not be with the one you love. I get that you and Callie don't have that problem now but she has told me that your family isn't being very supportive of your relationship. I don't want you and Callie to feel like you don't have anyone on your side because you do." Callie couldn't believe how similar her mother and Robert's love story is to hers and Brandon's. Callie felt tears beginning to slip down her cheeks. She couldn't help it. She and Robert hadn't really talked about that. Callie couldn't help but think about what Robert said if he would have known about her. Her life would be different than it is now that's for sure. "If my life had been different I would have never met Liam, the Fosters, or Brandon. I wouldn't be where I am now."
"Wow, I never realized that. I want you to know that Callie is a very important person if not the important person in my life. She's my everything. I would whatever it took to make her happy. I even told her to get adopted. I knew I couldn't be the cause of her not being happy."
"So you'd rather you be unhappy than Callie. Well, everything worked out. You guys have each other and Callie has two families who love her very much." Callie wiped the tears from her eyes and made her way into the living room to join Brandon and Robert.
"Hey Brandon. Hey Dad." Callie took a seat next to Brandon on the couch.
"Hey Cal." Brandon noticed that she had been crying. That must mean she heard the conversation between him and Robert. Brandon wrapped his arms around her. "I love you." He whispered and then kissed her forehead.
"I love you too." Callie wanted to tell Robert that she overheard what he was telling Brandon. "Ahh." Callie was kind of hesitant at first but she had to tell her father what she had heard. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to but I overheard your conversation. Why didn't you tell me about Mom?" Callie felt as if she was going to cry again.
"Oh Sweetie. I just haven't found the right time. I wanted to tell you when the time was right. I know it's a lot to take in. I didn't want to throw this all at you at once. I told Brandon because I wanted him to understand that I know what it's like to have people against you when it comes to love. You can't help who you fall in love with. I know that firsthand. You guys should probably get going. Cal, we'll talk more when you guys get back. Have a safe trip and let me know when you guys get there wherever that may be."
"Okay. Sounds like a plan. Thank you for understanding where Brandon and I are coming from. I have no idea where he's taking me. I feel like he has no clue either. But we like to be spontaneous! I'll be sure to call you." Callie got up to hug Robert. Robert turns to face Brandon.
"I know that you'll take very good care of our Callie. If anything happens do not hesitate to call. Brandon, I'm trusting you so please do not give me a reason not to trust you. You're the type of man I can picture Callie with. Have a safe trip even if you don't know where you're heading."
"You got that right. Robert, she's in good hands you've got nothing to worry about. I honestly have no idea where we're going. I just figured we'd go somewhere on the East Coast. I can't remember the last time I've been out that way. Don't worry Callie will call you once we get there." Brandon shook Robert's hand before following Callie out to the foyer where her bags were. Brandon took one look at the amount of bags Callie had and chuckled. Callie was no girly girl that's for sure. Brandon shook his head as Callie gave him a funny look.
"What?"
"All these bags, we're only going to be gone a few days. It's not like we're moving there."
"I know, but you never told me what to pack so I'm being prepared. Who knows what if we like it there? What then?"
"We have to come back. I don't want your father to kill me. Plus, Mom and Lena will know that I lied about going to Aiden's for the weekend. I don't think we want them to find out that I lied to them. I'll be grounded til the end of time and then I'll never get to see you again if they have their way. Don't worry Robert we'll be back by Sunday sometime. It's Wednesday and we don't have school for the rest of the week so we'll be able to enjoy the little bit of time we're not on the road sight-seeing."
"Just bring my daughter home safe and sound that's all I ask. I'll see you Sunday." Callie was picking up her bags.
"No, let me get those."
"You don't have to do that?"
"Sure I do. Let me do this. It's my job as your boyfriend." Brandon said as he took the bags from Callie. He was going to back down. "We better hit the road. We'll see you Sunday Robert."
Robert walked Brandon and Callie to the door. Callie had to double check that she had everything. "Are you sure you have everything?"
"Yes, Dad. I love you."
"I love you too Cal. Have a great time." Robert then hugged Callie one last time before closing the door behind Brandon and Callie.
Brandon threw Callie's bags in the trunk along with his one bag. Brandon then got in the driver side and placed the key in the ignition. "Foster, where are you whisking me away to?" Callie smirked.
"Like I said wherever the road takes us. It doesn't matter where we go as long as we're together. Are you ready to hit the road?"
"I'd go anywhere with you." Brandon started the car and put on his seatbelt and grabbed ahold of Callie's hand before he started to pull out of the driveway. Callie couldn't help but blush everything Brandon held her hand. As cliché as it sounds Callie's face would turn as red as a cherry.
Brandon and Callie have been on the road for about a day and a half or so. They stopped at a motel somewhere in Tennessee during the night to get some rest there was no way they'd be able to function without sleep. Something bad could have happened. In the morning Brandon and Callie continued to make their way to the East Coast.
Meanwhile in Rosewood Pennsylvania, Ezra Fitz and Aria Montgomery we're going on a little road trip of their own. They needed to get away from the small town of Rosewood. It has been three months, three very long months since Ezra was shot by "A" who still remains a mystery. Aria didn't tell her mother or father that she was going to go away with Ezra, very much like Stef and Lena they wouldn't have allowed their daughter to leave town for the weekend for their significant other. Ella and Byron have yet to accept Aria's relationship with Ezra. Aria knew it was because of the age difference. But to Aria love has no limitations when it comes to age. Aria realized when Ezra was shot that she couldn't live her life without him. Aria's parents believe she's staying at Hanna's house. Aria, like Brandon told her parents a lie. Oh, Hanna was all for covering for Aria. Hanna was a sucker for romance.
Aria made sure she had everything for her weekend away with Ezra before heading over to Ezra's apartment. It's not like Ezra could pick her up at her house that would ruin everything and she'd probably be grounded for the rest of her life. No one was home, her father was out and well Ella lived across town. Oh Mike was more than likely a friend's house. Ezra probably could have picked Aria up at her house but you can never be too safe. Aria texted Ezra letting him know she was just now leaving. Aria made her way out the door with bags in hand. She threw her bags, yes she has more than one bag. That's to be expected seeing as she's a girl.
After about ten minutes, Aria finally made it to Ezra's apartment and made her way to his upstairs to his apartment. Aria just went on into Ezra's apartment. She had her own key anyways. Once Aria was inside she looked around to see that Ezra wasn't there. Aria decided to take a seat and just wait and about five seconds later Ezra walked out of the bathroom.
"Hey, are you ready for our weekend?" Ezra said as he made his way over to Aria and kissed her cheek before taking a seat next to her.
"Yes, I am. After everything we've been through we need this. Hanna is covering for me, she's a sucker for forbidden romance. Are you ready to go?"
"Yes. Shall we get the show on the road?"
"Let's." Ezra grabbed his bag after making sure everything was shut off and that he wasn't forgetting anything. Aria was the first one to exit the apartment; Ezra closed the door behind him and locked the door. He's also moved the spare key that was under the mat. He didn't need anyone breaking into his apartment. And by anyone he means "A".
No one knew about Aria and Ezra getting back together besides Emily, Spencer, and Hanna other than that no one else knew. Since no one else knew Aria made her way out to the car before Ezra. Just like any other time Ezra waited a few minutes before following Aria out to her car. Ezra threw his bag in the trunk and then slid into the passenger seat.
Neither Aria nor Ezra knew where they were heading. All they knew was that they'd go wherever the road would take them. As long as it was far away from Rosewood it didn't matter where they went. They stopped outside about 45 minutes away from Rosewood before they got gas and some snacks before hitting the road. As they were getting back into the car "I can drive if you want me to Aria."
"I know but." Ezra interrupted Aria from bringing up that he was shot and probably shouldn't be driving. It had been three months anyways he was completely healed and cleared by the doctor to start driving again.
"No buts, it's been three months. I'm completely fine. I can drive."
"I mean if you want. I just wanted to make sure that you were okay to drive."
"I appreciate it, I really do but I'm capable of driving." Aria made her way over to the passenger side as Ezra made his way to the driver's side. "Wait, I need the keys."
"Oh sorry." Aria then threw the keys to Ezra so he could unlock the doors. Once they got situated they were on their way to who knows where.
About 4 hours later they were somewhere in Ohio, before they decided to call it a night. It was getting late and they both needed some rest. A good night's sleep would do wonders. The next morning Aria and Ezra had breakfast at the local diner before hitting the road again. After a while it started to rain, it was raining so hard that they could barely see.
"Maybe we should pull over?" Aria was starting to get scared seeing as it was pouring and they couldn't see what was right in front of them.
"This should blow over soon. If we stop we'll be off schedule. Don't worry there's nothing to worry about." Ezra looked over at Aria and gave her a reassuring smile. Aria couldn't help it she just felt like something bad was going to happen.
"I just feel like something bad is going to happen. I can't explain it."
Meanwhile, Brandon had been driving all morning and afternoon. They were somewhere in Ohio. Brandon looked over at Callie who was asleep. As Brandon drove further through the state of Ohio, it started to down pour. The sound of the pouring rain woke Callie up.
"Babe, maybe we should stop. We can't see what's right in front of us."
"I know, Callie but we're in the middle of nowhere. If there was a place to stop I would. Who knows it could start to die down soon. As soon as we find a somewhere to stop I promise I'll stop. But until then I'm going to continue to drive."
"Can't you just pull over to the side of the road?" Callie pleaded. She was scared that something bad was going to happen.
"I don't know how good of an idea that would be." As soon as Brandon said that he ended up running over something. So he then had to pull over to the side of the road.
"What's wrong Brandon?"
"I'm not sure, but I want you to stay here while I check it out. I think we may have a flat but I'm not entirely sure if that's what it is." Brandon turned off the ignition before starting to get out of the car.
"Please don't. I don't think you should do that B. Neither one of us can barely see what's right in front us with it pouring out there. Plus, you can't change a flat in this weather. Please just stay with me. Wait until it dies down out there."
"Don't worry. I'll be back. Who knows maybe by the time I get the tire changed it will have stopped raining and we can finally continue our road trip." Brandon leaned over to kiss Callie before getting out in the pouring rain.
"Wait, I'll come with you. If we work together the faster we can get out of the rain."
"I don't want you getting sick. Just stay here. I'll be back before you know it." Brandon didn't wait for Callie to try to convince him to let her help. Sure if Callie helped it would go faster but he didn't want her getting sick. Callie tried to get a signal so she could call for help but she wasn't having any such luck.
Brandon got the tire iron, jack and the spare tire out of the trunk along with a flashlight so he could get what he was doing. He was having trouble seeing, maybe Callie was right maybe he needed her help. Brandon tapped on the window and Callie rolled down the window.
"I-." Callie interrupted Brandon from saying anything.
"I thought you were superman. I thought you didn't need any help. Huh? I thought you could do it all on your own. I knew you'd need my help." Callie smirked as she knew she was right all along.
"Oh you shush. I don't you need you telling me I told you so now will you get out here and help me?"
"Sure. It's a good thing you're a stud!"
"Not funny." Callie rolled up the window and then got out of the car to help Brandon change the tire.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Hold the flashlight."
"Aye Aye Captain." Callie joked. She was trying to lighten the mood but Brandon wasn't having it that's for sure.
Ezra continued to make his way down the road that was in the middle of nowhere. Aria couldn't get this bad feeling to go away. Ezra noticed that Aria was a little antsy. "It's fine. We're fine. You've got nothing to worry about."
"I hope you're right."
"I am." Ezra gave her hand a squeeze as they continued to drive. "Maybe Ezra is right. Maybe it's all in my head?"
Brandon continued to loosen the nuts and bolts on the tire with the tire iron as Callie held the flashlight so he could see what he was doing. Brandon's hands were starting to slip making him lose his grip on the tire iron.
"Damn it." Brandon was getting frustrated that he wasn't able to keep his grip. The sooner they got the tire changed the sooner they could be back in the car.
"Maybe we should-" Callie knew that Brandon wouldn't want to stop changing the tire when they were almost done.
"Don't say it Cal. I got this." Callie gave Brandon 'The Look' of course Brandon was too focused on trying to get the tire changed he couldn't see Callie giving him that look.
"Whatever you say." Callie just kept her mouth shut and continued to hold the flashlight for Brandon.
Brandon was still having trouble getting the nuts and bolts to loosen on the tire. It was only making him more frustrated than it was before. As Brandon still tried to complete the task of changing the tire he slipped and lost his grip again. But only this time when he slipped it was into the road and the next thing that happened was terrifying but maybe that was the understatement.
Ezra continued to drive, he promised Aria that once they made it to a town they would stop. She was really beginning to freak out. She had that feeling that made her feel sick in the pit of her stomach. Ezra's eyes never left the road but there was nothing he could prevent what was about to happen. A man's body flung out in front on the car not giving him anytime to stop. The body rolled off the car and into the road right in front of them. That's right Ezra wasn't able to hit the brakes before hitting someone. It terrified Aria but Ezra also. They both got out of the car and ran towards the possible dead body.
Callie watched as a car was heading right towards them as Brandon lost grip on the tire iron and his footing. She couldn't get any words out she tried but she was too late. The car couldn't stop they didn't see Brandon falling right in front of them. Callie couldn't believe her eyes she watched as Brandon's body hit the windshield of the car and roll off of the hood and onto the road. Callie's eyes widen as she watched it unfold right before her. Callie was in shock she couldn't believe it. Once Callie realized what had happened she ran to Brandon's lifeless body.
Callie bent down on her knees holding Brandon in her arms, she started to cry. Right now, she had to be strong, strong for Brandon. Now was not the time to show any kind of weakness. Brandon was unconscious he wasn't waking up.
"Brandon, please you need to stay with me. I can't lose you." Callie muffled through the tears.
Aria and Ezra couldn't believe what had just happened. They were now standing in front of the car in the rain watching a girl holding a lifeless body. Ezra had to do something to help. He couldn't just stand there. "Aria, call 911." Ezra said and he made his way over to the girl. The girl kept saying the boy's name which it sounded like she was saying "Brandon." But Ezra wasn't completely sure.
Ezra bent down towards the girl and Brandon who wasn't movin', hell he wasn't even awake. "OH MY God. What have I done? This can't be happening not now." Ezra noticed that Aria was now by his side.
"An ambulance is on its way." Aria said as she couldn't believe what had just happened. The girl who they still had no name of looked up at her.
"Thank you."
"I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I'm so sorry." The guilt was eating Ezra alive, there's no telling what would happen if Brandon died. Brandon's blood would be on Ezra's hands.
"I know. It's not your fault. He was changing the tire and he slipped and next thing I knew he was lying in the middle of the road. I told him that we should just wait until the rain died down. But he wouldn't listen to me."
"What's your name?" Aria asked still not knowing her name. They knew the boy's name but not hers.
"Sorry. It's Callie."
"It's nice to meet you Callie. I'm Aria and this is Ezra."
"He's going to be okay Callie." Ezra was trying to reassuring Callie that Brandon was going to be okay. Or was he trying to convince himself that Brandon would live? The ambulance had finally arrived taking Brandon to the hospital. Callie wasn't going to leave him. Ezra and Aria would follow them to the hospital. They needed to make sure that Brandon was going to be okay. As soon as they drove toward the hospital the rain had stopped.
Callie's mind was going a million miles a minute. She couldn't even think straight. Callie had no idea what she would do if she lost Brandon. How was she going to tell Stef and Lena? Brandon started to flat line as they were still in the ambulance, that's what pulled Callie out of her thoughts. This was a living nightmare.
Alright this is the first time I've ever written anything like this. I thought a crossover between The Fosters and Pretty Little Liars was a great idea. I know this is long but it's setting everything up. Don't kill me. I'd like to dedicate this story to Justine. Anyways, let me know what you guys think. Did you like it, hate it or love it?
What do you think is going to happen next? Will Brandon live or die?
