A/N:: A Brallie au where Callie/jude switch places with Brandon as Wyatt with Talya and so forth. They have their same personalities including their talents with instruments such as Guitar which Callie plays and piano which Brandon plays.
Callie and Jude waited in her room for Stef and Lena to come home with a foster child they would be harboring for a while. She held a book in her hand as Jude played with a bouncy ball he had found sweeping earlier.
"Jude," Callie spoke, looking up from The Fault In Our Stars.
"Sorry." He said, catching it in his hand.
He grabbed his notebook and began drawing a picture of his friend Connor. His hand carefully grasped the pencil, sketching out every detail of Connor's face.
"What do you think he'll be like?" Jude asked.
"Who?" She replied, looking up from the page.
"The foster kid. What do you think he'll be like? What will he look like?"
She was quiet for a moment before answering Jude's question.
"I don't know, I haven't really thought about it."
Jude flashed a charming smile.
"I think he'll be nice."
"Possibly."
"Callie! Jude! We want you to come meet Brandon!" Stef called from the foot of the stairs.
"I guess we'll find out." Callie said, closing her book and jumping off the bed.
Jude followed Callie down the stairs, anxious to meet the foster child and worried he would be rude.
"Callie, Jude this is Brandon Jacobs."
Callie's heart fell to her stomach, but hiding her shock by flashing a friendly smile.
"Hi," She said.
"Hi," Brandon replied, smiling shyly.
"We have twins but Jesus has volleyball and Mariana is at the library studying. You'll meet them at dinner." Stef spoke, breaking the tension.
"Where am I gonna sleep?" He asked.
"The living room for now."
Callie sat at the island in the kitchen, watching Lena cook dinner. The smell of lasagna filled the house while Callie's stomach began growling.
The sound of harmony and sweet, sweet rhythm came from the living room. It sounded beautiful.
"Callie, can you go see what hes doing?" Lena asked.
Callie got off the stool and walked to the living room, leaning against the entry. She watched Brandon's fingers swiftly play the piano keys. Watching him brought a warm feeling to her chest, a smile to her face, and peace of mind.
Callie watched him play to the end of the song before saying anything. Brandon rested his hands on his thighs once he was done.
"That sounded really good." She spoke, causing Brandon to jump.
"Oh, you scared me." He replied.
"It sounded good." She began walking to him.
"Thank you."
"Do you mind?" She asked, pointing next to him on the bench. He shook his head in response.
"Where did you learn to play like that?" She asked.
"I took intrest a long time ago, at one of my first foster homes they had a piano and I began playing. Well I mean I studied with one of their piano books. I took it from him once I moved though."
Callie chuckled. "Did he get mad?"
Brandon began laughing.
"So, what about you? Do you play anything?" Brandon asked.
"Yeah, I have a guitar up stairs I had bought when I was eleven."
"Cool."
"Yeah."
They looked at each other for a while. Feeling the same thing which wasn't quite love but some kind of liking towards each other. Do you know that stranger crush you get on someone when you're in public? It was sort of like that feeling.
"Guys time for dinner!" Lena yelled from the kitchen.
"C'mon, lets go eat." Callie said, getting off the bench, gesturing towards the kitchen.
Brandon followed Callie to the kitchen, automatically smelling lasagna.
"I hope you like lasagna, Brandon." Lena said.
"Its my favorite, Mrs. Adams."
"Please, call me Lena."
Brandon took a seat between Callie and Jesus.
"Who's this?" Jesus asked.
"Jesus, Mariana this is Brandon. The foster kid I was telling you about."
Stef replied.
"Nice to meet you, Brandon." Mariana smiled, reaching out to shake his hand.
"So I wanted to know if Wyatt could come over tomorrow, he needs help with his math and language arts." Callie asked.
"Yeah, thats fine but you know the rules, you're not allowed up stairs-"
"Yes unless someone is up there with us." Callie interrupted.
"Thats my girl."
Callie sat down next to Wyatt at lunch, taking a drink of her water.
"So who's the kid you thats staying with you?" Wyatt asked, taking a bite of a carrot.
"His name is Brandon. My moms are keeping him for a while." Callie replied.
"Thats cool."
"Yeah so you can come over after school, Stef and Lena are okay with it."
"Why didn't you text me last night?" Wyatt's voice was stern
"What do you mean?" Callie asked concerned.
"I texted you but I didn't hear back."
"I lost my phone again."
Wyatt began laughing. "You're a clutz."
"Do you understand it now?" Callie asked.
"Yes," Wyatt replied sarcastically
"No you don't you're just saying that." Callie smirked.
"Okay you caught me, but I didn't come over here to study."
"Wyatt you know the rules or else I would."
"No you wouldn't."
"Okay you're right." She smiled.
Callie heard the sound of Brandon playing the piano from down stairs and decided to join him. She grabbed her old acoustic six string and trotted down the steps towards the living room. Lena and Stef stood at a close distance but never disturbing him. Callie pulled up a chair next to the piano bench and began playing, finding the perfect notes and rhythm to match his. He looked at her and smiled a quick second before bringing his attention back to the black and white keys. Their music sounded like a beginning professional playing. It sounded beautiful and it was extremely catchy.
"They sound amazing." Stef whispered to Lena.
Brandon brought the song to an end, looking at Callie with the biggest smile on his face.
"That sounded awesome." Brandon spoke.
"Thanks, you're not so bad yourself." She smiled.
Callie and Brandon walked together on the school grounds, brushing past people who choose to ignore them.
"I see a lot of people haven't taken a liking to you." Callie spoke.
"Well yeah, but theres a girl I talked to yesterday." Brandon replied.
"Who?"
"Her names Talya. Do you know her?"
"Yeah, she doesn't like me."
Wyatt caught up to Callie and Brandon, kissing her on the cheek.
"So this is Brandon?" Wyatt asked.
"So this is Wyatt?" Brandon replied.
The laughed at each others comments.
"Well Im going to class." Brandon said, and left them two alone.
"He seems cool." Said Wyatt.
"He is, I like him." Replied Callie.
Wyatt shot her a quick glance.
"Not like that, Wyatt. C'mon lets get to class."
Jude sat at the island, finally completing his drawing of Connor. How realistic it looked, how every detail was showing was magnificent. It looked as if it was a black and white photo taken by a camera.
"Is that Connor?" Callie asked over his shoulder.
"Yes, do you like it?" Jude asked.
"Its amazing, why don't you show it to him?"
"Because he will think im weird."
"Just say you were bored."
"Okay, Ill show it to him."
Its been a week since Brandon has been living with the Fosters and he has begun to really like it, and Callie but hes sticking with Talya, which they have started dating because he knows its strict policy that foster siblings cant "date". Brandon hated that rule, he was kicked out after he had taken a liking to one of his foster sisters and that situation didn't turn out well. He liked Callie from the moment he met her but she didn't want Brandon, which was what he thought. This was the best house he has ever stayed at and he doesn't want to blow it.
A/N:: I hope you liked it! I would love to write more.
