Chapter 2
Callie's POV "STOP! Liam, please stop! Don't do this!"
His hands began to move up and down my body as I begged him to stop. "Why won't you leave me alone?'" I yelled, trying to get him to pull his hands away, but he continued. "Come on Cal, you know you want it. Just like you did that night a while back." he said as his face lit up with a slight grin. He was on top of me now and I didn't know what to do, so I attempted to push him off of me. "STOP RESISTING! You don't want to know what will happen if you don't!" He threatened as he slapped my cheek. But I didn't listen. I tried as best as I could to get him off of me, with no luck. "THAT'S IT!" he yelled as he pulled me by my hair and flung me to the ground. He grabbed a beer bottle that sat on his night stand and broke it over my head. I felt blood rushing down my cheeks and eventually saw it drip onto the ground. My vision began to weaken and all I could do was scream as he continued to hit me.
"Callie? Callie, are you alright?" I was awaken by a familiar face standing next to me. I looked around, it took me a minute to realize where I was. I was in Brandon's room. Why was I in here? What time was it? Had he found me outside? He must have noticed the worried look on my face as he interrupted me. "You're okay Callie, it's just me." he said as he kneeled down right next to me. "I found you outside and saw your condition. I wanted to bring you in here so I could keep an eye on you." He must have been sleeping on the floor as I saw blankets and a pillow spread out next to his bed. I couldn't help but stare intensely into his eyes. They were filled with so much worry and also so much anger. Then it came to me, he knew Liam did this.
The only thing I could do at this moment was the one thing I know I could always do around Brandon...cry. I sat there, snuggled on HIS bed, underneath HIS blankets, crying my eyes out to HIM. He immediately stood up and motioned for me to scoot over. As I did, he lifted up the covers and snuggled up next to me. He put his arms around me and just held me as I cried. "Shh, its okay Callie. You're with me now, I won't let anything happen to you. I'm not gonna let him hurt you anymore." He said as I buried my face into his neck. He tightened his grip on me as I flinched from the pain. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didnt mean to." he said with caution.
I sat up and looked into his eyes. I remembered the fight we had been in earlier that night and suddenly felt sick to my stomach.
"Why are you doing this?" I hissed at him. He had a confused look on his face.
"What are you talking about? Am I not supposed to be there for you when you're in need?" he questioned. My tears came flooding back as I got up from his bed. I took a few steps until I fell to the ground. I guess I forgot how much pain I was in.
Brandon POV
As I saw Callie drop to the floor, so did my heart. I quickly stood up and rushed to her aid.
"Callie, why are you pushing me away? What did I do?" I questioned as Callie had an 'are you kidding me' look on her face.
"Are you just gonna forget everything that happened tonight Brandon? Are you gonna act like nothing is wrong? Like you didn't say anything wrong?" I didn't know what to say, so I just sat there looking down at the floor. "Forget it Brandon. Just please help me into my room before Stef and Lena come to wake everyone up. We do have school today." As soon as she finished talking I lifted her up again into my arms and carried her into her room. I tried to be as silent as I could, as Mariana was still sleeping. I set Callie down on her bed, as she instantly turned away from me. I bent over her and gently placed a kiss on her cheek.
"I'm sorry Callie, I really am" I said as I walked out of her room and hopped in the shower. With only 30 minutes until Stef and Lena came to wake everyone, I knew I couldn't go back to sleep now.
