Callie woke up sweating, her entire body was aching. She immediately knew what it meant. She slowly climbed out of bed, careful not to wake Mariana up. She reached for the bottle of pills and let the last two in the bottle fall in her shaky hand. She eyes them for a second before popping both in her mouth, swallowing them with some water. She placed the empty bottle back under her bag and climbed back into bed. She realized that she would have to find new pills, she hated having to go out on the streets to buy some. It was scary. She felt tears burning in her eyes, the yearning for a hug grew bigger and bigger. She was almost ready to get up and walk over to Stef. She had no idea why she was feeling like this, maybe because of the drugs in her system or the lack of sleep. She held her pillow tight against her chest as she felt hot tears prickle down her cheeks, she wiped them away furiously. She hated crying.
'' Callie?'' It was Mariana. Callie quickly wiped some of her tears away '' yeah?'' replied Callie, trying to steady her thick voice. '' Are you okay?'' she added, her voice still soft. '' Yeah, fine'' nodded Callie, she softly tried to blow her nose. Callie heard movement in Mariana's bed and heard her bedroom door open. She listened to Mariana's footsteps, she wanted to stop crying but the tears kept coming. '' Callie?'' it was Stef, Callie didn't turn around but closed her eyes, hoping that it would look like she was sleeping. '' Mariana said that it sounded like you weren't feeling well'' she whispered, Callie felt Stef sit down on the bed as another tear rolled down her cheek, which didn't go unnoticed by Stef. '' Please talk to me sweets'' sighed Stef, as she placed her hand on Callie's leg. This time she didn't flinch. '' Callie, I love you'' she whispered, Callie snapped. Tears were rolling down her cheeks faster and faster , and her breathing was getting quicker and quicker. '' Callie, calm down'' sighed Stef as she softly stroke Callie's leg. Callie's heavy breathing soon turned into a full on panic attack, Stef grabbed Callie's body and forced her against her chest, stroking her brown hair. Stef stroke Callie's brown hair as she muttered kind words in Callie's ear. It had been the first time Stef had touched Callie for longer than three seconds, Callie's breathing was started to even. '' Listen to my heartbeat'' whispered Stef, '' It's okay'' she added as she stroke Callie's hair. They sat like that for a while until Callie finally calmed down. The realization that she was getting hugged slowly dawned on her, but to her suprise ; she didn't mind. She lay in Stef's arms as her breathing controlled again. '' Thank you'' whispered Callie, as they finally let go of each other. '' You don't have to thank me for me comforting you, sweets'' smiled Stef as she caressed Callie's cheek. '' It just has been a long time since someone held me'' sighed Callie as she wiped some dry tears from under her eyes. '' I'm sorry if I come off as non affectionate, affection means love, and I am so scared to love you because I have been left and thrown out so many times'' whispered Callie. '' You can always come hug me or mama. You know I love hugs'' chuckled Stef. Callie smiled slightly, her head pounding because of the crying.
'' Is it ok if I go see Wyatt for a while?'' asked Callie after their breakfast. Stef and Callie hadn't spoken since her little breakdown in the middle of the night, so she avoided her gaze. '' Sure love'' smiled Lena uncertain as she exchanged glances with Stef. '' I won't be long'' said Callie as she reached for her coat. Callie grabbed her bike and started cycling towards her regular spot, she locked her bike and walked over towards the corner of the closed swimming pool, she waited patiently at the entrance. She saw the familiar dark car stop, and watched as Jimmy got out of the car. He slowly made his way towards the brunette. '' Callie'' he nodded, as he showed her the bottle. Callie read the label before handing him her money. Callie had slowly gotten familiar with Jimmy, he was a 21 year old law student selling his father's pills in order to pay for law school. Callie thanked him, and put the pills in her coat. She watched Jimmy walk away and then walked towards her bike. She drove to the Cafe near the swimming pool and ordered some coffee. She took small sips of it as she sat there staring outside, Stef had cared for her so much last night yet Callie betrayed her like this by buying pills again. She really wanted to stop but was frightened of the feelings she would feel once she stopped.
Once she decided she had waited enough she went back home, she placed her bike against the wall and walked inside. She felt like they would be able to see the pills through her coat. '' Hey sweets'' smiled Lena when she saw Callie enter, '' Where's everyone?'' asked Callie as she reached for the orange juice. '' Mariana is in her room, Jude is at Connor's again, Brandon is playing piano and Jesus is obviously still asleep'' smiled Lena as she watched Callie walk through the kitchen. '' Okay'' shrugged Callie as she grabbed some candy too. She made her way upstairs, but bumped into Stef when she arrived upstairs. '' Oh, you're home'' smiled Stef, Callie nodded as she tried to move her way past Stef. She felt the bottle move in her coat, she was instantly afraid that Stef heard. '' Had fun?'' she asked. Callie nodded again. '' Hey sweets, follow me for a sec'' sighed Stef as she walked towards her bedroom, motioning Callie to follow her. Callie sighed slightly, she turned to look at her bedroom door before following Stef. She placed her orange juice next to her and sat down on the bed where Stef was already sitting. '' So about this night'' sighed Stef, she even dared place her hand on Callie's leg. After last night Callie didn't flinch. '' What made you so sad?'' she asked as she looked Callie in the eyes. '' Don't know'' shrugged Callie, '' Sweets, please try'' sighed Stef, she knew Callie had placed her walls back up, and it was rather hard to get through them once they're up. '' I was just sad, it happens'' replied Callie, her eyebrow raised. '' It does, but you can always come to me. That's why I'm here'' smiled Stef. '' But you're not here always. I am going to get send away soon and then You won't be there anymore and I'll be alone and sad and tired. I can't grow attached to you because you will leave me'' sighed Callie, she took a sip of her juice. '' Lena is going to kill me'' whispered Stef as she looked up to the ceiling. Callie raised her eyebrow '' why?'' she asked. '' Because Lena and I have been talking about adopting you and Jude'' smiled Stef. '' R-r-really'' stuttered Callie, she felt tears burning in her eyes. '' Really'' nodded Stef. Callie lunched forward and wrapped her arms around Stef. Stef was startled, Callie had never made an advance to hug her or touch her, but suddenly the 16 year old was hanging on to her for dear life. '' Please act surprised when Lena and I will tell you about the adoption'' whispered Stef in Callie's ear as they were hugging. Callie merely chuckled.
After her talk with Stef she went back to her room. Mariana wasn't there anymore so she grabbed the bottle of pills in her coat, she was scared Stef would hear them in her coat but she fortunately didn't. Her hands were sweaty and she knew it was because she hadn't had pills for a few hours now. She placed the bottle in her nightstand, under her secret later and grabbed two out of the bottle and swallowed them. '' What are you taking?'' asked Stef whom just entered the bedroom. Callie hadn't noticed Stef entering. '' Advil'' replied Callie quickly, Stef raised her eyebrow and walked a little closer towards Callie. '' You still not feeling well?'' asked Stef as she placed her hand on Callie's forehead. '' You're not warm, maybe we should go to the doctor'' suggested Stef as she sat down next to Callie. '' No need, just had a headache. Probably getting the flu'' shrugged Callie. Stef still didn't look convinced but decided that it was a problem for another time. '' I just came in to tell you again that you should not tell Lena or Jude about the adoption. Act as surprised as you can. I know you can act'' chuckled Stef. '' Don't worry. I will'' smiled Callie. '' How about you go take a shower, It would help with the headache'' suggested Stef, Callie stretched her limbs and nodded her head '' Yeah, that be good'' she said. Stef followed Callie out of the room and waited until she heard the shower get turned on.
Stef entered the bedroom again and walked over towards Callie's side of the room. Her mind was racing as she stuck her hands under Callie's mattress. Nothing. She moved over towards the closet and stuck her hands under Callie's clothes and in the pockets of her clothes. Nothing. She then walked over towards the nightstand, she opened it and moved the papers aside, she wanted to close the nightstand again but noticed a broken corner in the back of the nightstand. Stef's hand reached towards it, she moved her nails under the broken corner and the wood lifted up. Stef had tears sprung to her eyes when she found the pills and a blade in that secret part of the nightstand. She slowly reached for the pills and read the label. Vicodin.
