Chapter 6
BrandonPOV
As soon as I wake up, my mind immediately jumps to what happened last night. That was amazing. To finally be able to kiss her, and have no interruptions, and have that bonding moment when I told her about Charlotte. I look over to my clock to see that it's nine o' clock. I jump out of bed, take a quick shower, and go downstairs to check if there is anything for breakfast. Nope. I walk upstairs and go over to Callie & Marianna's room. Huh, Marianna, Jesus and Jude are not back yet. I make a mental note to call and check out what's happened. They probably just stayed over night.
Callie is awake, and actually getting dressed. Why didn't I knock? She is in her bra and some jeans, in the middle of putting a top on.
"Hey," she smiles at me.
"Hey. Um. I was wondering if you wanna come with me to get some breakfast, we don't have anything in the house."
"Sure."
A minute later, we are sitting in my car, driving to some bakery.
"So...um...last night...?" She starts the conversation, interrupting the awkward silence.
"Yeah. That was good."
"Really good," she agrees.
"Look, I really liked what happened last night, twice. So I was wondering if maybe we could actually go on a date?"
"Yeah," she says, while smiling. Good, I'm glad she wants this too.
"Tomorrow night?" I ask.
"Sounds great." She replies. It's not awkward now. It's silent, but it's a comfortable silence. When we arrive at the bakery, ask for my order, and then turn around leaning back on the counter.
"Brandon?" I hear my name being called, and recognise the voice. But who is it?
CalliePOV
"Brandon?" I turn around, to suddenly see Brandon embracing a small, petite, but very pretty girl, with long blonde hair, and a pretty floral dress. She's the type of girl whom you would expect to see with someone like Brandon.
"Wow, Sky, I never thought I would see you here! What are you doing here?"
"We'll, my parents had to go away this Christmas, so I'm staying with my auntie and uncle. I guess my parents were scared I would throw a party, which I probably would have anyways." She gives out a small giggle, and I find myself being insanely jealous of this girl. But I shouldn't be, I mean Brandon just asked me out on a date.
"Here's your order," says the guy behind the counter. I guess Brandon is too busy to even pick up the order. When I look over, they look very close, gushing their words out. They look as if they have either been together forever, or best friends who haven't talked in ages. I hope it's the latter.
Brandon motions me over. I slowly make my way over there, cautious of the situation I am about to head into. 'Sky' smiles at me, while Brandon introduces me as 'Callie, a friend.' What the hell? I push those thoughts out of my head, smile at Sky, and say it was nice to meet to her. But of course, it wasn't, it was horrible. Apparently they go to college together, for which I gets twinge of jealousy. This girl gets to spend most days with B. Brandon looks very into the conversation, so, surprising myself, I say: "You guys look like you need to catch up a little more. Why don't you spend the day together? Brandon, me and Ryan will be fine. Hope you have a great day." Then I rush out of the shop before either of the, have time to protest. Brandon glances after me, sending me very confused looks. What did I just do?
Luckily, the bakery is close to the house, so it's walking distance. On my way home, a few tears slip out, once the realisation hits me: I may have just lost Brandon. I'm never going to get an equal chance at anything with Sky in the picture now. Doesn't matter. In those few hours in which I believed I could get everything I wanted, I felt amazing, and happy for once. But of course it was never going to happen, and nothing would ever work out that perfect for me.
When I arrive at the Fosters, I guess my eyes a little red, and my cheeks a little blotchy and puffy. I put my hand in my pocket for the...dammit! Brandon has the key. I start ringing the doorbell, over and over, again and again, waiting for Ryan to wake up, or just get to the door.
Eventually, after 10 minutes of me ringing the bell, he comes to the door. He is in pj bottoms with no top, and he is incredibly built. I guess I must have been staring at his chest, his abs for about two minutes. He laughs and opens the door wider.
"Hey, where have you been?"
"Getting breakfast," I hold up the bag of pastries.
"Oh great thank god, I am starving." I set the bag down on the counter, and start unpacking it. Once it's all unpacked, he dives in, grabbing two pastries, some fruit, toast I just made, and some orange juice.
"Haha you were really hungry!" I laugh and grab some food too. Maybe this day wouldn't be so bad after all...
RyanPOV
Today has been amazing. I mean, seriously, this day has been properly perfect. I can't remember the last time I laughed and smiled so much in one day. Callie is amazing. She is pretty, fit, cute adorable, funny, smart, and she actually sees past my body, and looks into my personality.
It was just us today, Brandon was with some college friend for the day, while Callie and I spent the day doing nothing really. In the morning, we had breakfast and them watched tv and ended up snuggled together. I'm not a hugger, or a snuggler, but with Callie I am. We went out to lunch, some greasy burgers and chips. Then when we went to see a comedy/horror movie, which was great because I could hear her musical laugh, and see her beautiful smile, and then at times in the movie when she was scared, I would put my arm around her, and she would lean in.
I kinda wished that Brandon would stay gone.
We are coming back from the movies now, and when we go in, Callie walks over to the phone, where there have been ten missed calls, and when she pulls out her phone I see that she has basically the same. Something's going on, and I can tell she is very worried.
"Don't worry Callie, just see who it is and what they want. Everything is going to be okay." I console her, while rubbing her back.
She is on the phone for ten seconds and you can see her facial emotions change completely. When she first called this person, she was happy, and almost carefree. But as soon as the person on the other end of the line says something, she looks as if her world has ended, that I want to put joy upon her face. But I know that whatever has happened, I know I can't.
She puts the phone down, and that face, makes me want to hug all her pain away, all her unhappiness, sorrow, sadness.
"What is it," I ask, hoping and praying it isn't something too serious.
"There's been an accident.
