New chapter. Read and review please. Now, go read.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Callie, Freddie, and the plot.
Callie looked around the corner and saw the 4 Gray boys sitting on the couch laughing.
"Let's take this upstairs." Callie whispered, dragging her best friends upstairs behind her.
"Look girls," Callie started as soon as they got settled in the guest room, Callie lying on the bed, Alex and Mitchie on the couch. "I think it's a bad idea. As in me and Jason. Dating."
"Wait, why not?" Alex questioned, not caring if she wasn't whispering. It was just them girls.
Well, until Jason came up to the door. He was just about to open it and go in when Callie said, "Why not? Because…because I don't like him -" But before Callie could finish, the door slammed open.
"You…You don't like me Callie?" A lone tear ran down Jason's cheek as the words came out of his mouth.
"Jason? What? I… I can explain." Callie stuttered, getting up and walking toward Jason.
"No. No it's okay." he said, putting his hands up defensively. "You didn't come here for a boyfriend. You came here to baby sit Freddy. I'm just in your way." Jason's voice quivered at the end of the sentence.
"Wait, Jase, please listen to me." Callie pleaded, reaching for his hand, but he pulled away before she could.
"I…I have some birds to draw." he slumped out of the room into the hallway.
"Jason…" Callie dropped to the ground.
"Calls, you don't like him?" Mitchie said, thoroughly confused.
"No I don't." Callie shook her head and Mitchie and Alex's jaws dropped.
"CALL -" they started to say.
"No. Let me finish. I don't like him… I… I think…I think I love him."
"And that's why you can't date him?!" Alex was puzzled. Aren't you supposed to love the person you're dating?
"Because, I think I love him too much. And this might be the last time I'm babysitting here." Callie sighed.
"WHAT?! LAST TIME?!" Mitchie shrieked. Not too long after, Nate, Shane, and Freddy came running in.
"WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?!" Freddy screamed.
"Guys, I have something to tell you. But…you can't tell Jason." Callie whispered.
"What Calls?" Freddy asked, worried.
"I'm…My parents…I'm…They're making me…" Callie didn't know how to say it.
"Cassandra Alexandria Adams, just spit it out." Mitchie commanded, startling her boyfriend and friends.
"Well…I'm…I finished college early. I guess that's what I get for taking 5 billion classes a day." Callie laughed humorlessly.
"So? Isn't that a good thing?" Shane pressed on.
"Sure, for you maybe. But for me, it means something different." Callie looked down into her lap.
"What? Different, how?" Nate tilted his head.
Callie took a deep breath. "I promised my parents…"
The gang nodded, telling her to continue.
"That when I finished college…"
Freddy told her to go on.
Callie took a staggered breath than continued.
"That I'd move back to England."
Okay, chapter 8. I'm sorry if it's a little short. Oh, and I don't know if you can finish college early, but for this story, let's just pretend you can.
