The return of Callie ch 10

Thanks for all of the support! I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter, I hope you guys like it!
On Saturday morning Callie woke up to the sounds of people moving around in the kitchen. She had to figure out how she was going to ask them if she could visit Liam in jail. She went downstairs slowly, trying to figure out who was down there before they saw her. It was only Stef, Lena and Brandon.

"Good morning!" Callie said as she entered the room Brandon looked up and went to pour her a cup of coffee.

"Morning Callie! Hey I have a question, how would you like to get your driver's license?" Callie was shocked and took the mug from Brandon with her mouth hanging open. Brandon smiled and kissed her on the top of her head.

"Uh yeah! I would love to get my license, but don't I need a learner's permit? I don't know a thing about driving." Lena answered her question.

"Yes you need a permit but the school offers after school driver's ed. class for a few weeks if you would like me to sign you up?" Callie smiled

"Yeah! Yeah that would be great!" Stef looked at her suspiciously.

"What's on your mind Callie?" Callie hesitated, she had no idea how they would react. Brandon would hate the idea of her seeing Liam.

"I was wondering if I could go visit Liam in jail." Everyone in the room froze.
"Why do you want to do that?" Asked Brandon in an even voice, but Callie could tell that he was hiding his anger.

"Because he tried to ruin my life and I want to make sure that he knows that he failed." Brandon put down his glass of water.

"Callie you don't need to visit him to prove that, he already knows that because he is there and you are here! If he doesn't know that then he is thicker than I thought." Stef had a calculating look on her face. She sighed before answering.

"If you want I can organize a visit at the jail." Callie was relieved

"Thank you" she said as she picked up her coffee and walked out of the room. Brandon was outraged.

"WHAT? WHY ARE YOU LETTING HER DO THIS?" He said not so calmly, his mother answered in a calm voice.

"Because if we didn't let her go then she would have gone by herself, you know her Brandon! You know that she wouldn't give up!" Brandon took a steady breath.

"I know her and I love her. Fine. If she is visiting Liam in jail then I am going with her." Stef nodded and Brandon left the room. He found Callie in the living room.

"How much of that did you hear?" He asked cautiously, that wasn't exactly the way he wanted her to find out that he loved her."

"Just you yelling, I didn't hear Stef's response or whatever you said after that." Callie said innocently, it was the truth too. Brandon sat down next to Callie and turned her to face him.

"Well if you really want to go visit this guy in jail then I am coming with you," he said with a voice that wouldn't allow any argument. Callie nodded, because secretly she had hoped that Brandon would come with her. Brandon leaned in until their foreheads were touching, and Callie went a bit farther and kissed Brandon on the lips. He returned the kiss with passion, moving one hand to cup her face while the other rested on her hip. After a few minutes they were interrupted.

"Break it up!" Said Stef as she walked through the living room and went upstairs. Callie laughed; Brandon loved the sound of her laugh. He went in for one last kiss before they could be interrupted again. When they broke apart he decided that she ought to know how he felt.

"I love you." Callie said before Brandon could.

"I love you too." He answered with a smile, Callie smiled back. Together they walked back into the kitchen hand in hand so that they could finish their breakfast.

It was Sunday, Liam hasn't gotten a single visit from anybody since he got stuck in this hell hole, not even his parents came by. His only company was low life prisoners who were also stuck here for life. So when an officer came in one day, he had lost track of time, he was surprised. Probably my parents, he thought. Maybe they had forgiven him or gotten over the fact that he was a 'disgrace to the family name' or so his father put it. When he got to the room where his visitors were waiting, he was surprised to see Callie and her boyfriend sitting at the table. He thought for sure that his outburst in the courtroom had landed her, at the very least, in a group home.

"Hey Callie, miss me?" He quickly looked at Brandon to see his reaction. The kid tensed up but didn't say anything.

"I just wanted to tell you the news Liam." She paused until he returned his attention to her.

"And what's that?" He asked, half expecting her to be pregnant with his kid. But no, if that were the case she wouldn't look so happy.

"Jude and I are still living with the Foster's; they know Brandon and I are dating. Oh and Brandon and I just received full scholarships to Julliard. My point is you tried to destroy my life, I'm just letting you know that you failed." And with that, she got up and left the room, Brandon followed her with a smirk on his face.

Liam was frozen. He could not believe what he had just been told. He stood up calmly but then his demeanor suddenly changed, and he lashed out and flipped over the table, screaming in anger.
Brandon and Callie, who had not yet left the building, heard the noise and turned around. Brandon got in front of Callie just in case someone escaped he wanted to protect her. One of the officers ran towards them.

"The young man you visited got very angry and flipped over a table, we sedated him but I am going to have to ask you to leave." He said firmly, Brandon nodded.

"Yeah we were just about to go." Said Brandon, and he and Callie left to go back home.

"Was that what you wanted?" Brandon asked Callie in the car.

"Yeah, I'm ok now." Brandon looked at her with a shocked look on his face.

"Ok now?! Like you weren't before?" Callie sighed.

"Physically, I'm fine. Mentally however, it's been taking me a while to get over the whole almost dying thing. Seeing Liam the way he is, it gave me some closure." Brandon looked sad.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked softly. Callie looked away from him.

"Admitting that I'm scared, that something bad really affected me. It's not easy." Callie sighed, Brandon understood, he forced her to look at him, holding her face in his hands.

"You don't always have to be the strong one you know, especially not around me. I understand that you had to take care of Jude all his life, because you never had a good home. But now you do. You only have to worry about yourself now. Please." Callie nodded; she had tears in her eyes.

"Thank you." She said softly. He kissed her on the cheek before starting to drive. All he wanted was a night alone with her. Hopefully they would get their chance soon, but only if she was ready.

'I want him' Callie thought to herself, then she caught herself, surprised to discover the truth. Yes she loved him, but was she really ready for something like that? Yes. She answered her own question. They would never get a chance though.

Both Callie and Brandon were surprised when they got home that day. Everybody was just sitting down I dinner and Callie and Brandon joined them.

"So the week after next is spring break, as all of you are fully aware. I just want to make sure that everyone knows what everyone else is doing so that they can plan accordingly. Jesus, you are going with the Rivera's to that camp right?"

"Yeah!" Jesus answered as he helped himself to some chicken. Lena continued.

"Momma and I are taking Mariana to Florida to a weeklong seminar on underage drinking, if you behave and don't complain on this trip Mariana, you will no longer be grounded at the end of it." Mariana nodded

"That leaves you three. Any of you have any plans?" Jude answered.

"You said that I could go to Conner's birthday party? It's a sleepover from Tuesday night until Wednesday morning."

"That's right; do you have a gift for him?" Asked Stef.

"Uh no." Answered Jude, Lena nodded.

"I can take you shopping after school tomorrow." Jude smiled.

"Thanks!" He said

"What about you two?" Lena asked Brandon and Callie. Both shook their heads.

"Momma and I are going to leave plenty of money for food, please do not throw a party while we are gone." Said Stef.

"C'mon mom! Look who you're talking to! Are any of us likely to throw a party?" Asked Brandon.

"Fair point." Answered Stef. After all this was Jude, who wasn't old enough to have these kinds of parties that Mariana loves to attend; Callie hates them and Brandon's the good guy.

"Well I guess that's settled!" Said Lena and soon the conversation turned to less interesting topics. But Brandon wasn't listening. He was going to be able to spend a night alone with Callie. Without anyone getting in the way.

Love or hate the direction I'm taking this in? I honestly don't know what to think about it. Tell me ur thoughts. I am finally on Winter Break but I have family visiting so I won't be able to update….probably. I also haven't even written the next chapter and that will take a while. Please leave a review and tell me what you think!
