The dynamic in both households have changed. The Fosters household consists of a betrayed son who is mad at the world, a mother trying to console her son and at the same time trying to make up for the lies she told and the youngest member trying to put his family back together. The Adams household consists of a depressed daughter who feels the world is out to get her, a mother who is heartbroken that she may have lost the loves of her life and a pair of twins who are oblivious to what's going on. They all feel like they have hit rock bottom. But at least they all love each other and love will see them through.
Stef POV
"Brandon, please come in my room" Stef asks her son. She is feeling so disconnected from him that she is borderline depressed. She decides two weeks has gone long enough without a word from Brandon and she hopes he has calmed down a little since then. He has been grounded so she expected him to be home but not confined to his room for two weeks. She doesn't even know what he's been eating on the last two weeks. Jude keeps her up to date on what he's doing, which isn't much. Jude is the only person Brandon talked to. He says that Brandon avoids Callie at school at all cost. Her thoughts are interrupted when Brandon walks down the stairs, looking like he hasn't slept in the entire two weeks since the fight.
"Brandon baby I am so sorry I didn't tell you about Lena. She wanted me to but I was afraid to let you know If this wasn't a fling" Brandon doesn't say anything so she continues.
"And Brandon, please don't be mad at Callie. She wanted to tell you but we asked her not too" That's when he looks at her with hurt in his eyes.
"She lied to me. You lied to me. Why does everyone think I won't understand or something. Mom, I know it would have been an adjustment you being with my girlfriend's mom but you should of told us instead of us having to find out the way we did. I am not a baby. Neither is Jude. It's like you are hiding from us. And Callie, I know she was just doing what her mom asked but I thought we were closer than that. How can I even trust her anymore?"
"Do you deep down feel that you can't trust her?"
"No mom. I love her so much and I miss her. But after the way I reacted, how can I face her again. I regret everything I told her. I feel like my heart is ripped out" Brandon says with tears in her eyes.
"Aww baby, come here" I attempt to hug him but he pushes me away.
"No, mom this is your fault. My life is over"
"STOP, PLEASE!" Jude yells from the stairs. Brandon and I stand there in shock.
"Brandon, you know mom didn't mean to hurt you. You told me that. You are just mad at yourself for being stubborn and not calling Callie. This isn't about just you . Mom deserves to be happy too!" Jude says defending me, bringing me to tears.
"Jude, you told me yourself you were mad at mom for not telling us" Brandon says defending his actions
"I know but then I realize what mom always told us, you can't help who you love. And neither can you Brandon. Talk to Callie please. Save as all the drama" Jude says and goes back upstairs leaving us both quiet and deep in thought.
"Brandon you want me to be honest. Well I know what you are going through because I feel the same way. I feel when Lena left my heart was ripped out my chest. I am in love with her and she won't talk to me." Brandon starts to cry harder and runs into my arms
"Mom, I am sorry. I do want you to be happy and I noticed you were very happy. I just didn't know it was Lena that was the one that can make you happy. Mom what are we going to do? I am miserable without her and I know she probably hates me for the way I reacted?"
"Jude, put some shoes on we are going somewhere. Brandon, let's go make things right" He smiles at me and runs upstairs to get ready. We have to make things right and get our women back.
The Adams Household
Lena POV
My house Is not the same. Callie doesn't come downstairs anymore. She is locked in her room. I grounded her for spending the night at Brandon's dad's apartment. I took her phone, partly because I didn't want her obsessing with Brandon not calling her. She is so heartbroken. I finally told the twins about Stef and the entire situation. While they were happy for me they were also sad for Callie. She didn't even want to talk to them. I take some food up to her room. When I go in, she is laying there sobbing. It breaks my heart.
"Callie baby you have to eat something"
"No, I don't want anything."
"Callie please you have to get past this"
"How mom? At least you don't have to see Stef every day. Brandon avoids me. When he sees me he hurries up and goes the other way. I don't even know if he has tried to call because you took my phone. Just please LEAVE ME ALONE" Callie yells at me.
"Just because I don't see Stef doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. I miss her just as much as you miss Brandon"
"I doubt that" She tells me. My thoughts are interrupted with the doorbell. Then I hear Marianna yell
"Mom, Callie it's for you" We look at each other puzzled. I leave her room and head downstairs to see Stef and Brandon at the door, both holding a dozen roses. Jude has already went in the living room with Marianna and Jesus. I love there bond.
"What are you both doing here?" I ask them. I see Brandon is looking for Callie. "She is up in her room. Go ahead"
"Thank you Lena and I am sorry about my reaction the other day. I am glad you make my mom happy." He says while hugging me. I can barely speak from the tears in my eyes.
"Thank you Brandon. And I am sorry for asking Callie to lie. She has been miserable" I tell him.
"It's okay. I understand now. I've been miserable too" He tells me when he heads upstairs.
"Hey Marianna, Jesus, Jude, please can you go to the park for a little while and give us some privacy" I tell the 3 kids in the living room.
"Ugh I hope we don't walk into anything when we get back" I hear Jesus whisper to Marianna and Jude
"I heard that young man that just earned you an extra week of dishes"
"Aww mom I was just playing" He tells me.
"Just go please!" With that they walk out. Jude stops and gives his mom a hug and waves by to me. He is such a sweet kid.
"Look before you say anything I just want to say I know how hard this is and I am happy you made up with Brandon-" Before I can finish Stef grabs me and kisses me like there is no tomorrow. I would of fallen back if it wasn't for her grabbing onto me. God I miss this woman. My stomach feels like a pack of hyenas are running around. When she pulls back I am speechless.
"I am sorry Lena. I should of done this a long time ago. I love you and I am not ever letting you go. "
"You better not" With that we kiss again. This time it's more passionate. When she pulls back a thought comes to my mind.
"I hope Brandon and Callie makeup"
"I know my son. They will. He won't leave until they do" Stef says reassuring me. We decide to walk to the park to meet with the other kids giving Brandon and Callie privacy. Hopefully it all goes well.
Brandon POV
I stand outside Callie's room for about I don't know how long, thinking of what to say. I heard mom and Lena makeup and I am genuinely happy for them. Now I need to fix this. I finally knock. When she doesn't answer I slowly walk in. I see her laying in the bed.
"Callie. Are u okay? You didn't answer when I knocked"
"I heard you. If I didn't answer that means you don't walk in." Callie tells me harshly.
"Callie I am so sorry about everything. I shouldn't of reacted that way. I was just mad"
"Brandon, please stop! Go away!" She says and I can tell she is crying. I walk around to where I am facing her and knell down.
"Brandon I didn't want you to see me like this" She tries to turn away but I stop her.
"Callie I miss you so much. I am so sorry I reacted that way"
"Brandon I know I didn't tell you but I didn't lie to you. I tried to tell you but you wouldn't even listen to me. I felt like you don't trust me and you wouldn't even give me a chance to explain. You ignored me in the hallway at school. See, this is why I don't open up. I always get hurt" She says between sobs. I start to tear up at what I did to her.
"Baby I'm sorry I just felt you didn't trust me enough to tell me. But I know I was wrong. I wanted to call you so bad and come over but I was too stubborn but baby I need you. I can't go another day without you"
"I am sorry too. I need you too" Callie says as she wraps her arms around me and hugs me. I feel like the pieces of my heart are finally coming together with her in my arms. I place a soft kiss on her forehead, causing her to shiver. I look into her beautiful eyes and I kiss her, letting all the pain, the suffering, the hurt, all of the emotions I felt to wash away with this kiss. I have never felt such a need for someone in my life. I crawl in bed with her while I am kissing her. There Is so much heat radiating from this kiss that I pull away. She looks at me puzzled.
"Callie, I see where this is going and I can't right now. Not while your family could be coming back soon"
" I didn't even know they were gone but I understand. Will you just hold me please? I miss your arms around me"
"Whatever you want my love" With that she rests her head on my chest while I play in her beautiful hair.
"I love you so much Callie"
"I love you too Brandon"
With that we both fall asleep, getting some much needed rest that we haven't gotten in two weeks. I know if we can get through this. We can get through anything.
TO be continued…
