Brandon and Callie: Outlaws- Chap 13
I DON'T OWN THE FOSTERS!
"What happened to you?"
"Nothing."
"Callie, seriously. What happened?"
"Brandon and I got in a fight."
"About what?" Mariana asked, sitting down next to her.
"Everything."
"Everything?"
"Yeah, the kisses, what they meant, some things that we told each other."
"Oh. Sorry."
"No, it's fine. I think that we maybe needed to get it all out. I think I'm gonna go talk to him," Callie said, standing up.
"I don't want you to," Mariana pulled Callie back down. "Why should you always be the one to cave?"
"Always be the one to cave?"
"Yeah, when he got mad at you for telling me everything, you caved, you were the first one to apologize. Then after the all the kisses, you always caved. So please, Callie, don't cave this time. Wait for him to come to you."
"I don't cave, but okay. I will wait for him to come to me."
"Thank you."
"Mariana, can you pass the bread please," Stef asked.
Mariana passed the bread. "So, guess who will be helping me and Tia in our dance team!"
"Don't," Callie said, looking at Mariana.
"Callie!" She yelled.
Everyone looked at Callie and then congratulated her.
"Well, dancing just got a whole lot more interesting," Brandon said.
Callie looked at him seriously.
"Can I come to your rehearsals?" Jude asked with a teasing sound to his voice.
"No," Callie said, shaking her head.
"I think that is great Callie," Lena said. "You will make an incredible addition to the team."
"Thanks."
"She's also going to sing," Mariana said.
"That's really cool Callie," Stef said hugging her.
"Thank you, now can we please change the subject."
"Of course."
"Oh, sorry," Brandon said when he came into the bathroom to see Callie.
"I'm just finished brushing my teeth."
"I would really like to talk to you about that fight."
"Sure."
"Can you wait in my room? I'll be there in a sec."
"Okay."
"Sorry it took so long…" Callie was sitting on his bed, clearly upset about something. He sat down next to her. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"Sophia tried to kill herself again."
"What?"
"Robert had told her that I wasn't going to live with them for awhile and she…" she started to cry. "This is all my fault."
"Hey," he hugged her. "It's not your fault."
"Of course it is. If I would have gone to live there, she probably wouldn't have done anything."
"You don't know that Callie," he paused. "She could have tried something then too."
She stood up and went to sit on the box in front of his bed. "You don't have to do that."
"Do what?"
"Comfort me."
He walked over to her and sat down on the floor, so his chin was resting on her knees. "You're my best friend Callie. Comforting you is my job."
"But not after that horrible fight we just had," she started sobbing even more.
"Oh Callie," he sat down next to her on the box and hugged her.
"Sorry," Jesus said, walking in on Callie and Brandon hugging.
They separated. Callie wiped her tears away. "No problem. I was just leaving," she told Jesus. "Thank you, Brandon. We'll talk later."
He nodded and turned around to Jesus, "What's up man?"
"I just wanted some girl advice."
"You're coming to me for girl advice?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Nothing, I'm just not an expert, but I will try. How can I help?"
"So you know Emma right?" Brandon nodded. "Well, I want to try to impress her, but she told me that we were just gonna be friends. How do I move past that?"
"I don't know if you can. Usually when they say that you are in the "friends zone," there is no going back."
"Ah man. She was actually the one girl I hadn't rushed things with."
"You mean, haven't had… with."
"No, she's the only girl I haven't talked to," he said, jokingly. "Of course, dude. Man you're loosing your edge."
"I am not."
"Oh, you so are."
"Fine, whatever. Let's just talk about what you should do."
It was in the middle of the night when Callie decided to give up. She to get some drink, so she went into the kitchen and Stef was up.
"Couldn't sleep?" she asked, when she saw Callie.
"Not really. You?" Callie sat down.
"Nope," she poured some water into a cup. "Tea?"
"Yes please."
"So, what's keeping you up?"
"I got a call from Robert," she paused. "Sophia tried to kill herself again."
"What?" Stef asked with great concern.
"I don't know all the details quite yet, but I was hoping that maybe I could go to the hospital tomorrow and see them."
"Of course love," Stef said handing Callie her cup and sitting down.
"Thank you. I'm just really worried about her."
"I understand that."
"Even though I'll probably never forgive her for what she did, but I certainly don't want to see her hurt."
"Of course."
"I just wish that there was more I could do for them."
"You're doing it Callie."
"Why can't you sleep?" Callie asked, wanting to change the subject.
"Mama and I got into a bit of a disagreement."
"About what?"
"That is between me and mama."
"Of course," she took a sip of her tea. "Thank you for the tea and the company, but I think I'll take it with me upstairs. Not feeling the greatest."
"Of course love. Sleep well."
"Love you."
"Love you too."
"Callie, what are you doing here?" Robert asked when he saw Callie coming down the hallway in the hospital.
"I came to see Sophia," she said, hugging him. "And to see if there's something I can do."
"You just being here is everything you can do."
"How are you feeling?"
"Tired."
"What happened? If you don't mind me asking."
"I had told her that you needed more time and that you were just going to stay at our house every other weekend, and she seemed to be taking it pretty well, until after dinner…" he paused.
"You don't have to tell me the rest if it's too soon."
"No, I don't mind. Jill went to check up on her cause she hadn't been out in awhile, and that's when she found her on the floor."
"She'd cut herself?"
Robert looked down at the floor, his eyes filling with tears. Callie hugged him again.
"I can't help but feel responsible."
"Don't, Callie," he looked at her. "It's not your fault."
"Can I see her?"
Robert nodded. They walked to her room and Jill was asleep by her side.
"If you and Jill want to go home and have a shower and have nap I can stay with her. I'll call if she wakes up."
"Don't you have school?"
"Lena gave me the day off. I have some books with me."
He nodded and walked over to Jill and woke her up. He whispered something in her ear that made her stand up. She walked over to Callie and hugged her. "Thank you."
"My pleasure."
"And you'll call if she wakes up before we get back?"
"Of course, Jill. Don't worry."
When Callie got home it was time for dinner, and everyone had started.
"Let me get you a plate, love," Stef said, standing up. "How's everything with Sophia?"
"Good. She's woken up, so that's a good sign."
"When can they take her home?" Lena asked.
"Not for awhile. I think that they're putting her in rehab again."
"What happened?" Mariana asked.
"I would really like not talk about it," she nodded towards Jude. "Maybe I'll tell you later."
Mariana nodded.
"Promise me and mom that if you ever feel like you want to try something like that, that you will come to us, or a sibling, or even a teacher or a friend, okay?" Lena said, anxious to get an okay from everyone.
"Of course," everyone said.
