Authors note- Prompt by GrayLady117 Sam throws a tantrum about not being told. I changed it up a bit. I hope you like it.Because if I'm being honest I still have mixed feelings about Jallen and I can't help it.
Callen walked through the back door of his house to find his large partner closing his front door. He walked closer to him with an extra beer in his hands. "Hey, did Michele go?"
Sam turned to face his partner and somewhat bluntly answered, "No."
"Okay, then who?" Callen said holding the beer out towards Sam.
Sam took the beer and placed it on the table beside him. "Just your ex-girlfriend."
Callen raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking abo… oh."
"Oh?" Sam said defensively. "An 'oh' is all she gets when you dated her for a year and a half."
Callen shrugged. "I didn't think you knew."
Sam shook his head at his partner. "No, I didn't know. Not until about an hour ago when I found Nell, my un-biological little sister in your kitchen crying and had to peel the bottle of vodka out of her hands."
Callen stared down at his feet uncomfortably. "Is she okay? What happened?"
Sam took a step away from his partner in case he got too angry. "I'll tell you what happened. You and Nell took off like a rocket ship. I knew there was something different between you two but it never occurred to me that you were in a serious relationship. You were her world for a year and a half and then suddenly you just dropped her. No clear reason why. You dumped her just around the time you started dating Joelle. No feaking break in between! Now a year later we all sit around the barbeque, none of us having any idea you and Nell used to be on fire, all of us listening to you and Joelle announce your engagement. Nell had to sit there with a fucking smile on her face and pretend to be ecstatic hearing about your news when really she was breaking even more inside. I just… I can't believe you did something like this to her."
Callen raised his bottle to his lips and downed the last few drops. "What do you want me to say, Sam? We broke up, I moved on, she didn't and now I'm starting a life with someone else and she just has to live with it."
"I can't believe you seriously just said that. You moved on after one week after leaving a beautiful and intelligent woman who had so much love for you. You know what? Maybe she doesn't deserve you. Actually, wait? I know for a fact that she doesn't deserve you. She doesn't deserve to be with someone who does this kind of thing to her. She deserves to be with someone who has unconditional love for her, she deserves someone better."
Callen began walking away then stopped. "You're right she deserves someone way better than me because I do not deserve her!" He shouted angrily.
Silence filled the room as both men stared at each other. In that moment Callen realized he was still madly in love with her but had let his insecurities get in the way of having it work out.
