Chapter 14

Brandon's P.O.V.

I drug my eyes up to confront the person at the door. I found Callie's hand and held onto it with my own, squeezing it. I was trying to show her that I was never going to abandon her, even when the going got tough.

"Is anyone going to answer me?!" The person at the door yelled again.

There, standing in the threshold, eyes wide in shock, stood Lena. She looked at Callie and I, as if seeing us for the first time, and demanded her answer. What happened next definitely suprised me.

"Uh-uh sorry Lena, uhm, its all my fault, Brandon had nothing to do with it" Callie said nervously, as she released my hand.

"No! Callie! This was my fault too, stop trying to throw yourself under the bus" I said angrily.

Lena still stood there, speechless, and stared at us. Callie spoke up once again.

"This was all me, I-I dont know what I was thinking, but you and I both know Brandon is way too good for me, and I'm just some trashy girl, so please, send me away if need be, but dont punish B-Brandon, because this was not his fault" Callie pleaded.

By now I was furious! 'What was she trying to do?' I asked myself.

"Please, just let him go. This is my fault" Callie begged again.

Then I understood what Callie was trying to do. She was trying to protect me, like she does with Jude.

"Wha- Callie, for someone with no interest in you, Brandon definitely seemed as into that kiss as you were. You did not act alone in this, and if you think for one second that you're not good enough for him, you're wrong again. You're wonderful Callie, and I would be overjoyed if you two were together... Under different circumstances" Lena said, finally speaking up.

"You're not seperating us" I said again, as I silently found Callie's hand to cling to for the second time. She squeezed my hand and I ripped my gaze from Lena to stare at my beautiful girl in the hospital bed. She gave an almost imperceptible shake of her head, trying to tell me to let her take the blame. I couldn't contain myself any longer. In the blink of an eye, I was kneeling next to Callie, so I was eye level to her. I brought my hand up to her cheek and caressed her face. Rubbing small circles on her cheek with the pad of my thumb.

"Callie, I will not let you take the blame for this. We're in this together, and I love you too much to see you leave again" I said earnestly.

"I love you too, B" Callie said almost inaudibly.

My heart started pounding, and I started to question if I'd actually heard her correctly. 'Callie loved me back?' I asked myself, not believing it.

"Wh-what?" I said, shocked.

"I love you too" she said again, more confident this time.

I cupped her face with both my hands and brought her in for a kiss, afraid that it might be our last one. The electricity and spark that racked my body as we kissed was indescribable. I tried to remember every detail of her lips and the feeling of her skin. The way her lips fit perfectly with mine, or that little sigh of content that escaped her lips, as she slowly relaxed in my arms.

The sound of someone clearing their throat brought me back into reality. Our lips parted, and the spot where her lips just were felt unbearably cold. I faced Lena again, prepared to fight for Callie, in any way I needed to.

Lena stood by the door still, but this time when I looked at her, I noticed the tears running down her face. Lena opened her mouth to speak, and then closed it again. Unsure of what to say.

"Please mama, dont split us up" Callie said suddenly, on the verge of tears.

Lena stared at Callie, and another sob left her mouth as she walked towards us. I was confused at why Lena was getting so emotional, until I realized Callie had just called Lena 'mama'.

Lena bent down and hugged Callie fiercely.

"Sweets, I dont know whats going to happen yet, but I'm going to do what I can to," she gestured between Callie and I "save whatever this is" Lena said sincerely.

Callie took both Lena and I by suprise, by wrapping Lena in a tight hug. Lena froze for a second, shocked, and then hugged Callie back.

My heart lifted, as I finally began to think that everything might turn out all right.

Lena's P.O.V

I hugged Callie, suprised at how open she was to the affection, and even more suprised that she had called me Mama. We finally released our hug and I stood back up, racking my brain at how we were going to handle this situation. I was still confused at how exactly Brandon and Callie had come to be together, but looking at both of them now, I'm suprised I hadn't noticed the chemistry there before.

"S-So, you'll let us... stay together? Brandon asked hopefully, as he scooted closer to Callie again.

"Honey, I dont know any of this is going to work just yet, but we'll figure it out. There has to be a solution here somewhere" I said as I rubbed Brandon's shoulder.
