Hello! Thank you guys for reading and liking the story, I really appreciate all the kind words. Here is another chapter enjoy :)
The next morning Callie made sure to put on al long sleeve shirt before going down to have breakfast.
"Good morning slug a bug" Stef greeted her as she entered the kitchen
"Morning mom" Callie said sitting down at the table
"You're up early" Lena said squeezing Callie's shoulder
"Yeah I didn't sleep that well" the young girl admitted.
"Why? Did you have a nightmare sweets?" Stef met Callie's gaze
"No, I just have a lot on my mind"
Callie answered looking down on her hands. Stef and Lena looked at each other, both starting to get a little worried.
"Wanna talk about it?" Lena asked.
"No I'm fine" Callie shook her head.
"Okay but we're always here if you need to talk" Stef said "You know that yes?" She took Callie's hand.
"Yes I know" Callie looked at her mothers trying reassure them that she was okay. Why couldn't she just have kept her mouth shut? Now they knew or at least suspected that something was wrong.
"Hello earth to Callie?" Callie heard Stef's voice.
"Sorry what?" Callie asked snapping out of her thoughts.
"Lena was asking you what you would like for breakfast sweets" Stef answered, her eyes meeting Callie's. Callie could see her mother's eyes starting to fill with concern.
"Um just a toast I guess" Callie said not really feeling like eating.
"You sure you're okay love?" Stef asked again trying to get a answer out of her daughter.
"Yes I told you I'm fine!" Callie snapped "Sorry" she quickly added after hearing how angry she sounded. Stef shared another look of concern with her wife.
"Alright honey" Lena said calmly, putting a piece of bread in the toaster "We just care about you and if something's wrong we want to help". Callie looked down at her hands again and then up at her mothers.
"I know, but I promise I'm fine" she tried to sound as convincing as possible.
"Okay Callie if you say you're fine, we believe you" Stef sighed in defeat.
"Thank you" Callie said taking a bite of her toast.
Callie, Brandon and Jude where hanging out in the living room
watching tv.
"Why are we watching this?" Brandon pointed at the tv.
"Come on Brandon" Jude said "It's Keeping Up With The Kardashians" he smiled cheeky. Callie and Brandon sighed in unison but smiled at their little brother. Once the teens has finished the episode they heard steps coming towards the living room, it was Stef.
"Hi babies" she smiled as she plopped down on the couch beside Brandon. "What ya watching?"
"Well we where watching the Kardashians.." Jude started
"Oh really?" Stef chuckled at her son "Ahm Calls?" Stef said "You're phone has been going off like crazy in the kitchen love"
"Mhm" Callie didn't take her eyes of the tv.
"It's probably that boyfriend if yours sweets" Callie immediately looked away from the tv. Shit. She hadn't thought about contacting Sam today, after last nights event she didn't really want to. Callie felt panic rise in her chest. What if he was mad? Had he been trying to call all day? She quickly rose from the couch and mumbled a thank you to Stef as she made her way into the kitchen. The phone was laying on the kitchen counter being charged, she had left it there this morning after breakfast. Callie took the phone in her hand and made her way into the garden, her hand clutching the phone that she hadn't even looked at yet. Callie sat down under her favourite tree and tried to relax. Why am I so nervous? She thought to herself. Yes, Sam had been acting weird last night but maybe everything was fine now and he wasn't mad. Callie relaxed her hand and looked at her phone. 5 missed calls,15 texts and one new voice message . All of them from Sam. She sucked in a breath and started to read through the texts one by one. They where all about how sorry he was for last night. He said how much he needed her to forgive him and how he couldn't live without her. This made Callie uneasy, it was the way he wrote, something was just..off. She then went on to listen to the voice message.
"Callie..Callie I need you to answer me.." he sounded distraught" I need you. I can't live without you and I'm so so so sorry. Cal if you can't forgive me.. I could never live with myself. If you don't forgive me I'll.. I'll kill myself" the message ended. Callie felt her heart sink in her chest, was he serious? She quickly dialed Sam's number and put the phone to her ear. With each signal that sounded without an answer Callie became more and more panicked.
"Come on Sam" she mumbled under her breath "Pick up,pick up, pick up please pick up". Callie felt tears burn in her eyes, a lump form in her throat and she was on the verge of a break down. Just then she heard a voice on the other side of the phone "Callie?" it was Sam. Callie let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and let a few tears spill.
"Yes, Sam" she said "It's me" she tried to sound calm.
"Are you okay?" Callie asked with a hint of panic in her voice.
"Yeah. I'm fine" Sam answered "Look babe, I'm so sorry for last night". More tears rolled down Callie's face. "It's okay" she breathed "I'm just so happy you're safe. That message really scared me".
"I know, I'm sorry" Sam answered "I need to see you" he said "Now" he added.
"Yes, yes of course" Callie really wanted to see him too. "I've just go to talk to Stef and Lena but I'll meet you at the beach in fifteen minutes?"
"Sure" Sam argeed " Love you"
"Love you too" Callie said as she hung up the phone. She sat under the tree for a few minutes trying ot calm herself. She wiped her tears away and went back into the house.
Callie was sitting on a bench on the beach with Sam next to her. He was holding her hand trying to make everything normal.
"Why did you say that?" Callie broke the silence "That you where going to kill yourself?" she felt the need to whisper. Sam looked at his girlfriend his face showing no emotion.
"Babe" he started "I didn't mean that"
"Sam what you said is very serious" their eyes met "And it's not just something you say"
Callie tried to read her boyfriends face but he still didn't really show any emotion. She waited for him to say something but he never did.
"You really scared me" Callie tried.
"I just wanted you to talk to me" he answered
"Yeah I get that but you can't just say things like that to get someone's attention" Callie spoke seriosly. That's when she saw something change in Sam's face, instead of having no emotions he looked frustrated almost angry.
"You can't tell me what I can and can't do!" he said harshly letting go of her hand.
"What?" Callie said confused about his sudden mood change.
"If I want to threaten you with killing myself then I will! You don't control me" he almost shouted getting up from the bench. Callie felt tears burn in her eyes.
"Why are you acting like this?" her voice was shaking.
"I'm acting like this because you're a controling bitch!" he sad now shouting at Callie.
"Stop it Sam! There are people here!" Callie tried to calm him made him even angrier.
"You're doing it again. Trying to control me!" his face was now starting to turn red.
"Let's go" Callie grabbed his arm trying to take him somewhere less public.
"Let go!" he pulled his arm back and out of nowhere slapped Callie across the face. Callie's legs gave way from the force of the slap and she fell onto the grass next to them. It took a few seconds for Callie to realise what had just happend. She put her hand up to her face feeling her now sore skin, to her suprise her cheek was wet. Was she crying? Yes, yes she was crying. Tears where pouring out of both eyes, she felt herself shaking with sobs. Why would he do that? Why the HELL would Sam hit her? At the thought of Sam Callie felt herself starting to get more worked up so she looked around, no sign of him. Callie got up slowly, trying her best to fight the dizziness that hit her. She went slowly over to one of the benches and sat down trying her best to calm down. Once sitting down she saw that she'd manage to cut her leg pretty bad. There was no way she was walking home on that leg so Callie pulled her phone out and dialed the number to the only person she wanted right now. Her mom Stef.
So I felt like this chapter is kind of weird but I just wanted to really show what kind of person Sam is.
