Chapter Two

"Oh" was all Callie could choke out. His old girlfriend was in town?

"C-cool" She muttered, giving Bradin a reassuring smile afterwards, letting him know she wasn't upset. He smiled back.

"Why is she here in Playa Linda?" Callie asked, trying to sound as nice as she possibly could, when all she wanted this Lily chick to do is crawl back to Kansas, and not ruin their relationship. Bradin returned the smile, and shrugged.

"The question never even crossed my mind" He said, and hit the button on the cash register to enter the money Lily had given him for the shirt. Callie gulped, and bit her lip, trying to think of something to say.

"Well um, I really just stopped by to say hi- but I'll call you when you get off, maybe we can go see a movie or something?" She asked, hopefully. He smiled and nodded. She smiled as well, and turned around to walk away when she felt Bradin grip her arm, spin her around and lay a sweet soft kiss on her. When they pulled away a second later, she gave him another bright smile and a small wave as she turned around to walk out of the store.

When she exited the store, she stopped walking and took a breath. She noticed Lily getting a drink at a hot dog shop across the street. She looked at her for a moment. Lily was definitely the barbie type. Long blonde hair. Ice blue eyes. Gorgeous. But Callie loved Bradin, and he loved her. Nothing was going to change that. Nothing?

----------

Bradin walked down the empty sidewalks of Playa Linda, to the movie theater. He was already running a bit late, but Callie would understand. He heard some talking and looked forward to see a group of girls hovering over a table at the hot dog shop.

"Alright, I'll talk to you girls later. Bye" He heard a familar voice laugh as he continued to walk. He watched the girl walk away, and noticed by her golden blonde hair, that it was indeed Lily. He smiled and jogged forward a bit, tapping her shoulder. She spun around, and smiled at the site of Bradin.

"Hey Bradin. Nice to see you again" She said, with a small laugh. Bradin just smiled.

"So, where ya heading?" She asked in her cute farm girl accent.

"Oh, nowhere. Just out for a walk. You?" He asked. Liar, he scolded at himself in the inside. She took a seat at one of the unoccupied chairs, and looked up at him.

"I was hanging out with some of my friends, but got bored" She answered, as Bradin took the empty chair next to her.

"So, I never got around to asking, but what brings you to California? Vacation?" He asked, brushing some of his blonde hair out of his eyes. She sighed.

"No, we moved here last Monday. Ryan's training to be a marine biologist, and my mom and pop thought it would be better if I came lived here for awhile" She said, and he nodded. It was silent for a moment. The only noise that could be heard was the crickets.

"So, how you doing? I mean, with your parents gone and everything" She said quietly. Lily had been the only girl that Bradin had said goodbye too. Not even his best friend. He just up and left, he was so upset. He sighed, not wanting to think about his parents.

"I've been fine. I'm already used to it" He said quietly. He looked away, but turned his head back when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked at Lily, getting a eyefull of flashbacks from Kansas. She smiled.

"Hey- do you remember that time you tried to convince Derrick that mud monkeys were real, and he didn't believe you. So you covered yourself in head to toe with mud, and scared the hell out of him?" Lily asked, giggling at the memory. Bradin stared off into nothing and laughed.

"Yeah, I remember that. I got grounded for three weeks. And Derrick had nightmares for three weeks" He said, chuckling. She laughed, and then her face turned serious.

"I miss those days, Bradin" She murmered, adding a soft sigh after it. He gulped.

"Yeah, so do I. I miss them like hell" Bradin said, knowing that he had said that to more about someone else than the days.

"Hey, Bradin? Do you wanna go.. get a smoothie or something?" Lily asked suddenly. He looked up at her. Sorry, I have to go meet Callie- Well, thats what Bradin wanted to say. He just couldn't pull himself to it. He gave her a smile.

"Sure" He said, and stood up, extending his hand so she could get up. She smiled at him, and they walked away.

--------

"Where is he?" Callie sighed to herself. She looked at her watch. 7:38. The movie started at 7:30, and Bradin said he would meet her there fifteen minutes earlier. She bit her lip, and sat down on a step. Bradin had a big family. And Callie understood that he had responsibilities. The only thought that was bugging her was why he couldn't have called her cell to tell her that. She had already tried his, and he had it off. She sighed once more and held her chin up with her palm, and waited some more.

----------

"Bradin, you're obviously mistaken! I did not lick the pole- Christina did!" Lily exclaimed, the cold water licking her toes. Bradin let out a laugh and looked at his watch. 9:27. Shit.

----------

Callie tried to regain her anger as she looked at her watch for the last time. It read 9:27. That was it. She took a breath and stood up, and began walking home. She walked past the beach, still upset. She heard two voices, that sounded a lot like Bradin, and another girl. Her breath stopped, and she contemplated wether or not she should check and see if it was Bradin. She gathered her thoughts and smacked herself upside the head.

"Bradin would never do that to me" She said, and smiled to nobody. Never.


Hey guys, I understand in the previous season finale of Summerland- Bradin&Callie broke up. But since I am a huge fan of Callie, the story will continue the way I have planned it out. Thanks for the reviews, keep it up!
