"What did you just say?" Callie asked as she glared at Bradin. She had sat up and was now looking him in the eyes.
"I love you Callie" he responded, knowing that he didn't say that
"Nice try, you said Sarah. I can't believe I almost slept with you" she replied as she got up,
Bradin grabbed her arm "I didn't mean to, it was a mista…" he was interrupted by her slapping him across the face
"Don't even say that, I know it's a lie. You still love her! I can't believe I've been tricked for all these months, thinking you forgot about her. You loved her and that won't change, I was just a distraction until she came back!" Callie stormed out of the cave and walked toward the beach. I'm glad Emily did that she thought it would have saved me from making the biggest mistake of my life. Tears rolled down her cheek as she fell to the ground. She felt a hand on her back. "Get away from me Bradin" she replied in a harsh tone
"Ok" a voice said that she didn't recognize "But whoever this Bradin person is, he's not here"
Callie turned around and saw a hazy figure. She wiped her eyes and saw a tall brunette standing over her. "I'm sorry" she started "I thought you were someone else"
"It's ok, speaking of, are you Ok, you don't look so good" she saw the sincerity in his eyes.
"Yeah, I think I just broke up with my boyfriend"
"You think, usually you know when you do or don't" he laughed.
Callie smiled. "I guess you're right, I should know, but I don't. I was about to sleep with him and he called me by his ex-girlfriend's name. And I have no idea why I just told you that"
"It's ok. Wow, this guy must be a total jerk. He doesn't deserve a girl like you" He smiled at her
"Thanks, but you don't even know me, how do you know I'm not as bad as he is?"
"Because someone who was just like him wouldn't be here crying on the beach, she would be going to find the next male she could sleep with to get back at him"
"You don't even know him, and how do you know that… you seem like you have had experience in that department" she glanced at him
"I am, I used to be just like this guy, but ever since this one girl walked away from me, I've changed. She meant everything to me and it took her walking outta my life to realize it."
"Are you still with her?" Callie questioned
"Nope, I haven't seen her since the day she left. She's made herself disappear."
"Her name's not Sarah is it?" Callie questioned
"Nope" he laughed "I suppose that's the name of the infamous ex"
"Yep, actually, I'm kinda glad it happened. I would have made a huge mistake being with him if he still has feelings for her" She got up
"I know this is kinda forward after what you just went through, but do you wanna grab an ice cream or something"
"Its not forward at all" Callie responded "But aren't you a little old to want ice cream? How old are you anyway?"
"I'm only 18, and I just turned 18, and no I love ice cream, but I'm not from around here, wanna lead the way?"
"Sure" she said as the two walked along the beach toward the pier. In the background, Bradin started at them and then at his cell phone. He considered calling Sarah and telling her what happened, but he stopped. He wanted this thing with Callie to work, he just needed to give her time
A/N Short, I know, but I wanted to upload tonite. The next one will be longer, it'll be the surf competition.
