So I am having writers block right now. Let me know if you hate this chapter, if you do I will redo it.

Its hard to keep writing now that we have seen the "real" outcome of what happend when Jay & Bradin came home. Email me if you want to talk "Summerland" 7

Bradin froze in his tracks. He hadn't expected Jay to talk to him. Bradin thought about going

inside and just ignoring Jay but at the same time he wanted to put everything behind him and

get things back to normal. Jay started the talking and it was Bradin's responsibility to make

sure that it kept going. He shut the door and went and sat in the chair next to Jay.

Bradin reached for a beer in the cooler between them just to test Jay, to see if he would react.

"What the hell do you think your doin'?" Jay snapped. He had passed Bradins test.

"Nothing." Bradin said.

"Thats what I thought" Jay said with a smirk.

Bradin started to talk. Not knowing Jay wanted to hear anything he said or not but Bradin had

to get everything out.

"Erika and I were discussing you and her. Not her and me. She told me that what happend with

her and I was a mistake and that it wasn't real and that its only a physical attraction and no

true feelings there. Erika cares about me but not the same way that she cares about you. She

loves you, Jay and as hard as that is for me to sit here and tell you that its true. As much as it

kills me that Erika doesn't feel for me the same way that I feel for her, it kills me even more to see that you guys being so in love with each other and being so miserable at the same time.

I love you guys so much. Jay, you are my big brother and you have always been there for me and no girl, not even Erika is going to change how much you mean to me"

Jay got up out of his seat. Bradin a little nervous. Jay was a ticking time bomb. Bradin was ready for a rude or smart remark and even had readied himself for a punch in the face. Jay grabbed Bradins arm so he was standing right in front of him, face to face. Bradin had beads

of sweat rolling down his face. He had closed his eyes, ready for what was about to come.

"I love you too, Bradin" Jay said grabbing Bradin and hugging him tightly.

Bradin couldn't believe him. He had finally got through to Jay, finally things were going to be normal again.

Callie sat in her room looking at the picture that Bradin had gave her. It was the picture of when

Bradin had rented a horse for Callie to ride on the beach. A little smile came across her lips

remembering how happy she once was with him. She started to think back on all the times that

they shared together. There definatly were some great times but then again they really didn't have much in common. She started to think back to what Lucas had told her. Maybe Bradin wasn't

the guy for her. The more she thought about it the more she convinced herself that although

she loved Bradin, she knew that she wouldn't ever be happy with him in the end. She started to

think that maybe her and Lucas could have something. She definatly wasn't going to jump into

anything right away but maybe if she just gave it a chance...

"God your beautiful" a familiar voice said interuppting her thought.

She looked up to see the blond, Blue eyed surfer just starring at her.

"Uh Bradin, what are you doing here? And how did you get in here? she asked confused.

"I snuck in the hallway window, it was open. Sorry if I scared you, I didn't mean to. Callie, I just

really had to see you" he proclaimed

"Why?" she asked.

"Cause I was talking to Erika tonight..." he began

"Of course you were, its always about Erika and it always has been about Erika" she shot back.

"Let me explain please. If you don't want to talk to me after this thats cool, just let me explain"

he pleaded.

"Fine." she said crossing her arms across her chest.

"Yes, Erika and I were taking tonight. We had some issues that we needed to work out. She

made me realize something though. Something about you. You are my best friend Callie.

When I fell for you, I fell for the person that you are on the inside, not the outside. I liked Erika ever since I first got here because of her physical attraction, I like you because of who you are. You are the most beautiful person in the world inside and out. I don't want to loose you and if I have to loose you because I have been an huge jerk, atleast tell me that you will be my friend"

Bradin couldn't even believe that he just said that. Wow, he thought to himself, that was good.

Callie had no words. She didn't know what to do. Now that she accepted that her and Bradin were over and she was ready to try to have something happen with Lucas Bradin does this.

She just sat there not knowing what to do.

"Callie please say something, I am dying here" he pleaded.

"I-I-I don't know what to tell you. I waited and hoped for the past couple of months that this

would happen and when I finally am ready to move on and get passed what you did, you have

to stir things up again and now I am right back to where I started. How can you play such mind games with me?" she began to cry. She was so frustrated.

"Ready to move on? With Lucas? Someone told me that they saw you guys and that you two

looked like a 'couple'. If its true just tell me and I will accept it, but I need to hear it from you"

Bradin waited

She didn't know what to do. Should she not let her guard down again and just tell him that her and Lucas were together? She wanted to move on and get over Bradin, but at the same time

she loved him and wanted nothing more but to be with him.

"Lucas and I were friends and maybe something more, I don't know yet. I am still trying to

figure it out, and by you coming in here and messing everything up it just makes everything so much harder" she claimed

"I will give you time and space to figure it out. I am just a phone call away, whenever you need me" he said. It hurt saying this but he didn't to push her either. He leaned over and kissed her on

the forehead, whispered goodbye and left Callies house.

"Oh my god" She kept telling herself over and over again.
