"Callie, come on, come out, you have school!" Lucas said, pounding on her door. Callie walked opened her door and faced him, glaring,
"Would you just stop yelling at me? I was getting ready," she said through her teeth, shaking her head.
"Fine, but you better hurry up or you'll be late," Lucas said, walking back downstairs.
"wait, you know I'm not even that mad at you, because you didn't not want me, and you didn't let him walk away from me, but you did keep it from me," she said, making him stop in his tracks.
"So are you talking to me?" he asked her, smiling.
"I guess I am, but don't keep your hopes up, I could cut this off in seconds," she said, beating him down the stairs. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed a muffin, then walked out, making no eye contact with her mom or siblings.
"What's wrong with Callie?" Penny asked, nibbling on her toast.
"It's nothing, finish you breakfast," Lucas said, giving Peyton a look.
Callie walked to Jenny's house, because they walk to school together everyday now, since Jake has to be at school earlier.
"Hey Jenny," Callie said, trying to be as happy as possible, as she watched Jenny run from her house.
"Hey Cals, what's wrong? You look upset," Jenny said, noticing her quietness.
"Did you ever know your mom Jen? Your real mom," Callie asked her, more less wondering out loud.
"I met her like once or twice, she wasn't the nicest person to my dad, why?" Jenny asked, confused.
"I have to tell you something, brace yourself, you ready?" Callie asked her friend as they walked.
"Anything, tell me," Jenny said, anxious.
"You've met my dad's brother right? Nathan Scott, lives a couple streets over," Callie asked, trying hard to get this out fast.
"Yah, plays with your dad right? He's pretty nice,"
"Ok, this may come as a shock to you, I'm still in shock but I have to tell someone,"
"What is it?"
"He's- hes my dad, my birth father"
"What? Nathan Scott is your dad? I'm confused,"
"So am I, but it's true,"
"Wow, seems like a touchy subject at the moment, moving on, first game tonight!"
"I know, I am soo happy, basketball is like a getaway,"
"I know exactly what you mean,"

At practice after school, Callie was still upset. She was missing all the shots she always makes, and she seemed to be getting angry over a lot of stuff. The only good part of practice for her was getting number 20 for her jersey, her lucky/favourite number. They were playing a game, the first line (which Jenny and Callie were both on) versus the second line, and the second line ended up winning.
"Alright, that's practice for today, be here at 6:30 tonight, oh and Callie could I talk to you," Jake instructed after practice. callie sighed and headed over.
"Yah?" she asked him, kind of upset she had to talk to him.
"Is everything okay? You seem kinda stressed, you missed almost all your shots today and-" She cut him off.
"I missed my shots, I'm sorry, I'm not perfect,"
"Callie, is everything okay? At home?" he asked her, worried about her attitude.
"I don't want to talk about it, just leave me alone," she said, turning away and walking into the locker room.
"Jen, you're going to tell your dad what I told you aren't you?" Callie asked, changing quickly.
"Not if you don't want me to," Jenny said, "Is your dad picking you up?"
"Most likely, he alway's talks to your dad about practice, so he'll probably tell him about it," Callie said sighing. She walked back to the gym to see Lucas talking wit Jake. She sighed, and walked away from them, not wanting to talk to either of them.
"I'm walking home," she called out, leaving the gym. She heard Lucas call something back but she ignored it, whatever it was. She knew what he had called the second she stepped outside, rain. She had an urge to run back to her dad, but she didn't, she walked. She walked down the streets of the small town, and she stopped in front of K&K cafe. Wait, she thought, techincily Karen sin't my grandma anymore, this sucks.
She kept walking, the rain pouring harder and harder. She felt really cold and lost, but she knew she was close to her house. Or so she thought. Moments after she passed the cafe, a car pulled up at the side of the road, with a rolled down window.
"Callie, you need a ride?" the driver yelled over the sound of the pouring rain. She squinted her eyes to see who it was, and it turned out to be Nathan. She was going to turn him down, but she wasn't too sure of where she was and she was wet and cold, so she took it.
"Um, thanks," she said, getting into the passangers side.
"No problem," he said, driving along. Between them, there was some sort of tension. Not a bad tension though, a better tension. A tension that said they both wanted to talk, but neither of them would. They pulled up to her house, and she smiling lightly.
"Thanks again," she said, looking him in the eye.
"Anytime, good luck tonight," he said as she got out. She smiled and watched him drive away, and she walked into the house, still smiling.
"That was a quick walk," Lucas said, giving her a confused look.
"I got a ride from a friend thanks," she said, walking to her room and shutting her door behind her.
"What is wrong with Callie?" Cameron asked this time, Lucas just giving him a blank stare.
"It's nothing, don't worry,"
"If it's nothing then how come she won't leave her room? Which she has been in since yesterday, unless she's at school," Penny said, defending her sister.
"It's nothing, now go and...um watch your tv," Lucas said, getting up and heading into the kitchen. Peyton was cooking something in the kitchen for dinner, so Lucas took a seat at the table.
"I talked to Jake today, after Callie's practice," he started, getting Peyton to turn around.
"And...about what?" she asked him, in a worried way.
"he told me that she wasn't paying attention at all, and she seemed distracted and she was missing all her shots," he said slowly, trying to remember everything Jake had said.
"Jake knows that she's really Nathan's, what did you tell him?"
"That she knows,"
"And?"
"I don't know, she's been quiet lately, and quiet is usually not a Callie emotion, she will barely talk to me, she won't talk to you, and she snapped at Jake today," Lucas said slowly, really worried.
"I know Luke, I'm worried too, she's going through a hard time right now, she won't even make eye contact with me," Peyton said, taking a seat next to her husband.
"We have to talk to her, we really do," he said, looking into her eyes.
"You mean like an intervention? That'll be kinda tough on her,"
"But, it might be the best thing to do,"

That night, the Ravens' won 65-63. It was a close game but the ravens' were still happy, even Callie broke out of her upset mood to celebrate. She even hugged her dad. Her whole family had showed up to watch and Nathan showed up too. Nathan hadn't sat with Lucas and his family though, he had just stood and watched at the gym door. When they got home that night, Callie tried bolting off to her room, her usual routine but her door was locked. She walked back to the living room, where her parent's were sitting.
"Why the hell is my door locked?" she asked, her good mood slipping away.
"Callie, watch your mouth, and come sit down," Lucas said, motioning to the chair. She took a seat slowly.
"What?" she snapped at them, seeing a worried look on her moms face.
"We have to talk,"
ok thats all for now, thanks for readin! R&R and any ideas! thanks!
