Stef came in the house again and sighed irritated, which brought Callie back from her thinking.
" Every time. " Stef whispered to herself and walked into to the kitchen to join Lena.
Callie turned around to walk up to her room as she thought about his smile.
It was the first time Brandon smiled in a long time. While he wrote his name down on the girls papers.
And when he walked up again to his room after signing the papers, Mariana rushed to get her computer, wrote down Brandon's name and a few videos of himself was on there.
The whole family was quiet when they heard him sing on the video.
" My brother is famous! " Mariana almost screamed.
The fame started to pour in for Brandon. Money too.
His videos had so many views and the comments is beyond good.
And he suddenly started to change.
He bought those really expensive designers clothes.
" Is that really necessary? " Jude asked at dinner.
" Why not? " He answered simply with his face at his mobile.
" No phones at the table Brandon." Lena said annoyed, not the first time.
" I'm sorry Lena. " Brandon said sarcastic, and walked away from the table, still on his phone.
Everyone was too shocked to talk.
He colored his hair blond.
" Omg! " Stef screamed.
" Why did you do that?! " Mariana said as shocked as the rest of the family.
" Oh, my hair? I like it. " Brandon said, turning to face Mariana. " It's not that I'm trying to fit in in anything, right Mariana? " Mariana looked like she got hit by a truck of hurtness as Lena screamed at Brandon to apologize to his sister. But he just walked past her with that smile of enjoyment.
And of course, the car.
" It's mine. You can just look at it and try to suck it all up. " Brandon said when he had parked outside the house and saw all our shocked faces.
And Callie always blamed herself for it.
She wasn't there for him when he needed her. She was so into the adoption that she forgot about what she had with Brandon.
And she had lost him, right in front of her face.
But she was too blind to see that.
Again.
Callie stopped walking in front of Brandons room.
She missed him so much.
Callie thought she heard wrong, but she heard a sob from down stairs.
" Honey, what's wrong? " She could hear Lena say.
Callie took one step closer on the stairs as she tried to listen.
" I- I can't say it. " Stef cried out as she tried to calm herself down. " I can't. "
" Just say it dear. Its okey. " Lena whispered, waiting for Stef to talk out.
Callie could here Stef collecting herself as she waited for the worst.
" Is it normal that I want Brandon gone? "
Callie could feel that stone again.
" Does it make me a bad mother that I'm tired of him and the crap that he bring with him? "
As Lena was shocked by Stef's statement, she tried to calm Stef down, Callie swallowed down her scream.
It was her fault.
It was her fault that Stef feels this way.
As Callie turned around, she saw Brandons door open for a second before he closed it with a slam.
" Oh no. " Callie whispered to herself.
Brandon slammed the door hard as he leaned against the door.
His mom wants him gone.
Brandon swallowed down threat of tears as he started to walk to the bathroom.
As he took of his clothes, that smelled liquor, he started the shower, letting the warm water clean Brandon up.
He knew he was an ass for what he was doing to the family.
But it's not his fault that they care so much.
Brandon bit his lips.
If he had a kid, that was partying, drinking often, and picking on his family, Brandon would be so angry and sad too.
But Brandon throwed the pity towards the family away.
He remembered when he got kicked out the band, plus Lou breaking up with him, how he only wanted comfort from his mothers and his siblings.
When he asked his moms to talk, they were busy with Callie's adoption.
When he asked Jude and Mariana, they were busy planning out the party for her.
And, when the only time in his life, he asked Callie for a favor, to let him talk out, she wasn't there.
She wasn't there.
And he got so, freaking, angry.
After her adoption, he started to write down his feeling, making them into songs, singing them while filming himself and put it on online.
One song, turned into another, and the videos of himself, became more than one.
The family starts to show up a week after, asking him why he is locking himself up in his room.
And he gets even more angry.
He has been locking himself in his room long before they noticed, but of course, how did they know, when all of their focus was on Callie. When no one was there for him.
So he tells them to go to hell and to shut the - up.
After a month of writing, singing and keeping the door locked, his fame and money is bigger than ever. And he is so happy.
When he search for his name on internet, his name is everywhere.
Even girl have started fanpages. So for the first time in less than two months, when he hears his mother scream for the others that's its dinner time, he goes down to join, wanted to at least be seen and congratulated at his success.
But when he sees everyone on the table sitting, getting ready for the food, no one sees him. And when he looks at his seat, there is no plate placed down for him.
That's where he goes crazy.
The only thing he ever wanted from his family the last two month, was to want someone to look at him, spend a little time to focus on him.
He runs up to his rum again and lock it. Brandon takes up everything that he finds and throws it around his room before falling down on the floor and crying for the first time.
And when he calms down, he looked at the piano, then at the computer.
You can be someone else. A voice said in his head, he remembered. You can be a new Brandon and everyone will admire you.
Even your family.
So he starts right away.
With a card full of money, he goes into stores and buys brand clothes.
He started to get in touch of other famous people from the internet.
He colored his hair blond.
He started to go to parties that his new friends was holding.
He was drinking whenever he wanted to.
He bought a really expensive car.
And each time he did something bad, his family was looking at him.
Angry glares, sad faces, confused stares, he didn't care.
He just loved that he was being noticed again.
Hey guys. I'm sorry that you have to repeat reading Brandon's story, but the last time it was from Callie's point of view. So I wanted to also write Brandon's point of view. Sorry again, this is also a filler chapter, but, wait for it. c:
