A/N: Thank you again to everybody who reviewed! I really appreciate it, they are all so sweet. I'm so glad you guys like the story. Also, in a previous authors note I said there was going to be five more chapters, but that was when the chapters were shorter, so the story itself is going to be short. Under 10 Chapters, unless my brain plans anything else. Thanks again for the reviews! I hope you like the new chapter.
"Callie, is that you?" The police officer got out the car.
Callie faced him. "Mike?"
Mike walked up to Callie. " Is everything okay?" He asked, she smelled the alcohol in his breath.
She bit her lip, to avoid choking at the smell.
"Yeah, everything is fine." Callie said automatically, out of habit. " I just needed to think" she admitted.
" Did the car break down? Do you need me to call Stef, or drop you home?" he offered.
"No!" Callie said a little to loudly. " I thought you couldn't go back to work" Callie said desperate to change the subject.
" Not on duty. But I recognized Brandon's car, wanted to scare him, for laughs" he explained.
Callie could faint of the strong smell of alcohol.
"Do you need me to drop you someplace" Callie offered, not wanting him to be in accident.
"No, I'm perfectly fine" he stuttered.
" I'll call Stef, and have her pick you up" Callie said.
She got her phone from her pocket, and dialed the house number.
She wanted anybody to answer, besides Brandon.
The phone was answered first ring. "Callie?" The voice said desperately.
It was Brandon.
Callie felt like she had her breath knocked out of her, Hearing his voice so concerned for her.
" I'm right on the edge of town, near the forest. Your dad found me. He's.." Callie struggled for the right words. She didn't want to say drunk right in front of him. " not as stable" she said carefully.
With the way Brandon sighed in frustration, she knew he caught on.
" Is Stef and Lena around?" She asked, hoping he'd give the phone to somebody else.
" My mom is in town looking for you. Lena is here" he answered.
Callie sighed in relief, glad she'd be able to talk to somebody else.
"But Callie we need to talk ab-" Callie cut him off.
" Is Jude okay? Nobody told him right?" She asked, unable to wait for the answer.
" Jude is fine, we told him you went out. Jesus is keeping him busy with video games. But Callie we need to talk" he said.
With that, Callie hung up, not wanting to hear anymore.
Callie turned to Mike, who was back in the car, drinking coffee. Or at least she thought it was coffee.
She decided to test out the theory.
She walked towards the car. "Mike, can I have some coffee?"
He shook his head no. " This flavor isn't for someone your age" he said with a loud laugh.
Callie nodded, then turned away, walking further away. So Mike wasn't able to hear the next phone call.
She dialed Stef's cell number.
She answered. "Stef?"
"Callie!" Callie heard the happiness in her voice, but also could tell she was tried.
Callie's stomach twist in shame and guilt. She feels terrible for making Stef look for her so early in the morning.
" Yeah, it's me. I'm in the edge of town, Mike found me. He's drinking coffee" She said, putting emphasis on drinking.
Stef scoffed in disgust. " Okay. I will be soon. Be careful. Love you."Stef hung up.
Callie put her phone back into her pocket. Callie couldn't believe it. Stef said love you. Like a normal parent does at the end of a phone call.
It made Callie feel, special, different.
Callie walked back towards the cars. Mike was sitting in his car, eating a donut and drinking coffee.
Callie couldn't help but think about the irony of the twisted stereotype.
Callie waited for Stef, in Brandon's car. Listening to music, and doing something very dangerous. Thinking.
It lead to really special moments, that made her happy. But then, she'd remember stuff she tried so hard to forget.
Callie's head began to feel light, it began to pound. Callie couldn't stand the pain. She searched the car for some kind of pain reliever. She found none. Callie sighed in anger. All she wanted to do was go away for a while. But instead Mike had to find her, and he had to be drunk. She had to be the responsible one, and call Stef.
Callie felt as if she could never escape.
Now, poor Stef was looking for her, the morning after her wedding. Poor Lena is home without her partner. Callie didn't know much about marriage. But she knew the couple was at least to spend the first morning together.
They should've been enjoying the first day as a married couple together. She felt so ashamed she took this day away from them.
Callie let herself cry. Knowing nobody was going to see her.
Stef came. Callie wiped her tears, and got out of the car.
As soon as she opened the door, Stef ran up to her and hugged her.
"I'm glad you are okay" Stef said.
Then she turned to Mike, who got out the car.
"Mike!" she shouted. " Are you drunk?" Stef's voice had so much authority, it kinda scared Callie.
"Hey Stef, you are looking hot" he commented as he chugged down some more coffee.
Stef rolled her eyes. Stef got her phone out. " Hello, it's Stef. Um, I'm here outside of town, near the forest. Mike is drunk. I need someone to come here to pick him up" Stef said.
Two police cars came, in lightning speed.
Callie felt sick, wondering if any of them remembered her. She ran deeper into the forest. She ran from police, out of habit.
She ran further, until she couldn't hear any of them talking.
Callie hid behind a tree, she wouldn't mind staying for a while. Beats going back to the house.
Her head began to spin again. She felt so dizzy. She wanted to throw up, but realized she couldn't. She hasn't ate anything in days.
Due to the court issue, and wedding issue she was too afraid to eat anything.
Callie heard Stef calling for her, then she fainted.
