Callie woke up to hearing Stef and Lena whisper softly.
She kept her eyes closed, wanting them to think she's sleeping, so she could listen.
She tried to listen to each and every sound, trying to figure out where she is. She stretched, and hit her hand.
She realized she was on a couch, she is at the house.
Callie groaned, she didn't want to face them.
Her stomach growled, reminding her why she fainted.
She got up, and the whispering came to a stop.
" Hey Callie, you okay?" Lena asked.
Callie nodded. " I know you haven't eaten in a couple days, so I made some pancakes, eggs, and hashbrowns."
Callie smelled them, making her stomach growl more.
She made her way to the kitchen table, where Stef and Lena were sitting.
Stef gave her a hug and Lena gave her a kiss on the head.
She starred at the plate of food in front of her, and dug in.
She was really hungry, plus eating avoided questioning.
Stef and Lena waited for her patiently.
Once Callie was done, she put her plate in the sink, and made her way back to the kitchen table.
"Where is everybody?" Callie asked realizing the house was way to quiet.
" They took Jude out for breakfast, nobody knew you fainted" Lena answered.
" Is Mike okay?" Callie asked.
" Yes, but you need to stop worrying about everybody else, we need to talk about you" Stef said.
Callie cringed at the words.
" Why'd you freak out when Brandon found out?" Stef asked.
Callie stared at the ground.
"Callie, you can trust us" Lena said.
" What did Brandon say?" Callie said.
" He didn't say anything. Your reaction was enough" Stef said.
'' Are you afraid he'd do what Liam did?" Lena asked softly.
Callie didn't answer,how was she going to tell them it was that and so much more.
"Well..."
As soon as Callie began to talk everybody barged in the house.
Callie looked at Jude, who looked at her, then Brandon, and ran upstairs.
Mariana looked at Callie's hurt expression. " I'll go up there and talk to him"
She walked upstairs.
Jesus silently followed, sensing the tension.
"Moms" Brandon said.
Callie felt sick, just hearing his voice.
" Is it okay if I talk to Callie alone?" Callie got up, but Stef held her hand.
"It's okay Callie" She whispered.
" We'll be in our room" Lena said, and with that they left the room.
Callie stared at the ground.
" We should go outside, for more privacy" Brandon suggested.
Callie wordlessly followed.
They made their way to the front porch.
" Was what you told Jesus true?" he asked.
Callie nodded, wishing to do anything more than have this conversation.
" Why?"
Callie felt anger run through her.
He was there when Jude saw them.
He was there when her second of happiness turned into bitterness.
He was there, and didn't even go after her.
He didn't even speak to her during the wedding.
"Why?!" Callie yelled. " I let myself have one moment of happiness, and it gets completely ruined. Jude called me selfish, for being happy" Callie felt tears about to come, but made them stop, letting her anger take over. " He hates me know! My own brother hates me, he can't even look at me. Finally after everything that happened, I get five seconds of happiness, and it gets taken away."
She took a deep breath.
" So yes Brandon, I tried killing myself. And as this horrible day continues, I wished I had succeeded. Because, honestly what's the point. If I can't be happy, then I don't see the point of living" Callis said, tears rushing down her face.
Brandon just stared at her, unable to get words out.
Callie was furious. She ran inside, slammed the door, ran upstairs, and ran into her room. She cried into her pillow, not caring if anybody saw.
About ten minutes later, Mariana walked in, and sat on Callie's bed.
"Hey Callie" she said softly. " You okay?"
" I'm fine" she lied.
" We both know that's not true. You were yelling pretty loud. I wanted to make sure you were okay" Mariana said.
" Did Brandon come back inside?" She asked, letting the curiosity get the best of her.
" Yeah, he is in his room, playing really really sad songs" Mariana said, a hint of sadness in her voice.
Callie sat up. " I'm so sorry. I feel horrible. Ever since I came here I feel as if I've ruined the family"
Mariana looked Callie in the eyes. " Don't think that, we all love you"
Callie broke down crying again. " You should've let me done it Mariana" She said voice cracked.
Mariana hugged her, trying to comfort her.
" Callie.."
" You should've let me pulled the trigger"
" Callie don't think that way" Callie sat up.
" I'm going to quote Lilo and Stitch" Mariana said with a small smile. " I think it might help"
Callie wiped her tears.
" Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind"
Callie smiled. She loved that movie, but memories of the first time she watched it haunted her.
She was watching it with Jude, at one of their first foster homes. The foster parents left them alone, which they did a lot.
So they decided to watch a movie. Lilo and Stitch was on. She remembers the pain she felt when she found out Lilo and Nani's parents died.
The pain of losing her mother was fresh, Callie cried, not caring if Jude saw. Seeing the movie changed her, she wanted to be Jude's Nani. A protector, someone who will always take care of him.
But now, she realized she needed a Nani too.
She looked up at Mariana and smiled. "Thanks" she whispered.
Her voice was cracked, she probably looked like a mess, but she didn't care.
Memories of her mother burns in her mind, reminding her of the broken girl she was, and how that part of her will always be there.
She cried again, thinking of her mom. Mariana comforted her.
Callie realized she found her Nani, actually a home full of them.
