DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but the plot, Freddy & Callie.
"Wow. She was great!" Mitchie gushed.
"But not as great as you." Shane cooed, kissing her nose.
"Gross, get a room would ya?" Alex cringed into Nate's arms.
"You're lucky you don't live with him." Nate sighed. "Mitchie likes the color green. She painted her nails black yesterday. She's so cuddly and soft." Nate mimicked his older brother.
"ME?! HA. Alex, he gushes about you all the time too." Shane laughed. "Alex made me a sandwich today. She made it with love, just for me. She smells like cookies." Shane mimicked his younger brother.
"AW!" Alex and Mitchie cooed.
"Naynay! You really think I smell like cookies?" Alex cooed, ruffling Nate's curly hair.
"Shayshay, you said that I'm cuddly and soft?" Mitchie blushed.
"NAYNAY?!" Shane laughed.
"SHAYSHAY?!" Nate shot back.
"SHUDDUP!" they both yelled before melting into their girlfriend's arms.
"Whoa whoa whoa! What's all the yelling about?" Jason ran into the living room in his pjs.
"Nate and Shane are embaressed about our nicknames for them." Mitchie laughed.
"What nicknames?" Jason said, adjusting his hoodie.
"Naynay and Shayshay." Alex giggled.
"AHAHAHAHA! Wow, those are…wow." he couldn't help but grin at his little brothers.
"Hardy har har. New subject. Where's your little girlfriend Jase?" Shane lay his head down in Mitchie's lap, letting her play with his hair.
"1. She's not my girlfriend. and 2. she's just changing into her pjs." Jason answered, sitting in the arm chair, facing the couples.
"Oh. Alrighty. I can't wait to meet her." Nate said, hugging Alex.
"You guys will LOVE her. She sings, writes her own songs, and even plays volleyball!" Jason exclaimed. Mitchie and Alex sent each other looks.
"She sounds SO familiar…" Alex thought out loud, tapping her chin with her finger.
"Oh, and she said she's from Edison, New Jersey!" Jason added.
"Uh-oh Alex. Do you think that Callie is CALLIE?" Mitchie had a worried look on her face.
But before Mitchie could answer, someone spoke up.
"Yes. This Callie is that Callie." came a small, but clear voice.
"Callie." theygasped, sitting up.
"Well, what a reunion." Callie gritted her teeth while rubbing her arms.
"Calls, you look cold, here take my hoodie." Jason took off his gray hoodie and handed it to Callie, who stood there in a sea blue tank top and white sweats that cuffed below her knees.
"Thanks Jase." she whispered, pulling it on, before walking over and sitting on his lap.
"So Callie, how have you been? We haven't talked in so long." Alex tried to start a conversation.
"Yeah. 10 years to be exact." Callie said coldly, laying her head on Jason's shoulder while wrapping her arms around his waist. Jason mimicked her movements, laying his head on top of hers.
"Why didn't you tell me you were moving out here?" Mitchie whispered, not looking at Callie.
"Oh, I'm supposed to tell you, when you didn't even tell me?!" Callie snapped, jumping off of Jason's lap.
"Whoa, calm down! Mitchie didn't do anything to you!" Shane yelled, making Mitchie wince.
"Oh, they didn't do anything to me?! They LEFT me. They BOTH left me." Callie yelled. "Don't you DARE tell me that they didn't do anything to me. Do you wanna know what they did to me? DO YOU? Well i'll tell you. 10 years ago, Mitchie and Alex were called down to the office. They gathered up their stuff, waved bye to me, and i waved back. I thought they were being excused to go to the doctor or something. So i brushed it off. Then when I got to school the next day, they weren't there. I just thought to myself, "Maybe they'll come in late." So I didn't think about it. At lunch, they STILL weren't there. Some girls invited me to sit with them at lunch. But you know what Mitchie? Ya know what?!" Callie cried.
"Calls, calm down." Alex shouted.
"No. Let me finish. I told them I was waiting for you guys. And they just looked at me like I was crazy. I brushed it off. Weeks went by, and you guy's still didn't come back. Little did I know, you guys weren't coming back. But I still believed that you would. So for the rest of elementary school, I saved you seats at lunch, thinking you two would burst through the doors. Then finally, I figured it all out. I mean, my mom and dad had told me you guys had moved. But I hadn't believed them. But i did eventually come to my senses. And I stopped saving seats. But by then, everyone at school thought I was delusional. So they stayed away from me." Callie was pacing in front of them.
"We thought it would be better if we just left without telling you, because we thought it would hurt less." Mitchie whimpered.
"Hurt LESS?! Do you KNOW how much PAIN I've been through? I spent all my school years ALONE. I mean, some kids would try and talk to me. But then they would hear the stories. And slowly, they'd move away from me. It was torture." Callie collapsed to the ground, followed by Jason, who was trying hard to comfort her.
"Callie, we never meant to hurt you." Alex wiped away a tear, and started toward her.
"But you weren't the only one that hurt you know." Mitchie sat down next to her.
"We tried so hard to move on. But we couldn't. You're like a sister to me Calls." Alex said, signaling Jason to move.
Jason hesitantly agreed, then moved to the couch where his brothers were watching in a state of confusion, shock, and fear.
Callie just sat there, shaking. Then she felt 2 pairs of arms around her.
"Mitch, Lexi. I've missed you guys like crazy. But seriously, I don't know if we can pick up where we left it." Callie whispered, referring to their past friendship.
"Then, let's start over." Mitchie stuck out her hand. "Hi. I'm Michelle Louise Torres. But you can call me Mitchie." she smiled tentatively, watching Callie's expression.
"And I'm Alexandria Teresa Russo. But you can call me Lexi." Alex held out her own hand.
Callie smiled, tears still glistening in her light blue eyes. "Hi. I'm Cassandra Alexandria Adams. But you can call me Callie." she shook both hands before hugging her best friends.
"Aw!" the boys cooed.
"SHUDDUP." the girls yelled.
Jason laughed. "Whoa, can you say de ja vu?"
