Well well, it seems like I'm writing a new chapter. And there's no one to read it. Well that's what it seems like. Seriously guys, it'd make me feel a whole lot better if you would review, even if it's just "Cute!" or "UPDATE!" So please please PLEASE review? gah, I sound desperate…
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but the plot, Callie, and Freddy. Everything else is the product of Disney.
"Morning!!" Callie chirped at the group sitting at the dining table.
"Mhm." they grumbled. Mitchie was keeping herself busy by stirring her tea, while Shane's face was about 2 inches from his plate.
Callie frowned, but shrugged it off before walking over to Jason.
"Hey Jase! Watcha eating?" Callie grinned. She was ALWAYS a morning person, just like Jason.
"Food. Duh." Jason replied coldly, startling not only Callie, but his brothers and their girlfriends as well.
"Oh. Well, do you want to hang out today? Shane told me last night that you guys were off for the 2 weeks that I'll be here so…" Callie drifted off as Jason walked right past her.
"Why don't you just go back to San Francisco?" Jason snapped before walking up the stairs with a cup of coffee in one hand.
"Callie?" Mitchie walked over to Callie who had slumped against the kitchen counter.
"What did I do? I've been nothing but nice to him since I've gotten here." Callie mumbled to herself.
"I dunno Callie. He's never been like this." Shane said, baffled. Jason was usually very…chirpy – oh goodness, a bird reference – in the morning.
"Yeah, he's always bouncing off the walls when we're over." Alex said, taking a sip of her tea. Well, Mitchie's tea.
"Lex! Stop drinking my tea!" Mitchie laughed.
"It's so yummy…kind of like the tea we had whenever we had tea parties at Callie's house." Alex giggled, taking another sip.
"I'm gonna go check on Jase." Callie slipped out of the kitchen.
"Fine. But when you get back, I want to hear more about these tea parties!" Nate yelled while laughing, almost choking on his omelet.
Callie laughed as she headed up the stairs, then suddenly grew serious as she reached Jason's door.
"Jase?" she knocked on the door. "Jase, can I come in?" she leaned her forehead against the door.
"Jason! Please?" Callie pleaded after she hadn't gotten an answer.
"What do you want?" Callie almost fell forward as Jason opened the door.
"I want to talk." Callie mumbled.
"Fine, what about?" Jason crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame.
"Can we talk in your room? I don't want to wake up Freddy." Callie pointed to Freddy's door, which had yet to be opened that morning.
"Fine. Come in." Jason closed the door behind Callie, and then pointed to his bed. "Sit." he commanded.
"Look Jase," she started after sitting down. "I don't know what I did to you, but whatever I did, I'm sorry." Callie placed her hand on his, making Jason feel fireworks.
"Look, you can't be sorry about how you feel. I mean, obviously, from the way I heard you talk to him last night, you love him a lot." Jason looked away.
"What? Talked to whom?" Callie tilted her head, confused.
"That guy. On the phone. Last night. I was coming downstairs to check on you since I heard everyone else come up, then I heard you were on the phone, so I sat on the staircase, waiting for you to finish. I didn't mean to listen in on your conversation." Jason mumbled.
"Jason, look at me." Callie put her palm to his cheek, moving his head so he faced her. "Who did you think I was talking to, exactly?"
Jason gulped, suddenly nervous. "Josh." he whispered, but loud enough for her to hear.
Suddenly, Callie started to giggle.
"Stop laughing at me!" Jason stood up suddenly, causing Callie to stop.
"Jase, I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing at who you thought I was talking to." Callie stood, taking Jason's hands in hers. "The guy I was talking to last night was my dad."
"But…you said you don't see him a lot. Everyone who has a dad sees them a lot." Jason said, thoroughly confused.
"Not me. My mum and dad live in London. My dad works there. I live here by myself." Callie suddenly lost the sparkle in her eye, and soon enough, a lone tear rolled down her cheek.
"Why do you live here?" Jason wiped away her tear.
"Well, I'm going to college around here, and my dad got transferred to London a few years after I finished middle school in Jersey. I moved out to London, and then I had gotten a chance to go to college a year early. All the way here, at USC. So I packed my bags and moved out. My mom couldn't leave his side so we went our separate ways." Callie smiled half-heartedly.
"Oh Callie." Jason engulfed her in a hug as she cried into his shoulder.
"Yeah, so I only see him during my breaks. But enough crying." Callie cleared her throat. "Now that we have that mess cleared up, let's head downstairs." Callie reached for Jason's hand and headed for the door.
"Oh wait, Callie, you got something on your lips." Jason smiled.
Callie ran her fingers over her lips. "What?"
Jason whispered and leaned in. "MY lips."
