Brandon and Callie: Outlaws- Chap 5
I DON'T OWN THE FOSTERS!
"You're still in love with Brandon?"
"Yes."
"Have you told him?"
"Yes."
"What did he say?"
"Well, he said he needed to think about it and then he said that he has feelings for me and that he's always going to have feelings for me, he just doesn't trust me."
"Doesn't trust you?"
"I guess with his heart."
Mariana didn't know what to say. She knew that Callie had loved him, but wanted a family. And that Brandon had a hard time getting over her, but Callie seemed to move on pretty quick, or maybe she just tried to move on.
"So, did you love Wyatt?"
"In some ways I think I did, maybe more as a friend, but mostly I think I just told myself that I was in love with him to protect myself from what I really wanted."
"I'm so sorry Callie."
"It's not anyone's fault except my own."
"Even if it isn't my fault I can still feel bad for you," she hugged her. "And it's not your fault. You wanted a family."
"I know, it just never crossed my mind that it might all blow up like it always does and that I would lose the one thing that I thought I never would. And it never crossed my mind that Brandon would ever have a girlfriend again, and I know that it sounds selfish in some ways, but could you ever imagine, like, Zac having a girlfriend now that he moved away?"
"I guess not. And it's not selfish Callie. You just wanted to hold on to him as much as possible. I get that. Trust me, I do. Matt doesn't want me to go on tour with them, and I understand that, but it's our first summer together and he's going on tour. How romantic is that?"
Callie shrugged. "Sorry."
"It's fine. Tia and I have decided to work on our dance team during the summer."
"I have to go to summer school."
"Really?"
"Yeah, my study grades are down cause of all the moving around I've done. So annoying."
"Moms," Brandon says as he walks in the kitchen.
"What's up love?" Stef asks, pouring water into her cup.
"I got offered a scholarship for Idyllwild."
"That's awesome, B," Stef stands up and hugs him.
So does Lena, "Really amazing Brandon."
"So what are you going to do? Are you going to take the scholarship or go on tour?"
"I think I'm going to take the scholarship. I mean I can't really earn enough money to go, so."
"That's really great, B," Stef says and hugs him again.
"Can I ask you guys something?"
"Sure," Lena says.
"Lou and I are taking a break, mostly because she can't handle that Callie is such a huge part of my life. What should I do?"
They look at each other.
"Well, Brandon, Callie is like your sister, even though you two have a past. So, I would say, just give her some time and she will come around," Lena says, grabbing Stef's hand.
"I'm doing that. But she told me that she can't handle Callie being apart of my life, cause she thinks I still have feelings for her."
"Do you still have feelings for her?" Stef asks curiously.
"No," he answers quickly. "I mean, of course I still do. I'll always do, but we're in the past and Lou and I are in the present."
"Did you tell her that?"
"Yes, well not the part about me always having feelings for Callie, but the rest I said."
"Then the ball is pretty much in her court, right?"
"I guess so. Thanks, love you," he kisses their cheeks and then walks up the stairs.
"Hey Brandon. I would really like to talk. Can we meet?
Lou"
"Hey, yeah sure. Just text me when and where and I'll be there."
Brandon hit send just when Mariana came in and yelled at him. "What were you thinking?"
"I'm sorry?"
"Telling Callie that you don't trust her."
"That's none of your business Mariana."
"It is my business Brandon. When my sister is heartbroken, I make it my business."
"What did she tell you?"
"She told me that she told you that she was still in love with you and that you responded in the worst possible way for a girl."
"Mariana, you're way overstepping your boundaries."
"I might be, but I don't care. She's my sister and-"
"And I'm your brother."
"Which is why I am doing this."
"You're yelling at me because I'm your brother?"
"No, I'm yelling at you because you're so stupid, like all guys are."
"What about a few months ago?"
"What?"
"When I told you guys that I had kissed her you basically chewed my head off, and now that I am telling her no, you're suddenly chewing my head off for not being with her."
"She loves you Brandon and you love her. She's not going to live here anymore, which means that you two can be together."
"No, we can't."
"Why?"
"We just can't Mariana!"
"Tell me."
"Fine. I trust her, but I don't trust her with my heart. She's broken it too many times. There, are you happy."
"God, you're so blind."
Mariana slams the door behind her.
"You told Mariana?"
"I'm sorry?" Callie says, brushing her fingers through her hair.
"You told Mariana that you still love me and how I replied?"
"Yeah, I did. She's my sister, Brandon."
"Yeah, and that means that I am your brother."
"That's not the same thing."
"Why not."
"Cause even if I got adopted you and me would never have been brother and sister."
"Wow, that's making your argument real strong," Brandon saw the time went to the door.
"Where are you going?" Callie asked, annoyed that he was leaving in the middle of an argument.
"I have to go meet Lou," she heard him say as he was by the stairs, she went to the door.
"Why did you even bring it up if you were only going to leave?" she slammed the door. "Agh. Moron."
Brandon came to the diner and saw that Lou was already there. He wasn't late, but he would apologize anyway.
"Hi, sorry I'm late."
"You're not late. I was early."
"So what did you want to talk about?" Brandon sits down across from her.
"I just wanted to apologize for not understanding."
"You don't need to apologize."
"When I came home I realized that I was totally taking things out of context, and I am sorry for that. I understand now. And I do really like you Brandon and I don't want to be on a break anymore."
"I don't either want to be on break anymore."
They both smiled at each other and then talked for hours.
