Brandon and Callie: Outlaws- Chap 16
I DON'T OWN THE FOSTERS!
3 MONTHS LATER…
Mariana and Tia's team won the competition, so they were backstage celebrating when the family came. Mariana and Callie excused themselves and went over to them.
"Brandon," Callie shouted when she saw him. She leaped into his arms and he wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist and said, "You're back."
"And you won," he laughed. He put her down and smiled.
"When did you come back?"
"This morning."
"Why didn't you tell me? More importantly why didn't they," she said, turning to the rest of family who were listening to Mariana.
"Mariana asked them not to."
She turned back to him and hugged him. "Ah, I've missed you."
"There you are. Got lost in the crowd," a girl said behind them.
Callie pulled away from Brandon and looked at the girl, who was tall, red-headed, and had big green eyes.
"Callie, this is Melody."
"Nice to meet you," Melody said, reaching out her hand.
Callie grabbed it. "Like wise."
"I feel like I know you, Brandon's told me so much," she said, putting an arm around him. He did the same.
"So, you two are together?" Callie asked with disappointment in her voice.
"Yeah," she said, kissing Brandon's cheek.
"It was a last minute thing for her to come," Brandon said.
"Oh," Callie forced a smile. "Excuse me."
"Sure, maybe I'll see you at the house later?" Melody asked.
"Yeah, sure."
"Did you know that Brandon had a new girlfriend?" Callie asked Mariana.
"No," Mariana looked down.
"You're lying."
"I'm not."
"You're looking down. That's your tell."
"Okay, fine. I knew," Mariana bit her lip. "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you, but I didn't want to mess with your head before the competition."
"I can't believe this. I thought I could trust you."
"I'm sorry Callie, but I thought it was best for you."
"You did what was best for you, like usual."
"Don't make this about me."
"I thought you changed since Anabeth came."
"I have."
"Then why didn't you tell me before the competition?"
"I don't know."
"I can't," Callie threw up her hands and walked out. She met Melody in the hallway.
"Callie," Melody smiled.
"Melody, right?"
"Yeah," she giggled. "I'm just looking for the bathroom."
"It's right down there," Callie pointed.
"Thank you."
"No worries," Callie forced a smile.
"Brandon told me that you're hoping to get adopted soon."
Callie rolled her eyes. "Yeah. Anytime now."
"Well, I'm hoping everything goes your way," she smiled and went to the bathroom.
Callie was just about to knock on Brandon's door when she heard Anabeth cry. She went inside Stef and Lena's room.
"Hey baby girl," she said, picking her up.
"Oh, you got her. Thank you," Lena said, coming in the room.
"No worries. I heard her cry and I figured she was lonely."
"I think it's food time," Lena said, laughing.
"Do you want to go to mama? Do you want to go to mama?" Callie asked in a baby voice and then gentle put her in Lena's arms.
"Whoa, I think someone was hungry," Lena said when she sat down and gave her the bottle.
"Yeah," Callie said. "She looks a lot like Mariana."
"I know right?" Lena smiled at her little baby girl.
"I'll leave you two alone."
"You can stay. If you want."
"I have homework and stuff, so," Callie smiled.
"We love you big sis."
"Love you too."
"I'll cut the onions and you cut the carrots," Callie said, handing Jude a carrot.
"Okay."
Callie smiled and started dicing.
Brandon and Melody came inside, giggling. "Can we help?" Melody asked.
"You guys can set the table," Callie said, not turning around.
Brandon and Melody nodded and started setting the table.
"Are you okay?" Jude whispered when he saw that she was tearing up.
"It's just the onion," she said, but it was both.
She and Brandon had been writing with each other all summer and he had never said anything about a girl. They had even written only a few days before she came. She heard them laughing. She turned around and saw them leaning in to a kiss, so she turned back.
"God," Callie sighed. Hoping no one heard her.
"Knock, knock," Callie said walking into the garage.
"Come on in," said Brandon.
"Thanks," Callie walked in. "So, heard anything from the band?"
"Yeah, the guys have asked me to come back, but I don't know. How are things between you and Jasper?"
"Okay," Callie said, lying. She and Jasper had broken up a few weeks earlier.
"Cool, maybe we all can go out for dinner sometime."
"Sure. Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend?"
Brandon looked up from his keyboard. "I'm sorry?"
"Why didn't you tell me? I mean we spoke like everyday."
"I know, I just didn't want to tell you."
"Why? Were you afraid that I was going to freak out?"
"No, I don't know."
"I forgive you. I don't want to be mad, okay? I am trying to get over you and in order for me to do that, I have to be okay with you having a girlfriend. And I am."
"Thank you. And I think that you would really like Melody if you got to know her."
"I know. Me too. She seems really nice."
"Hey guys. What are you talking about?" Melody asked when she came in.
"You actually," Callie said. "I think that you and I should hang out, because if you're going to date him, I am the one to impress."
Melody looked at Brandon oddly, he nodded and smiled. "Okay. I would love to hang with you, because from what I've heard, you're pretty fun."
Callie looked at Brandon. "I'm not that fun."
"Sure you are," Brandon winked.
