Brandon and Callie: Outlaws- Chap 30

P.S. I don't own The Fosters!

Callie came into the music room and heard Brandon playing. She had heard him play before, but this time was different. He was playing something she had never heard before. Playing differently than he used to. He paused for a moment and then began playing again. She felt as if he was angry about something and that he was taking it out on the keyboard, so she went inside. Brandon stopped playing and Callie pulled up a chair opposite to him.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"How come you never told me?" he asked her.

Callie was confused. "How come I haven't told you what?"

"About when you were in that group home, we had a relationship, and how we broke up so that you could come back to the house."

"I don't understand Brandon. How do you know?"

"I remembered. How come you never told me?"

"I didn't want you to know."

"Know what?"

"I remember how much I hurt you, and I didn't want you to know that I had hurt you like that. I was going to tell you eventually but… I never got around to it."

"You knew I might remember."

"It was a possibility. But-"

"Callie, this is even worse. You had plenty of chances to tell me. Plenty."

"It was never there right time."

"Never the right time? How about when I kissed you?"

"I know I should have told you, but I just couldn't bring myself to. I'm sorry."

Brandon sighed. "I can't believe this. I remember everything."

Callie shook her head. "What do you mean everything?"

"I remember everything about us."

"Brandon…"

"No," Brandon said plainly. "I need time."

"Brandon please."

"Callie. Don't make this any harder than it is. I need time and I need you to give it to me."

"Sure. Whatever you want," Callie said understandingly.

Callie stood up and put the chair back in its place. She kissed Brandon's cheek and headed towards the door.

"Brandon," she said.

He turned around and nodded.

"I truly am sorry."

"I know."

"And I love you," Callie said. She then went outside, leaving Brandon stunned.

"What did you say?" Mariana asked, excited for more details.

"I didn't say anything, she just walked away," Brandon said.

Mariana put her hand to her forehead. "Well, how do you feel?"

"I don't know."

"Do you love her?"

Brandon didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. He remembered how angry she got when he said that he had kissed Callie. "Aren't you mad at me?" he asked. "I mean, I told you I kissed her and you totally freaked out, and now I told you that we're basically in a relationship and you're calm."

Mariana took a deep breath. "It's a long story."

"I have time."

"I don't want to explain it Brandon, so just trust me when I say that I am fine with you two being in a relationship, as long as she's not living here."

Brandon nodded. "Understood."

"Now, answer my question. Do you love her?"

Brandon stared at her. "I don't, uhm… I don't want to talk about this anymore."

Mariana shook her head. "Well, sooner or later you're going to have to figure out whether or not you do love her."

He nodded. He wasn't ready to say that he loved her. He cared for her, and all of the feelings he felt he had again, but he was hurt. She didn't tell him that they had had a relationship. She didn't tell him anything. He trusted her, but he wasn't sure he trusted her right now. He was hurt.

"You alright Brandon?" Mat asked.

"Just have some things on my mind. I'll be fine," he said. "Let's start playing."

"We don't have to."

"Really, I don't mind. It will be a nice distraction."

"Okay. If that's what you want."

Lou looked at Brandon. She was angry with him, but at the same time she still did have feelings for him. He was the first guy she loved.

"Lou," Mat said. "You okay?"

She nodded. "Fine. We're done right?"

"Yes."

"Good. I have some place to be."

"Lou, why don't you wait two minutes," Mat said. "Since my mom and dad are getting a divorce, they don't live together anymore, so, I have the house to myself tomorrow."

"You do?" Lou asked suspiciously.

"Yes. My mom is with her boyfriend somewhere and my dad got called on a last minute meeting, he leaves tonight."

"I just figured that you'd want the house for you and Mariana," Lou said, not thinking twice before she said it.

Brandon looked at her. "Yeah, my sister will be staying home."

"Lou, filter," Jasper said.

"I don't think about what I say all the time. But sorry."

Brandon nodded.

"So, what do you guys say? Party? We could really use this."

Everyone nodded except Brandon. "Come on," Lou said. "I gave you another shot, don't blow it."

Finally, Brandon nodded. "Okay, I'm in."

"You're late," Lou said when she saw Brandon.

"Sorry. I didn't know you could be late to a party."

Lou shook her head. "Mariana and Callie are over there."

Brandon went over to them. "What are you guys doing here?" he asked.

"Mat invited me. I invited Callie." All Brandon did was nod. "I'm gonna go over here," Mariana said, leaving Brandon and Callie alone.

"Cool party," Callie said awkwardly.

"Yeah," Brandon agreed.

"Mariana told me you joined the band again."

Brandon nodded. "I thought it'd be a good distraction."

"From?"

"Memory loss."

Callie nodded, not knowing what else to do. She had apologized, but he seemed to know how sorry she was.

"I just wanted to tell you that I forgive you," Brandon said.

"You do?"

"I just… I think I may still need some time. It was a lot to take in. I hope you understand."

"Of course I understand. I want the best for you Brandon. And if you decide that you don't want to be with me I totally understand."

"Not want to be with you? Why wouldn't I want that?"

"Because I didn't tell you."

"I still want to be with you Callie, I just need some time before we have the talk."

Callie smiled. "Okay. I'll leave you alone now, you won't even know I am here."

"It's okay. The band is going to play soon anyway."

"So, Callie, the judge called and he wants us to come in sometime next week."

"Cool. Do you know what he wants to talk about?"

"I don't know," Robert said. "It can be about anything really."

"Okay."

"Did you have a good time tonight?"

"Yeah."

"Good. I was thinking that maybe tomorrow we could do some driving lessons maybe?"

Callie smiled. "I'd love that. I think it's about time I learn to drive. I am seventeen after all."

Robert laughed. "Yes."

"Well, good night," she told him.

"Good night. Sleep well."

"You too."
