Callie's POV
"Okay, so what's going on?" Tyler asks after a few minutes of walking. "What's upsetting you?" his voice is gentle and calm, comforting even. I see a bench up ahead and head towards it. I then sit on it and Tyler joins me.
"It's just so hard." I state.
"What is?"
"Everything." I sigh. I don't know what to talk about first. "First, during the week Jude's friend got shot in the foot when he and two of their friends snuck in one of their houses to steal alcohol. That's so out of character for him and it's worrying me. He's mad at me because I told him I think his friend Conner is a bad influence on him. Then my former foster brother and a girl named Sarah got credit cards in my name and stole my identity, I only found that out when Stef, Lena, and I met with the lawyer to talk about getting emancipated. There's so much I have to do to get emancipated, and I don't know if we could get it done in time." I rant. "And to top it off, my heart is just slowly breaking."
"Wow, that's a lot of things to be upset about, especially when they're happening all at once." He states. "Is that why your heart's breaking?" I sigh. Perhaps it's time to tell him about Brandon.
"There is another reason for why it's breaking." I say looking down at my knees.
"I thought so. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Just tell me what I can do to make you feel better and I'll do it. I can just listen, I can offer advice, offer you my jacket to use as a tissue; I would even buy you milkshake." He says. God, he's so sweet and carrying.
"I love someone, but we can never be together and he's involved with someone else." I admit quietly.
"Is it Brandon?" he asks.
"Yeah." I nod my head slightly. "The thing is he used to love me back. He actually loved me first, and I ended things between us because I was gonna get adopted, but finding out that Robert wont sign the papers, and that there's a good chance he'll get custody of me, I realized that I'm still in love with him. I thought we could be together but he told me he doesn't trust me, and that we have to be done. And I think he's in love with someone else now, and seeing him with her just hurts me so much. And I see him everywhere. I realize that whether I go live with Robert or not, in the end I will still get hurt. I just don't know how much more of this I can take." I break out into sobs. Tyler pulls me to him and hugs me.
"I'm so sorry Callie. You don't deserve any of this. You deserve to be nothing but happy." He says as he comforts me. We hear the warning bell in the distance so we rise from the bench. While we walk to the building Tyler keeps a comforting, protective arm around me until we have to part ways and go to class.
A/N: Sorry it's a bit short! I do have an idea on where I want to take the story but I also want to stick to the show's storyline as best as I can so I'll probably wait until the after the season finalie to update. And as always, comments/reviews are always very motivating and welcomed whether they're good or bad!
