Hey guys! Here's another chap for you. I really don't want Callie to get adopted next week! I kind of have feeling that she won't. Otherwise there's no hope Brallie so she can't get adopted! If she does my heart is going to break at any Brallie scenes. Anyway hope you enjoy, make sure you read the authors note at the bottom.

"Brandon?" Callie whispered as she pulled back with tears streaming down her face. "I was so scared, I didn't know what to do it was all too much, it's still too much" Callie cried as she retreated back to my embrace.

"I was scared too, I didn't know what to do. Everything was fine and then all of sudden... all of a sudden-"

"I don't know what happened, I can't really remember anything. I'm sorry for scaring you" Callie interjected as she hung her head in shame.

"Hey, you have got nothing to apologise for" I responded smiling slightly as I grabbed her chin tilting her head to face me.

Callie's Pov

"Oh uh... s-sorry" Brandon mumbled as he jolted his hand away from my chin. Chuckling slightly I pulled Brandon back and hugged him again, clinging as tight as I could. After everything that just happened I finally realise now. All those times I was so difficult was really because I needed to stick to my rule; to never love anyone but my mum and Jude. I don't deserve to after everything I did, after all the trouble I have caused. But I just can't I need him too much, but if I do then everything will be ruined. I'll ruin everything, everything for Jude, Brandon, Mum, Lena, Stef... me. I just don't think I can do that. But he... he... he's addictive. Yesterday when we were fighting just made me realise even though we were shouting we do care for each other. I don't want to, but I do.

"What are you thinking about?" Brandon asked gently as he retreated back to the chair at my bedside.

"Um nothing" I whispered reassuringly and shot him a fake smile. "I bet I must look awful" I grimaced as I ran my hands through my messy tangled hair.

"You look beautiful" Brandon whispered in a tone I couldn't quite recognise.

"So what time did you come in this morning?" I asked as fiddled with my thumbs nervously and bit my lip.

"Oh I never left" he replied looking at me seriously.

"Brandon it's like 10 in the morning" I said shocked that anyone would care about me.

"Actually it's 11:30 but whatever" Brandon responded as if it was no trouble that he had been in the waiting room from around like 9 last night.

"Is it? Thank you Brandon" I whispered smiling gratefully before sighing in frustration as I tried to get comfy on the hard bed.

"Whoa careful" Brandon whispered protectively as I sat up too fast and my hands shot to head in pain. "Take it easy" he said as he helped me sit up slowly.

"Thanks" I grunted when my hand brushed my stomach which still hurt from the gash.

"Still soar?" Brandon asked worriedly.

"It kills like crazy" I responded as I managed to sit up fully. Don't get me wrong, I like it when Brandon helps me, but I hate being helpless, I can do things myself.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom" I announced as I slowly swung my legs over the side of the bed.

"Wait!" Brandon burst out as he ran around the side of the bed and wrapping my arms around his shoulders.

"Ready?" he asked protectively and with a nod we slowly made are way across the room.

"You know that I can do this by myself" I said defensively as we walked around the bed.

"Callie you're two weak and you have cuts all over your body so I don't think so" he smirked.

"I can!" I shot back as he opened the bathroom door for me. "I don't need you to help me pee too you know" I added as I shut the door in his face giggling silently to myself, if I can't shout at him I may as well wind him up a bit.

"I-I know that!" he shrieked as I stifled a laugh the other side of the door.

"Right okay, no help this time got it?" I cautioned as I slowly but surely opened the door.

"Got it" Brandon mocked smirking as he sat back in this chair crossing his outstretched legs and placed his arms behind his head as I held onto the door frame of the bathroom.

"Just watch me" I added still in the same position.

"Any day now would be great" Branson snickered as I stood in place. Rolling my eyes I gradually took on step, still holding on to the wall. I couldn't let go, my legs felt so weak that I was scared they would break, that they would both just snap in two. I slowly took another step, still letting my finger tips claw on the wall for dear life. I took another and my finger tips could only brush against the wall and I became dizzy.

"Brandon" I whispered as staggered grimacing in pain.

"Callie!" Brandon shouted as he raced towards me steadying me in his arms. "Didn't need help huh?" Brandon questioned as he looked down at me worriedly but still had a small smirk playing on his lips.

"Just shut up and help me walk" I whispered annoyed that I couldn't do it by myself. Smiling he quickly swooped me up by the knees and held me in his arms as he carried to my bed. I was happy in his arms, I just wanted to stay there it was a lot comfier than the bed. As I was about to snuggle into the bed once again Brandon stopped me and kept my shoulders up right.

"You know my legs still work" I teased but quite flattered by the gesture.

"Clearly not very well" Brandon chuckled as he fluffed the pillow that lay behind me and the gently pushed me down onto the mattress.

"Hey, you haven't had a proper rest yet" I smiled pulling back the covers. Sighing he got in with a smile of gratitude as he got comfy turning on his side to face me.

"I thought I was going to lose you last night Callie" Brandon said as he drew circles on my arm.

"I can only remember bits of it, more the pain than anything" I replied. "I'm sorry I had to put you all through that; especially you and Jude" I went on glumly as I turned my head to face him. "I don't know what I would have done if it was you" I sighed as I snuggled into the bed deeper.

"Hopefully the same thing" he joked smiling at me.

"Of course I would have Brandon. I l-um care for you" I stuttered not knowing how to finish.

"Wait if you would have done the same that means that you finally believe me how much I care for you" Brandon sighed happily as if a weight had lifted from his shoulders.

"I'm starting to, I mean after everything we've been through in such a small amount of time I feel like all you've done is try and prove to me that you will be there. It just takes me a while to trust someone." I explained as we lay there, content and happy.

"I understand that" he whispered as he caressed my cheek softly.

"Oh! Uh! Sorry um..." The doctor shrieked as he bragged in the room.

"Haha no worries..." Brandon laughed awkwardly as he shot out of bed.

"I just thought now would be the time to explain everything to the family" he said gesturing behind him to see my family staring at us. I think before last night they would have been screaming at us both for doing such a 'stupid' little thing. But after last night I think they saw how much we really loved each other. She only wanted me with her, needed me with her, and I was just a wreck through it all.

"H-hey guys" I stuttered awkwardly as I scratched my head.

"Ahem so um... last night it was at around 9 right?" the doctor awkwardly questioned making sure he had the facts right.

"Well it seems that when Callie received her bad news she went into a state of shock. Not being able to control her emotions it seems her body had a panic attack which lasted so long that she became weak and fainted. The twitch she had in the ambulance is nothing serious. It's common that you may get a twitch after you have fainted whilst you're unconscious. As for the cut on her head and the gash on her stomach Callie will need stitches because they are quite deep. Callie will need to spend a few days in hospital because we would like to monitor her blood sugar level. I don't feel confident in discharging her before she's built up more energy" The doctor explained as he went over to check Callie's blood pressure. "Any questions Callie?" the doctor asked as he gathered up all his files he'd placed on the table in the corner of the room.

"No" I smiled gratefully as I let my hand trace against the now cold spot where Brandon once lay under the covers.

"I suggest you all go home and have a rest, you've been here all night" the doctor added as he smiled at us all.

"Um... can I stay?" Brandon asked hopefully as everyone else smiled knowingly. "What... I-I just don't want her to be lonely. You know just staring these four walls all day. These four plain, white, boring walls and-"

"Of course you can" the doctor smirked and winked at Brandon as I blushed the tiniest bit. I mean you couldn't tell or anything... maybe.

"Can I come visit you later Callie?" Jude piped up tiredly, god he looked exhausted, they all did.

"Of course you can baby, get some sleep first" I answered wrapping him in a gentle hug once he reached my bedside.

"Ok lets go guys she needs her rest, be back by curfew Brandon" Stef said before waving goodbye and going to get some rest.

"By the way you guys make a cute couple" the doctor smirked as he walked out the room.

"Oh but were not a couple!" I called after him and he carried on walking away as if he hadn't heard it but this time he was laughing.

"You need sleep too" I whispered tiredly as Brandon walked over to me.

"I know that's why I'm going to get it here" he announced as he got into bed and boldly put his arm me. At first I didn't know what to do; I knew what I wanted to do but not what I should do. Tired of thinking about everything I gave in and gently turned on my side not even caring if it was going to hurt ten times more when I woke up and placed my head on his chest and just lay there, listening to his steady heartbeat.
