Hey guys! I thought I would update today and fill the hole in your hearts from the shows absents. I hope you enjoy!
"So we don't know when we're going to Grandma's but when Callie's better we need to go, she really needs some help around the house" mum said to me as I walked in the kitchen.
"Yeah of course but I am not going until Callie is one hundred percent better" I replied protectively as I sat down at the kitchen table with a glass of orange before leaning over to snatch a piece of mum's toast.
"Hey get your own!" she groaned picking up another piece. "Oooh did you speak to her about y' know the two of you getting together" Stef asked excitedly tapping her hands against the table.
"No and wait, you're ok with this? I mean I know Lena doesn't mind and neither does Jesus and Mariana but-"
"Oh calm down B, I know I thought I would be the same but seeing you the other day made me realise. Anyway we aren't exactly able to judge and besides you aren't brother and sister. Why didn't you talk to her about it, she likes you trust me" mum asked curiously.
"How do know she likes me?" I questioned curiously remembering what Mariana said it in the hospital yesterday. Can everyone tell but me? All I think is one minute she hates me and the next she thinks I'm ok, that's it. Is that the way girls think? Or is that just the Callie thinks?
"What?" I exclaimed defensively as she sat giggling at me.
"How could you not see it Brandon? I've known from the start she liked you, that's why I was a little bit tough on her." Stef admitted.
"A bit?" I mused with raised eyebrows.
"Okay I know at times I was too tough but I did that because I didn't want either of you to make a mistake. I thought if I tried to stir things up I could stop you from both making a mistake. But now I see it isn't a mistake" she added seeing me going into a state of discomfort. Now tell me why you didn't talk to her!" my mum demanded softly.
"I tried but I just couldn't, my mouth dried up and I just couldn't say anything. What do I do?" whispered groaning in frustration.
"Just take a deep breath and say it" she replied knowingly.
"That's it? That's all you have for me?" I questioned doubtfully
"I know it's probably not what you wanted to hear but it's true, she already likes you; I know she does" she smiled wisely.
"She doesn't she hates me" I groaned resting my head in my hands.
"She never did hate you Brandon; she was just confused how people could care for her. The reason why she's constantly changing moods with you is because she is scared of what she feels for you. Callie has a broken heart Brandon, you need to fix it by finding out what the problems are to mend her heart. Teach her to love her again Brandon" my mum voiced sadly.
"I need to see her" I urged as I quickly got up and fled to the kitchen door.
"Uh uh uh" mum objected waving her finger at me.
"Mum" I whined as I sighed frustrated.
"No buts! School Now" ordered as she chucked my backpack across too me.
"I don't know what time I'll be back" I said hurriedly as I rushed out the door.
I quickly ran into my car and slammed the door shut and dialled the number. They gave Callie her phone back when she woke up so she might answer.
"Hey this is Callie leave a message" a fake happy voice seeped through the phone. Sighing I ended the call and threw my phone on the seat. I'm worried about her. She's getting her stitches today and I am worried she will be in pain. I can't think straight. Anytime I'm not with her I get so worried about her, worried that the person will contact her again and make her go into shock again, I'm scared about everything. I mean what if she gets up to go to the bathroom and she gets dizzy and faints. No one will know straight away because they will be elsewhere. I haven't even had a chance to talk to Jude so I don't even know if she was ok last night. He would have told mum though and she would have told me right? Or maybe she wouldn't because she didn't want me to worry. Oh god I'm a mess, how am I going to go through seven hours before I can see her again. Sighing I started the car up and backed out of the driveway and headed to school.
I walked miserably down the halls to my locker, it's mine own fault I should have said it.
"Hey Brandon" a flirty voice said behind me.
Sighing I turned and saw Talya standing behind me. "Oh hey" I mumbled wondering why the hell she was talking to me.
"So um I thinking-"
"Well that's a first" I interjected coldly turning back around to slam my locker.
"Hey don't be like that baby" Talya smiled seductively brushing her hand down my arm. My eyes narrowed looking at her hand before I forcefully pushed her hand off me and stormed down the hall. "What's wrong baby?" Talya asked pretending to care probably so I would take her back. Huh yeah right.
"I'm not your baby so just leave me alone! I'm sure there's someone else that you could go spend time in a dark room with. Was that the first time? Or just the time you got caught?" I growled as a crowd started to form around us.
"What are you talking about?" Talya whispered pretending she was about to cry.
"Oh don't give me all that crap" I spat as she stood there looking at me shocked. I don't care all I want to do is see Callie it's killing me that I can't talk to her and I'm terrified something will happen to her. "What about that guy? He looks like he's a good seven, but then again you'll settle for just about anyone won't you?" I screamed before I stormed down the hall again to clear my head, and this time she didn't follow me. Not knowing what to do I rushed out to the courtyard to call Callie. "Again?" I sighed quietly to myself as I sat down and rested my head in my arms on the table. Eventually I hauled myself up off the seat and made my way to science slowly.
"Hey Brandon" Mariana smiled as she came up to me at lunch. I managed to make it that far; I decided to keep myself to myself. That didn't stop everyone from staring at me from my outburst earlier that day. It would have probably been best to start with that at the beginning of the day.
"Hey" I sighed as she sat down next to me.
"She's fine Brandon" Mariana said as she hugged me gently.
"What if she's not and I can't do anything?" I worried as I returned the hug.
"She is" Mariana whispered reassuringly. "Oh and I had a word with Talya earlier after I heard what happened and gave her a piece of my mind but from what I heard you did a pretty great job of that yourself" she smirked and shoved my shoulder playfully.
"Well she was annoying me" I responded and gave her a small smile, my first smile today as some guys sat across the table from of us.
"I know it's been fifteen minutes and she still hasn't text me back yet" the guy whined as he slammed his phone on the table.
"Unbelievable" I muttered coldly under my breath.
"What did you say?" the guy growled as he turned to me shooting me an icy cold glare.
"You really think that is so devastating? That she hasn't texted you back in fifteen minutes?" I scoffed trying to stay calm.
"You stay out of it" he threatened clenching his fists.
"Why should I? The past two days has been constant crap for me so why would a little more hurt?" I growled as I walked over to him.
"Oh like what?" he mocked as he stood up.
"Brandon" Mariana hissed through clenched teeth.
"Well let's start with two nights ago shall we when I had to sit with the girl I love watching her suffering in pain, when she couldn't breathe and held her not caring about the blood over my hands and on my shirt; the blood that was pouring from her head and her stomach. I had to then sit with her in ambulance when she was unconscious as she started to have a fit. I spent all night in the waiting room having nightmares about how so many things could go wrong. I had to leave yesterday, leave her all alone. She's having stitches today and am I there with her? No! I'm stuck here screaming at you! And to top it all off she doesn't even know how I feel about her. So when someone doesn't text you back in fifteen minutes, someone who is probably on the school site right?" I screamed waiting him for him to respond as he just stared at me with sympathetic eyes. "Just remember that there's always someone who's going through more crap than you" I muttered maliciously as I felt Mariana place a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry man" he sighed taking in everything I had said.
"When you see that girl, don't complain to her just be thankful you've got her" I whispered seriously. "I need to go" I muttered to Mariana as I squeezed her hand caringly before I ran to my car as my mind was going crazy.
As I pulled up to the entrance I stormed inside ignoring the lady at the front desk demanding I sign in.
"Don't worry that's Brandon Foster, he's got somewhere he needs to be" I heard Callie's doctor explain to the receptionist trying to calm her down.
After what seemed like forever just as it did yesterday I found my way to the third floor, room 304 and burst through the door desperately.
"Brandon?" Callie questioned shocked but happy.
Letting out a shaky breath I ran to her bed and clutched on to her body desperately as I let the tears fall freely down my face as my body shook.
Humm I wonder what will happen? We finally got to see the angry side of Brandon! What did you guys think of the cute mother son moment in the beginning? I don't like torturing you guys but this time I think I'm going to have to. But if you guys get the reviews up then I might just post faster. I barely got any reviews last time; let me know you are still reading! I miss The Fosters and I really, really hope that this chapter gave it justice.
