"Ugh, I'm bored" Brandon complained as he tugged the ear phone out my ear that I sharing with him.
"Well you should have gotten your headphones out your bag Foster" I exclaimed annoyed. I love music so much it annoys me when someone can't appreciate my music. It's like no one ever tries to relate to me about anything.
"No it's not that. Surprisingly you have good music taste" he joked readjusting in the seat.
"Wow I'm amazed! Brandon, The Brandon Foster thinks I've got good music taste! Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god it's the best day of my life. Will you autograph this for me?" I shrieked mockingly holding a scrap piece of paper from Jude's doodle book.
"I'd be happy to!" He joked taking the paper from me and began to scribble something down.
"HA! From the macho amazing looking man himself Brandon Foster? Really? Your such a dweeb" I snorted in amusement as he bent over towards me after checking to see if anyone was watching.
"Are you sure that's all you want me to sign? You'd be surprised what celebrities get asked to sign these days" he smirked against my ear biting it the side of it discreetly.
"No I think I'm good" I laughed as his lips still stayed put against my ear.
"I would say that it was a good try but it really wasn't" I chuckled as I pushed him off me.
"Well then" he said pretending to be offended.
"Will you guys keep your hands of each other for five hours please? You do realise I can see everything through the rear mirror y' know. Don't make me call the court and tell them about you two, I'm sure they would have to say a lot about it" mum sighed as she went round the roundabout.
"Sorry" we both mumbled as we sat back in each other's arms.
"Well that's not something you hear every day. Whatever happened to the classic or you guys will be grounded?" I mumbled chuckling slightly as I played with Brandon's fingers.
"I don't know. But since when have our lives ever been normal?" he asked playing with the strands of my hair.
"That's true" I laughed as I tried to think of something we could do to make the journey less painful and slow. "Hey let's play 20 questions!" I suggested as I sat up and turned to face him eagerly.
"Okay then?" he said unsure about the idea.
"Oh come on it will be fun; you're always saying you want to know more about me. Well now's your chance." I said excitedly.
"You first" he said excitedly as if something dawned on him all of a sudden.
Brandon's Pov
"Okay then hum... what's your biggest fear?" she questioned curiously.
"That someone won't like my music" I answered truthfully.
"Not everyone has the same taste in music, it's not possible for everyone to like it" she answered softly as her hands rand down my chest.
"I know but when you try really hard all you want is for people to love it and be blown away by it" I sighed.
"Interesting" Callie mocked stoking a fake beard intently.
"Now me, have you ever been in love?" I asked secretly hoping she would say yes. I mean I know we love each other but all I want is the reassurance. Just for her to state it out loud when one of us isn't panicking or in a heated moment. That's when you know you love someone; when you can just say it; with no strings attached.
"Yes" she stated simply looking me dead in the eyes.
"Who?" I asked calmly trying to hide my excitement but the smile still showed.
"Well he's annoying obnoxious guy who doesn't take no for an answer" she mused pretending to be in deep thought TRYING to think of good things to say about me.
"Wow he sounds like an idiot" I chuckled as my arm snaked around her waist.
"Oh he is, he's really stupid. But I guess he's got good qualities..." she dragged as if she was pondering in thought.
"Like what he's handsome, hilarious and smart" I answered for her as she shook her head at me.
"More like sexy, kind of funny and too smart for his own good" she smirked as she placed her hand on my chest. I knew it; she didn't take too long to find out what drives me crazy. When Talya did it, it made me feel really uncomfortable but when Callie places her hand to my chest it drives me crazy, so much so that I'm scared that if she doesn't move her hand soon she's going to feel my heart racing.
"You think that I'm sexy? More like a God" I smirked flexing my muscles.
"Well you're the ugliest God I've ever seen" she teased removing her hand from my chest. Sometimes I think she does it just to see the disappointment on my face as my chest goes cold again.
"Says the girl who just called me sexy!" I scoffed smirking evilly.
"N-n-"
"Come here" I taunted before wrapping her in a bear hug burying her deep into my arms swaying us from side to side.
"Since when did you get those muscles?" she panted clearly impressed.
"Oh that wasn't the last of it just you wait until were out of this car" I taunted as she slapped me on the chest.
"Whatever" she grumbled returning back to her seat.
"Oh c'mon you know you love it" I winked.
"Yeah clearly" she grumbled rolling her eyes but I could see the faint smile that was willing to show. Lately she's not had trouble showing emotion, not that I'm complaining.
"What's your longest relationship?" she asked uncertain whether to bring the topic up or not.
"A year" I said honestly.
"A-a year?" she choked.
"With Talya but then she threw it all away on some pathetic looser" I answered truthfully. Talya is in the past but I'll never forgive her. But I don't give a crap about her any more the only person I care about is Callie.
"What happened, you never told me?" she asked curiously not knowing whether she's stepped over the boundary.
"I kept hearing rumours about her with all these guys and I refused to believe them. I even refused to believe Jesus at one point. I denied what my own brother way saying just because I was too blind to see it. People would say she was my first love, but she wasn't. She was just... I don't even know what you'd call it. Looking back I don't think I ever loved her, I guess you don't know anything about love until you have it and then you realise how precious the other person really is. One day I was in class and I'd left the text book we needed in my locker. I got an out of lesson pass to go get it and as I was walking there I heard something shatter from inside the janitors closet. Being curious I went to go check and there was Talya, lying on the floor with a guy over her sucking faces" I said sadly regretting at how stupid I'd been.
"That's awful, did you know the guy?" Callie asked softly as she crept back over to be and snuggled in my arms.
"Yeah it was one of my best friends Tom. Tom actually sat next to me in that class. About 10 minutes before I left he left to get something, turns out he was just going to the janitor's closet to have sex with my girlfriend." I sighed and lay my head on top of hers.
"My question next" I smiled reassuringly trying to change the topic as she ran her hand up and down my arm. "What's your biggest fear?"
"That the people left will leave me" she answered quietly.
"Cals you know we will never leave you, you know that I will never leave you" I whispered in her ear as I kissed her temple.
"I know but I'm just terrified you will" she sighed playing with her hair. "Okay my turn, what's the biggest lie you have ever told?" she asked evilly hoping to get some secrets out of me.
"Honestly?" I asked seriously.
"Honestly" she assured me twisting her neck to face me.
"The biggest lie I've ever told was when I had to tell someone was and is that I don't love you. I wish everything could be different. I don't want to have to wait until your 18 to be legal. I don't want to have to wait to be able to hold your hand on the street. Or kiss you goodbye. Callie Jacob, pretending not to love you is the hardest thing I've ever had to do" I gushed pushing a stray piece of hair behind her ear.
"Are-"
Hastily a strong force hit as Callie clung to my chest shaking slightly.
"Callie I-"
"Shhh" she mumbled into my chest.
"Why are you crying?" I chuckled lovingly as I kissed the top of her head.
Suddenly her lips flung up to mine as she placed a gentle but sweet kiss on my lips. Sadly we parted too quickly before anyone else in the car would start to complain.
"I love you Brandon" Callie smiled giddily.
"I love you too" I chuckled wrapping her in my arms once again.
"Okay my turn again. What's the present you have ever received?" I asked toying with her fingers.
"Present?" she asked quietly as I nodded my head in assurance. "Um... I haven't ever had a present" she answered meekly sinking down in her seat.
"Never?" I asked in shock. How could someone never receive a present in sixteen years?
"Nope" she whispered popping the 'P'.
"Not even for a birthday?" I asked cautiously not knowing what memory's it would bring up from the past, she already has a lot on her mind right now. I'm really worried she's going to get another phone call. What happens if this time it's even worse and I'm not there to protect her? What happens if they come after her, well that's whoever they are?
"No. We never had enough money for food Brandon. We always had to scrimp and save. We always had something to eat; mum always made sure of that. But we could never afford the luxuries. Just food, a bed and the occasional hot water and heating; but that was only on a good week. That didn't happen often.
"I had no idea it was that bad for you" I said worriedly as I pulled her even closer to me.
"Don't worry, it's not that bad if it's the only thing that you have only ever known. We made it through; we just took it one step at a time." Callie smiled sadly twirling her hair indicating deep thought.
"What did you do when you didn't have enough?" I asked sympathetically.
"We'd play on" Called smiled a bitter sweet smile.
"Huh?" I smiled slightly at how proud she was of the people in her past, no matter what.
"Oh it's something my mum use to say. She would always hold me until I stop crying on a bad day. She would always lean down and whisper play on in my ear. That's all I needed to remind me that no matter how tough life got or whenever I was dwelling on the bad card life had dealt us, I needed to play on. I needed to carry on and finish the life I started with my head held high and never back down. That's when the world wins. That's when people think that you may as well give up. She used to say 'Even through the storm on the darkest night. Don't you ever give up that fight. Even when you feel you're all alone" she whispered sadly smiling faintly at her memories.
"She sounds amazing Callie" I whispered against her forehead.
"She was" She smiled brightly even though her eyes told a different story. You could see the pain, painful memories as the smile turned bitter sweet.
"She would have been proud of the equally amazing, beautiful girl sitting beside me" I replied truthfully with nothing but adoration in my eyes.
"My turn" she whispered placing a quick kiss on my cheek. "What is one thing you would change about me?"
"Hmm nothing" I answered truthfully.
"C'mon there must be one thing" she laughed.
"You need to care more about yourself sometimes" I said hoping she would take that as an answer.
"Hey buddy what do think I'm going out with you for?" she chuckled.
"Touché" I joked. "My turn... what would you change about me huh?" I teased.
"Oh definitely the muscle tee" she joked looking down at my abs showing through.
"Oh well I can change back to my regular shirts if you want" I said catching on.
"Oh no, I don't want to cause too much trouble for you, just keep it on there; it's not that bad. I can deal with it" she smirked pretending to be disappointed.
"Thought you might feel that way" I grinned "But seriously what would you change about me?"
"You're too irresistible and it kills me" she blushed.
"Well I knew that already" I taunted flexing my muscles
"Okay my turn stupid" she groaned trying not to look at my muscles, she's so obvious.
"Hey!" I whined as she pushed my arm. "Someone really likes my muscles" I teased as she scowled. "Continue with your question"
"What's your favourite song?"
"Fast Car by Tracey Chapman even though I prefer the Boyce Avenue version... or invisible Hunter Hayes" I replied.
"Oh both are great songs" she whispered a lot tenser that she was before.
"Okay what was your favourite childhood memory?" I asked curiously.
"We one time when I was younger, I can't remember how old I was, my mum and dad took me and Jude to a park somewhere across town. I just remember my mum pushing me on the swing and we were laughing. Probably at something that would seem so stupid to me now. I just always remember it, it's one of the few memories that I know I will always remember. One day I'm scared I'm just going to forget what she looked like or the sound of her voice" she whispered sadly.
"Callie just listen to me, you will never forget her. You will never let yourself" I mumbled kissing her cheek.
"I know" she sighed deeply. "Okay umm have you ever broken a bone?"
"Never, it must be painful though" I winced thinking of the sound of a bone snapping.
"Oh it is" she assured wincing herself remembering the pain from some time ago.
"What's your favourite song?" I questioned curious to why she got so tense earlier.
"Play on by Carrie Underwood" she smiled brightly "That was our song"
"It's a great song you should learn how to play it on guitar!" I suggested excitedly.
"I don't know it might be too difficult" she sighed not sure if I should bother.
"We'll figure it out together" I smiled happily.
"Ok then. Umm what's your favourite place to be?" she asked.
"That would have to be my room because that's where I get to play piano and get to be alone with you" I answered truthfully kissing the tip of her nose lightly. "Have you broken any bone before?" I questioned happily.
"Yeah um... I've broke my um..."
"Come on a question is a question" I stated.
"Just promise you won't get mad?" she questioned hesitantly.
"I promise" I said worriedly but kept the smile on my face for encouragement.
"I've broke my let's see um..." Tensed when I realized she had to think about it "I've broken my leg, wrist, arm, toe, another toe, two ribs, finger and ankle" she whispered nervously as she held her head down to the ground letting her hair shield her face from looking at me.
"How did that happen?" I asked as softly as I could even though the anger was bubbling up inside me.
Suddenly her head whipped up "Brandon I don't want to talk about this" she whispered trying to choke back the rise and fall in her voice.
"Are-"
"Please Brandon" she choked as her lips started to quiver whilst she clenched her eyes shut.
"Your turn" I smiled as hugged her tightly pretending I've not even heard the past two minutes. I know she will tell me, she always does. I guess I will just have wait. I knew she wasn't going to tell me this in front of everyone anyway, even if no one is listening.
"What's your favourite place to be kissed?"She asked smiling slightly.
"Definitely the neck" I smirked as my lips rushed down to her neck swiftly.
"Brandon!" Callie giggled as we got a few strange looks from the row in front of us.
"Ok" I laughed as I withdrew my lips from her neck. "What's your full name?"
"Callie Emillie Jacobs"
"A beautiful name for a beautiful women" I joked trying to be a cliché as possible.
"Oh shut up what's your full name?" she asked chuckling.
"Uh uh you can't steal my question" I protested as my lips went back to tickle her neck.
"Well I just did" she laughed pushing me off of her.
"Fine, Brandon Charlie Foster"
"Handsome name for a handsome guy" she joked laughing her head off.
"Hey don't steal my line" I whined sulking back in my chair.
"Would a kiss make it all better baby?" Callie mocked.
"Yes" I sulked as she reached up to my lips but before they touched they moved an inch over and landed on the corner of my mouth.
"Your evil" pouted crossing my arms.
"Well that's all you're going to get" She taunted happily. "Where would you go if you could go anywhere?" she asked curiously.
"I would go back in time and save you from all the pain you have been in" I answered truthfully.
"Awe this is why I love you" she mumbled hugging me happily.
"Now can I have a kiss?" I begged as I stared down at her lips, my eyes drawing closer.
"Nope" she smirked smugly.
"Again you're evil" I groaned sitting back in defeat.
"And you love me for it" she chuckled.
"Yeah" I groaned I response.
"Wait you have two questions now I get two!" I announced suddenly.
"If you could date anyone famous who would it be and why?" I asked curiously.
"Oh Hunter Hayes or Ross Lynch; oh yeah definitely. Can I have both?" she said dreamily.
"No, and for the record if it was me I would say nobody because I'd rather be with you" I added sweetly.
"Cute but you're not getting a kiss" she smirked patting my cheek.
"Ok then what's your favourite place to be kissed?" I smirked knowing she couldn't get out of this one.
"On the forehead, not all of us are hormonal teenage boys" she justified rolling her eyes.
"Of course not" I smirked kissing her forehead lovingly.
