Will It Ever Be The Same?

Chapter 3: What happened, I still don't understand.

BRANDON's POV:

Yesterday night was so fast. It took so much time to process what happened. I proposed to Cath. Yes, I love her, but why did I propose? Was I trying to make Callie jealous? Now I can't even take it back. Callie looked so genuinely hurt. The pain I saw in her was equivalent to the pain I saw when she told me about Liam, when she found out that she wasn't getting adopted, when she decided that it would be best to move away for college. Then I remembered Jesus yelling at me. What was he saying. Oh ya he said, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" What was my fault. The pain I put Callie through? What about the pain I went through every day when I saw her smiling? Well, it doesn't matter now. I am getting married to Cath, the love of my life. She's my outlaw, not Callie.

JESUS's POV:Last night, once Callie dropped her phone, I came to the conclusion that Brandon really screwed things up. Maybe it was something she read on her phone, but I didn't check. All I know is that B was really stupid to propose, when he knew he still loved Callie. How much pain is she going to have to soak in before she breaks? I decided that I needed to talk to Mari and Jude about her.

"Hey Mari, can I come in?" "Ya sure." "Where's Callie," I asked. "Oh she said she was going for a walk." We just sat there in complee and utter silence for almost two minutes. "Yesterday," that was all I needed to say before she started speed talking. "Whoa Mariana, I know a lot happened yesterday, but you need to slow down girl." This had us giggling for a few seconds before she started talking. "Jesus, everytime Callie looks at Brandon, all I see is love in her eyes. She was so happy to come home, and confess her feelings for B. I don't know what happened in the kitchen after I left, but she came up crying. I've never seen her so broken, so, so vulnerable. Something happened to that spark in her. That fighting spirit she always had. The Callie we used to know died when she left for college." I sighed, knowing that we felt the same thing towards Callie. Admiration. She was strong and powerful, but now she was broken, and Brandon was the hammer that broke her glass down. "Mari, we can't do anything now. B is skipping the engagement. He says Cath wants to get married this month. We can't break them up. We can't." "I know. What kills me though is seeing Jude, he wants to help Callie, but he can't. He can't even look at her anymore. It pains him. "I know. It kills me too."

We all headed down to get some breakfeast when we heard Stef's loud, overjoyed voice. "Callie! It's breakfeast time!" We made our way down laughing.

Callie's POV:Breakfeast was always my favorite thing at The Fosters. Well, it was.That was before Robert happened. Sometimes I wonder, what would've happened if Robert gained custody? But here I was, sitting next to Catherine, the girl who held the key to my love's heart. I used to be her once. Except she got it easy. No forced breakups, she gets to live it out happily. I want to be her. SO badly. But I'm not. I am Callie Jacobs, the foster girl who was once strong, but broke. "What's the special?" I asked Stef. "Well honey, today we're having B's famus pancakes, something about a toast to his love." That was all I had to hear before tears threatened to spill out of my eyes. He used to tell me that he would make his killer pancakes for me one day. But that was back when I was strong and put together.

Cath's POV:

"So Cath, how are my killer pancakes?" B asked. "Mm they are delicious. What's your secret?" "Love." B was mine and will always be. I love him truly. But I expected his family to be a lot more excited when he popped the big question, but maybe they were just surprised. I know I was. Out of the corner of my eye I saw B's foster sister- what's her name Cathy, oh right Callie- looking all upset. So I tapped her. "Hey, you alright." "Yeah, just a little sore. My backs not used to small beds anymore."

Callie's POV:

It hurt so much. The gentle touch of Catherine's fingers. He did this to me and I stayed. Not crying, not moving, just stayed, and let all of it happen agan. Because nobody cares about me. I looked down at my now buzzing phone.

Touches hurt thr most hun. You think she's gonna give you hime that easily. You're never gonna be happy.

-Liam

And he was right again.

Later that night., I head down to get some water. I was in so much pain. Everything hurt. I sat down on the couch, drinking my water, when I felt a familiar presence. It was B.

"Hey everything alright?" "Ya, just couldn't sleep. You?" "Same. I'm so stressed out about the wedding. Mind if I sit?" "Go ahead. You dn't have to worry. Moms will make it perfect for you."

Brandon's POV:

Callie and I just sat down catching up for hours. It was nice. I missed her more than I thought I did. All of a sudden I noticed that she was having some trouble breathing. "Callie, are you okay?" She pointed to the water, and I quickly gave her some. I just rubbed her back until her breathing returned to normal. Her shirt sleeve fell off of her right shoulder and I noticed major bruising. "Callie- why the hell are you so bruised?" She woldn't answer. "Callie ANSWER ME!" She was shaking. "Liam." That was all I needed to hear before she broke down.

"Callie, I need you to tell me everything please. I know it's hard, but I need to know. Why couldn't you breathe?" "The breathing part. A few months ago, I was at college and all of a sudden I blanked out. Culdn't breathe and my cheast ached. I went to the hospital and- and.." "And what?" "B- I have lung cancer. Their giving me a few weeks, maybe a month left, which is why I came here for break. To say goodbye." At this point I was crying. Why does she have to experience so much pain? What did she do to deserve this life? "Callie, I'm so sorry. What did Liam have to do with this?" "Well, on my way here I was at the gas station buying snacks. I saw Wyatt and went to say hi to him. He turned around ans I saw taht it was Liam with a wig on. He dragged me into his truck and um raped me again. He didn't take away my phone, so I tried to call somebody quickly. I tried calling the first person in my starred list." "Why didn't you call one of us?" "I did. It was you. You didn't pick up. Liam returned, and raped me, but then he let me go. I stopped at a drugstore to buy makeup to hide the bruises." Now I felt like  loser. I hated Liam, but I hated myslf even more. Why didn't I pick up? No wonder Jesus hated me. I hate myself too. "I'm so sorry Cal." "It's not your fault B. You have Cath to protect now, I can't keep leaning on you." And that's when we both broke. Crying ourselves to sleep.

Cath's POV:
I don't know where B went last night. The bed was empty this morning. I walked down to get some breakfeast with the rest of the Fosters and couldn't believe my eyes. My boyfriend holding his sister in his arms. "UGH!!"
