Will It Ever Be The Same?

CHAPTER 5: One Step Back

LENA's POV:
I was woken up by the loud scream of Catherine. She yelled with so much force that even Stef woke up. And trust me, on Saturdays, even the kids wake up before her. Stef and I made our way down talking. "Honey, what do you think happened?" Stef responded with, "I don't know, but if this is how Cath wakes up we better call the marriage off." We both chuckled a little bit before walking into the living room. There lay two perfectly still, beautiful children. B holding the frail little body of Cal in his arms. Sleeping peacefully, as if no one was around. It was beautiful, however, i knew this had to end, for standing next to me was Stef, the woman who had banned this love from the minute it occured, and in front of me stood Catherine, the bride-to-be of my son, who I knew would need an explanation. To me, they looked beautiful. They had a love like no one else. However, I knew that this would be another Romeo and Juliet ending, for what I see, others don't. "What are they doing?" Stef screamed loudly. This caused some stirring in the two kids in front of me. Yes, they are grown-ups, but to my eyes, theya are still my babies. It hurt like hell to watch them leave to college, knowing that when they returned they would be grown-ups. I don't care how old they are, to me they are still the happy kids they used to be inside. "Stef, they were probably just talking, and fell asleep." "Mrs. Adams Fosters, why is my boyfriend holding his sister in his lap? HUH?" "Cath, this is all a big misunderstanding. Let's wait to ask them before we turn this problem into a bigger one." And as if right on cue, Brandon and Callie woke up. Brandon first, helping her sit up.

BRANDON's POV:
Moms. Catherine. That's all I needed to see before words started flying out of my mouth. "It's not what it looks like," I said way to o quickly. Catherine snarled while saying, "It better not be." This can't happen now. We were just talking. We must've fallen asleep. But I know that this is really gonna screw things up. I was lost in my thoughts when a sweet voice popped up. It was Callie. "B, I'lll tell them. I need to get it off my chest." "Are you sure Cal?" She responded with a tight squeeze of my hand. This is when Mom chimed in, "What exactly are you talking about?" Before I could talk, Callie said, "I need to tell all of you something. But can we please do it once everyone wakes up. And Cath, please don't hate B. This was my fault. I shouldn't have stayed up talking to him. But, I promise it was nothing more." This was followed by a rolling of the eyes from Cath. Lena said, "Sure honey.' With that everyone left.

CALLIE's POV:
Everyone came downstairs. Jesus, Mariana, and Jude now knew about what happened this morning. I'm an idiot. I'm still getting B into trouble, and it's been five years. I don't wanna tell all of them, but I have to. I grab a seat close to Jesus and Mariana, who I know will support me. I explain everything that happened. What happened with Liam, with my heart, and what happened last night. It is extremely quiet for a few minutes. Mari bursts into tears, and surprisingly Jesus does to. Cath just sits there apologizing to B. Stef is dead silent and as pale as a ghost, and Lena is trying to comfort me. Stef stands up and asks Jude if he wants to go to Connor's house today. He says yea, and starts walking to Connor''s. I can't look at B. Not after what I did to him. I've really messed up his life. Suddenly Cath starts talking.

"I know that this is probably not the right time to say this, but before I start I wanna say that I am very sorry for yelling today morning. I was just really surprised. And second," she looked at B and continued, "Guess who's gonna be a daddy?!" And it didn't sink in at first, but when it did, I realized that it's over. Everything we had has to be done. Stef and Lena were congratulating B and Cath, so I ran outside. My heart beated fast, and I knew that this could put me closer to dying, but what point was there to live, when I had just lost the love of my life?

I heard footsteps, so I looked behind, only to find Jesus all puffy faced and red-eyed looking at me. He saud down next to me, right were Stef had sat when I had a freakout at her dad's funeral. He said, "Callie. Oh Callie, I don't want to loose you. I know that before you left, we weren't that close, but I realized that you are an amazing sister and I need you. You can't leave me. Not now. He's a jerk and I'll make sure he regrets it."

"Jesus, don't say that. I love you too, but B isn't a jerk. I shouldn't even be crying over this. It's just that now I'm one step back, again."

Jesus stood up, and gave me a hug. Then, he went back inside. Someone tapped my shoulder I looked back to see that it wasn't Jesus, it was Catherine.
