Stay

Chapter 13

Callie's POV:

As soon as I finish writing in the journal, the doorbell rings. I wait a few moments to see if anyone gets it. When I realize that I'm home alone, I get up and answer the door.

"Callie, hi!" A girl says as soon as I open the door.

"Oh Talya, hi. Brandon's not here right now" I say trying to get her to go away.

"That's okay, I'll just go and wait up in his room until he gets back." She says, a little too eager.

"Be my guest" I say opening the door to her and she comes right in and up the stairs.

I decide to get a small snack and then watch some tv.

As soon as I turn the tv on, the door opens, revealing Brandon.

"Hey!" He says smiling, "where's moms? I noticed their car isn't there."

"Stef's at work, Lena's still at the school with Jude, Jesus, and Mariana"

"Oh, okay. What are you watching?"

"I don't know, I'm just switching through some channels" I say.

"Cool, mind if I watch with you?" He asks.

"Oh, um I almost forgot, Talya is upstairs. She came over a few minutes ago."

"Oh" he says looking a little disappointed, "okay thanks for telling me".

•••

That night, after everyone had gotten home and Talya had left, I decide to go get ready for bed.

When I get into me and Mariana's room, she's on her bed I notice something off.

"Did you touch my journal?" I quietly ask her.

"No, what journal?" She responds confused.

"Someone has been in here and they read my journal."

"None of my friends have been in here and I didn't touch it"

I stare at her angrily until I realize that she wouldn't have read it. Mariana is my best friend, we've gotten so close since I moved in, she wouldn't have done that.

"Who else has been in here?" Then it hits me, Talya. Talya was alone upstairs. Talya read my journal. Talya knows about Liam, about what he did to me.

•••

The next day at school, before first period, I see Talya in the hallway with her friends.

I march right up to her, "I know what you did"

"I don't know what you're talking about, Callie" she says smiling her sweet, innocent, fake smile.

"Stop acting, I know you read my journal"

"Now why would I do that?" She asks smiling that same smile.

"I don't know, maybe because you're a twisted psychopath?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, I didn't read your journal, I didn't read about Liam."

I couldn't handle it anymore, I couldn't handle her starring at me sweetly and lying about what she did.

The next thing I know, there's a loud clap sound, and my hand slaps her face.

Surprised, she looks up at me holding her cheek and her face getting red.

I give her one last glare and storm away.
