Blank Space

Chapter 25

“Shit shit shit shit,” Callie whispered under her breath. She turned to walk back in to the school, but it was too late he had already seen her. 

“Going back to your old life huh?” Liam asked pushing off Madison’s car and pulling his sunglasses off his face. 

“Done hiding behind your phone?” Callie asked crossing her arms over her chest. 

“Oh Callieope,” Liam laughed shaking his head. 

“My father is the only one that gets to call me that. Further proof you know absolutely nothing about me,” Callie sighed. 

“I know more about you than you think,” Liam said matter of fact. 

“Really. Well if that’s the case should I expect you to just follow me to my next destination?” Callie asked clearly annoyed. 

“Not following you. No, I just wanted to make sure I was able to welcome you back to LA,” Liam smiled. 

“Bullshit. What do you want?” Callie sighed. 

“Well I mean, if you’re going back to your old life that would include me,” Liam said walking closer to her. 

“Stay the hell away from me,” Callie said gritting her teeth.

“That wouldn’t be fun,” Liam said reaching out to her. 

“Don’t touch me,” Callie warned. 

“Or what?” Liam asked. “Your new boyfriend isn’t here to save you,”

“I don’t need saving. I just need you to get the hell out of my way so I can get on with my day,” Callie said stepping around him so that she was closer to the car. 

“Why didn’t he take you with him?” Liam asked with a confused look on his face. “If you were so concerned about met that you ran to Dallas you would think Blake wouldn’t want you out of his sight in LA,”

“How did you know that’s where I went?” Callie asked wide eyed. 

“Come on Callie you’re smarter than this. I know people baby,” Liam smiled. 

“I’m not your baby,” Callie spat unlocking the door and roughly pulling it open.

“I bet he has another girl up there. I mean, he did get one of his exes pregnant. He wasn’t even with her when the baby was born. Is this really who you want to be involved with?” Liam asked walking up to the door. 

“My personal life is none of your concern,” Callie said getting in the car and pulling the door. Before she could close it Liam grabbed it. 

“We’ll just see about that baby,” Liam winked at her before letting go of the door and walking off. 

Callie slammed the door and locked them all before starting her car and speeding to the freeway. She kept looking in her rearview mirror behind her to see if she was being followed and as far as she could tell she wasn’t. She drove straight to Samantha’s house and sat in the driveway to wait for her to get home. She didn’t want to take any chances that Liam would show up at Madison’s.
