(The picture at the top is Jesse Barnes, Callie's BFF)
I started speed walking down the hall, when I heard Justin's voice. The faint sound of him yelling my name crawled up my spine. I started walking faster, then I started running. I ran all the way to the door when someone grabbed my wrist. "Stop!" I yelled. "What the h***, Callie?" It was Jesse. I never made it to the food court, so her and Matt must've come looking for me. "I-I'm sorry." I said. I wiped away the tears on my face as Matt patted my back. "What happened, Cal?" He looked concerned. I shrugged. "Nothing.it was nothing." He sighed. Jesse, Matt and I walked back to the food court and ordered our lunches. When we got back to our table, Jesse and Matt sat on both side of me. "What?" I said as I took a bite of my orange chicken. Jesse handed me a napkin and gave me a concerned look. "Seriously, what happened back there, Cal? You never even showed up to to lunch, until now." "Okay." I said. Tears started streaming down my cheeks before I even said a word. "Callie, relax." Matt said slowly. His calming words made my flow of tears stop. "Okay." I said again. "Do you remember Justin Parker from Junior year?" I asked. Jesse looked at me and slowly nodded. "I am being forced to marry him. My parents and I have to move in with him and his family on Sunday because we've been evicted from our home." I said, the tears starting up again. "But-but your past with him. What about that?" Jesse asked. I just burst into tears again.
