The New Fosters: A Brallie Story

Chapter 16

Brandon's POV:

"Get out of here," I say through gritted teeth. I move protectively in front of Callie as I stare daggers at Liam.

"Let me think about that. Hmm, no. I came here to talk. You see I still love you Callie and I'm way better than this piano playing geek,"he says pointing a finger at me. "You know that already though. You also know that I always get my way... No matter what I have to do to get it," he glances back to me and then out the door to our sleeping family in the waiting room.

"Liam. You want me not them. Keep them all out of this. They have nothing to do with this and why would that hurt me they're just another foster family. Just like yours was. Leave them out of it, that includes Brandon," she say quickly glancing at me. She has to be just saying this so he'll leave us all alone, right? She doesn't actually think like this. Does she? No she can't.

"Does that mean Jude too?" He says with an evil smirk. I feel Callie tense. I run my thumb in circles on the back of her hand to try and calm her down.

"KEEP HIM OUT OF THIS!" Callie yells.

"Don't worry. I wouldn't hurt him any more than I did when you lived with me," he says. His evil smirk broadening.

"Fine you win. You win Liam," Callie says as she pulls the oxygen tubes out of her nose and grabs her clothes from the chair I was previously sitting in. She head for the bathroom.

"Callie don't do this," I plead.

She looks at me with sad terrified eyes that break my heart into a million pieces. "I'm sorry, but I won't let anything happen to Jude... I can't," she says and then shuts the bathroom door.

"That was just so touching," Liam says wiping a fake tear off of his face. "Don't you worry. You can have her back when I'm done with her," he says smiling as if it were all a funny joke.

I feel my cheeks turn red and my fists clench until my knuckles are paper white. I grind my teeth. "I won't let you hurt her again Liam," I say through my gritted teeth. My jaw is clenched so tight if I were to put any more pressure on it my teeth would crumble into dust, which is also what I want to do to Liam right now, turn him to dust.

"And how do you plan on doing that?" He asks.

"Well first I plan on wiping that smirk off of your face," I say as I charge him. I punch him right in the eye. He stumbles back a little. Then he punches me in the stomach. I almost fall back to to bed. He throws a really great right hook. I get back up. I have to defend Callie. I can't let him take her away from me. I punch him in the nose hearing a loud crack. His hands fly to his bleeding nose. I take this chance to punch him in the stomach like he did me. A look of fury flashes across his face. He punches me in the face, busting both of my lips. Then back in the stomach. Does he not have any other place to punch? He punches me in the back. I hunch forward in pain. He uses this as an opportunity to knee me in the face. He sweeps his leg under my feet sending me flying to the ground. My head makes a loud cracking sound as it hits the linoleum floor.

Liam kicks me repeatedly until Callie comes out of the bathroom. When she sees me on the floor she screams. "Brandon! Can you hear me? Are you okay?" I see tears streaming down her face. I try to lift my arm to wipe them away but my arm won't lift.

Liam jerks her up and away from me by her hair. She cries in pain. I want to help her, but I can't move. I'm useless. I'm useless in protecting Callie when she needs it most. Liam hits her in the face. Then he wraps his arm around her neck and drags her out of the room. She kicks and screams to no avail. Liam claps a hand over her mouth and starts out the door.

When they're out of my sight, so probably half way down the hall my moms come rushing in. Jude and the twins right behind them. "What's going on in he- BRANDON!" Mom (Stef) yells.

"Callie," is all I can say.

"Where's Callie?" Jude asks at the same time with the same look that Callie had on her face before Liam took her. It broke my heart all over again.

Mom (Stef) looks around the room. "Lena stay with Brandon. Jesus get a nurse. Mariana calm Jude down. NOW!" She yells. Then she runs out of the room and down the hall, looking for Callie. I fell really light headed and then I pass out.

I'm SO sorry I didn't update yesterday. My sister was in town, so I was out all day and then Wattpad deleted the chapter so I had to rewrite everything. I hope it was worth the wait.
