Brandon's POV:

I hate this guy already. If he even thinks about laying a hand on Callie I'll kill him. She's mine. She's mine and nobody else's. I know he doesn't like me either so when his mom asked if Jude and I wanted to stay for dinner I couldn't halo but say yes, just to bug him. He was pretending to sleep during the movie and watching Callie and me, so I put my arm around and held her close. Callie was clueless at that point.

After Mrs. Armstrong went back to the kitchen, Callie got up and went to the bathroom. I moved to her spot so she didn't wake Jude. This is my only chance to make sure Ty knows not to mess with my girl.

I turn to look at him, but he's already staring at me with hatred and disgust all over his face. We start at the same time. "Callie's mine, so if you even go near her I will kill you," I say at the same time he says, "if you even think about hurting her I will kill you." We both finish with kill you.

"You? Kill me?" He snorts.

"I've already fought one guy for her and I will do it again. And I promise you, if you are anything like him I won't even blink before killing you with my bare hands." I spit out, my eyes narrowing.

He laughs. Literally laughs out loud. I really want to hurt this arrogant little jerk. "Me? Hurt Callie? Funny concept. I wouldn't let anything or anyone hurt her. I can't help what has happened to her in the past, but I know for a fact that nothing will happen to her in the future because I won't let it," he says in a serious tone.

"Callie's gone through a lot in her life. I haven't always been able to protect her the way I want to so, as long as you understand that she is mine and that's not up for discussion, we can work together to keep her safe." I tell him.

"Dude, she's going to be my sister no worries for me trying to steal her from you, and I'm in. Nothing will happen to Callie when she's here or out with my family. I assume nothing will happen to her when she's with you or your family and at school she's doubly protected. I've seen the bruises and the cuts that happened right before she got here. I know someone did that to her. All I want to do is keep her out of danger. Can you trust me enough to do that when she's with me?" He asks.

"I can't be with her 24/7 so I guess I have to, but if anything happens to her while she is with you, I will hold you responsible."

"Deal and vice versa. Oh and this doesn't mean that I like you." He says to me.

"This doesn't mean that I like you either." I say back to him. Then our we go into our thoughts and the room is silent.

Callie soon comes back with a scared look on her face. "What's wrong?" I whisper to her when she sits down next to me on the couch.

"Nothing. I just don't feel well." She says. Then she rests her head on my shoulder again and closes her eyes. "Wake me up when dinner's ready please." I nod and kiss her on the top of her head.

Dinner is ready an hour later and I wake Callie and Jude. We all get up and go into the kitchen. As we sit at the table Mrs. Armstrong hands us plates with food already piled on top.

We eat making pleasant small talk. Half way through dinner a man in a business suit walks through the door. Ty stiffens and Callie squeezes his hand as if to show him that everything will be okay. What is going on in this house? I'm guessing that this is Mr. Armstrong and Ty's dad. Do he hit Ty? Has Callie seen it happen?

"Oh, I didn't know that we were having company tonight, hello. I'm Richard Armstrong and you are?" He asks looking at Jude and me.

"This is my friend, Brandon and my little brother, Jude." Callie pipes in. I mumble a 'nice to meet you' and keep quiet the rest of dinner.

After dessert we all went to Callie's room. Ty turned on some loud music saying, "you're gonna want this." Callie goes back to the bathroom and I hear the facet running. I wonder what's wrong with her.

When she comes out she walks us back downstairs and to the front door. "Thanks for coming. I really missed you guys. If I'm feeling better tomorrow I will come over so I can see everyone." She says. She hugs Jude and kisses his hair. Then he runs to the car and buries his face in the book he brought.

I take this as my chance to kiss Callie like I've wanted to for week. Her arms wrap around my neck and her hands tug on my hair, while my hands go to her waist. God I love this girl.

When we pull away for air she grins. "I love you," she says.

"I love you too," I say as I wrap her in a hug. "I better go before moms get worried, but you are coming over tomorrow right?"

"Yep!"

"You should, um, bring Ty with you." I say through clenched teeth. I just have to remember that it's more protection for my girl.

"Are you sure you're okay with that?" She asks looking up at me.

"Of course. He seems nice enough."

"Okay, I'll bring him." I kiss her one more time and get in the driver's seat of the car. Callie stands in the doorway and waves as we drive off. Maybe I'll just have to have Jesus entertain Ty, then I'll get alone time with Callie.
