Forever In Love With My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 4

I know I said it a few times, but all of you are awesome! I never would've thought that the first book would get 200K reads. Like ever. I honestly don't know if anybody reads these, but for the ones that are thank you!

I would like to do something in return, so I'm probably just going to dedicate a chapter to some of you (it will be random!).

Thank you again! I love you all so much!

Comment. Vote. Stay amazing!

Love, El

I looked over to my clock as Callie's phone key rang. Who the hell would be calling her at five in the morning? I rolled over after she picked up her phone.

I opened my eyes and watched her. She hasn't been sleeping. I can tell that much.

"Hello?... Yeah.... Why?..." She began crying. "No way... Okay... We'll be there in a couple hours. But it's for real?" She smiled and wiped her cheeks. "Love you." She hung up and I sat up.

"What's wrong?" I asked. She smiled and looked me in the eyes.

"Scott's awake."

"For real this time?"

"That's what they're saying."

"Then why are we still laying around?" She laughed through her happy tears and got up. She put on a pair of those amazing leggings and a sweatshirt, pulling her hair up in the process. I quickly began to throw our things in the suitcase.

"Honey, what's going on?" Mom asked tying her robe. I looked up to see Callie smiling.

The smile that I haven't seen in months. That same smile that made me smile.

"Scott's awake." Callie replied happily. Mom smiled and hugged Callie. "I'm sorry we have to leave."

"No, honey don't be. It's a Christmas miracle." Callie nodded and mom wiped away her tears.

"I'm so sorry for not being myself lately and for last night. I didn't mean to scare you like I did." Mom smiled and pulled Callie into her arms, holding her tightly.

"I'm just happy you're okay, sweetheart." I smiled and zipped up our suitcase.

"Can you tell everyone we're sorry and we'll see them soon?" I asked hugging my mom.

"Of course. Now go." Mom smiled as Callie walked past her.

"I haven't seen her smile like that in months." I said quietly.

"Well if you want it to stay you better move your butt!" I chuckled and went down the stairs. "Love you!"

"Love you!" Callie ran down to the awaiting cab.

The entire way to the airport she couldn't stop smiling. When she grabbed my hand and never let go, I couldn't stop smiling.

Callie smiled to me as we sat on the plane. I pulled close her to me.

"This was the only Christmas present I wanted." She whispered.

"I know, baby." She smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Slow down." I laughed as Callie pulled my arm when we got off the elevator. She looked back to me with a smile.

She stopped when she got to the door.

"What's wrong?" I asked squeezing her hand. She shook her head and opened the door. Everyone looked to us. Scott was awake and smiling. Callie began to tear up for the second time today.
