I Will Wait For You

Chapter 4

Brandon's POV

I walked up the stairs feeling bad for Jude. I know he hates me but I think he might be over reacting a little. I mean, I can't help my feelings. I walked into my room and sat down at my desk. Could things get any worse?

Callie's POV

Twenty minutes later Rita walked in and sat down next to me. I was still crying.

"It will be okay. It will be okay."

It wouldn't be okay so that comment just made it worse.

"You will see Jude."

I didn't know if that was true but that was all I was really thinking about. Then Rita started talking again.

"Callie, why do you think Brandon kissed you?"

I really had no ideas so that's what I said.

"I don't know. He loves me?"

That sounded so weird to say. Love hadn't been on my radar with Brandon.

"Are you sure?" Rita asked.

"Yes!" I replied with a little to much force in my voice.

Then Rita stood up and left me alone.

Lena's POV *later that night*

"What are we going to do?" I asked Stef.

"I really don't know."

"I thought we should just ground Brandon from seeing Callie."

Stef and I talked about Brandon, Callie, and tried to understand what was happening to our family. After a while we decided to ground Brandon for a month.

Callie's POV

I remembered I had group with the other girls. Great. I went to the bathroom to wash up and then sat down with every one else. I was the last one there so it was definitely awkward. When I sat down I knew every one wanted to hear from me so I started to talk.

"That was my old foster brother, Brandon. Ge said he needed to see me. I have no idea why he kissed me. Maybe because he's in love with me? I really don't know."

Then Gabi said she thought Brandon was hot. That was probably not the right thing to say. That's Gabi for you.

"I just need to see Jude."

For the rest of group I zoned out and got lost in my own world.

*the next day*

Around noon Rita came into my room and told me we needed to talk about punishments. She said I could't see Jude for at least two weeks and I had earned two extra jobs to do around the house. I wondered what to do.

Brandon's POV

I couldn't believe I was grounded for a month! How was I supposed to see Callie? I guessed I wasn't supposed to.

I mean Jude gets to see Callie but not for two weeks. I hope Callie was okay in the group home. She is probably in a lot of trouble too. What did I get myself into to? I just wanted to see Callie.

* a week and a half later*

Callie's POV

I know I can't see Jude or leave the house but I need to see him. I needed to talk to him and make it clear that I still love him. I decided to sneak out to see him.

*8:30pm*

In fifteen minutes I'll hop on the roof above the porch. From there I can reach the ground. Everyone should be asleep by then so I don't think I'll have any problems. It should take me three hours to get to the house, talk to Jude, and come back. That sounds good. I should be back by midnight.
