Okay so side note...Brandon is 17 right now. I just didn't write his birthday.
Callie's POV
Today was a horrible day. My birthday. There are so many reasons why I hate it, one being that everyone paying attention to me. I was at school, it's Friday, at my locker when Brandon came up to me. " Hey, so I was thinking. For your birthday why don't we go celebrate with frozen yogurt?"
" Honestly B, the thing I want the most, is for my birthday not to be acknowledged." Since that time he showed up at my house, me and Brandon have been really close. I hang out with Mariana often, but if I'm not it's with Brandon.
" Okay, I respect that...but I mean, it couldn't hurt to get frozen yogurt." He said with his little smile.
I rolled my eyes, playfully. " I guess not." With that we left the school.
" There's so many choices to choose from." I wined, trying to figure out which flavor I wanted.
Brandon laughed and got himself the red velvet kind. I gasped, " How dare you get some without me!"
" You took too long." He went over and started piling his toppings on.
I decided to go with Vanilla. Simple, just the way I wish my life was. I walked over to Brandon, and he looked into my bowl. " Vanilla? Just plain Vanilla."
I nodded. " Yep." I stated, making sure to pop the 'p'.
" So, how come you seemed to hate your birthday?" Brandon asked me as we sat down to eat our frozen treat.
I played with my yogurt a little. I noticed him waiting for a response, so I gave him one. " Well, when I was little, my mom and I would always do something. Just the two of us. It would be whatever I wanted, and of coarse everyone had to wish me happy borthday, or else I'd cry. I remember one year, we went to the Zoo, and I told everyone it was my birthday. My mom bought me one toy, whatever I chose, for a present. Back then I loved attention and my birthdays."
I looked to meet his eyes. I knew by the look on his face, he's been paying attention. " Well, what changed?"
I shrugged. " Everything...I guess."
We both went back to our yogurt. The silence between us wasn't awkward, but it wasn't really contemptment either.
After I finished eating, and throwing my trash away, I said. " I'm tired, can you drop me off at my house now?"
I watched Brandon check the time, and then nodd.
At the house, Brandon followed me inside. " You good B?"
" Yeah. Let's go to the backyard." He stated while grabbing my arm and pulling towards the backyard. The minute I walked out, people jumped from behind bushes and anywhere else you could hide. " Suprise!"
" A birthday party?" I asked, as Lena came up and gave me a strong hug.
When we pulled apart, Lena gave me a smile. " Do you like it?"
I was about to answer, but I saw Alex standing by Mariana. My face grew into a smile and I yelled, "Alex!"
Alex looked over my way, and started comming towards me. I pulled him into the tightest hug ever. " I can't believe you're here!"
Alex chuckled. " Yeah I am. Also there are a few people from our old school."
" Oh, do they know we...uh?" I asked hoping that none of those judgemental kids knew about our failed relationship.
He looked around and then back at me and whispered. " No, I didn't tell anyone."
I smiled and said. " Good. Now, was this party all your idea?"
" Partially, with the help of Stef, Lena, that girl...Mariana, and- Brandon." He took an abrupt pause before Brandon's nane. I know Alex is still hurting from the breakup, so I wasn't going to push issues.
I looked over at Mariana, and she was comming over here too. " Hey, happy birthday Cal!"
I smiled and gave her a hug. " Did you suspect a thing?"
I shook my head. I wish I would've known, so I could have avoided this. She clapped and said. " I honestly thought Brandon would tell you and ruin the whole thing."
I rolled my eyes, playfully, and Alex said. " I better go see who came and who didn't."
" Okay." I said, watching him leave.
Brandon's POV
I was helping mom's out with putting the candles on the cake. We aren't doing cake for another two hours, but we figured we might as well get a head start. " Okay you're free to go now, B. Thanks for the help." My mom said, as we finished.
" Okay." I stated, and walked away. I saw Callie sitting in a chair, away from everyone else.
I went over to her. " Party not what you expected?"
She looked up at me, and I saw her eyes glossy with tears. She shrugged, not saying anything. I shook my head, and grabbed her arm to pull her up from the chair.
I pulled her to the side of the house where no one could hear or see us. I knew Callie appreciated the privacy to talk. " What's the matter?"
" Everything between me and Alex has changed. Ever since the breakup he seems upset around me. I can't help but feel like I lost my best friend." I nodded, trying to figure out what to say next.
I thought about it. " If Alex wants to be a dumb ass and loose the most amazing girl in the world, then that's on him. But there is no way I'm letting you blame yourself for any of this."
" Thank you B." She said, as she wrapped her arms around me in a hug.
" Anytime." I stated after we pulled away. She looked up at me and gave me a smile. I returned it, but it faded, as did hers. I grabbed her face, and the next thing I knew, I kissed her. God, did it feel good.
I stopped, and waited to see what she wanted me to do next. I feared she'd push me away, or yell at me. But no, she didn't do that. She lunged herself towards me and kissed me.
Returning the kiss, I felt her smile. Nothing felt better than this moment. Nothing felt more right than kissing the beautiful girl in front of me. I felt so much adrenaline and sparks the more we kissed. It was like nothing else mattered but us. Here and now.
Then it stopped. Callie pulled away, and instead of looking happy like she did just a few seconds ago, she looked horrified. It was like she had just seen a ghost. " That shouldn't have happened. I mean-we can't-this won't work." She stuttered.
I was at loss for words. Did we really just kiss, and now she's saying it was a mistake?! Was it a mistake? I don't care, all I know is that I don't regret it. I instantly regretted not saying anything though, when she backed up and walked away. " Callie." I called, but she didn't stop.
Callie's POV
" Happy birthday to you!" Everyone finished the song. I barely paid attention though. I kept on looking and Brandon, and noticed he looked at the ground the whole time, avoiding my look. I ruined everything. I was too afraid to think about what'd happen if we did have a relationship, that I didn't stop to think if he was afraid as well. But hell, he's so brave.
A few hours later, after most everyone left, me and Brandon were stuck cleaning up. We didn't talk or anything, just avoided any real interaction. Until I spoke. " Look, Brandon I'm sor-"
" Spare me the apology that'll some how make me 'feel better', how it'll never work and your so sorry. I don't want to hear it."
That shut me up. Quitetly, I threw my bag of trash away and walked past him. I want to cry. Cry my eyes out as I slide my blade across my arms, making the pain more physical than mental. It helps, but I cant. I can't screw up again. I just- there was a knock at the door.
I walked towards the door, trying to think of who it could be at this time of night. Opening it, I gasped. " Dad."
YAY the Brallie kiss. But hahaha Callie's dad is back. Anyway, what do you guys want to happen between Brandon and Callie? Please let me know.
