Searching For Something More (Brallie FanFic)

Stef's POV

Stef: 

I continue to drive on the way to Brandon's piano performance. Mike was picking him up so I found my way back stage to find them. I knock on the white, wooden door labeled 'Brandon Foster' and wait for any responds.

When I dont get one I answer myself "It's mom" I say opening the door to reveal my son and ex husband. 

Brandon looked my way, dressed all nice. I could tell he was super nervous and I give him a slight reassuring smile and turn to Mike. "Can you excuse up for a moment please?" Mike exited the room and closed the door behind him. I turn back to Brandon and fix his shirt. 

"Your nervous," I look into his eyes

"And sweaty," He added making us both laugh a little. He moved uncomformably in his shirt while I tried to get his attention. 

"Brandon," he continued to move "Brandon" When I have his eyes bck on me I continue. "Are you doing this for Callie?" 

Brandon snapped, defending them both right away. "Mom, she's in juvie". 

"Brandon, you know what I mean. Like so she will be proud of you when she gets out," 

His eyes traveled to the ground and his feet. "Mom.." 

"Brandon, tell me" I knew ever since Callie wasn't  talking to him after her mother died that Brandon was doing everything to try and get her proud of him again. He started spending more time at the places she loved and doing things she enjoyed watching him do, like piano. 

"Yes," His eyes met mine again, and I could tell her missed her more then anything. "And Jude, Mom, she wasn't just my best friend, she wasn't just like a sister to me, I care about her more then anything in the entire world and I would do anything for her". 

Mike walked in and I left to my seat. Brandon soonly walked on stage and played a beautiful piece, one I was pretty sure he wrote. I stared in wonder at Brandon as he played so gracefully. He had worked his ass off to get to this point. 

My mind started to wondered. Sometimes it suprised me how hurt Brandon still was from Callie. Although I wasn't much better. Callie was like a daughter to me, and we still help Jude as much as possible.  I still remember all the times Callie's mother and I actually talked about Brandon and Callie getting married. I miss them, both of them. But I tried as much as possible to hide all of that and be strong for Brandon and for Jude and Callie. 

I hear all the claps begin and I start to get tears in my eyes. Brandon was going to the finals. 

Brandon finds me soon after and we drive home. "I'm proud of you, B" I smile looking at him but he didn't seem to care much. 

"Thanks," He mumbled. 

"She'd be proud of you too". His head snaps my way and I look back at him once more before returning my eyes to the road. 

"How do you know?" He slugs back over, staring at the window. 

"Because, you have grown into an extremely strong, caring, and all around wonder person. That's all she'd want. Plus, your still playing Brandon. She probably figures that it reminded you of the bad stuff with her and that you would quit. Brandon, I know she is proud of you because everyone else is. Jude looks up to you, your more of a father then anyone he has ever had in his life". My eyes every once in a while wondered to him but he remain silent. 

Brandon escaped the car and I pulled it into the driveway and turned it off. Through the window I could see everyone congratulating Brandon. He faked a lot of smiles and acted like nothing was bothering him. If I wasn't his mother I would never notice. I exit the car and decide to join them. 

I walk up to Lena and kiss her a kiss on the cheek while she set dinner on the table. "Brandon made it to finals!" Lena repeated. 

"Yeah! I'm so proud". I smiled 

"As am I! That is wonderful". Lena looked at our three amazing kids with a smile.

I hear the bathroom door slam and I look, wondering what friend the twins may have brought over. When I see her. It's Callie. I run to her, hug and giving her kisses on her cheek. "I've missed you so much" was all I could manage out. Callie was back. In my house. How I have no idea but she was here and thats what mattered.
