Callie's Pov ~~~Months later~~~~ It's been 6 excruciatingly long months since the Liam accident and everything is the same. Brandon and I are still dating and like every other couple we have fought a couple times but everything else is good. Jude has now been officially adopted which is great! He even calls Stef and Lena mom! It's great! Right now I'm sitting in my room waiting for Marianna to get home. I forgot to mention it's graduation day! Brandon and I are graduating from High School! Everyone is frantically getting ready around the house wi'll I just wait here for Marianna to come back. She went to the mall because apparently she was having a makeup crisis. After about 20 minutes of me just sitting on my phone Marianna busts through the door! What are you doing?! It's your graduation day and your sitting on your ass! Come on Cal! We need to get you ready!" She says and walks over to her closet. I sit there wi'll she looks through a bunch of dresses. Stef and Lena offered to bye me an actual graduation dress but Marianna insisted she wanted me to wear one of hers. So I just agreed so it would save me a trip to the mall. After a while Marianna turns around with a beautiful white and blue outfit in her hands. The top is white and is a v-neck and the top goes down to the waist then the skirt is a beautiful blue. "You like?" She says with a smile. I just nod and she hands me the outfit and I head to the bathroom. I slip on the top and the skirt when I get to the bathroom then quickly walk back over to our room. "It's perfect!" Marianna squeals as I walk into the room. "It really is beautiful Marianna, thank you." I say and walk over to give her a hug. She hugs me back but pulls away quickly and says "Now. It's time for makeup sit down!" I whine "Come on Marianna do I really have to?" "Yes! Now sit down!" she commands. I frown but do as I'm told. Marianna does my hair and my makeup and after forever I'm finally done. Marianna turns the chair around and I look at myself in the mirror. Wow. That's all I can think. I actually look pretty. "I don't know what to say" "Just say thank you." Marianna replies with a smile. I get up and hug her again. She pulls away and says "Go stand over there I need to admire my creation." I smile as she says this and walk over to the other side of the room. Marianna smiles "Damn I did good! Brandon is gonna die!" She says. This makes me blush and she sees it and laughs. "Knock Knock!" Stef says as she opens the door. She sees me and stares. "Callie,You look beautiful!" She says and comes over to give me a hug. "Thank you" I say and pull away from the hug. "Well it's time for us to go! Mari, you, Jesus and Jude are going to go with Lena and Mike, I'm taking Brandon And Callie cause they need to get there early okay?" Marianna nods and I head out the door and downstairs. Brandon's Pov I'm waiting at the door when my breath catches. I see Callie walking down the stairs. She looked beautiful I stand there in awe just staring at her when comes over to me. She kisses my cheek and I snap out of my trance. "Y-y-you look beautiful"I say stuttering. She smiles and says "Thanks. And you look incredibly handsome." I smile and give her a quick kiss on the lips. "To much PDA children" Stef says walking out the door. We both smile and I take Callie's hand in mine. We get there after 10 minutes and head inside to get our cap and gowns. Callie and I both get our graduation gowns on and head outside where we see other families and kids already dressed in there cap and gowns. We walk outside with our fingers interlocked and see all the family is here. We stand and take everything In. Moms, Dad, the twins, Jude, Grandma Sharon and even Lena's parents came to wittiness our graduation. "I can't believe we are graduating." Callie says "Yeah." I say and lead her over to the family. "Brandon! Callie! It's so nice to see you!" Grandma Sharon says as she engulfs us in a hug. "Nice to see you too!" Callie says "it's good to see ya Grandma" I say. She smiles then looks down at me and Callie's hands. She then looks back to me then to Callie. "So I heard.." She says with a grin. I smile and see Callie blush. "Yeah Grandma" I say. "Well. Callie he better be treating you right." She says Callie nods "Dont worry he is, and I love him very much, so everything is good." I nod and mom interrupts before I can say anything else "Alright, Brandon, Callie I want to get some pictures! I will meet all of you inside" Mom (Lena) says Everyone nods and the family walks inside. "Okay! Now B go over under that tree and Callie go stand by him. "Okkkaaayyy" Callie says and we both walk over to the tree. We try to position our selves but we just end up standing there awkwardly. This is when I see Mom (Lena) sigh "God you too are weird!" "What?" I ask and see Callie smile "Come on, you guys are dating! Brandon put your arm around her or something!" Mom (Lena) says I see Callie blush and smile at her. I wrap my arms around her waist from the side and she puts her arms around my neck. "This better?!" I say Callie laughs "We look so stupid!" She says giggling! "Nooo! You guys look cute!" Mom (Lena) says and snaps a couple pictures! "Alright done! We will get some more later! You two need to get inside!" She says We both nod and head inside. I take Callie's hand in my again and lead her to where we are both supposed to sit. Since the class is separated by last names we sit in different rows. I lead her over to the J section. I look around to make sure know one sees because we are still living in the same house and not many people know about the situation and kiss her forehead. "I love you Foster." She says smiling. I smile back and say "I love you too Cal. I will see you after okay?" She nods and heads to her seat. I turn around and quickly find my spot and wait for the ceremony to start! Stef's Pov I cant believe our babies are graduating! I think to myself as I take a seat next to Jude. I smile at my son. I love calling him that! He is official your baby. Well I know he's not a baby but he's still my little boy. I'm just glad and incredibly blessed that Lena took Callie and Jude in. They where a gift to the whole family. I never thought Brandon and Callie would have ended up together, Especially since I told B specifically that it's not allowed. But what could Lena and I have done. Love is love. And I don't see there relationship ending anytime soon. I'm pulled out of me deep thought when I hear music start to play. Callie's Pov It's been about 10 minutes since Brandon left to go take his seat, and how the music has started to play. They had stopped the music by now and where calling everyone up one by one to receive there diplomas. They where going in alphabetical order so this was going to take a while. They where at the end of E's and Brandon was going to be called soon. I waited, lost in thought when I heard his name being called "Brandon Foster" the principal calls out and I snap out of my thoughts. I see him walk up the steps and receive his diploma. He's standing up the with a huge smile on his face. I smile at him and he looks at me through the crowd. I give him a cheesy smile and a thumbs up, he flashes me a smile and winks as he walks off stage.
I sit there deep in thought for about another insanly boring 30 minutes until I barley hear through my day dream "Callie Jacob" I snap out of my trance and head up to the stage. I cant help but smile as I hear everyone clapping becasue in reality I never thought I would graduate. I had been in so many foster homes and school I didnt think I could do it. But then I came to the Fosters, everything changed and I am happy.
As I walk up the steps I see B out of the corener of my eye. I wink at him like he did to me and mouth I love you. He does the same back and I continue up the stairs.
Once im up the Principal hands me the diploma, I shake her hand and smile to the crowd and walk back to my seat.
~~~~Later that night~~~~
Brandons Pov
Im sitting on the couch with Callie at my side and the rest of the family is gathered in the family room as well. We where going to have a party but we just decided to keep it family, because there is already enough of us as it is. We are all having a movie night because thats what we had decided to do. I look down at Callie and she has her head on my shoulder I smile at her and bring my attention back to the James Bond movie.
I still cant believe we graduated! Its crazy thinking we are going to have to apply to college and we are going to live on our own. I really hope Callie is apart of my future. I dont care where I am or what im doing but I do know when I am with Callie im happy and I feel complete. But I cant think about that, not right now at least, we have the whole summer to decide on what we are gonna do and how we are gonna live our lives, weather its with or without each other, I will never forget the love of my life Callie Jacob.
