Lena stands in the door way, watching us with wide eyes. Her left hand covers her mouth and by the look on her face I can tell she's both confused and disappointed in us. Unsure what to do, I get up and go lock myself in the bathroom to cry. Lena made the same face Mrs. Omlstead made when she caught me and Liam kiss. I'm both embarrassed and scared. What is she going to do? What if she calls Bill? What if she hates me now?
I wipe my tears and calm myself down. When I come out of the bathroom, the first person I see is Lena. I try to ignore her and walk past her to my seat but she grabs my arm.
"We need to talk," she says staring me right in the eye. She doesn't look angry though, she looks sympathetic.
"There's nothing to talk about," I reply but my voice cracks a bit.
"Actually, Callie, there is. You know the rules Callie."
"I know, I know. I'm sorry."
"You didn't let me finish," I look up at her and she continues talking, "I'm not going to do anything to hurt any of you. I understand, Callie, you love him - just like I love Steph. Love is love I wouldn't let anyone tell me I can't be with Steph, so I don't expect you to let anyone tell you you can't be with Brandon." I smile at her, we hug each other and I whisper thank you to her.
***6 hours later***
It's only 10:00 on a Friday night but I lay in bed thinking about what happened at the hospital. And about Brandon. Did Lena give us permission to date? Love is love I wouldn't let anyone tell me I can't be with Steph, so I don't expect you to let anyone tell you you can't be with Brandon. I replay our conversation over and over in my head and it makes me smile.
I grab my phone, unlock it, and click on instagram to try to distract me from the thoughts of the huge day that I just had. Scrolling through my news feed, I realize that everyone posted pictures saying "Happy Valentine's day" and I remember that today is February 14th. Our first Valentine's day was spent in the hospital.... How romantic.
I'm about to text him when I remember that he's in the hospital.... And that his phone got destroyed in the accident. I set my phone down and try to get to sleep. Right when I close my eyes, my phone vibrates.
How's your Valentine doing? Sorry I haven't
been able to go to the hospital, but I'm still
surprised that he made it.... Happy
Valentine's day!
xoxo, Liam.
