Searching For Something More (Brallie FanFic)

Brandon's POV

Brandon: 

I walked down to the hallway, people giving me ugly glares everywhere I looked. I even heard someone whisper "Friends with a criminal might as well be one". I continued down the hall, ignoring people's comment and glares, keeping my head up knowing that's what Callie would do. I let my hand rest on the cold steel door handle before twisting it and entering my alone space. 

I sit at the piano and continued to play the only part of the song I had written. I try to find or get a new part  but it was getting harder then I expected. This song was suppose to be Callie's song. It was suppose to be easy. 

My eyes flash open and I sit up almost imedatily but feel a crushing pain in my side with every small movement. I look around and have no idea where I am, I see my mother sitting in the corner of the room crying. 

"Mom?" I had tears coming to my eyes, just seeing her like this.

"Brandon?" She wiped some of the tears from her puffy red cheeks but more just kept coming. "How do you feel?" She asked why pushing the 'call doctor' button. 

"Everything hurts, extremely bad" I slowly move my arm to wrap around my ribs. "How long have I.. uh, been here?" 

"Almost a week, you went into a coma after they put you through a test and found the locations of your bleeding" More tears, I might wanna stop asking questions. 

"Is Callie okay?" It was the only thing that came to my head. 

"Um, for the most part. This has been a huge set off for all of us, but she has Jude by her side now". Mom paced the room uncomfortably until the doctor walk in. 

"Brandon Foster," The doctor started "You gave us all quite the scare," 

"So I've heard". I look to my mom, who was now leaving the room. 

"Yes, so I'm just gonna go over the event to make sure your aware of what's going on. You black out at your own house, where your brothers found you with a purple side. We brought you here and you remain unconsious with thich internal bleeding. The location was not reach able to we put you through plently of test until we found the area. After patching the location, you a woke for less then five hours before falling into a coma". The doctor read for a clip board and slowly made his way to the small table in the corner of the room. 

"Wait, so moving hurts because I haven't moved in six days straight?" I was kinda confused and I didn't remember waking up after any surgery. 

"Correct, you are allowed to move around but it will feel sore. You are also allowed to go home today". The doctor smiled and walked up to my side with a glass of water. "Drink this, your dehydrated".

Once I was released, mom drove me home. I entered the house and walked to the living room where the whole family was watching a movie. As soon as I took a step in the living room, everyone stopped talking and stared to me. Mom had explained that Jude moved in with us as well. 

Callie jumped up from the chair and rushed into my arms, sending a small pain through my body. Everyone quickly followed her lead. Once everyone was done telling me how I worried them so much I entered my bed room. 

I look around and see a huge photo album sitting on the white desk. I walk over and sit at the desk that was once set in our treehouse. 

I open the album to see thousands of pictures of Callie and I growing up side by side. I smiled at the memories and opened the drawer of things I made for or about Callie. I doubted Callie would ever feel the way about me that I feel about her. 

A knock at the door, snapped me back to realty. I turn my head to see Callie standing in the doorway. 

"I forgot to tell you, Tayla, I think her name is, keeps trying to call you". Calle threw my cell phone at me. 

Well shit. I had completely forgot about her and now Callie probably heard it from her instead of me.

"Well, um. Thanks" I say holding up the phone hte smallest bit. Callie walked into my room and sat on my bed, looking to me. 

"It's all my fault" Callie said with tears threating to fall

I stand walking to her side and throwing my arm around her. "It's not even close, I want to protect you even if that includes getting hurt along the way. I'd rather its me then you". 

"I could have done something though, all I did was sit there and watch them beat the shit out of you". I watched Callie cry, blaming it on herself until she fell asleep in my arms. 

I carefully layed her across my bed, when my mom walked in. She looked to Callie and smiled. 

"She slept in here almost every night you were gone". 

"She's beautiful when she sleeps," I wasn't scared to admit it to my mom.

"She really is, reminds me a lot of her mother, you can bunk with Jude tonight" I could tell my mom was happy with them staying with us.

"Alright," I gave my mother a smile before grabbing some of the extra pillows and blankets from my closet. 

Right as she was about to leave my room, my mom turned to face me. "You know you could just tell her how you really feel," And with that my mom turned and left the room. 

I had thought about it plenty of times but I didn't want things to get awkward between us. I needed my best friend and I couldn't just let our friendship disapper. It's hard to find someone you can tell everything to and I was lucky to have a friend like Callie in the first place. 

I sat at the desk again and open the drawer once more. I grab the top notebook and flip to the first clean page, writing yet again another journal entry. 

It's hard to come straight out and tell people how you feel and I don't know why I can't do it. I think about doing it all the time. I play it out into my head. I love Callie but there is no way she can love me back. She's beautiful and caring. She's extremely welcoming. She's perfect and lovely. 

I close the notebook, smiling. Continuing to think about everything Callie is. I grab the pillows and blankets, walking towards the door. 

I flip the light switch and look at Callie peacefully sleeping. I lean over and kiss her temple. 

"I love you Callie Jacob".
