Tough Love-A Brallie Story

He's Back

Callie's Point of View

We have been here for 2 weeks now. It has been great! I am really bonding with Marianna and of course Brandon. But with Brandon I have been starting to feel others things towards him. I am still unsure about them but I know they aren't just typical feelings.

We started school at Anchor Beach and everyday Brandon and I go into the music room at lunch and before and after school. He plays the piano and I play the guitar. I remember when we were little my mom taught us how to play each instrument. She could play anything! She taught Brandon piano until she left us and I am just glad to see that Brandon kept up with it all this time.

"You know your really good B!"

"Thanks. Your mom taught me most of what I know. She got me so into it." He tell me looking down at the keys.

"I'm glad that you stuck with it!" I go over and sit on the bench next to him.

"Yeah, I didn't play the first year you left but when I started again it took all of the worry and pain away, so it just kind of clicked again and I have been playing ever since." He says playing a couple notes. I just look at him and I can see in his eyes some of the pain that he must have felt all this time.

"We should go. Everyone is probably waiting for us to go home." I grab my stuff and head for the door. I look back and he is still sitting there. "You coming?" I ask.

"Yeah. Just got lost for a second." I nod and we walk out front.

As we wait for Jesus to come I see a familiar green jeep drive by. I see a large blond boy with sunglasses look straight at me. I know him anywhere. It's Liam.

My eyes go wide and luckily no one notices. He just drives by and I get a text.

'Hey babe! Miss me?'

That's when I start freaking out!

"Callie are you ok?" Jude asks innocently.

"Yeah. yeah." I try to say calmly. I look at Brandon and he give me a look like 'tell me later'. I nod and Jesus walks up.

"What the hell took so long?" Marianna asks.

"Nothing! can we go?" we nod and starry walking home. I walk next to Brandon with Jesus, Marianna, and Jude in front of us talking.

"You okay Callie?" Brandon whispers in my ear.

"Can I tell you later?" I whisper back

"Yeah. meet me in our spot when we get back." He tells me and we keep walking.

When we get home no one else is here yet so everyone goes their separate ways and I make my way to the backyard and go sit down at our spot. It is just a bench they have that Brandon and I used to go to to talk. I am sitting there for a couple minutes and then I hear him come out.

"Sorry. Jesus needed something from me."

"It's ok." he comes and sits next to me.

"Are you okay?" he asks after a couple moment of silence.

"Not really." I sigh.

"What happened?"

"I saw him." is all I say before I start to tear up.

"Saw who?"

"The guy I told you about the night I came here. His name is Liam. He also sent me this text." I hand him over my phone and as he reads it his face changes. "I'm scared. He is capable of doing some pretty bad stuff!"

"He won't hurt you! I promise. I won't let him do that. Also remember, both of my parents are cops." he says with a slight smile. I laugh a little at it.

"Thanks!"

"For what?"

"For making me laugh when I am terrified and for protecting me and being here for me!" I say looking straight into his eyes.

"I would do it any day!" he smiles and I lean over and hug him.
