Tough Love-A Brallie Story

Working It Out

Brandon's Point of View

It has been a couple of days since I told Callie and we haven't even seen each other. I just went to school today and Callie wasn't there. It hurts so much! She left me there to just cry. I don't cry, at all, and I have cried every night. Even if she doesn't love me back then I just ruined the best friendship anyone could have or ask for!

"Hey Brandon!" I hear someone say while I am walking down the halls in school. I turn around and see Talya. "Hey." She says when she catches up to me. Oh shit! I forgot about her. "Hey baby!" she starts to lean in but I stop her. "What's wrong?"

"I need to talk to you." I tell her.

"Shoot." she says still happy.

"We need to brake up." I tell her bluntly and her face freezes.

"What?" she asks.

"You heard me."

"What happened? What did I do?"

"You didn't do anything! I just am trying to figure things out and I can't lead on anymore then I have."

"So you like someone else?" she asks and I nod slightly. "Well I hope that turns out great for you!" she says sarcastically and walks off. I know she is wanting me to follow her and stuff but I just turn the other way and walk to my car.

When I get home I see Jude and Callie outside of their house. Callie looks like crap! I pull into the driveway and get out of my car.

"Brandon!" Jude yells and comes up and hugs me.

"Hey." I say putting on a fake smile.

"I haven't seen you in forever!"

"It's just a couple if days. not that long." I try to tell him.

"Well, bye Brandon!" he gives me one last hug and runs back across the street to where Callie is. We look at each other for a second then she turns and walks into her garage. I sigh and walk into my house.

"Hey B! How was school?" My mom asks as I walk into the kitchen.

"It was amazing!" I tell her sarcastically.

"Ok well you better clean up and perk up that mood! we are having the Jacobs over for dinner!"

"What?"

"Yeah. Callie will be there."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Colleen said she would make her come."

"Well I will be in my room." I say and walk towards the stairs.

"Be ready by five!" she yells after me. I get into my room and throw my backpack on the bed. I look over at my keyboard and guitar and realize I haven't played in awhile. I decide to just play for a bit.

Callie's Point of View

My mom told me that we were going to dinner with the Fosters tonight. At first I didn't want to go but my mom talked me into it and I really need to talk to Brandon about what happened. I just hope he is willing to talk.

When we got to the house Marianna answered the door and we all came in. My parents went into the kitchen and Jude went into the living room to find Jesus while Marianna pulled my upstairs and into her room.

"Hello to you too!" I say to her.

"So...." she starts. "What been going on? I haven't seen you at the house in a couple of days! you usually come over everyday!"
