Tough Love-A Brallie Story

Barely Breathing

Brandon's Point of View

What just happened? I left her for 30 minutes happier the then ever, then she comes back and breaks up with we. She didn't even give me a reason! She just got up and ran home. I couldn't even move! I was frozen right there trying to process what just happened.

After standing there I got it through my head and started crying. I don't know what to do! She is my life! I just start breaking down on the sidewalk. I am only a couple house down from mine so I just walk home. My eyes are getting really blurry with tears and I can't see very well. I make it to my house and walk inside.

"Hey!" Jesus says when I get inside. I look over and everyone is the living room watching a movie like they always do.

"Hey are you ok?" Marianna asks standing up and coming towards me. I just stand there like a zombie with tear uncontrollably falling down my face. "Brandon?" Mari asks again. There I break down again and fall into her arms. She wraps her arms around me as I cry. I hear everyone standing up and coming towards us. "Where's Callie?" Marianna whispers in my ear.

"Her house." I choke out.

"Marianna can you take him to his room?" Lena asks her.

"Yeah." I follow Marianna up to my room and I lay down on my bed and burry my head in my pillows. "Brandon what happened? Did something happen between you and Callie?" she asks me worried.

"She broke up with me." I tell her thinking back to when it happened.

"What?"

"We went for a walk and she said we needed to break up and she said sorry then left." I explain. I just stare at the wall in front if me. I feel like I just had my heart ripped out of my chest and it was shot and stomped on and put back into my chest to try to survive.

"I am going to go talk to Callie." Marianna tells me and gets up and starts for the door.

"Tell me of she is okay." I ask her and she nods and walks out.

I sit there by myself crying and feeling like crap! I don't move from my spot, I just stare at the wall all night.

The next day I just stay in my room. I didn't get anymore than 1 hour of sleep last night but I am not tired. Moms tried to come give me food but I am not hungry. Marianna told me that Callie was okay, but I don't believe her! I am still trying to think of a way to get her back.

I hear a knock on my door and see Max and JJ walk into my room. Those two are my best friends! They know pretty much everything about my life.

"Hey B!" Max says sitting down in the chair at my desk.

"How's it going?" JJ asks standing in front of me.

"Well, I am just dying inside because my girlfriend just broke up with me, but otherwise I am just peachy!" I say sarcastically with no emotion.

"You sound like a zombie Brandon." Max points out.

"It was just a girl! You will get over her!" JJ tells me and Max smacks his head. "What!" Max whispers something in his ear and he 'ohh's. They both look at me.

"We should practice for our audition tomorrow!" Max suggest. "Have you finished the song?"

"No." I answer quietly. I don't feel like playing right now but I can't let them down!

"Great! well now we need to figure out a song to preform."

"I will figure one out." I tell them and walk to my piano. I have a lot of feeling a right now so hopefully I will be able to write one. It will be one with everything I am feeling right now but it will hopefully get us the job.

I start playing keys and writing lyric to go with it. Max and JJ just say around watching me for hours figuring out the song.

After hours, and I mean all day, the song is finished. It is about 10pm so they both leave. A couple minute after they leave Jude walks into my room.

"Hey Brandon."

"Hey Jude. How's Callie?" I ask with worry.

"She isn't good. She tries to be brave and strong but I know she is hurting! She didn't want to break up with you. I think someone is making her do this."

"What do you mean?" I ask him.

"She gets these packages and text messages every once in awhile and after she read it or whatever she is all shaken up and looks worried. She is also really jumpy. If her back is turned to you and you walk in the room she jumps if she hears you coming."

"When did she start getting the messages?"

"Last night after she came back, I think. She got a package then went and broke up with you." What Jude is saying make sense! "Should we tell your mom and dad?"

"Maybe. But I need you to make sure you keep an eye on her and make sure nothings happens. Can you do that?"

"Yes." he says and I pull him into a hug. "I will update you on how she is."

"Ok. I will try to make things alright with us before something really bad happens!" I tell him and he nods and walk back downstairs. Now I am really worried about Callie! I need to make sure she is okay!
