Some How... Brandons P.O.V

Chapter two: The Next Morning

I was starting to fall asleep until I heard the door knob turn and open. I thought it might be moms so I acted like I was sleeping. But then something weird happened. Who ever it was they laid down on my bed and wrapped their arm around me. And then. Wait what's that? Yep that sweet smell of almonds and vanilla. It was Callie. Her scent is so natural. And unforgettable.

I pulled her arm closer to me. And I could feel her smile against my skin. It formed slowly and sweetly. "How'd you know it was me?" She asked I think with sarcasm.

"I recognize your scent." I said smiling with my eyes still closed.

"Eww you know what I smell like? That's a little psychotic of you ask me." She whispered.

"Well everyone has a scent. It's just yours happens to be memorable." I smiled and opened my eyes.

Callie laid her head down on the middle of my stomach/the bottom of my chest. And at that moment my heart stopped. And that's how I knew that Callie was the person I loved the most. It might be weird but I can hear the sweet sound of an orchestra when I with her. Like in the movies. But unlike the movies, this was real life. And life for me wasn't difficult like hers, but everything at that moment felt like if made everything else seem easier than it was. Happiness fled through my body.

The next morning I woke up pretty early. Callie was still sleeping on my chest and her leg was slightly wrapped around mine. I didn't want to wake her up, so I slowly stepped out of bed and wrapped the blanket back around her. She looks adorable when she sleeps. When her head rests on my pillow her face is slightly squished and she cuddles the blanket like it would be me and she curls into a ball like a hamster.

I closed the door so no one saw that she was in there and I walked downstairs. Jesus was already up and Jude, he can sleep through a zombie apocalypse. Mariana walked into the room with her pony tail was messy and her eyes were still half shut. She glared at Jesus like she was ready to beat the living crap out of him. "Come on Mariana. It's been a month. Just let it go. You can't hate him forever. He's your brother." I said trying to break her out of that glare.

"If you had a sister and she dated your best friend behind your back maybe you would understand how pissed off I am." She made a point. But it's been a month she has to knock it off.

Jesus gave me the 'she's being completely ridiculous' look as Mariana sat down. I turned around to make food as I began to here beeping and the clicking of the phones. I turned around to see Mariana and Jesus text fighting. AGAIN. that's the only way they communicated. Someone texted me. Oh god I hope it's Callie. And right then and there my emotion changed. Thalia texted me:

Hey babe;). My parents are out of town tonight. You wanna come over? Maybe we can you know;)

No. I care about Thalia but all she cares about is sex. It's all she wants and I'm not giving it to her. After she gets what she wants, she's bossy and treats you like a sex servant. It's pathetic.

Callie walked into the kitchen. I looked up at her to see her just standing there looking at me. She looks over to Mariana and Jesus. She looked at her phone and then looked at me with a smirk. Then it's official, me as her are going on "date". Right after I break up with Thalia.

She turned to pour herself a cup of coffee. Now all you can here was the pouring of coffee, the beeping and clicking of phones and the awkward silence. It was way too quiet.

Callie sat next to Mariana staring at her phone then rolled her eyes. I think she picked up the signal that Jesus and Mariana are still text fighting. Then, she broke the silence. "Hey maybe we should make moms breakfast in bed. I mean it's their honeymoon and they kind of deserve it."

Complete and utter silence continued to roam in the room. "Yea. Great idea I'm in." I said as silence still creeped. I opened the fridge and grabbed the bacon and eggs. When I turned back around Mariana ran out the door. Callie looked back at me then ran after her.

I was surprised to see both Mariana and Jesus bring the trays up for moms. Maybe this is one step closer to being brother and sister again. It's about time. Now we just need her and Lexi to patch things up.

Callie walked into the bathroom and took a shower. I decided to get dressed and go to Thalia's house. I needed to talk to her before anything worse happens.

When I arrived at Thalia's house, her parents weren't there. Great lets see how this goes. She wrapped her arms around my neck, just like Callie did yesterday, and she pushes me against the wall. We just stood there. "Umm yea I don't think so." I rejected pulling her arms off me.

"Wait. What? I thought that's why you came over." She was so confused. But if was funny to see her like that.

"Actually. I came over because. Umm well. I'm breaking up with you." I straight up told her. It wasn't like at Mariana's birthday. It was difficult as hell. But it was the truth.

"What the hell Brandon. Why? What did I do to you that affected our relationship?" Now she was arguing. And she was yelling.

"It's not working out. I can't deal with it. After we started, you know, you began to get bossy. And treating me like I was your sex servant. And I don't think we should've gotten back together." My eyes looked away from her the whole time. I didn't want to see her reaction because it would probably change my thoughts. And I'm doing this for Callie. And me.

"It's Callie isn't it?" She knew. She knew that I was in love with Callie.

"Wait. What? I'm. I'm not..." She cut me off.

"Save it Brandon I'm not an idiot. I see the way you look at her."

"Ok fine I'm in love with her. But I can't be with her anyways. Foster siblings can't date foster siblings." Well that just came out.

"What ever Brandon get out. I'm done." She pushed me out the door and slam the door in my face.

I texted Callie:

"Hey. I'm going to meet you at the theater. I have to get some stuff for moms. I'll see you later."

After the movie we walked home. In the house moms were making dinner and Mariana and Jesus were talking out the situation. "Where's Jude?" Callie asks. He's usually over Connors house.

"Umm well. Callie Jude's in the hospital. He's fine. He's ok." Stef stated. I looked over to Callie, she looked like she was going to black out or faint. She was in total shock.
