Tough Love-A Brallie Story

Safe House

Callie's Point of View

       We just told Stef about the threats. She wasn't showing much emotion but I know that she will make everything work out and she will get Liam and Donald behind bars for a long time for this. She was making arrangements for safe houses for everyone. We were going to be checking Brandon out in a couple of hours so we could go to where we are staying. She won't tell us where we are going just so we don't have the information to give out. No body knows about it except Brandon, Mike, and Stef. They told us that it was better if we kept it that way so everyone wouldn't be scared. 

Brandon and I are still keeping us on the down low until it resolves. I don't think Stef notices us being closer again because she has more important things on her mind.

"Hey Cal?" Brandon asks breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I go over and sit on his bed next to him because no one else is in here.

"How are you?"

"Scared." I wanted to tell him i was fine but he can read me like a book so there is no point in lying to him.

"I am too. I don't want anyone to get hurt, especially you. You have to promise me that you will show me if you get another note and we will figure something out." I know he is serious and truely worried and scared for me.

"I promise." 

Just then my phone beep signaling that I have a text.

'Oops! Sorry for hitting him! You were getting to close to him again!'  I read. 

"Who is it?" B asks and i just hand him my phone. While he is reading it i start tearing up. Brandon got hit because of me! I got to close and they almost killed him! 

"Hey, you know that me getting in the accident wasn't your fault! We went over this." he say pulling me to his chest.

"Are you sure? Did you read the text?"

"That doesn't mean anything! It is just as much my fault as it is yours! I was trying to get closer to you and you were trying to protect everyone. You did nothing wrong." he always has a way with words. He knows exactly what to say to me at the right time to cheer me up or calm me down.

"I love you Brandon. So much!"

"I love you too Callie, more than you will ever know!" he smiles and leans in and kisses me softly.

------------------

We finally got B out of the hospital and are now headed to the safe houses. We are in one car so it is pretty packed. Jude, Brandon and I are in the back seats, with Marianna, Jesus, and Lena in front of us and Stef driving and Mom in the passenger seat. Everyone in the car is asleep except Stef, of course, and me. 

My eyes start getting really heavy so I rest me head on Brandon's shoulder and soon fall asleep.

Stef's Point of View

I am really worried about Donald and Liam coming and hurting someone again! I am still in shock that Donald is apart of this! I knew we always had problems with him drinking in the past but it never got farther then him and Colleen getting into fights and her taking the kids to our house and staying for a bit, but then they would always make up the next day. I have never seen him hit her and just be terrible. I don't really know what is wrong with him!
