Tough Love-A Brallie Story

Fights at Christmas

Chapter 45 

Brandon’s Point of View

Yesterday, I was on a radio show and I was letting them play our new song. I wrote it about Callie. After everything that happened with, I just had to get it out. It is almost Christmas so I decided to go to San Diego to see the family. I haven’t been to any other holidays because Callie is typically with them, or I am busy, or I just can’t go back to where Callie and I were together. Even after a year, it still hurts like crazy! I still love her…I know I always will.

“Brandon!” I knock out of my thinking and look up and JJ waving his hand in my face.

“What?” I ask him.

“We have been calling you for the past 5 minutes. Dude! Are you okay?” JJ asks.

“I am fine! I was just thinking.”

“Okay well can you think some other time? Someone is at the door for you.”

“And we are leaving!” Max adds in. I walk over to the front door and see her standing there, on my door step. “Okay bye!” Max says and him and JJ leave the house.

“Hi Brandon. Can we talk?” she asks softly and I remember back when she ended stuff a year ago.

“Yeah.” I move over and she walks into the house. I shut the door and go over and sit in a chair. Callie comes over and sits on the couch next to my chair. “What do you want to talk about?” 

“Us…I miss you Brandon!”

“What about your little boyfriend?”

“We aren’t really anything! Brandon, I thought it was the right thing to break it off, but I realized that I need to be with you!”

“No. No! Callie you can’t do that!” I raise my voice as I start to get angry.

“What?”

“You can’t just break up with me then leave for a year and not talk to me, then come back and want to get back together! This past year was hell for me! You put me through so much pain! My heart shatter into a million pieces when you left!” I yell at her. I see she has tears falling down her face. “You can’t do that to me.” I whisper.

“What happened to ‘I will be waiting for you’? Did you just throw that away?” she yells back.

“It went away when I didn’t see or hear from you in a year! Callie, I can’t wait forever and watch you be in a relationship with someone else! I don't need that pain!” I see her realize I am right. “You should probably go.” she nods her head and walks for the door. I follow behind her and open the door. Just before she is about to go through the door she turns around and look at me with those big brown eyes.

“I am so sorry for all the pain I put you through.” then she turns and walks away.

“Me too.” I mumble as I watch her get in her car and drive away.

1 week later

  Today is the day that I am driving down to San Diego for Christmas. When she came by the house last week and wanted to get back together, I was so angry that she left and then came back and expected to get back together that I didn’t realize how much I needed her and how happy she mad me. I am pretty sure I went into depression when she left me. I wanted to go down and show her that I loved her, but I kept stopping myself. I kept telling myself that it wasn’t a good idea because she hurt me to badly, so I never went.
