26So this might never happen again. The fact that I updated twice on the same day, I mean... Anyway, this idea is stuck in my head, and it won't leave me alone.
Liam started climbing the stairs. Callie tried to avoid him, but the stairway was only so wide.
"So, you miss me?" She pushed past him and tried to leave, but he grabbed her arm. "Hey, I want to talk to you."
"Let me go." She said looking down.
"Come on, babe-"
"I said let me go!" she said through gritted teeth. He smirked.
Brandon had time for one more practise before the audition. He's wanted to have this guy as a piano teacher for so long, and knowing his luck, he might have to wait even longer. But he's going to try anyway.
"Brandon," Lena began. "It's time to start heading out." He nodded in response and got up. He put his hands in his pockets as he walked down the stairs.
"Are Callie and Mariana back yet?" he asked as he reached the bottom steps.
"Uh... No, not yet." Lena said. Brandon had to admit, his mood dropped a little bit when she said Callie wouldn't be there.
"Callie isn't going?" Jude asked as he and Jesus came down he stairs. Brandon looked at the kid and shook his head.
"She's still at that party with Mariana and Wyatt." It took every ounce of self-control to keep himself from spitting the name of Callie's boyfriend. Brandon felt like the only one who knew Wyatt was only trying to get on the family's good side. And that enraged him.
A hand waved in front of his face, causing him to crash back into reality. "Earth to Brandon, Earth to Brandon," Jesus' voice rang out in his mind.
"Hmm?" He looked down at Jesus.
"Let's go." Stef said reaching for the door.
"Stay away from me!" Callie all but screamed at Liam, but he kept his slow advance on her. "I said leave me alone!" She was so close to punching this guy in the face when Mariana saw her scream.
"Callie! What's going on? Who is he?"
"Who's you're friend Callie?" he asked.
"No, really, leave me the hell alone and mind your own damn bussiness." She turned, grabbed Mariana's arm and tried to run for the door.
"You're not leaving that easily Callie." He ran in front of her and blocked her path. She went left, he went left. She went right, he went right. She couldn't loose him. Not this time.
Brandon was backstage. He was breathing deeply, neverous being the understatment of the century.
You'll do fine. He told himself over and over again. The stage director old him he goes next. In... Out... In... Out... That's what had been replaying in his head for about an hour now.
Then he felt a vibration from his back left pocket. He pulled out his phone and looked at the name. Mariana. He didn't answer. Not the first time anyway. She called three more times, and the forth time he finally picked up.
"What?!" he asked a little more irritated than intended. He mentally winced.
"Some dude won't leave Callie alone, and he won't let either of us leave." It hit him likea brick wall.
"What?!" was his genius reply. "But... Why are you calling me? Why not get Wyatt? I mean, it's his party, right?"
"I can't find him. But we really need someone's help!" she said.
"But I'm on in a minute!"
"Look, I know you care about this piano thing, but I thought Callie and I were a little bit more important-"
"I said go away!" Callie's voice screamed near the phone.
"I gotta go." Mariana said quickly and hung up. Brandon held his phone in front of him fro a moment, before he put in his pocket and walked up to the stage director.
The whole time I wrote this, I was listening to 'When I was Your Man' by Bruno Mars. It kind of reminds me of Brallie, if I'll be honest with myself... Please review, favorite, and follow!
