Brandon and Callie walked in the house.Brandon turned the light on

"It still looks the same"Callie said as she wrapped her arms around herself"I know its crazy but I think things should be different because of what happened"

"I know I'm gonna miss him too"Brandon said

"It will never be the same again"she turned to looked at him

"Its gonna take a while ,its gonna take a while for the pain to go away Cal "

"I know"her voice cracked

"Can I get you anything,you hungry,thirsty"

"No I'm fine thank you"Callie sat on the couch

Brandon sat on the coffee table across from her and held her hands,then kissed them"You wanna talk or would you rather be alone"

"Honestly Brandon I don't know what I want right now"

He got up and sat next to her and held her"Come here,come here"

A few hours later Brandon answered the door

"Hey Robert"he greeted him

"How is she"Robert asked

"Not good""Callie your Dad is here"he holler to her

A few seconds later Callie walked out

"Hey"she said

"Hey Baby ,were you sleeping"

"No,I was just laying on my bed thinking about Jude"she told him

"I'm going to go call some people I'll be in my room if you need anything"Brandon said giving them some time alone

"Come here"Robert said as he walked over to her to and gave her a hug

"I just can't believe he is gone"she said to him

"I know how much you loved you brother"he said

"Why did he have to die,why Dad"

"It was his time Baby"he he said knowing that wouldn't help her as much

"Its not fair the last part of his life he was in a coma and the last time I saw him was when I gave birth to Layla"

"I know but he lived his life and he loved his niece because she is like you so it gave him some comfort but he loved you, you were his world"

"I just wish I could have help myself without having to leave him"

"Callie, he knew how much you loved him even when you weren't with us"

She gave him a small smile"Its crazy how life works I lose a brother but I still have a sister"

"You been through a lot these past few years and I know I'm partly to blame"

"If Sophia didn't do what she did then my life would be so different"

Robert nodded

"When I'm ready I would like to see my sister again"

"She will love that"he hugged her"You'll get through this"

"I know,I love you"she said as she hugged him tighter

"I love you my baby"he kissed her cheek

After Robert left Brandon found Callie sitting on the couch

"Is Layla ok"she asked

"Huh"he said confused

"I know you called Jill,Robert said she was fine her and Sophia are having a sleepover right?"

"I needed to hear her voice"he told her

"I do too,but I don't want her to hear mine like this"she said crying

"I wish I can take the pain away for you"he sat down and whipped her tears away

I know but you can't,its not just me who lost someone tonight,you lost a brother too"

"True but I want to be strong for you"

"I wanna be strong for you too"

"I can try to take the pain away a little or at least try"

She caressed his cheeks "Thank you"she whispered

"What can I do to make you smile"he rubbed her arms"Don't make me tickle you,cause you know I will"

"No you wouldn't"she gave him a small smile

"There's that smile"he smile back at her

They looked lovingly in each other eyes,Callie leaned over and kissed him .He then deepened the kiss,then laid on top of her on the couch

"Brandon"she said out of breath

"Hey,your safe with me ok we don't have to do anything you don't want to"

"I need to"she said

"Are you sure"he looked at her

She rubbed his arms"Please"she looked at him

He began to kiss her again,he unbuttoned her shirt.She unbuttoned his then pulled it off him

"I love you Brandon"

"I love you too"he kissed her and then they made love

The next morning Callie was looking out the window letting the sun hit her face.Brandon walked out

"Did you sleep ok"He asked as he wrapped his arms around her

"As good as I could"she lean into him

"Its ok to shut down,you been through a lot with your brother, your due for a meltdown"

"The way I see it I had meltdown for the past seven years so now I need to be strong for the rest of the family"

"Ok"he kissed her head

"What does this mean for us"she turned around

He cupped her face"We'll talk about when things settle down,Ok"he told her

Callie just nodded
