finding out about you, we are all about to lose it. I really think it would help my mom get through this if you would come with me. I know it’s going to be hard on you. I also know it’s going to be even harder on Molly when she wakes up. We can figure it all out though, just please come with me. I don’t want to leave you here. I want you with us. Please.”
I am in shock right now. I want to go. I really do, but I don’t know if I want to be around when this girl wakes up to find someone else taking her place.
“I’m going back to my hotel to give you some time to think,” he says, standing up to walk to the door. “If you want to wait the two weeks, I understand. I hope you don’t, but I do understand. If you want to go back with me, have your bags packed in the morning. I’ll stop by on my way out of town. I really hope when I leave tonight you start packing. I’ll see you in the morning,” he says, opening the door to find someone on the other side.
Leighton is standing on the other side and I don’t think I have ever been so happy to see someone in my life. She is exactly who I need to talk to, she usually gives me really great advice. Maybe she will know what to tell someone who just found out their whole life has been a lie. After all, I have just found out.
“Well hello there handsome. Callie didn’t tell me she had plans tonight,” Leighton says, staring a little too long at Brody. Very few guys get her attention. It looks like one finally has though. I don’t really know why, but I really don’t like it.
“Come in Leighton, he was just leaving,” I say, grabbing her arm and pulling her inside.
Brody just smiles and turns back to me. “I’ll be back in the morning. Please be ready,” he says, before walking outside to his rental car.
Chapter Four
“You have been holding out on me Callie. How could you not tell your best friend about him? I know I have been gone a whole week, but really, he is definitely something you tell your friends about. He is hot. Does he have any brothers?” she asks, turning back from the window she has been staring at him through.
“He actually has two brothers and they are all off limits to you,” I say, watching her face turn into a pout.
“You’re no fun Callie. It’s not like you can have all three of them. I really hope you haven’t gotten into that in the last week while I have been gone,” she says.
“Actually, you have missed a very exciting week. They actually are all mine,” I say, watching her eyes get wider.
“They are all three my brothers,” I tell her watching the surprise on her face. “I’m not trying to be mean. I would just really like to get to know them before you start taking them away from me with all of your charms.”
“They are all yours, I completely understand,” she says, holding her hands up like she is surrendering. “I had no idea you had any family. The only person you ever talk to other than me is Clay. What is going on Callie?”
“Sit down and get comfortable, it’s going to be a long story,” I tell her.
“Should I grab hot chocolate first?” she asks.
“Sure, but this story may need something stronger,” I say, getting comfortable on the couch for the second time tonight. When she comes back with our drinks, I sit back and tell her every detail of the past two days. I even tell her that I don’t want them to know about Clay yet. There is one thing I don’t tell her though. The one thing no one knows. I just hope I don’t mess up somewhere and someone figures it out. It is a family of cops after all.
“This is unbelievable,” Leighton says. “To think you have had this whole other family out there your whole life you had no idea about. You even have a twin brother. How amazing is that?”
“I still don’t know if I should go,” I say, while she is still staring at the picture. I am definitely going to have to keep her away from these boys.
“What do you mean you don’t
