Chapter 7 One Big Happy Family. Yeah Right!

Callies pov

When I got downstairs I noticed all the guys sitting around the dining roomtable. I raised one eyebrow walked over to the table grabbed my plate and headed to the living room. "Um... Callie?" "What?" I turned to see all the guys staring at me. "Why aren't you eating at the table?" they asked. "We never do, that's just there so if people come over they think we eat together like one big happy family," I said the end part sarcastically.  "Oh," they said getting up and following me into the living room. "Callie," Stephen said. "Yeah," I sighed knowing what was coming next. "Why aren't you with your family in Europe," Vincent asked. "They were looking at boarding schools for my little sister, and my mom told me I was to stupid for boarding school," I said casually. They all looked up with a shocked expression on there faces. "Your mom really said that." "Yeah but if you think that that is the worst thing that my moms said to me then your sadly mistaken." "In the picture on the mantle who is the third girl?" Daniel asked. "That's my little sister, she died that's why my mom hates me," I said. I got up my uneatten food in hand. "Just leave the stuff in the sink I'll get it tomorrow," I said leaving the room. I left my plate in the sink and went upstairs to my room. I put on a pair of short shorts and a tank top and went you to my balcony. It was cold outside even for being June in upstate New York. I just sat there watching my breath puff like little clouds. I heard a noise and turned to see Vincent closing the door with his hip. He had two plates and a glass of milk in his hands. He sat the stuff on the cement in front of me. "Eat," he said handing me one of the plates, "you have to be hungry because you didn't eat dinner and none of us ate lunch." He watched me untill I started to eat the lasagna on the plate. We sat in silence until I was finished. I raised my eyebrows in confusion staring at the second plate in Vicent's lap. He saw me watching him and handed over the other plate. I just stared at the huge slice of chocolate cake. "How'd you know I liked chocolate?" I asked. "I just did." He sat there watching me making sure I ate everything on both plates and finished the milk. He moved the plates and glass so he could sit beside me. "So," he said," beautiful night." I looked up at the stars, "yeah it is but I know what you want to ask me so just ask me," I told him. He turned to me. "What happened?" he asked quietly. I hesitated looking up at the stars again. "Listen you don't have to tell me if you don't want to I know we just met this morning," he said. "No...um it was five years ago I was eleven Lena was four, I was playing basketball and my mom was on the phone watching Lena swimming. She went inside to take another call." I slowed down. "Then I heard my mom screaming I ran over to the pool my mom was all wet holfing Lena in her arms she called the ambulence, Lena lips were so blue," I said, the image coming into my mind and I almost stopped until I looked up and saw Vincent watching me so closly like he was expecting me to stop but now that I started I wanted to tell someone, anyone I continued with tears running down my face I said "Lena d-drowned mom said it was my fault she said I knew she went inside, that I should of went and watched Lena. I d-didn't it's all m-my f-fault." I finished with a sob tearing streaming down my face. Vincent pulled me into his arms and let me cry telling me over and over that it wasn't my fault. I don't know how long we sat there, but finally I stopped crying, ready to fall asleep from crying so much. I stood up. "sorry," I mumbled to Vincent. I walked back into my room. I heard Vincent sigh outside from inside. He came in a minute later with the plates and glass and left. He came back a little while later walked over to the dresser and left againwith the lights shut off I couldn't tell what he grabbed but I figured it was pajamas. He laid down in his bed I heard the russling of sheets, heard Vincent say goodnight, I said goodnight back and fell asleep.
