Trusting You: The Switched Series book two Read Free Page A

She says it’s better now, but I just thought you should know. I doubt she will tell you any of this, but I wanted to make sure she had someone to take care of her. I’m assuming you will do that,” she says, looking at me.
    “Of course I will take care of her. What are her nightmares about?”
    “I don’t know the specifics, she never talks about them. I assume they are about her parents being killed. You will have to ask her if you want to know more. She doesn’t talk about personal stuff very much. I just wanted to talk to you first and make sure you knew what you were getting yourself into,” she says, getting up and walking toward the door. I am not ready for her to leave. I still need to find out more about Callie.
    “Is there anything else you can tell me about Callie?” I ask, before she opens the door. “I don’t know anything about this girl. I don’t want to do or say anything that will make her run back here,” I say hoping she will stay and tell me more about Callie.
    “I shouldn’t have come here to start with. She would be furious if she found out I was here. In fact, she told me to stay away from you, so it would probably be best if she didn’t find out about this. I just needed to make sure she was okay going with you. If you want to know more about her, you will have to ask her. Just don’t put a lot of pressure on her to like your family. Don’t smother her. She has gone ten years with no one and she is okay with that. Thanks for letting me come by. I really hope she likes it in Tennessee. Please take care of her,” she says, before opening the door and walking out. That was a pleasant surprise. I usually have girls all over themselves trying to talk to me. Maybe she’s not as bad as I thought. I wish I had at least gotten her number. What if I have a question about Callie? I’m never going to be able to sleep now and I have no idea how tomorrow is going to go. One thing is for sure, Callie is a lot braver than I would be. There is no way I would go to another state with a complete stranger, even if they did say I was family. Maybe tomorrow won’t be too bad.
     
     
    This has definitely been one of the longest days of my life. It has been a lot of fun getting to know Callie, but I am exhausted and have no idea where I am going to stay tonight. I don’t really blame Callie for not wanting to stay with my parents tonight, I mean she did just meet them, but I really hate to leave her by herself. Especially after what Leighton told me last night. Leighton. Why can I not get that girl out of my head? She is definitely not my type, but for some reason I can’t stop thinking about her. I better stop though, especially if Callie really told her to stay away from me. I really don’t want to lose her trust.
    I pull into the driveway and get out of the truck to get our luggage out of the backseat.
    “Who is Ash and are you sure he would be okay with me staying here tonight?” Callie asks, standing beside me waiting for her bags.
    “Ash has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. This is actually his place. I just started crashing here and never moved out. He’s like family to us. He lost his family a few years back and we sort of just took him in. He doesn’t really talk about it so I don’t know details. We are pretty much all he has. Anyway, he won’t mind you being here, but I’ll call and tell him everything in the morning. He had to go out of town for a couple of weeks for a case he’s working on.” At least I hope he won’t mind. I should probably call and warn him tonight.
    “Another cop, of course,” Callie says, smiling at me.  “Thank you for letting me stay here. I know they probably wanted me to stay with them, but I am not ready for that. I’m sure when Molly wakes up she wouldn’t be ready for that either.”
    “It’s no problem. We are actually pretty clean around here for two guys,” I say, knowing I spent all day the day I found out about her
