Free Trusting You: The Switched Series book two by Brittany Bromley

completely understood this relationship, but I thought maybe he might know what Callie will do.
    “Clayton,” he answers on the first ring.
    “Hey Clay, it’s Leighton. Have you talked to Callie today?”
    “No, is everything okay?” he asks.
    “I don’t know. We were all at Bo and Cindy’s tonight and well it got kind of heated between Callie and Molly. Long story short, apparently they both knew they were with the wrong family for a while now. Callie got upset and left. Ash went with her, but I am worried. What do you think she will do?”
    “Why did Ash go with her?” he asks, in a strange tone. That’s what he got out of that conversation?
    “I guess he was the only one not family,” I say, not knowing if this Ash thing should be kept from him or not. Wow, my life has gotten complicated.
    “You’re not family, you’re her best friend,” he says.
    “I know. It’s complicated. I am really worried and thought you might know something,” I say hoping he will get off the Ash subject.
    “I am actually in town, I’ll try to figure out what’s going on,” he says, before hanging up. I go back into the living room to watch another movie with Brody. I should probably call Callie or go check on her, but if this is my last night here, there’s no other place I would rather be. I can always go check on her after the movie.
    I can’t remember the last time I slept so well. I slowly start to sit up when I realize I am sleeping on a couch with Brody for the second night in a row. I can’t believe I didn’t go back to the hotel. Callie has probably been there by herself all night.
                  “Brody, wake up,” I say, trying to wake him.
    “What? Is the movie already over?” he asks, still sounding sleepy.
    “Yes, it’s morning. I need to go find Callie. I can’t believe I fell asleep. I hope she hasn’t been there all night waiting for me. How am I going to explain this one? She told me to stay away from you,” I say, trying to figure out what’s going on. I really hate sleeping in my clothes. Now I just feel yucky and gross.
    “We need to go, now,” I say.
    “Okay, just give me a minute,” he says, standing up to stretch. He grabs my keys off of the table by the door. “Let’s go. I hope she hasn’t been by herself all night. I’ll call Ash and check to see how she was last night. You can drive,” he says, handing me the keys.
    “He’s not answering. I don’t know if that’s good or bad,” Brody says, dialing another number. “Callie’s not answering either. Maybe they are still asleep,” he says.
    “I am the worst friend ever. I can’t believe I wasn’t there for her on one of the worst days of her life,” I say pulling into the hotel. “I don’t see her car. Maybe she stayed with Ash,” I say, getting out to head inside the hotel. I open the door and look around. “Oh no,” I say not believing what I am seeing.
    “What?” Brody asks.
    “Her luggage is gone. I think she’s gone,” I say, knowing he is not going to be happy about this.
    “Come on, maybe Ash knows where she is,” he says, pulling me back outside with him. “She wouldn’t leave without telling us, would she?” he asks, sounding worried.
    “I don’t know. I have learned a lot about her I didn’t know in the past couple of days,” I say, sounding bitter I know. We have been best friends for ten years now and she never trusted me enough to tell me this. I’m not sure how well I know this girl after all. Brody’s phone starts ringing as soon as we get into the car.
    “Hello,” he answers. “I’m not sure. We were giving her some space last night and now her luggage is gone. I’m headed to Ash’s now to see if she is there or if he knows where she is. Umm, she said she was asleep. I guess Callie was really quiet,” he says, looking at me with huge eyes. “Okay, see you in a few minutes.
    “Who was that?” I ask, trying to figure out what he was talking about.
    “My mom,
