Most of my chapters will be longer so don't worry. Review if you think I should continue :D
Chapter 1
Callie:
Today started off as a really great day. Everyone was happy, including Jude and I, which doesn't happen very often. The wedding was today, and we were also told we were going to finally become part of the family! But just like everything else in my life, I messed it all up. Jude and I have been a package deal since our mothers death. Every single one of my decisions, good or bad, affect him. After kissing Brandon, I can't ruin Judes chance of getting adopted.
I wait until I hear Mariana's soft snores from the other side of the room, then slide my feet over the side of the bed. I reach under the bed and my fingertips brush a rough fabric. I slide my blue duffel bag out in front of me. I pick up the bag and walk over to the dresser I share with Mariana. I open the drawer that holds my belongings and start shoving clothes into the bag. I get up and sling the bag over my shoulder. I whisper goodbye to Mariana and head into the hallway. I walk over to Stef and Lena's and Jesus and Jude's rooms and do the same. I finish with Brandon's room but I stand in the doorway staring as I begin to think of how much I will miss all of them. I finally found Jude a soft place to land, and that's all that matters.
Stef:
Ever since Brandon was a baby, I've become a light sleeper. Brandon used to scream at all hours of the night and I guess my brain adjusted. I'm awoken at around 2 a.m. by light footsteps. It's probably one of the kids going to the bathroom. I close my eyes to go back to sleep, then I hear more. I get up from my spot next to Lena and walk quietly to the door. Callie is in the hallway with her duffel bag on her shoulder. Is she running away? Callie creeps down the stairs and I follow slightly far behind her. She walks towards the door and I decide to speak up, "Callie?" I see her jump a little and she turns around. There are tears streaming down her face. "Stef?"
