Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by to read my little story. It is my take on Season 1B. I think the show is great, but I thought it would be fun to change things up a little bit. I hope you enjoy.
By the way I don't own the Fosters. If I did I think I would have an infinite amount of cool points!
Episode 11 Chapter 1
The Foster's house had been shaken the day before when Stef and Lena realized Callie had run away. Lena called Wyatt. They had gotten in the car almost immediately after Wyatt called them back.
Stef and Lena had driven all night to get to Callie. They were grateful that Wyatt had called them back. They were both unsure of what they were going to say to her. Stef was mad. Lena was concerned. But most of all they were both confused. None of it made sense. They thought that Callie was happy with them. Why would she run away? If she wasn't happy then they didn't know what they were going to do about the adoption. What did that mean for Jude?
They pulled up to the hotel and both took a deep breath.
"We are finally here." They both jumped as they heard a small voice speak.
Stef turned around to see Jude pop up from the back. "What are you doing here, young man?" Neither woman was expecting to see Jude.
"I overheard your conversation with Wyatt. I thought I could help bring Callie home." Jude smiled. He could tell that Stef and Lena were not happy with him.
"Jude," Lena couldn't seem to find the words to say.
"I'm her brother. If anyone can convince her to come home it is me."
"We will talk about this when we get home, love." Stef told him. "It is not acceptable to sneak out of the house even if you were with us. And it is definitely not okay to ease drop."
"I thought you said we could talk about it tomorrow." Jude said innocently.
"He is turning into Jesus." Stef threw her arms up exasperated. The sleepless night was wearing on her.
"I need to call them. They are probably worried about you." Lena said.
Jude looked down. He didn't want to make eye contact.
"You told them you were coming didn't you?" Lena guessed.
Jude nodded.
"I'm going to kill all of them." Stef got out of the car. She walked to the back of the vehicle and let Jude out. "But first let's bring Callie home."
Jude hopped out of the car.
Lena joined them. "This was not okay Jude."
Jude nodded. "I know. I'm sorry. I just want to make sure Callie knows that I love her."
"She knows that honey." Lena gave him a hug. She wanted to be mad at him, but she couldn't. Jude would always have a way of making her smile. He would always hold a special place in her heart.
After a minute of hugging Jude, Stef and Lena saw Wyatt coming out of the hotel room.
"Stay here for a second Jude." Stef told him as they walked off to catch Wyatt.
Jude could hear Stef ask Wyatt where Callie was. Jude thought about staying put, but if he knew anything about Callie he knew he needed to act fast. He ran up the back stairs. He was met by Callie trying to sneak away.
"Jude," she was surprised to see him.
"Callie, please don't do this." Jude begged. "I'm sorry for saying all of those things. I didn't mean it. I was just scared." That was true. Callie had always been his protector. He felt horrible for yelling at her.
"It was all true. I am selfish. I am doing the only thing that I can do." She fought back tears. "You deserve to be happy."
"I'll only be happy if we are together." Jude shook his head. "We can figure it all out. I need you."
Callie looked at his eyes. They looked so sad.
"Stef and Lena can give us a family Callie. Both of us. That's what I have always wanted. I know that's what you want too."
Callie didn't know what to say. She did want a family, but she had never felt this way about a boy. Brandon was different. He had been her lifesaver.
"Mom would love Stef and Lena. She would be happy that we found them." Jude tried to explain to Callie. "They can give us the happiness that we have always wanted."
"What about Brandon?"
Jude shrugged. "I won't tell anyone what I saw. If you and Brandon can keep it a secret then I can too."
Callie didn't say anything.
"We have been through a lot of bad things together. It is our turn to have good things happen to us…But it will only be right if we are together." Jude told her. "Please…Please come home."
Callie hugged her brother.
"Callie," Lena said as she rounded the corner. There was no way that Callie could run now. It was too late.
"Jude, we told you to stay by the car."
"I had to stop her." Jude told them.
"Callie, are you alright?" Stef asked her.
Callie nodded.
"Well I think we need to talk." Stef informed her.
Callie looked at Wyatt. She should have known that he would call them.
Wyatt felt bad about calling the moms back, but he knew that in the end it was the best thing for Callie. She needed to go home with her family.
Callie walked past Wyatt without speaking. He sighed.
"She will get over it." Stef patted him on the back as she followed Callie into the hotel room.
Jude started to follow behind Stef when Lena grabbed his shoulder and gently pulled him back. "Maybe you should stay out here and let us talk to Callie."
"Okay," he agreed.
"But don't run off." Lena warned him.
Jude smiled.
"We can hangout." Wyatt told him. Jude followed Wyatt down the stairs. They sat down.
"Why did you let her go with you?" Jude asked.
"You don't waste anytime do you?" Wyatt chuckled.
"You should have brought her back home." Jude looked up at Wyatt. "She wasn't thinking when she hitched a ride with you."
"I know that. That's why I called Stef and Lena. I would never hurt Callie." Wyatt had regretted letting Callie ride with him, but he also knew that she was safer with him than on her own. "And at least she is okay now. Hope you can forgive me."
Jude shrugged. "I probably can."
"Good." Wyatt smiled. He hoped everything was going okay for Callie and the moms. He wasn't sure that Callie would ever forgive him.
Upstairs, Callie was sitting on the bed. Stef and Lena were standing across from her. It was silent. Callie wished they would start talking already or at least sit down. They were making her even more nervous.
Stef was trying to calm down inside. She was mad, hurt and felt betrayed. Part of her wanted to strangle Callie and the other part wanted to hug her and never let go.
Lena sighed. "Callie," she felt like it was better for her to start the conversation rather than Stef. She could only imagine what Stef would say. "We…We were worried sick about you."
"What were you thinking? Were you not happy with us? Did something happen? Because honestly none of this makes sense." Stef blurted out.
Lena gave her a disapproving look.
"I'm sorry Lena but it doesn't make sense. I'm not going to sit here and sugarcoat it for anyone."
She grabbed Stef's arm and pulled her away from Callie. "I thought we agreed that we would talk to her calmly and rationally."
"That was before I saw her." Stef replied. "I just want answers."
"I'm sorry." Callie stood up. "I don't know what I was thinking."
Both moms turned their attention back towards Callie.
"All I can do is say that I am sorry."
"That isn't all that you can do." Stef spoke up. She wasn't going to let her off that easily. "You can explain to us your thought process. You can tell us if there was something that we did wrong. Do you not want us to adopt you?"
Callie didn't say anything.
"We thought you were happy with us." Lena told her. She usually could read people so much better than she had read Callie. "You seemed to be adjusting to our family."
"It has nothing to do with the two of you." Callie finally told them. She wanted to tell them the whole truth. She wanted to tell them how she had fallen for Brandon. She wanted them to know about the kiss and what Jude had said to her. But she knew that would ruin everything. They would never be able to forgive her. She knew if she told them the truth they would send her away. She would probably have to live in a group home, and she definitely didn't want that. That was why she had ran away. She thought they were better off without her.
"Well then what is all of this about?" Lena asked. "We want the truth."
"I….um…Wyatt was my only friend at school. With him gone I felt alone. I wanted to get away for a while." Callie bit her bottom lip. Hopefully they wouldn't see right through her. "I didn't really think you guys would notice."
"Of course we would." Stef scoffed. She really was exasperated by this point. "That is the most ridiculous thing that I've ever heard."
They didn't buy it. Callie didn't know what else to say.
"Believe it or not Callie, we love you." Stef wanted her to understand that.
"Asking you and Jude to be a part of our family was one of the happiest moments in our lives." Lena smiled. "But if that isn't what you want then we understand."
"You can't spend your whole life running away, Callie." Stef sat down beside Callie on the bed. "At some point you are going to run out of breath."
"I'm not used to people caring about me." Callie told them. "I thought you guys would be better off just adopting Jude."
"Is that what you want?" Stef asked her.
Callie shook her head. It really wasn't what she wanted. She loved Brandon, but she had always wanted a family for her and Jude.
"We still want to adopt you, Callie." Lena told her. "We feel like our family isn't complete without you and Jude." Lena sat down on the other side of Callie. "You can tell us anything. We are here for you."
Callie nodded. "Did you call my probation officer?"
"Yes," Stef answered. "We are very lucky that they have agreed not to send you back to juvie." Stef told her. "You have two options…You can go back home with us or Bill has found a group home that can take you in."
"If you go back with us things will be different, but we really do hope that is the option you choose."
Callie sighed. A group home was not an option. "I want to go home with you guys."
"Are you sure?" Stef questioned her.
Callie nodded. "Yeah…I was…I was stupid to think I could run away with Wyatt."
"You think?" Stef raised her eyebrow while Lena reached around Callie to pop her on the back.
"I think you are making a good choice." Lena was the first to hug her. "We will figure all of this out together."
"You don't have to do any of this on your own. We are here for you." Stef joined in on the hug. "Grab your stuff and let's go home."
A few minutes later, Callie and the moms walked outside and joined Wyatt and Jude.
"Thanks Wyatt," Stef told him as she passed. "You drive carefully."
"I will. Thanks." Wyatt looked at Callie.
"Can we have a minute?" Callie asked.
"A minute," Lena warned her.
"We will be right over there. So no funny business." Stef grabbed Jude and all three of them walked to the car.
"Don't hate me." Wyatt started. "I only did what I thought was best for you."
"I know. You did the right thing" Callie could barely make eye contact with him. "Have a safe trip."
"Please don't be mad at me."
"I'm not mad." Callie hugged him. "I know I'll thank you one day."
"Yeah…I'm only a phone call away."
"Yeah…Well I should go." Callie pointed towards the moms and Jude and started to walk away.
"Goodbye Callie." Wyatt shouted as she made her way to the car.
She knew that the situation wasn't over. She and Jude had agreed to keep the secret, but Brandon was another story. She hoped that he would keep the kiss a secret. It was the only way that she and Jude could have the family they always wanted.
Should I continue? Let me know what ya'll thought!
