The Fosters Fanfiction
[Callie has a sister named Aria instead of Jude. This takes place in the middle of season 2 but it was Aria who couldn't get adopted. Not Callie.]
"Aria are you alright?" Steff asked me at dinner that night. I haven't touched my food. I just wasn't hungry. I could feel my depression coming back. Callie of course knew about the depression, but didn't know about the scratch marks on my sides that I have been doing since she went to Juvie.
"Yea, Im fine. Why wouldn't I be?" I responded defensively
"I was just asking." Steff responded.
"Sorry" I said apologizing.
"Whats everyones plan for the weekend?" Lena asked. Giving me a 'we will talk later' look.
"Skateboarding" Jesus said.
"Taking Callie shopping" Mariana said as Callie nodded in agreement.
"Band practise" Brandon said.
"Sleeping" I said. "And working on sketches for a resin piece that I am making in Jewelry" I added.
A half an hour later, dinner was finished and I was in the room that I share with Callie. Jesus and Brandon shared a room, and Mariana got her own room.
"May we come in?" Steff asked.
"Sure" Callie responded. We were just talking about what she is looking for on her shopping trip before Steff interrupted us.
"Callie, do you think that mama and I could talk to Aria for a bit alone?" Steff asked.
"Sure mom" Callie responded picking up her school books and leaving. After the adoption calie started calling Steff and Lena mom and mama.
"Whats up?" I ask as I put my phone face down on my bed.
"We just want to see how you are dealing with everything" Lena said as she and Stef said on either side of me.
"Im dealing with everything just fine" I responded.
"Thats not how it looked at dinner!" Stef said to me. "You didn't eat anything, and you know one of the rules in this house is that you must eat something at every meal" She added.
"I know. I just wasn't hungry, nor did I feel like eating" I responded truthfully.
"Still, you should have at least something" Lena said.
"It's fine if I skip one meal, I mean I have gone like a day and a half without eating before and I was fine!" I said trying to make the see that me skipping one meal is really not that big of a deal.
"What did Callie say?" Stef asked.
"It was when Callie was in Juvie so nothing" I responded.
"That is really not good for your body, you know that, yes?" Stef said to me.
"Yeah, I know!" I responded. "No offence but I would really like to be alone right now" I said as I started untangling my earbuds
"Alright" Stef said. "Are you sure that you are alright?" she asked.
"Yeah, Im fine" I responded putting in my earbuds and blaring Fall Out Boy.
"We will be back to check in on you" Lena said removing one of my earbuds as she kissed my forehead.
"Whatever" I responded to myself because I know that they would not be happy if I was rude to them.
In all honesty all I wanted to do was be alone but they must of told Callie that they thought that something was off with me because she came right in and crawled onto my bed with me rubbing my back in a comforting manner.
"I'm sorry that you couldn't get adopted" Callie said to me.
"You deserve it more than I do" I said.
"What makes you say that?" Callie asked sitting up.
"You have done everything that you could to make sure that I didn't get hurt in any of the foster homes and made sure that I had a good life. You deserve something like this. And Stef and Lena are doing everything that they can to track down my birth father so I can get adopted." I said.
"Still you deserve this just as much as I do" Callie responded.
"I'm tired, I'm gonna go to bed" I said not wanting to talk anymore.
"Alright" Callie said to me as she tucked me in and kissed me goodnight. "Sweet Dreams!" She added before leaving.
As Soon as Callie left I opened a new note on my phone and started typing.
I never tried to understand the world, and why some people are happy and some people arnt. I just always assumed that the people who deserved to be happy where and the people who didn't deserve it weren't. But my stay at the Fosters has changed my view on that. They have taught me that happiness is something that every person deserves. Not the selected few.
After I finished typing I shut off my phone and went to bed, not knowing what the next day would have in store for me. Thats the thing about life, you never know what is coming up. You just have to live in the moment.
I know, I know I shouldn't be starting a new story, but I had this one written for some time now, and I have some energy to write, and I feel like I need to do a story where I can explore the characters more and with family drama and stuff like that. I am currently working on a new chapter for Brooke's Daughter but I really don't know when I will have the time to write again because my christmas break is really busy between swim practice and seeing my family. I will try and update it soon. I make no promises though. But my mood has been been up lately so that is always a good sign in terms of me writing. If you have any question for me about my stories or anything really then feel free to pm me and I will get back to you as soon as I see the pm.
