Hello guys, so first off I just want to give you all a heads up that I am a newbie here, and I never wrote stories or anything before. I would really appreciate it if all of you would help me improve that by leaving me some good reviews to make myself better in ways. I'm going to write about The Fosters and it will mainly focus on Callie and her moms. I will start from scratch, the day she met the Fosters till I want to stop I guess. It's not going to write the same exact thing that happened in the fosters there will be some different details and I will add up some stuff that didn't happen. "It's not a Braille story".
PLEEEEEEEASSSEEE IF YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE LEAVE UP SOME REVIEWS. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND HAVE FUN !
- CHAPTER ONE
Callie's POV
We were all walking to our bunks until 4 girls approached me and started beating the hell out of me. It hurt so much that after a while I couldn't feel my body from how numb it was. I tried resisting them at the beginning but I knew there was no point of doing this because they are 4 and I'm one. No one tried to stop them until one guard came and stopped them. Bill my social worker was here by now. He figured that he has to take me out to a foster house temporary until he can find me a permanent one. Im bored of not being in a place for more than 5 months, I'm always moving from place to another and my life is so unstable. I would really love to live like a normal teenage girl but that's not me. I have to be hurt all the time and I should be an unstable girl because i'm unlucky. I was scared where would Bill take me again, I have been into so many bad foster homes and all of that, I got used to it already but i'm tired I just wish that someone would beat me up until I die and then I might go to heaven because I was treated so unfair in my trip to this world. I just didn't want Bill taking me some where I will be terrified and scared in. I wanted to cry, my face had bruises and wounds but I knew that I have to stay strong, because I am always strong and i'm always the good girl that could handle everything that comes in her way no matter what it was. That's what people think because thats what I show. Bill came with a women by his side. I knew that when she looked at me she was terrified and would change her mind directaly, it didn't matter to me anyways because it's not like their house would be any better. I would probably be bullied and with no food or anything.
Lena's POV
Bill called me he told me about this young lady that had to be fostered until she find a permanent home, Bill is our family friend and I wanted to say no but I couldn't because I don't want him to be looking for people everywhere, so I asked him If I can see the young lady. Bill took me to her and when I first saw her to be honest I was scared because her face had wounds and I knew she was trouble. But as soon as she spoke I heard her tiny voice I knew she is in the wrong crowd. So I decided that I'm going to take her with me but what about Stef I haven't told her I tried calling her but she didn't answer.
" Who are you ?" said Callie
" Hi, I'm Lena and I'm going to be fostering you until you find a permanent house young lady do you mind ?"
" Well it's not like I have a choice I have to" Callie said
" What's your name? " I asked her
" Callie" she said
" You have a beautiful name Callie. Are you ready to go home with me ?" I asked her. She looked at me and nodded but I knew she was not very pleased with what's happening with her. The car ride was so quiet, neither of us said anything. When we went inside the house I led Callie to the living room where Mariana, Jesus, and Brandon was sitting and introduced them to Callie.
" Hey guys! This is Callie." I pointed out to my kids " This is Mariana, Jesus, and Brandon. Jesus and Mariana are twins by the way, we adopted them when they were 8 and Brandon is my partner's biological son "
"Nice to meet you" said all of my kids, I knew they were shocked by what they are seeing but they couldn't say anything because Callie was here.
" Who's this" said Jesus
" She's gonna be living with us for a while so she's your foster sister temporary," I said. Jesus raised his eyebrows in shock and nodded.
"Cool, Welcome to the family foster sister." he said. Mariana giggled but stopped after she saw the serious look on my face.
" I'm gonna go make dinner who's helping me today, " I said. No one answered me for about a minute but then Callie said
" I can help you "
" Okay sure come with me, " I told her with assured looks.
Callie's POV
The car ride to the Fosters house was so quite I thought Lena was going to say something but she didn't. When we arrived at the house it looked so nice and it was so warm, I liked it instantly but I was scared that they are going to treat me bad and beat me up like every foster house I was in. I was welcomed by Lena's kids, they seemed nice until Jesus spoke up and I thought that he will be bullying me all the time. I thought that Mariana will be assisting him too. I didn't want to sit with anyone I just wanted to sleep and be out of here. Finally, Lena asked if someone could help her with dinner and I was like this is my chance I'll go help her instead of sitting with those two idiot twins. I went to the kitchen with Lena, It was very awkward. She asked me if I could chop some onions which I did.
" What are you making for dinner" I asked
" Lasagna, Do you like it ? " she asked
" Yeah, I guess. " I told her. I stared at Lena while she put the Lasagna in the oven and set up the table. I was wandering in my own thoughts. The Fosters looked so happy and I knew that it was their masks they are putting on like every other foster house I have been. I was wondering when will I see their real faces. I won't be shocked when I do anyway. I was interrupted by Lena's voice.
" Come on kids dinner is ready!" Lena said I jumped from my place because her voice scared me since I was wandering. She knew that her voice scared me so she instantly apologized. Everyone on the table was so loud and talking about how their day went and what happened in school. Until an unfamiliar face was standing beside Lena.
Stef's POV
It was a very long day at work and I couldn't believe when I could get home so I can sleep and cuddle with the best person in the world Lena. For my surprise when I got home this young lady was sitting at the dinner table with my kids and Lena, I thought she was one of my kid's friends.
" Hey folks, " I said as I approached Lena and kissed her
" Hey Mom " I heard my kids voices " Hey babe, " Lena told me. There was a girl staring at me and Lena, I can see by her looks that she's confused. Not the first look that I have seen being confused.
" So you're dykes" the girl said. Jesus looked at her and said
" Well they prefer the term people, but yeah they are gay" I was proud that our son could defend us.
" And who's this ?" I laughed at how awkward the situation was and stared at Lena.
" Oh Stef, this is Callie and she'll be here with us for a while until she can find a permanent foster house." said Lena
" Oh yeah! " I was shocked I couldn't believe that Lena made this choice without asking me but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to argue with her in front of the kids.
" Welcome Callie, I hope you find your permanent house as soon as possible" I knew instantly what I said was stupid it felt like I was hoping she could leave our house as soon as possible but that's not what I meant.
" Mhhhmm Yeah thanks, I hope so too. " Callie said.
After dinner, I decided to talk to Lena about this situation so we went to the front yard to talk about it.
" Why didn't you tell me that you're getting her," I asked
" Honey I called you several times but you never answered," Lena said
" You could've left a message" I told her
" And say what? That I got her" she told me
" Honey, what do we know about this girl? We're letting her into our house, what about our children? and what happened to her face? " I asked Lena
" She got beat up in Juvie" Lena said
" IN JUVIE !" I said.
Callie's POV
Dinner was so ridiculous I was put in a very awkward situation I should've never said the word dykes but I didn't know what other word to use. By this time I just wanted to be in bed and sleep and just die. After dinner Stef started talking to me about the things that I should be doing.
"The curfew on a school night is seven, you have to take permission from Lena or myself before leaving the house, also you'll go to school while you're staying here,
Lena is the Vice Principal of Anchor Beach Charter School all the kids go there" I knew every word she was saying because I have been to so many different foster homes and all of them say the same thing.
" Where do I sleep" I asked Stef
" Excuse me " Stef said. I knew by now she was shocked by my reaction
" It's not my first time in a foster home, where do I sleep? " I was so tired and I just wanted to go to bed and sleep. Lena engaged in and told me
" Let me show you " We went to the living room and Lena got a blanket and pillows.
" One pillow or two?" she asked me. I looked at her and said nothing cause I didn't feel like talking, so she decided to leave them both.
" I left some towels for you in the bathroom and do you have a toothbrush?" she asked. I thought that this is a very stupid question to ask, where would I ever get a toothbrush from.
"No I do not have a toothbrush. How would I have gotten a toothbrush?" I said
"Ok Callie, we're on your side. You could take it down a notch, okay?" Lena said. Every foster home said the same thing so I really didn't believe what she was telling me.
" Yeah !" I told her
"Bill was talking about Jude earlier, who's Jude? " Lena said
"Listen when I got into Juvie.." we were interrupted by Stef, she handed me a pajama and told me that she can wash my clothes so I can wear them tomorrow, and then she left.
" Yeah so you were saying" Lena said
" Never mind " I said. Lena then left and I decided to get into the bathroom so I can have a shower. It was a never ending day to me I was so tired and worried about Jude, my brother what is he doing, is he fine, is his foster dad beating him. I was not by his side, I was always there for him and I would always get beatin up instead of him cause I dont want him to be hurt. I hope he's doing fine.
Mariana's POV
This girl is so crazy she talks about everything that gets into her mind, I can't believe she called my moms dykes, I felt like killing her at the moment. I was heading down to the kitchen to take some of Jesus's ADHD pills since everyone should be sleeping by now, but for my surprise Callie was right behind me, Ughh I was so damn right about this girl, I hate her.
" What are you doing?" Callie asked
" Nothing I just have a headache and I'm taking some aspirin." I said looking at her and hoping she won't find out that I'm taking Jesus's pills.
" Oh yeah! Okay." She said. I don't know if she believed me but I hope she did I can't get in trouble. Mom's will kill me if they find out, and I don't want to be grounded anyway. I went back into my room put Jesus's pills in a tissue and I put them in my back pack. This Callie girl I hope she's out of here soon, she shouldn't be here I don't want her. I was so tired that I went to sleep directly when I put my head on the pillow.
Callie's POV
I don't know if I should be telling Stef and Lena about what I just saw, this could be dangerous for Mariana but If I tell them, Mariana will hate me forever and that way even if she wanted to bully me I'll stop her by bringing up how she took Jesus's pills. Would Stef and Lena believe me anyways or will they believe their beloved princess, its probably choice number two they will never believe me. I went to the couch and laid down, I knew that I was not gonna sleep until I think about Jude and what he was doing. I was awake for hours I guess until I finally slept thinking about Jude. I woke up at 4:00 A.M by someone tapping me on the back and telling me it was okay. I had no idea who it was and why were they doing this until I finally opened my eyes and saw Stef on the floor by the couch hugging me and telling me it's okay. My body was shaking and I was sweating. I was having a nightmare but I never noticed that I was having one since I have one mostly every day. I pulled back.
" I'm fine" I whispered
" No you're not fine love, you're not. " Stef said
" I'm sorry I didn't want to wake you up, Please don't do anything to me" I said.
I remembered all the foster homes I have been through and how every foster home would be so annoyed when I have a bad dream or a nightmare some of the foster dads I had would beat me up and tell me to not have a bad dream again. All those memories lingered in the room with Stef by my side.
" Baby I won't do anything to you, I'm just gonna comfort you" Stef said.
" It's alright I'm good I promise please don't send me away" I was hallucinating at that time and I was just in the mood of the foster homes that I had been in, none of them was good to me.
" Love, I won't send you away just because you had a bad dream, It's okay love, breath" Stef told me and she was getting closer to me and then she hugged me. It felt so damn good and I felt so safe but once again I remembered that if I do one bad thing they will just throw me out so I decided to pull away because I didn't want to get used to being loved and then be left out like trash. I went back to sleep but Stef was studying me over the other couch I guess until I slept because I remember seeing her all the time when I was trying to go back to sleep, maybe I was hallucinating again.
Thursday 7:00 A.M.
I heard someone waking me up and I knew from the voice it was Lena.
"Hey Callie, wake up honey it's time for school, you better get a chance to shower before the bathroom is all full" Lena said I really didn't want to open my eyes because as soon as I heard Stef's voice in the background I remembered last night when I was hallucinating and I didn't want to face it, but I knew that I had to wake up.
"Okay I'll be right up" I said whispering in a sleepy voice.
"Hurry up" Lena said as she approached the kitchen getting breakfast ready for all the kids.
" Okay" I murmured. I got up after probably five minutes and headed to the bathroom until I realized it was being used by someone.
" Dammit" I said
" Watch your mouth young lady" Stef said as she went downstairs
" Ahhhemmm" I muttered after realizing it was Stef. I was hoping she wouldn't talk about last night because I really didn't want to talk about it, not in fifty years. I was tired because last night I couldn't sleep thinking about Jude. I knew that I had to go get Jude no matter what. I tried searching for anyone's phone so I can use it to connect with Jude. Finally, I found Brandon's phone in his room, I took it because I knew Brandon is in the shower. I dialed in Jude's foster dad number because I knew by now he should be sleeping and Jude will be up.
" Hey Jude! How are you ?! are you okay? did he beat you up ?" I asked Jude hesitating that someone would hear me.
" Okay, Jude I will try getting you tonight alright don't worry I won't let you stay in that man's house I promise Jude" I closed the phone immediately because I heard some footprints.
" What are you doing in Brandon's room?" Jesus asked
" Uhhmm, nothing I was just gonna ask him something but I didn't find him" I told him. I wished that he didn't know I was using the phone.
" Okay" he said.
"C'mon Everyone breakfast is ready come downstairs" Stef's voice echoed in the house. We had our breakfast and got ready for school. We arrived at the parking lot of the school and I was shocked by the mesmerizing view of the sea on school.
" WOOW! Is this what you call school. I would accept living here ! " I said
" Believe me its very hard not like every school you might go to" Brandon said. I was looking all around that I couldn't answer Brandon until I was interrupted by Lena.
" Callie, why don't you let Brandon show you around. Your first class will be with Timothy so Brandon you know where to take her."
" Okay Mama" Brandon said. Everyone else has disappeared by now.
" You know you don't have to show me around if you don't want to" I told Brandon
" Mhm no I still have 10 minutes before I can get to practice before the bell" Brandon said
" Okay, Cool thanks" I said.
Brandon showed me around until we got to the music room. " This is the music room" Brandon said.
" It's nice" I told him
" Yes it is, and I should be practicing by now"
" Oh okay I'm sorry, what do you practice for? "
" Piano"
" Oh thats cool, okay i'm gonna sit here I promise you won't notice me here I'll be so quiet"
"Okay" Brandon said. By now he was playing piano and it was so good, I liked what he was playing. My thoughts were still with Jude I thought that I had to go get him now before anything happens to him. Brandon was interrupted by a girl and they started kissing.
" Hey Talya" Brandon said after they finished kissing
" New student?" Talya asked
" Oh yeah, Talya this is Callie my foster sister she'll be going to Anchor Beach with us. Callie this is Talya my girlfriend"
" Nice to meet you" I told Talya while shaking her hand. We were interrupted by the bell and everyone had to go to class by now.
" Hey Talya why don't you take Callie with you to Timothy's class, she has Timothy too" Brandon told Talya
" Okay sure, come with me Callie" she said. We went to class and I couldn't wait for lunch time so I could go get Jude. Hours passed by and finally it was lunch time
