New Beginnings

Chapter 2: Save Us

I can't sleep, I can't eat, all I can do is try to make my twin brother feel like he isn't alone. ITs been months since we've seen Callie, she was sent to Juvie, and I know what the kids at her school are probably thinking. They probably say, 'Oh, I wonder if she ticked off a police officer' or 'She deserves it'. I know my sister was innocent, but I can't tell anything. I don't talk a lot like I usually do, my friends all think I'm a freak with the makeup on my face. I try to cover up my bruises, but I don't know how to put on makeup...Callie was supposed to teach me.

Jude told my Callie called him last night when I was asleep, I have been suffering from a concussion for the past week from having a pan come slamming down on my head No internal bleeding though, so that's good news. But, I really wish I could have talked to her.

Earlier we tried calling her, but before I could even talk, Ryan took the phone and started to abuse us all over again. My head is still throbbing from his hand slapping me from the back of my head.

"Hurry up with the dishes, maybe if you finish before my show is over, I won't smash your head against the wall...Alex," His head leaned over his chair to look directly at us. I nodded nervously and continued to dry the plates. Then knocking came from the door.

"Hello?*Knock*Anybody home?*Knockknock*I need help!" A male voice asked.

Jude and I tried to ignore it, I think Jude was afraid to get it cause it might be a police officer. Today, Jude got in trouble for wearing one of Ryan's Ex-Wife's dresses, so Bill beat the Hell out of him!

"Are you Deaf or what?" Ryan asked walking towards the door. He glared at me as though it was entirely my fault. I looked down at the ground. The front door opened. "Can I help you?"

"I was looking for the Metro-station," The male voice asked. I put down my plate slowly and wrapped my arms around Jude who seemed to be lost in a trance. He just kept cleaning though.

"The Metro station is a few miles from here," Ryan retorted. I could hear the creaking of the wood as he shifted his weight against the doorframe.

"Yeah, well..." The male voice mumbled. Bill sighed and opened up the screen door.

"Alright man, you got to go 6 miles down that way...WOAH HEY! What the HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" He yelled. I turned around and I was starting right at...Callie.

"Callie?" I mumbled nervously as Bill walked over to her.

"I just want to talk to..." Callie mumbled. Jude finally turned around and we were both in shock, well still me.

"Shut your MOUTH, and,"

"Look, I'm sorry about your car," Callie sternly said. Ryan took hold of Callie's shoulder and violently shook her.

"LET GO OF HER!" I screamed and ran towards her, but with a swift hand he sent me to the floor, I landed on my head and the world started to go blurry.

"ALEX!" Callie screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Hey don't touch her," The unknown man said as he came inside. I made out Bill grabbing a gun and pointing it towards him. My vision was starting to some back to normal. I let out a blood curling scream as I felt his foot kick my head, but something shoved it off, I looked up to see Jude hovering over me with his hands to his ears.

"GET DOWN ON YOUR HANDS AND KNEES NOW!" Another voice yelled, I started to cry as I saw a police officer, well a blond haired lady and man who seemed to be Hispanic.

"Callie?" I cried and reached my hand up to her, the police woman noticed me, but only stared as Callie knelt down and hugged me, pulling Jude down with her. I leaned my head into her green sweatshirt and cried, as Callie held Jude's head and asked him multiple questions.

My vision finally cleared up as a paramedic came in and knelt down to me. He seemed friendly, but I don't judge people on the way they looked, I have to get to know them. They put me on a stretcher and carried me outside to the front lawn, I held my head the entire way and cried. An African American woman, in nice clothing covered her mouth and ran over.

"Sweetie, are you ok?" She asked. As I felt the stretcher hit the ground I sat up. My head throbbing. The paramedic tried to get me to sit down, but I was strong enough to get out of his grip and launch myself into Callie's arms. I wrapped my arms around her neck and smiled, she cried and kissed my forehead.

Its been a half an hour now, Jude and I have packed our bags. My black and white polka dotted bag was packed with my brown Teddy Bear, journal, and a white woven hat Callie gave me when I was 10 for my birthday. We walked outside, Callie in front of me. I held the white wired things on the side of the house as I slowly walked down. My head starting to throb, I was feeling nauseas and finally puked of the porch.

"Here kiddo, I'll help you," I felt my tired feet leave the ground and carried down the stairs, I looked up to see the blond haired cop."What's your name, I'm Stef?"

I didn't say anything, I was scared to talk but really, I just didn't want to puke on her.

"Who's that?" I heard the African American woman ask.

"That's her brother and sister. Jude and Alex," The man who was at the door earlier answered. As we reached the car, The man, well let me correct that, older teenager sat in the middle and I was shifted into his lap, I don't know him, but I guess it will just have to do for right now.

"Hey...Skippy, my brother used to have that backpack," He said.

"Cool," Jude smiled. "What's your name?"

"Brandon, and who might you be?" He asked, making me sit up, I closed my eyes and didn't say anything.

"Alex, is kind of not feeling well right now, and she is kind of scared...right Alex?" Jude asked. I nodded and let tears come rolling down my cheeks. Callie finally hopped in the car and we all moved over. The two police officers were on each side of the doors.

"You know I'm going to kill you if your moms don't kill you first," He said looking at Brandon, "Love ya B," He patted his shoulder and shut the door.

"Love you too," He mumbled and looked at me. The Steff shut the other side. I let more tears fall down my cheeks as I had nothing else better to do, I was the weakling, the one who was the target. Callie finally took me into her lap by pulling me over and hushed me.

"Hushhhhhh, everything is ok..." She repeated over and over, till I closed my eyes.

"I'm sorry, you didn't have to come," Callie said. I smiled at her remark, she always apologizes.

"Yes I did," Brandon replied.

"I will make sure that guy gets what he deserves," The male cop said from the outside.

"Do what ever you want, see you at work tomorrow," Stef said, a pair of shoes walked away.

"I 'am not sending these kids back into that system," The mumbling got quieter I couldn't tell whose was it, my head was also still hurting, maybe I shouldn't have run away from the paramedics.

The front doors of the car opened, and I opened my eyes just to look at the people...Stef and who I have heard, Lena the African American woman.

"Buckle up!" Stef said loudly to us, I sat up and looked around.

"Here Sweetie, come sit up here," Lena said. I looked at Callie and she nodded. I slid my dirty converse over the arm rest and Lena placed me on her lap. The seatbelt came across me and I whipped my head to look outside.

"Your ok," Callie softly said to me as she was helping Jude with his own seatbelt. I nodded and still sat up, as the car started to drive, Lena wrapped her arms around me in a comforting way and my head rested right under the crook of her chin. Stef smiled at Lena and continued to drive. I closed my eyes and finally fell asleep.

I felt the car stop and I barely opened my eyes. Stef had the door opened and I was passed into her arms, people say I'am as light as a baby, but the size of a 9 year old. I'm 12! Two Hispanic kids, maybe siblings followed us in, they were standing on the porch from what I could see.

I was carried bridal style as everyone does with me. Stef carried me up the stairs into a warm lighted house.

"Hey, Lena, get them some blankets and stuff," Stef said and slowly placed me on the couch. I sat up rubbing my eyes and looked down at my feet. As I was reaching, Stef pulled them off and I gave a quick smile, but I made it disappear.

"Here, Alex," Callie said as she came over. I was in black leggings, red sweatshirt with a grey tank-top underneath, plus my whit converse to show it off, which are now on the floor. Callie helped me un-zip my sweatshirt and lay down on the couch. My head softly hit the pillow and my body was consumed by a soft blanket.

"I love you Callie," I mumbled to her. Callie kneeled down and kissed my forehead. Jude finally came next to me and rested him head on the other side of the couch. I looked at the other people in the house and finally closed my eyes.

"Love you to Alex,"

I was finally safe...Me, Jude, and Callie.
