Chapter 2: For the Love of a Sibling

Callie lied awake staring at the alarm clock. She knew that he would wake up soon and want to have sex before he went off to work. In her head she knew that this wasn't right, but she was stuck. She had nowhere to go. The Fosters house wasn't comfortable anymore. The two people that she was closest to despised her. Her biological father turned out to be just like every other man that she ever let in her life, a disappointment. The alarm clock went off, causing her heart to drop.

Noah let out a small moan as he awoke to the sound of the alarm clock. He turned to see if Callie was sleeping. "Are you awake?"

She didn't respond. Hoping that if she would pretend to sleep that he would just leave her alone. It never really worked, but she hoped that one day it would.

"Come on...help me get rid of this morning wood before I go to work." Without even asking or any foreplay, he climbed on top of her.

The teenager pretended to wake up slowly. Just like every morning she had emotionless sex with him. There was no telling this guy no and if she did it would turn out to a really bad beating. She had scars on her ribcage to prove it.

After about ten minutes of physical sex, he got off of her, and walked into the shower. This was a typical morning for her. She couldn't wait until he left for work. That was the only time that there was peace in the apartment. However, he did expect for the apartment to be spotless and a cooked meal on the table before he returned home.

She turned back around to go to bed.

"What did you do with my pills?" Was all she heard as she was just about to fall asleep.

"They are in the top drawer." She answered groggy.

He went over to the top drawer. There were dozens of prescription pill bottles with names such as ambien, seroquel, xanax, adderall, Oxycontin, and vicodin. He shuffled through them, and pulled a bottle out. "The xanax is getting really low, you haven't been using any while I'm gone, have you?"

Finally, just giving up on sleep she stood up. "No, I know the rules the only thing I can do when you are not here is drink and smoke cigarettes."

"Okay, just making sure. I don't remember us indulging in this many pills." Noah looked over at his girlfriend. Her jet black hair was a frizzy wild mess. She looked a bit irritated. but that didn't bother him.

"Well, we are always fucked up already when we take those." She was about to give an excuse when he cut her off...

"Are you saying that I'm a liar?"

"No..." She said meekly.

"Good." He popped a few pills in his hands, swallowed them without any water, and then placed them back into the drawer. "I will see you when I get back from work." The blond walked over to his girlfriend and kissed her on the cheek. "Please do something with your hair before I get back."

She gave him a fake smile. Then put her fist up happy that he was finally gone. This was the only time of the day when she could actually breathe. Too bad she wasn't really able to speak to anybody though. All her friends had left her because they couldn't understand why she was with him. Noah had basically cut off contact with her family. She had to fight tooth and nail just to be able to go over for Jude's birthday a couple of weeks ago.

A smile crossed her face as she got out of bed and began her morning routine of taking a shower, brushing her teeth, and picking out some clothes to wear. When all of her personal hygiene chores were finished, she went into the kitchen and poured her a glass of grey goose and mixed it with her orange juice. It was early in the morning to be drinking, but the drugs were the only way she coped with everything that was going on in her life now. While most eighteen year old's were out enjoying their freshman year at college, she was trying to find a way to escape this situation she had gotten herself into. Although, there was apart of her that really loved Noah. That part is the reason that she stayed.

She knew she only had a few hours until he would return home expecting a meal. So she decided to take one of her many cigarette breaks now. She walked out to the front of the apartment building. It was pretty deserted at this time of the day. All the productive people were at work or school. She lit the cigarette and let the toxins go deep into her lungs. As she blew the smoke out she could feel all the stress release from her body.

"I didn't know you smoked cigarettes now?" A male voice came up from behind her.

The black head got so frightened that she choked on the smoke. She turned around to see the last person she ever expected in front of her.

"Yeah, well there is plenty of shit that you don't know about me now." Callie replied harshly to none other than Brandon.

"I can see." He touched the skin of her arm that was showing, and slowly caressed the big bruise that was there.

"I ran into the dresser during the night when I was half asleep." She quickly made up an excuse.

"Yeah, sure. Look, I am not here to patronize you about your relationship." He said sternly.

"Then why are you here? Because the last conversation I remember us having you said that you hated me and never wanted to see me again." The memory was so painful, yet she was numb to that emotion at this present time in her life. She was numb to most things.

"If it were up to me, you would be out of my life forever." He looked down at his feet. This conversation was harder than he thought. "But it isn't about me and you. It's about Jude. He took everything pretty hard, especially, what happened between us."

"He should have never known about you and I. He should have never known about all of this." Okay, maybe she wasn't numb to her emotions for her brother. "I let him down all the time. He has a family and I am not apart of that family. If I was I wouldn't have been fucking you."

Brandon sighed heavily, his green eyes finally met with her brown ones. Ignoring everything she had just said he stated, "I think you need to sneak out of here one day and go talk to him."

She nodded her head no. "He hates me and you hate me. I think he is better off with me away. I am better off being away from you. I can't stay under the same roof as you without something happening between us. This is my home now."

He lifted his arms up in frustration. "I am not trying to get you to move back in with us. This conversation is hard enough, living with you after what you did to me would be hell. I just need you to make Jude realize that this is whats best for everybody. But you know what, I forgot how selfish you are. Just let the only person that ever stood by you hurt. At least I tried." With that he began to walk away.

With his back turned she said coldly. "I WILL talk to MY brother. I know you still don't understand why I did what I did, but one day you will realize it was the best thing." She threw her cigarette on the ground and stomped on it.

From the corner of his eye, he watched as she blew that last breath of cigarette smoke, and walked into her apartment complex.

Later on that night, in the Foster house, Mariana was stuck babysitting Emily. Stef and Lena had gone out on one of their date-nights. Jude was at a therapy session. Jesus was out with Emma.

"Everybody has a life but me." She said to her baby sister who was playing in her toy pen.

She was about to consult with her baby sister some more when the door opened and Jesus came running in.

"I need you to tell Emma I was with you tonight." He said out of breath. "Please! If you do me this one favor I will owe you big time."

As she was contemplating whether she would do it, Emma walked in. "Hey guys." She said with a smile.

"Hi!" Mariana said just as enthusiastically back.

"What were you guys doing?" She asked looking around the living room to see if she could find anything suspicious.

"Nothing, we were just playing with Emily." Mariana lied so well that she even believed it.

"Oh, okay." You could hear the relief in Emma's voice.

"See, I told you that there was nothing going on." Jesus said as he began to walk his girlfriend to the door. "You should really learn how to trust me. What is a relationship without that?"

"I know. You're right. It's just that I keep getting this funny feeling that..."

"And that is all it is. It is a funny feeling." He leaned down and kissed her. "I will see you tomorrow at school. I can even pick you up before school. We can play around a bit before first period."

"I will see how I feel in the morning." She confessed.

"Okay, I love you." He watched as she got into her friend's car. Once they were far out of sight, he closed the door. When he turned around nobody other than his twin sister was waiting there with her arms crossed.

"What was that about?"

"Nothing, mind your own business." He stated as he began to walk up the stairs.

Mariana quickly ran to grab Emily and started following her brother up to his room. "I thought you were on a date with Emma. Unless you guys are into weird three person dates, you must've been somewhere else."

He turned to look his sister in the face. "Drop it."

"I will not drop it! You owe me one for covering your behind with her just now. So unless you tell me what is going on, I can definitely let your girlfriend know that I lied. Her boyfriend was not with his twin sister watching his other sister. He was out for hours doing something secretive..."

"I was on a date. I just wasn't on a date with Emma." He walked into his room. "There, you happy now?" Rudely, he shut the door before she could even respond.

Emily was getting a bit fussy in her arms. She heard Jude come in from therapy, which means Brandon was home too, because there would be nobody else to pick him up. So she met her oldest brother at his room. "Here take her." She placed Emily on Brandon's bed and walked off. Then she knocked on Jesus' door until he finally got irritated and answered.

"What?"

"Are you some type of man whore or what? You can't break up with girls before you start dating other ones? First Lexi and now Emma."

"It's different."

"How?" Her arms were crossed in disgust at her twin brother. "You had me lie for you when you were out there doing exactly what she thought you were doing."

"You are not a guy, so you wouldn't understand." He stated simply.

"So if I were Emma and a guy was treating me like this, you would find it okay because he is a guy?"

"I'd kill him. But you are my sister. It's different."

"No, it's not! You have to start treating these women better." She was about to lecture him when he gave her a look.

"Listen, I am a man. I love Emma. We are in a relationship and that is my girlfriend. But sometimes I want something other than Emma. So I go out for a night or two and get something other than her. She is the one I take out on dates, who gets the title, and is the number one girl in my life. The rest of those woman don't mean a thing but casual sex."

"You can't have your cake and eat it too." Was all that Mariana said. "I don't know where you can come off and be so sexist. We were raised by two women!"

"Exactly! You are a woman, so you don't understand. There is no such things as monogamy. It is just something people make up to feel special."

"I am not going to lecture you anymore about this. You do what you want it is your life, but do not ask me to cover for you again. I will not do it." She gave her brother a death glare and then walked away.

"This is why I didn't want to tell you in the first place!" He called after her.
