Everybody was in absolute shock after what Mariana told them…. She was dating a girl. Lexy noticed Jesus' facial expression and became curious….
''Spill Foster!''
''My sister id dating one of the hottest girls ever…. She is even in swim Olympic team…''
Lena gave her best to hide her shock….
''A swimmer? Hm… When can we meet her?''
Mariana gave her a look….
''I would go with never… Seeing track history with mom's treatment of wives, girlfriends and the rest…. NO! I want to keep this relationship… When I run out of creative ways to break up with someone, I'll introduce that person to Mrs. Stefanie Foster.''
Steff left the room and went to her and Lena's bedroom. Lena gave kids the look of disaproval.
''Kids, don't be like that… Steff is just….''
Brandon responded first to Lena's remark….
''Just what? Pain in the neck? Always right? Only she knows who is right?''
''B, your mother is a very stubborn person. Give her time…''
''I have nothing to give anymore…. I gave her all the time to see ME, who I want to be and I'm done. Until she apologizes to me and my WIFE I have no intention to enter this house and so does Callie.''
''You can't control my sister…. You took her away from me! You destroyed my family… She did all for you and nothing for me… She choose you again!''
''She left because you threatened to expose us. She run away again because you threatened to tell Bill about her crossing the state border and our relationship. I assume my guilt in all this… But what about you Jude?''
''She was MINE! MINE! You were not supposed to take her away from me…. I thought if I tell her that I would do all that she would stop dating you and all would go back to normal…She promised she will never again have anything to do with you…. I almost got my sister back just for me…But no… You had to convince her that you love each other and should fight for your love, not against it…. And even now she lets you control her.''
''He is not controlling me. I know where and when I'm not wanted…. You and Steff got what you wanted Jude, I'm out of your way…''
''You said you will not leave me…''
''I didn't… You left me this time Jude…Apparently, you left me even before I got out of that door.''
Callie started collecting her things. There was heavy silence around them. They knew not to say anything because this with Jude and her was not over…
''What does that mean?''
''It means you never asked yourself what would make ME happy…You just assumed I have to sacrifice all for you, not for myself…. You called me selfish and accused me many times I did nothing for you. You loved mentioning Liam and how B and me are as ''dirty'' as me an Liam were… There is a news flash for you Jude. LIAM RAPED ME BECAUSE OF YOU! I DEFENDED YOU FROM HIM AND HE AND FIVE OF HIS FRIENDS RAPED ME FOR MONTHS…. ''
Her eyes were full of tears… She was on the verge to brake…
''That is a lie… Liam was good to me… He never hurt me. He got me things. Took me out with him and his friends. He was good to me until you ruined it all just because you HAD to sleep with him….''
Callie dried her eyes and her look changed…She looked at him with so much anger that it made Brandon scared. Her voice became ice cold.
''Brandon, turn on all the lights….''
''Callie….''
''Do it…''
Her voice was so cold that it sent chills over remaining members of the family. Brandon did what she asked him and she looked at her brother's eyes and started unbuttoning her shirt. Brandon knew what she was doing and that made him little bit conflicted. Should he really know all of it… He knew and loved every inch of that body. He knew how many scars Callie's body hides, but Jude knew nothing. She took off her shirt and therw it on the floor.
''Come closer…''
''Callie….''
''Jude, come closer!''
He came to her and first thing she did was show him scars on her arms. They were very pale and you could see them only if someone points them to you….
''These are from his knife… It turned him on to cut me during… I had to keep calm so it wouldn't go further under my skin….''
Then she moved her hair and showed him small scars on her scalp..
''I didn't want to do something he said I should and he hit me. Cuts were from his class ring…''
Then she took off her pants. She showed him crars on her knees and ancles….
''These are from glass… He broke the bottle and dragged me thrugh that glass…''
''Stop! Callie , stop!''
''I ended up in the hospital almost every weekend because he and his football team raped me until some of them noticed I've passed out. Doctor was a family friend, and a father to one of the boys…. It never got out….''
''Why Jude? You wanted to know how selfish I am… Now you know…. And the biggest prove of my selfish behavior is Annabelle…''
''What?''
''That's your nice…. Congratulations uncle….''
Lena jumped from her chair…. She took sobbing Jude into her arms and tried to calm him. She missed Steff being here right now. She would know what to do, what is the right thing to do. She never expected to hear something like that from Callie. She knew about some things Liam done to her, but taking her baby was too much. Much more than Lena could handle.
''What are you saying Callie?''
''I'm saying I gave birth to Liam's baby when I was fourteen…. She was so small and beautiful. She was a bit early but she was healthy and strong. She looked just like me as a baby. I was happy she had nothing of Liam's in her. I was so scared something might happen to her because she was early, but she survived. She was a survivor, like me… When they took her, I would see the pictures sometimes. She was so cute and every day she looked more like me. She is about seven years old by now…''
''Where is she?''
''With his oldest brother. They adopted her…''
''Do they know?''
''No, I believe they have no idea. He was the only good person in that family…''
''Did you sign off the rights?''
''No, I couldn't do that . I was a minor. His parents did it. They made it look like the most legal adoption.''
''You never told anyone?''
''Who? Who would believe me? They are family with power and connections and I was a child... I was scared they might do something to us. That's why I kept it a secret…So Jude would be safe…''
With that she picked up her things and left the house. B went after her. She stood in front of the car waiting for him to say something. He took off his sweatshirt and put it around her.
''I love you Callie Foster and this will not change it…''
She started crying.
''Take me home love.''
''Let's go..''
Ride home was quiet.
''Are you angry at me?''
''At you, never.. At my family, his family, Jude…. Very…''
''Did I make a mistake for telling all that?''
''I don't know. You had your reason…''
And there was the silence again….
''Do you want to find her?''
''Yes, but what would I tell her?''
''The truth…''
''That she was born out of multiple rape of her own uncle?''
''That you didn't want to give her up…''
''Should I do that to her? Should I shake up the entire life of a child ?''
''Callie, she is your child…''
''Yes, but to her I would be a stranger who is braking up her home. I would be the enemy. Someone who says her grandparents and uncle are mean people. I can't find her so she would hate me… I don't want that.''
''Give me time to think..''
''As you wish. I will respect your decision.''
''I really have to think this well before I do anything.''
''You have my love and support in every choice you make… I promise that…''
