The next morning when Scottlynn wakes up, she feels guilty about leaving Mollianne. I mean she always felt guilty, but this time the guilty was overwhelmingly strong. It almost overpowered her, so she picked up Camryn and woke up Finley. Scottlynn carried Camryn and held her son's hand as she walked to find a payphone. Once Scottlynn found one, she took out some change and put it in the payphone before dialing Mollianne's number.

Meanwhile in San Diego with Mollianne, she picks up her phone and answers it without checking the caller ID.

"Hello?" Mollianne asked into the phone

"Hi baby." Scottlynn greeted.

Mollianne smiled, "Momma! I'm so happy to hear from you. Please come home. I'm sorry and I need you. I miss you."

"I'm sorry, baby, but you're safe. I'm not. I can't come back." Scottlynn explained

"Mom, we'll fight for you." Mollianne assured Scottlynn "I won't let you go to Juvie and neither will Fiona or Will. We will fight this in court and win."

Scotlynn sighed softly, "I'm very sorry, baby, but I can't take that risk. You know as much as I do that we won't win in court. We're foster kids. Nobody believes us."

"You know I'm disappointed in you, mom. You taught me to be hopeful, but you have no hope yourself. You taught me to trust, but you don't trust anybody. You need to take a chance. Be hopeful and trust someone. If you get hurt than so what. That's life." Mollianne started Then she added, "And you always push everybody away. I just never thought you'd do it to me."

Scottlynn blinked and thought about those words, "No, Mollie I'm not pushing you away. I'm trying to protect you. I love you."

"No! I hate you. You're not my mom anymore. My mom died when I was two days old." Mollianne tells Scottlynn before hanging up and sliding down the wall and crying.

Meanwhile with Scottlynn, she sighed softly as a few tears spilled from her eyes. She couldn't believe that she'd hurt her baby sister so much. The baby sister she'd raised and thought of as a daughter. Scottlynn hadn't meant to hurt Mollianne. She was just trying to protect her and give her a forever family.

Back with Mollianne who's crying in her room when she hears a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Mollianne asked though tears

"It's your friend. Marcus." Marcus told Mollianne "Can I come in?"

"Yeah I guess." Mollianne replied as she sniffled and wiped her eyes.

Marcus opened the door and saw Mollianne sitting on the floor crying. He walked over, sat down, and hugged his friend, "Hey Mol. Mollie, what's wrong?"

"My...um sister called me. She won't come home." Mollianne explained though tears "And I miss her so much. I need her home. I told her that we won't let her go to Juvie, but she doesn't believe it. She's broken inside. She's lost all hope and trust in this world."

Marcus frowned, "I'm so sorry, Mollie."

"It's okay. It's not your fault." Mollianne replied with a sigh "It's all those crappy foster parents we had. They broke her. I was the one could make her happy and I ruined everything. I just had to want to give her a family. What is wrong with me?!"

Marcus looked confused and then shook his head, "Nothing is wrong with you, Mollie. Absolutely nothing. You're human and you love your big sister so much that you wanted to give her what she's always given to you."

Mollianne sighed softly, "Yeah but I wish I just hadn't. I wish I could have just accepted my life as it was." Then she added, "Because now I feel like my world is ending."

Marcus just hugged Mollianne and held get close. He couldn't find any words that would be of comfort to her.

Meanwhile with Scottlynn, she is sitting with her kids on a bench outside the phone booth while thinking of what Mollie had said to her. Scottlynn decides that she really should have hope and give the police a chance to believe her.

"Mommy, are we ever going back to big sissy?" Finley asked hopefully

Scottynn sighed softly and nodded, "Yes baby, we are. Really soon I promise."

"Good." Finley replied "Because I know she's scared as she wants her mommy. Just like last year when that man held a knife to her throat and then you killed him."

Scottlynn looked at her son shocked, "Oh okay buddy, well I'm going to use the phone booth. Will you be fine sitting here with Cammie for a few minutes. I'll be right back and we'll be able to see each other."

"Yeah I'll be fine, mommy. I'm a big boy." Finley said as he nodded

Scottlynn smiled softly and then got up to use the phone booth. She put money in the slot and then dialed 0 for the operator.

"Hello? How can I help you?" The operator asked

Scottlynn took a deep breath, "Can you please connect me to the Los Angeles Police Department."

After a few moments, "Hello LAPD dispatcher, what's your emergency?"

"Um I'm Scottlynn Jamison. There's a warrant out for my arrest and I'd like to explain because there shouldn't be." Scottlynn said

"Okay let me put you in touch with a detective." The dispatcher replied

"Thank you." Scottlynn said before hearing a female voice on the line.

"Hello? This is Detective Jessica Sanders, what is it that you'd like to explain?" The detective Jessica asked

Scottlynn took a deep breath, "My name is Scottlynn Jamison. I'm a run away foster kid and last year I killed my foster father in self defense."

"Oh okay I remember that case. Tell me what happened Scottlynn. I'll see if I can help you." Jessica told Scottlynn

"Um.. well when my baby sister and I came back from school and walked into the house our foster dad August came out from behind the door and...um he..." Scottlynn started to stuttered at the end so she paused

Jessica sighed softly feeling bad for the girl, "It's okay. Take your time."

Scottlynn took another deep breath, "He...um..he put a knife to my sister's throat and told me to do as he says or he'd kill her. I told him not to hurt her and that I'd do anything as long as she remained unharmed. My baby sister is the only one I truly care about...well her and my two kids." The she paused and added, "He told me I had to agree to have sex with him so I did and he let my sister go. He followed me upstairs into my bedroom. I let him get on top of me, but as he was about to put his thing inside of me I reached under my pillow for my knife and then I stabbed him in the heart. It was my justice for me, but mostly my baby sister. He scared her. He traumatized her."

"Okay thank you, Scottlynn. I'll see what I can do for you." Jessica replied. Then she asked, "Do you have a cell phone number? I'll need to get in touch with you again and I'll need to talk to your sister."

"Um no, but my sister does. When I get back home to her I'll call back and ask for you." Scottlynn told the detective

Jessica nodded even though Scottlynn couldn't see her, "Okay."
