"Mom let's go! We need to get to the mall soon so we can be back in time for Lexi to come over!" Mariana yelled from the doorway. In the three days science Taylor told the foster family her story a lot had been decided. One of the many things was that Taylor was set to start school with the Jesus, Mariana and Brandon the following week, Taylor would move into Mariana's room and Lena would take to two girls shopping so that Taylor would have some belongings. Mariana was excited to finally have a sister, Brandon thought it would good to have another addition to the household and Jesus was thrilled to have Taylor join the family for a few months because she had already agreed to let him teach her how to skateboard.
"Oh! Look this is cute!" Mariana squealed running off to look at something. Lena just chuckled. "What do you think Taylor?" Taylor seemed to be distant all morning. "I feel bad. It's your money and I'm not your kid." She replied. "You are our kid. Lena stated matter of factly. "For now..." Taylor whispered. Mariana back over "Hey Taylor I think I found a dress that would be perfect to wear on your first day of school!" Taylor looked slightly afraid, "A dress?" Lena laughed. "Okay. I'll be right over Mariana." Taylor paused looking at a green sweater. "This is for you just remember okay?" Lena wanted to make sure Mariana didn't do all the shopping today. Taylor just nodded and walked over to Mariana.
Three stores later and Taylor had about seven outfits, and a few dresses with the help of Mariana. "Hey mom, Lexi just texted me can I go meet her at the other end of the mall and meet back up with you two?" Mariana was already texting yes before her mother replied. "Now what's more of your style?" Lena asked looking around at the stores and then to Taylor. Taylor just shrugged. "I like bright things." Ahhh, This is what Lena wanted something a little more of Taylor's own personality. "Perfect." In the next store Taylor seemed a little happier shopping. Pink skinny jeans, some sweat-shirts, and two blazers later and the three were ready to leave.
"Hey sweetie. Can you stay down here for a few minutes after dinner?" Stef and Lena were talking to Taylor. "Of course." She replied. "We know you don't really like talking to people you don't know. So in school you don't have to say anything for the first day or two if you don't want okay?" Taylor smiled. "Thanks. But I might try. Though there is one thing. Can I sneak off for lunch I don't really think being around all those kids with hand prints on my neck would be a good thing." Taylor joked and littly laughed but the two women understood. "How does the beach sound? Of course you would have to have lunch with me so you wouldn't get into trouble." Lena said smiling. "That would be great." Taylor smiled.
Taylors bruises began to heal and she started to talk with Jesus' and Mariana's friends after a few weeks and began to participate in class. The Foster household seemed to be doing a lot of good for Taylor she had to role models, Stef and Lena, Jesus who had already taught her how to skateboard and to do a few tricks and Mariana who did Taylor's hair and nails, and Brandon who took her on short drives when she needed to think. All was going good for all Taylor and the Fosters'. Taylor had been in the house for a little over eight months when Lena walked in with a new girl in tow. Lena introduced her as Callie. When Stef walked in and gave Lena a kiss and Callie spat the words"So you two are dykes?" Mariana had to pull Taylor out into the backyard so that she didn't punch her right then. Callie and Taylor may not be the best two to put in a house. "We just met her. Remember your first night?" Mariana calmed Taylor down. She would give Callie a chance.
