Moments before Taylor's outburst at Callie

"This is Callie." Lena said introducing the new girl. Lena introuduced the two twins who had also been in the foster system. "It sucks." Jesus stated. "Hey enough!" Lena didn't want to get into this again. Brandon walked into the room, "oh who is this?" He gave Taylor a questioning look. Taylor shook her head, no. She was still uncofterable talking about dates in the house. Taylor saw the quick smile and look from Brandon, he thought she was cute! Taylor went to kick his shin under the table but hit Jesus instead. "This, is Callie. She'll be staying awhile with us." Lena explained to Brandon. "Welcome." He smiled.

Present time

"I still think she should have gotten punched by my fist. I mean she called your mom dykes." Taylor sighed still agitated at what just happened. Taylor and Mariana walked back into the kitchen in time to hear Jesus joke "what nobody told you my moms a cop?" He was still joking with Callie about the incident. "This is why no boys will ever come over!" Mariana whined. "As it should be!" Stef laughed. "It makes the girls want to come over though." Taylor whispered to Mariana. Mariana stuck her tongue out at Taylor. "Care to share girls?" Lena teased. "Yes!" Mariana squealed. "No!" Taylor giggled. "So Callie where are you from?" Stef asked. "Other foster homes." Callie's reply was cold and stopped the conversations in the kitchen.

After an awkward dinner Callie left with Lena to get situated on the couch for the night. Mariana went upstairs to get ready for bed, Brandon went to practice and Jesus had homework. This left Stef and Taylor on dish duty. "Can I speak freely?" Taylor still asked to speak without getting into trouble, Stef had her mind in other things but tried to focus for her. "I don't like her. I know it's not my home so I won't cause trouble but I don't like her. Why did you let her come in? Your acting different with her than me, why? Sorry am I asking to many things." Stef found Taylor's rambling calming but also realized the truth in it. Stef sighed, . "She's been through alot Taylor. She's going to be cold and have issues trusting us at first but it'll get better. I think you should try and talk to her sometime. One day I'll explain to you why I accepted you so quickly, we have a lot in common." Stef sighed again, "And I didn't know she would be here until you did."

Callie was down stairs being told the rules and what was to happen if she was to stay in this house.

She was also told that she was safe here. Upstairs, Jesus and Mariana were sitting in Mariana's room, they knew how they're moms loved them the same as Brandon but the words still stung. Taylor walked in to see them both sitting there and decided to join for a few minutes. "So lets just check if I've got this right?" Taylor started. "Please don't recap dinner!" Mariana didn't want to hear it again. "No please do." Jesus had caught in that Taylor was trying to lighten the mood and all three kids needed that right now. "I couldn't slap her, or insult her. She then called you two the adopted kids compared to Brandon who was the "real kid" and I was the stray. What is she the princess?" Mariana giggled. Jesus laughed a little too. Taylor was glad she had made the two laugh after seeing how badly the comment had hurt them tonight. Mariana, Jesus and Taylor had all come really close in the last few months and the twins were really glad she was there right now.

Later that night Mariana went to sneak downstairs to the kitchen, hearing this Taylor followed her. Mariana was taking pills out of Jesus bottle and stuffing them into her pocket as Callie walked in. Callie had a slight s,ug look on her face but didn't say anything. "Don't tell my moms." Mariana pleaded. Callie just shrugged, Taylor just stood in a corner where neither girl saw her and shook her head. Mariana rushed back up to her room but Taylor saw something else Callie had Brandon's phone and was calling someone on it. "Jude. Jude! It's me it's Callie! Shhh, I'm going to come get you I promise. Shhhh. Okay, bye." Callie appeared as if she was going to burst into tears. "Whose Jude?" Taylor asked. "What?" Callie swung around" its nobody" Callie walked back into the living room and lied down on the couch. "I'm new here to, if you wanted to hide out with me when you start school." Taylor left not sure what more she could say.

Everyone in the house was finally asleep, but this proved to be the most eventful night scince Taylor came into the home.

The next morning everyone was bustling around the kitchen getting ready for school. Mariana was doing Taylor's hair last minute as Taylor shoveled down some cereal, Jesus and Brandon were running around trying to pack their bags in time. Callie walked in no one paying to much attention to her until she picked up the pot of coffee and poured herself a glass. Everyone froze for just a moment and stared at her. Callie took a sip. Everyone went back to what they were doing and all started to run out the door.

"Brandon show Callie around please?" Lena asked when they pulled into the parking lot. "Um sure he replied. Mariana had already run off to her friends and Jesus down to the volleyball game before the first class of the day. "Where's Callie eating?" Taylor looked at Lena. "Out with the kids I would assume. Aren't you going to sit with Mariana and Lexi today? No I don't think I should sit with Mariana today. I'll do homework so I can go to Brandon's audition." Hmm why didn't Taylor want to hang out with Mariana anymore? Lena would have to discuss it with Stef later. "Have a good day sweetie." Lena left to her office.

Callie being shown her first class by Brandon was not impressed she already didn't like this class. It would be a long couple of months here. She managed to make it through all of her morning classes but lunch was a bit more difficult, for a moment she looked around to see if that Taylor girl was sitting alone at a table somewhere but decided it better than to get attached to people and left to find a quiet room.

Brandon went to the same room he practiced in all the time but this time there was someone there, Callie. She sat there quietly strumming a guitar. They spent the rest of lunch practicing and teaching.

Mariana ran up to Callie between lunch and the last class of the day, "heard you've been looking for a ride, there's a bus stop down the street."

Trying to leave Brandon saw Callie leaving and decided he was going to try and stop her, as he ran up to her his phone rang. "Give me that!" Callie grabbed Brandon's phone and answered "hey Jude, shhh. I'm coming to get you now okay shhh i'll be there soon." Callie hung up and started to walk faster towards the bus stop. " who was that? Is Jude your boyfriend or something?" Brandon turned Callie around "it's my brother okay! My foster father saw Jude wearing his ex wife's dress once and beat him for it, I need to get Jude out of house!" Brandon had already made up his mind. "Then I'm coming with you."

Back at the house Mariana had laid out some clothes and had a large bag of cash on her pillow when Taylor walked in. "Where you going?" And then she saw the money on Mariana's pillow, "You really did that those pills the other night! And you did sell them! My god Mariana why?" Taylor was practically screaming and Mariana kept shushing her. "I know someone who needed help okay leave it alone." Mariana couldn't let this plan fall through the cracks now.

"Hey kids! Do you know where Brandon and Callie are?" Lena asked when the twins and Taylor walked down the stairs ready for Brandon's audition. "What?" Jesus and Taylor both did a double take. "They didn't come home from school, today." Lena explained. Mike was yelling at Stef for losing their son. "Callie was looking for a ride, at school she kept asking." Mariana looks up from the floor sheepishly. Stef and Mike walked over to Lena and the kids "Brandon would have gone with her to keep her out of trouble." Stef agreed with what everyone was thinking. "His cell phone!" Lena exclaimed.

"Distract him at the front door, I just need to talk to Jude. He won't let me in, if he knows who I am." Callie was clearly distraught. Brandon just nodded there was something about the way Callie talked about Jude that seemed to explained everything.

"Get outta here!" he screamed. "Jude, Jude!" Callie whispered trying to coax him over towards her. He pulled out a gun and pointed it at Callie. "Woah." Brandon took a step into the house. It turned into chaos with screaming and pointing the gun at the two teenagers. Stef and Mike rushed in at the perfect time. "Put the gun down!" Stef and Mike yelled. Callie ran to Jude. Brandon's face said it all "I'm so screwed."

Lena and Stef got all the kids into the car. Lena knew that the house didn't have enough room and was ready to admit that she had made a mistake by taking in Callie, especially after Callie was in juvie. "We aren't sending them back into the system, right now." Stef had seen the way the two had acted, they couldn't be separated. "We really don't have room, Stef." Stef shrugged, "We'll have to make more room." A tear rolled down Stef's cheek.
