FORBIDDEN LOVE ❇ JESUS FOSTER

chapter three

A few hours later I picked up enough clothes to last me and Callie about a month. I quickly made my way back to the house knowing we were going to find out their decision.

"I'm back." I called out as I shut the door. "Were in the living room Liv." Lena yelled back.

I squeezed myself onto the couch in between Marianna and Jude, setting the bags on the floor. "Oh heres the change."  I said handing a 20 to Lena. She glanced at the bill and looked back up. "You know you couldve used all of it."

"I shopped clearence mostly." I said with a shrug. "Its what I usually do."

I sighed ignoring the sad faces they pulled. "And speaking of that, Marianna, as I promised." I started pulling the red lingire out of the shopping bag.

"Something sexy." I giggled as her brothers held faces of disgust. "Oh uh thanks." She said with a fierce blush, unsure, nervously looking between me and her moms. "Get more excited, this is totally sexy right?" I said showing it to her moms. "Its definitly something." Stef spoke up.

Callie quickly sent an elbow to my ribs. I hissed and backed away slightly.

"Can you please stop being weird Liv?" She snapped not noticing she hurt me. I rolled me eyes and turned back dropping the lingire into the bag.

"Alright well you guys know we had our meeting with Bill today." Stef started more serious. "We've decided that we arent in a place to take you guys in permantly." My face fell as Jude squeezed my hand. "But, we want to be your last stop before you find a home." Lena cut in. "We dont know how long, it could be weeks or a year. Either way we want to be hete for you." She reassured with a kind smile.

I shared a smile with Jude, both of us dismissing the unsure looks from Callie.

"Obviously we aren't gonna make you sleep on the couch so we will have some beds in tomorrow. Callie you'll bunk with Marianna, and unfortunately there isnt space for three beds in her room so Olivia irs gonna be up to you where you stay." Stef said looking to me.

I glanced between thr two boys left. "Id stay with Jesus, Brandon's girlfriend gets mad jealous." Marianna whisepred into my ear.

"Jesus I guess." I said quietly avoiding the smirk he sent me. "Great, then that leaves Jude with Brandon." Lena finished.

"Okay well its pretty late so just do whatever, we'll have family dinner tomorrow." Stef said standing up from the chair.

I sighed and watched evryone go their separate ways. Mostly just to their rooms. I followed Marianna to put Callie's clothes away before going to Jesus's room to leave mine.

"Hey sorry to bud in but where can I put these?" I asked shutting the door.

When I turned back Jesus stood about a foot away shirtless and I couldn't help but stare down his body. "Eyes up here Blondie." He said with a smirk. "Right over there."

My face burned as I turned away to set down my bags. "Ok I'm just gonna back downstairs." I said rushing out.

"Not so fast." He cut in shutting the door in front of me. I rose a brow turning to him. "I wanna know the story now." I sighed sitting over on his bed.

"Its from my last foster dad." I told him. "He hit you?" He asked. "Yeah, me and Callie." I said messing with my fingers. "But some those actually do look like hickeys." He commented lightly moving my head to the side.

I gulped nodding my head. "Some of them are, Jason didn't only hit me okay? He did other stuff to me, Callie tried to stop it but once she was juvie it happened almost every night." I explained. His face twisted up in anger, I bit my lip nervously when he jumped up. "We havr to tell moms, they can report him."

"No they can't. I tried at Callies trial but it was his word against mine and they didn't believe me. I have no proof." I said quickly. "And either way I don't want anyone to know, once people find out that's all they see. Youre already doing that." I sadly watching his eyes stare over me as if I was a lost puppy. "Liv, I'm not really. It just me off that he just gets away with it."

I shrugged. "It happens sometimes its not a big deal. I've dealt with before, nothing I cant handle."

"Did someone else do something to you?" He almost shouted. I through a hand over his mouth. "Can you please keep it down?"

He held up his hands. "I just don't wanna talk about that okay?"

"Fine, thanks for telling me about the other stuff though." He said kindly. "Of course."

"Do you wanna know my secret then?" He offered. "Oh I already know Marianna was selling your pills, heard her and some chick talking at your school." I told him.

He sent me a look of shock. "A girl? Whatd she look like?" I chuckled with a teasing smile. "Blonde, do you have a thing for one of Marianna's friends?"

"Psh, no. They're all lame." He lied. "You my friend are a terrible liar, whats her name?" I asked laying down. "Lexi." He caved with a sigh. "But don't tell Marianna, she'd get mad if I had thing with her friend."

"My lips are sealed, remeber as long as you keep my secrets I'll keep yours." I said walking to the door.

"Night." I said. "Good night Blondie." He called back.
