Stay

Chapter 9

Callie's POV:

Today was the day.

It was the day that Jude and I would get to see our father for the first time in 6 years. The first time since we were put into the foster system. The first time since he was involved with my mothers death.

I quickly get dressed and knock on Jude's door.

"Hey buddy. You ready?"

He looks up from the book he's reading and quietly nods.

I walk into his room and sit on his bed next to him "are you sure you want to do this? To go and see him?"

"Yes. If we are about to get adopted, I want him to see how happy we are without him" he replies.

I fake a smile and get up and walk to the door "be down in 5, okay?"

"Okay" he responds.

When I get downstairs, Brandon is already eating cereal. "Hey" he says smiling.

"Good morning" I say sitting next to him grabbing the cereal box.

"How are you feeling? Are you ready?"

"Yeah I'm fine. I think I need this. Kind of like closure"

"Yeah, I get it" he replies looking down at his cereal. "Who's going with you?"

"Stef and Lena and Jude of course. I'm worried about him. I think he's doing this for all the wrong reasons. When he found out that Donald had been out of jail for 6 months, he was crushed. It's almost like he wants revenge"

He's quiet for a moment before finally saying, "do you think I could come with you guys?"

Surprised, I immediately say "yes!"

"Yes what?" Jude says walking down the stairs and sitting at the table.

"Hey buddy, I'm going to come with you guys to see your father" he say hesitantly.

"He's not our father" Jude says.

Just then, Stef and Lena walk downstairs motioning everyone to get in the car.
