The Jacobs Twin(A Fosters Fanfic)

Chapter 5

One night, everyone was sitting at the dinner table.

"So, Callie. Olivia." Mariana started. "You know my friend, Kelsie?"

"The one that falsely accused us of selling the pills at schools?" Callie asked.

"Yeah well, her parents are sending her to rehab." Mariana continued. "So, I was wondering if you two would want to join my court for my quinceañera."

"If you only need one more person for your court, why are you asking both of us?" Olivia asked on her voice app.

"Well, if you both want to do it I'd be fine with it." Mariana said.

"I appreciate the offer, but I'll pass." Olivia typed. "If that's alright."

"That's fine." Stef said. "Callie?" 

"Uh. Sure." Callie said.

"We'll just have to get a dress fitted for you before the party." Lena said.

Later that evening, Olivia had finished her homework and was deciding what to do with the rest of the evening. She looked outside and saw a basketball on the grass. She went outside and started shooting hoops.

Inside, Stef and Lena heard the noise.

"Is that Brandon shooting hoops again?" Stef asked.

"No, it's Olivia." Lena answered.

"Do you get the feeling that she doesn't trust us."

"Maybe we should talk to Callie." Stef suggested. They went Callie's room, who was working on homework. "Hey Callie." Stef started. "Could we ask you something?"

"Sure." Callie said.

"Um. Is Olivia alright?" Lena asked.

Callie sighed. "I think part of her just doesn't trust you guys yet. And it doesn't have to do with you guys personally." She explained. "The last couple of foster homes haven't been the best and then she ended in juvie for something she didn't do. I think it's just been overwhelming for her."

"Well, thank you for telling us." Stef said.

"Where is she?" Callie asked.

"Outside shooting hoops." Lena replied. Callie nodded.

"We're going to go talk to her." Stef said. The two adults headed outside.

"Hey Olivia." Lena said.

Olivia looked up. She picked up her phone. "I'm sorry. I know it's late, but I saw the basketball out here." She typed.

"It's alright." Stef said. "Come sit." Olivia sat on a bench with them.

"We understand that what you, Callie, and Jude have been through couldn't have been easy." Lena started. "And we're truly sorry for automatically believing that you and Callie sold the pills. We shouldn't have automatically assumed."

"And we know that coming to a new foster home can be overwhelming. We want you to know that you're safe here. And we've already said this, but we really would like to earn your trust." Stef added on. "Even if it takes awhile. You take as long as you need to."

Olivia nodded. "Mariana's not upset that I didn't want to be in her court, is she?" she asked.

"No. If you're not comfortable with it, it's completely fine." Lena said. "It's getting late. Come on back inside." Olivia nodded again and went inside.

When they all went inside, there was a woman talking with Callie, Jude, Mariana, and Jesus. They looked up at them.

"Olivia, this is my Mom, Dana." Lena introduced. "Mom, this is Olivia. Callie and Jude's sister."
