Callie's POV:

Stef and i walked towards her vehicle in awkward silence. I love Stef and Lena so much, and am so grateful to them for taking Jude and I in, and showing us what a family is suppose to be. But I now know what true love is, and my one true love is the this amazing, caring, wonderful man who walks out of the house with Mariana. "Well are we ready to go?" Stef asks. I glance around taking in my surroundings for what is the last time. "Yeah i am ready to go." I say while fighting back tears. I need to pull myself together because the last thing i want to do again today is hurt Brandon.

We all get into the car, and begin the journey to the courthouse. The tension in the car was so thick we could cut it with a knife, and it's suffocating. Suddenly my anxiety start to escalate, and i was close to having a panic attack. "Callie are you okay?"Lena asks me. "I don't think she is mama. Callie, deep breaths.. In & out." Mariana says. I do as she says, and i can feel myself calming down. Then i feel Brandon's hand on my knee. Instant sparks, and a warm sense of comfort. That very second i knew, i knew I was making the right choice.

I felt my phone vibrate breaking the silence in the car. I look, and see that Rita texted me; this could be either good or bad.

Rita: Your social worker knows about your relationship with Brandon while you were GU.

I knew Carmen would tell my social worker the truth. I am annoyed but also relieved at the same time.

Callie: What does that mean? Is the social worker going to tell the judge?

Rita: Look Callie, i am at the courthouse right now with the social worker. I'll tell you, and your moms the whole story when you get here.

Great. I have yet to tell moms about Brandon, and i sneaking around the entire time i was GU. Today is about to get even more dramatic. "You okay?" Brandon asks me. Instead of telling him; i show him my phone. We make eye contact, and i swear we both knew this was going to get ugly.

We arrive at the courthouse, and i immediately feel like throwing up. We all get out of the car, and walk into the courthouse as a family then i spot Rita, and the social worker. I stop dead in my tracks wanting to run away, but nothing good comes from running away from my problems. "Hey Rita." I say. Rita says hello to everyone, and then she looks at me with those i-told-you-so eyes. "So, something has come up, and we need to talk to Stef, Lena, and Callie alone." Rita says. "Of course. We'll be right back you guys." Stef says.

We walk over to where my social worker was standing. "So it has come to my attention Callie that while you were at Girls United that, and Brandon were seeing each other?" My social worker asks. Suddenly the bomb was dropped, and it wasn't pretty. "So you are saying that my son violated the restraining order?" Stef asks knowing the answer to her own question. "Yes. One of the girls told me while i was doing her interview. So Callie i am asking you, is this true? Because if it is then i cannot recommend your adoption, and i'll have to remove you from the Adams-Foster's home permanently." She explains to me. I take a deep breath in, and try to form the right words. "Yes it is true. Brandon, and I saw each other while i was at Girls United. And we also kissed at the fundraiser a few months ago." I say. The looks on Stef and Lena's faces said it all. They were heartbroken, and angry. I expected nothing else to tell you truth.

"Well Callie i am sorry to say but i have to remove you from the house. But it looks here that your father Robert Quinn has temporary custody so i'll be placing you there." She tells me. All i can muster up is a half-ass nod. Today has been the most stressful, and emotional day i've ever had to deal with. I just want to curl up, and forget about all the hurt i've caused. "Nothing left to talk about so I'll pass this onto the judge and you are free to go." social worker says and walks away.

All i can do is stand there, and face Lena and Stef. All i can see on their faces is hurt, and that causes me to break down into tears. "I am so sorry." I say in between tears. "Callie, i can't even look at you right now." Stef says walking towards Mariana, and Brandon. Leaving me alone with Lena; who has no expression on her face. "Lena, please don't hate me." I plead with her. "Callie, i could never hate you. Am i angry at you, and B? Yes i am. But do i hate you? No i could never hate you love. This is going to take a while to get over." She says as she walks towards me, and brings me in for a hug.

"I am sorry to interrupt this moment but mama you might want to outside, and save Brandon from the wrath of mom. And Callie; your dads here." Mariana says. We pull away, and Lena thumbs away my tears off my face, and walks to find Stef and Brandon. I can only imagine how that conversation is going. "Are you okay?" Mariana asks me with concern written on her face. "I will be. I just want to get out of her, and go to my new home and sleep forever." I say. "Yeah i can only imagine. Well your dad is behind you so shall we leave?" She asks. I nod and link arms with Mariana, and walk towards my dad. A small part of me was actually excited to be living with Robert.
