The New Fosters: A Brallie Story

Chapter 13

Callie's POV:

"Start explaining," Stef repeats. She glances down to Brandon and my's hands that are still locked together. Oh no.

I pull my hand away from Brandon's and step in front of him. "Stef, Lena. I will explain everything, but I can't do it here with everyone in the house... especially not Jude."

They look confused and I would be too if I were them, but they say okay anyway. "Fine. I will go tell Jesus and Mariana to take Jude for ice cream or something," Stef says.

"Thank you," I say back.

I give Brandon a worried look. He turns to me, puts his hands on my shoulders, and looks me directly in the eyes. "It will be okay, I promise. Just tell them. They might be able to help," he said. He doesn't think I'm going to tell them about us, right? No.

"What is going on between you two?" Lena say. I forgot she was there and so did Brandon by the look on his face.

"Nothing, mom. It's just that Callie already told me what she's going to tell you, but nothing is going on between us," he said. I have to say that that was pretty quick thinking.

I hear the front door close and Stef comes in, "okay now to you two. How about we go into the living room and then you can start." We nod and walk to the living room.

I sit down on the couch and Brandon sits next to me. Then Stef and Lena sit in the chairs across from us. I take a deep breath. "Jude and I have only had one other good foster home aside from this one, but we got kicked out of that one. There was one other kid there, he was a couple years older than me and he was my foster parents son. He was really nice to me and seemed to understand me. We started hanging out and becoming friends. Until one day he kissed me. I had already let all of my guards down with him and, after a lot of persuading, gave into him and we started dating. If you can even call it that. Nothing really changed between us except he would kiss me sometimes."

I can't believe I'm telling them this. I already told Brandon, isn't that enough. Not if I want Jude and I to stay here. "One day his parents were gone and we were just hanging out in his bedroom. He-" I stop and try to choke back my tears.

Brandon rubs my back in big circles trying to calm me down. "It's okay. It'll be okay," he whispered.

I look into his eyes and he smiles reassuringly back at me. Then I continue, "he wanted to go a lot farther than I did, but he was much stronger than me." Tears come streaming down my face. "He- he raped me." After I say it I burry my head into Brandon's chest.

He continues to rub my back. "Do you want me to tell them the rest?" He asks me. I nod and he continues my story. "Then when his parents found out they kicked Callie and Jude out of the house. They thought it was her fault and that their son was innocent. There son's name was Liam."

I hear both Stef and Lena gasp. "Like the Liam that just left our house?" Stef asked.

"Yeah. That's him," Brandon says.

I pull away from Brandon and wipe my tears. I look at Lena and Stef. "When I came here and everyone was so nice to me, especially when Brandon was nice to me, it reminded me of that. But Brandon is very persistent, as you well know," they laugh and nod, "and I gave in and let him be my friend because frankly I need a friend and he is nothing like Liam.

Brandon and I got into a small fight, like friends do, because of Wyatt. I know everybody knew we were fighting. Then Mariana got invited to a party and the three of us went. I was upstairs taking pictures when I saw him. He came up the stairs, grabbed my arm, and wouldn't let me go. He dragged me into a room, but Brandon stopped him. They got into a fist fight and Brandon got Liam on the ground. When Liam didn't hop right back up, we got Mariana and left.

We got home and we all went to bed. I saw my phone's screen light up. I had taken a picture of the tree in the back yard and put it on Instagram. Someone had commented on it and said that they knew it was the tree from my backyard and that I took it from my bedroom window. I looked through their pictures and found out it was Liam. I was really scared and now Brandon was involved, so I went to his room and showed him. He tried to comfort me and I guess we made up," I finished and looked up at them.

Lena came and sat down next to me "I'm sorry that happened to you," she said.

"So you two are just friends?" Stef asked. Brandon and I share a quick glance at each other and nod.
