When I got up to Mariana's room I put Callie down on the bed. "What happened?! The parties in ten minutes!!" Mariana asked as she rushed to her makeup bag. "Bill came over and completely took Callie's happiness away." I said leavening out the part about us kissing and me making her cry. "Is he taking her away?" Mariana had gotten extremely attached to Callie in the three days that we were here. "No." Callie was so upset that she could hardly say the word no. "Do you want to stay up here during the party?" Mariana was hoping her answer would be no. "No. I just need a new dress." I looked down to see what was wrong with the dress she had on now and saw that the blood from my knuckles had stained it. "Mariana do you have something she could wear?" I asked for Callie. "Yeah here." she passed me a black dress. "Callie do you want to walk to the bathroom to get cleaned up or do you want me to carry you?" I asked trying to help her out to the best of my ability. She put her arms up signaling me to carry her. I picked her up and then I put her down when we got to the bathroom. "Cal you need to get ready ok you need to put on the dress and get ready." I spoke to her slowly so she could understand every word. She just stood there. "You want me to get Mariana so she can help you get ready?" I wanted her to be happy so I called Mariana over to get her ready and to talk to her. "Mariana help Callie get ready she's so upset she doesn't even want to move." I said to Mariana as I watched Callie stand in the middle of the bathroom. "Yeah I got just tell moms that we won't be down for a little while." Mariana tried to smile. "Ok." I couldn't even use words to describe how bad I felt for Callie. She was so amazing.
Callie
He doesn't remember me. My own little brother. He meant the world to me and he forgot about my very existence as if I was an imaginary friend. Brandon kept trying to talk to me but I couldn't talk. He sent in Mariana to help me get ready she started to say something but I couldn't care less I wasn't going to listen. "Callie look at me I don't know what happened down there or why you and Brandon are both so upset. But what I do know is it's almost Christmas and everything's gonna work out. No matter what everything's gonna work out." Mariana's voice was calming and it made me smile. I decided to say something, "Well then let's get me ready for this Adams Fosters' Christmas party!" Mariana smiled and I started to get ready. "Hey that's a really nice necklace." Mariana said pointed to the gold necklace that used to belong to my mom. "Thanks it was mom's." I smiled as Mariana fixed my hair. "Well miss Callie Jacob you look beautiful if I say so my self." Mariana was amazed by how quickly she fixed me up.
Brandon
"Stef, Lena I'm sorry that I well over reacted when Bill told me my sister was missing." I gave them a sad smile. "Brandon you did not over react. You reacted the way anyone would react at the news of their little sister disappearing." Lena gave me a reassuring look and a hug. "So how's Callie?" Stef asked pitying her. "She's with Mariana so she'll probably come down skipping." I said trying to smile. "We know today we kinda just dropped the whole being adopted together thing on you and we know Callie's excited 'cause she gets a brother but how do you feel about this?" Lena asked. "I'm really happy that I'll have a sister no matter what house I get adopted into." I was mostly happy to have Callie no matter where we went.
Callie
"Wow!" I hear Brandon say as I walk back  down stairs. "What?" I was kind of confused about what he meant by 'wow'. "Wow you... Just... Just wow." I blushed as he explained what he meant. "So you doing ok?" I knew he was gonna ask me that. "Yeah I'm doing fine now." I said as I reached out for his hand. "I'm sorry for freaking out over the kiss earlier." I told Brandon as I bit my lip. "Don't be sorry Callie." He told me as he lead over for a kiss. I looked to see if anyone was watching and then I kissed him. "We are probably the weirdest siblings on earth." I said as we parted. "Gross don't say siblings right after we kiss." He begged and it was true siblings don't kiss on the lips so saying it was just wrong. "Ok but we better go with the rest of the family before they jump to conclusions." I laughed. "One last kiss?" Brandon asked with his big puppy eyes. "Fine if I have to." I joked and gave him another kiss. When we walk in the kitchen all eyes our in use. "Who died?" I asked jokingly. "Oh good she's ok, now can we open the door everyone's outside waiting and looking in hear like some I kind of stalkers." Jesus said. People had been looking in when me and Brandon kissed what if they saw us?
