The New Fosters: A Brallie Story

Chapter 46

Callie's POV:

"Callie! Are you okay?" Moms ask me. I can see the worry and pain on their faces and I feel so guilty for putting them through all of this. Then I see Ty behind them and I feel even worse. I can see that he has been crying and I'm torn to shreds. I've never seen him cry before, not even about his parents, and now he is crying over me. I am a horrible person.

"Yes. I'm fine. I'm not sure what happened. I just went to sleep like the doctor told me to and then I wake up with doctors all around me." I explain.

"Oh Callie! I'm so sorry that you went through that." Mom (Lena) cries.

"Where's Jude? And the twins?" I ask now noticing that they aren't here.

"They are at home. I basically had to drag Jude away, but I told him that he could come and see you all tomorrow." Mom (Stef) tells me.

"Good. I wouldn't have wanted to scare him like that. I'm sorry for scaring all of you." I say looking down.

"No need to worry about us Callie. Now you'll probably be in here for a few more days to make sure that you are okay, but the doctors are sure that you will be." She says.

For the second time I look at Ty. "Have you told your parents that I'm here? Or why?" I ask him.

"They know you are here. My mom wanted to come, but I told her that you were sleeping and that I would stay the night and she could come in the morning. She doesn't know why yet. I wasn't sure what I should tell her so I avoided the question." He tells me.

I feel so bad. They welcomed me into their house and I completely stop talking for a month and then I end up at the hospital? I'm terrible. Then there are the Foster's. I came to their house, what, two months ago? I've already caused them so much pain too. All any of these people have ever done is love me and I have just caused them all pain.

"Hey moms. Could I talk to the boys alone for a minute?"

"Of course. We will be right outside if you need us." I nod and then they leave my room, shutting the door.

"What did you need to talk to us about?" Ty asks.

"Well... I think that I should tell you the reason all of this happened." I don't make eye contact with him as I speak.

"Are you sure about this Callie?" Brandon asks.

"Yeah. You don't have to tell me." Ty says.

"Yes I do. Just don't- don't judge me or pity me. Please, I don't want it."

"I won't. I promise." He says.

"Just listen before you make promises." I say. I take a deep breath before I start and close my eyes as I speak. "A few years ago, I was in a really good foster home. It was the best Jude and I had ever had. Liam was their son, so I guess that makes them your aunt and uncle. Liam was really nice to me and he seemed to understand me. We started hanging out. He would help me with my homework and we would talk all the time. After a while, he kissed me. He told me it was okay and that he would never hurt me. He used to put candy bars and things in backpack to make me think of him through the school day.

One night, when his parents were gone, he asked me-" I pause and choke back my tears. "I said no, but he made me." I take a deep breath and swallow the lump forming in my throat. "After that, he started hitting me and he kept ra- doing that to me. The night that Jude and I got kicked out of their house, Liam and I got into a fight. He hit me. I tried to cover the bruise up before dinner, but I couldn't hide it well enough. His parents saw and asked where I got it and Liam told them that a bully at school did it and they believed him.

They left for a dinner party or something like that. Liam was furious that he almost got caught, he- he did it to me again. His mom had forgot her phone and they came back. They heard me screaming, for help, and they came up the stairs. I don't even know how he convinced them that it was my fault, but he dad and they kicked Jude and me out right then, without coats or anything. Jude was confused and had no clue what was happening because he did what I had told him to do when Liam was mad, go hide and play music as loud as possible so he didn't hear anything." I don't know when I started crying, but I was in full on sobs now.

"When I came to stay with Brandon's family, Liam found me. Brandon saved me once from him, but Liam came again and that time... he couldn't. Liam took me and-" I stop. You have to go on Callie. He needs to know this. "He- he raped me again. That was right before I came to your house. The day that I came home and stopped talking was the day that I found out that I was pr- pregnant. I couldn't believe that he had managed to ruin my life even more than he already has.

The reason that I was in so much pain and had to stay here over night is because I lost the baby-" I shudder at the thought of what happen a few hours ago. Brandon strokes my hair to try to calm me down. Just knowing that he is still here for me makes me feel a little better. "When everything was over, I was told to get some rest and I fell asleep easily. Apparently, I almost didn't wake up, but I did and I'm here and safe now." Only now do I open my eyes and wipe the tears off of my face.

Ty has tears filling his eyes and a few that escaped his eyes rolling down his cheeks. "I'm so sorry that he did that to you. I never would have let him anywhere near our house if I would have known any of this. I'm so so very sorry Callie." He says.

"Don't be. It's not your fault and he can't hurt me anymore because of you two. It's all over now and we can all get on with our lives. I just thought I should explain to you why I have been acting so crazy lately. When I found out, I didn't want you or your parents to think badly of me. That's one of the reasons why I didn't tell you. That and Brandon and Stef and Lena are the only people that I have ever told about this. Now I've told you and I can't tell this story anymore, it's too painful." I tell him.

"You won't have to. It's over and you're safe now. I promise." Then he leans down and hugs me. Liam is in jail and I have two protectors, so for once, I believe him.
