lost - the fosters

lost

*rileys pov*

we were walking into the living room as lena passed stef in the kitchen.

"everything okay love?" she asked.

"no, you might want to come in here for this." lena said.

she followed and we all sat down.

"can anybody explain what's going on?" lena asked.

"riley was trying to OD on her medication, again." callie said.

"that's not even true!" i said.

"what do you mean, again? she just got them!" lena said.

"maybe you tell them, riley. oh wait should i say roseanne? another thing you haven't told them the whole two days you were here."

"callie that's enough!" stef screeched.

"do you remember when you asked me if i knew callie?"

"yes!" stef and lena both said, while looking at callie.

"well truth is i do.

my palms began to sweat and my eyes began to water but i held back the tears.

we uh use to foster callie. everything was good for awhile until i started to notice what was going on. my older brother, liam was using her and taking advantage of her. i couldn't do anything to stop, as much i wanted to, i couldn't.

a tear came down my eye.

the night callie got raped, i was there. I knew everything that was happening. liam said if i said anything about it, he would tell our parents that i was always trying or wanting to OD my medication. which is true.

i began to cry.

only because everything i do is a mistake and im afraid of my own brother. liam made me lie about the fact that it was his fault callie got taken out of our home. and same thing with sarah, except i lied about telling them.

"sarah? callie, isn't that - ?" stef asked callie.

"yes it is" callie said back.

"liam recently got out of jail and sarah has been living with us ever since callie left. even with liam in jail, sarah was still there. and it's so hard -

i began to cry some more.

i guess i am just lost waiting to be found. it's so hard fearing my brother and always having to lie to my parents, or liam,

i paused.

he, would hurt me."
