Callie:
I sat Stef at the child's table in the middle of the room and open a drawer in the dresser. I pulled the drawer out and flipped it over to find the blue folder my mother will was in. When I open the folder I found it empty.
I stand up and stare at the empty folder. This can't be happening.
"Honey, what is it?" I heard Stef say and stand up as well, walking over to me.
I throw the folder on the ground and tears fill my eyes. "Its.. not there. But, I know I left it here. There is no other place I'd put it".
I could feel Stef's eyes locked onto me. "It's okay. We have all night, we can search all the other rooms and hide outs and if we still don't find it, we can take to the court".
Stef words put me at ease and I check the other spots in the mini playroom between Jude and I's rooms. She helped until we came up empty. One room down.
We decided to split up and look into different rooms, I told Stef some of the hidden spots in the rooms I assigned to her. I was left to do Jude's, my mother's, mine, and all the hideouts within them. I left Stef with the living rooms, kitchen, and laundry room. After those were done we agreed we'd search the addic and garage together.
Stef started and I stared around my old room. A white shelf pushed in the corner containing all the toys and gizmos I had, not a lot but enough to entertain. I searched the drawers finding most of them with old clothes and some toys. I looked in the clothes for an sign of something but nothing came up. I then moved to the closet, also finding nothing.
I pushed my mattress off the bed frame finding some personal belongs. I find a family picture, a picture of Brandon and I, a necklace, and a poster. I grab the things, putting them in a nearby box and walking to Jude's room.

Stef and I had searched the entire house, including the seven hideouts running through the house. We hadn't found anything and the sun was up. We literally were up all night. On our way home, I noticed the garage door open and figured Brandon had just got home from something. I smiled, hoping to spend the day with him and get my mind of the will. I hated that we didnt find it but I brought the pictures and other things I threw in a box. I wasn't going to give up. I was going back to find it, no matter what. Nothing can stop me.
I walked in, finding Brandon on the couch with an open textbook and backpack next to him and the tv on.
Weird, Brandon always does his homework in his room. I thought to myself as I sat next to him.
"Hey," I smiled, looking up to him.
"Um.. hi" Brandon was bouncing his leg, something he only did was he was either nervous or keeping secrets.
I looked from his leg to his eyes and he caught on. Forcing his leg to stop.
I thought, trying to think of something he'd keep from me but found nothing. Nervous? I doubted it. We're comfortable around each other.
"Are you okay?" I asked, staring at Brandon's leg again.
"Um, yeah. Why do you ask?" His leg continued to bounce. He had a few tells about when he was lying.
"Forget it," I say, pissed that he'd lie to me. I stand up, storming to my room with the box of stuff I brought from my house.
I set the box on the floor, searching back through it. I had found more object throughout the house I wanted but the question just kept floating through my head.
Where would the will have gone? Had someone found it? No. Impossible, I still lock all the doors and the hide out are suprisely greatly.. well, hidden. But why wasn't it where I left it?
I stand from my bed, deciding I'd get a snack. I hadn't eatten seen yesterday and it was almost lunch. Maybe I should ask Stef if they were planning on making lunch any time soon.
I was leaving my room when Jesus stopped me.
"Hey Callie," I stop, turning around and facing him.
"What's up?" I ask, figuring he wanted something.
"Are you staying? I like having you around" Jesus rubbed him neck, awkwardly. I could tell he meant it and I liked having him around to. He was an easy person to like.
"I like having you around to" I started, smiling to make things less awkward in the conversation. "But yes, I am pretty sure I'm staying for the fact that I have no where else to go".
I say a look in Jesus face, something I recongized pretty easily. Pity. A look I had gotten to used to seeing.
I turned again hoping to finally get something to eat, when I feel Jesus wrap his arms around my back and sholders. I turn around, returning the hug.
"I'm hungry, want something to eat?" I smiled, knowing he could eat a ton.
"Im sorry, is that even a question in this house?" Marianna came out of her room, laughing.
"Hey, I don't eat that much... okay maybe I do". Jesus tried, we all got a good laugh before I was finally getting down the stairs.
I walk staight to the kitchen, getting out the stuff I needed to make a sandwich. I hear footprints, entering the kitchen.
"Callie, can we talk?" Brandon started, I didn't even need to turn around to know who it was.
"No," I continued with my sandwich making, still pissed at the fact my own best friend could lie to me so easily.
"Well.." He paused for the slightest moment and I could hear another set of footprint coming our way. " I think we need to".
"Callie?" This time it didn't come from Brandon but another male, and it came out as another question.
I couldn't even make myself turn around, hearing his voice. It took every thing in my body to turn around and face Jude. The moment I turned around, the force from him running at me hit.
"Jude.." I start as tear fall from my face. "We need to talk."
