Tough Love-A Brallie Story

The Last Six Years

Callie's Point of View

It has been the worst 6 years in my life! My little brother, Jude, and I have been shuffled between 6 different foster houses and I have been to Juvie for a couple months during this time.

Our parents just one day packed their stuff and left. They didn't care what happened to us! They took us to the Fosters house and left is there. My best friend was there. His name is Brandon. I had the biggest crush on him since I was 5. I miss him so much! His family tried to help us but they wouldn't let them take us in so we went into the system. I didn't talk to them since the day we left.

Flashback

I woke up and my parents were packing our stuff.

"Mommy? What's going on?"

"We are leaving!" she says selfishly.

"What?"

"You are going to Aunt Stef's house with Jude."

"Ok..." I got my stuff and they left us on the front porch that night and left.

End of flashback

Since then I have forgotten what they all look like. I remember the idea and them being around but I have been through too much to remember.

Jude and I and now back in San Diego with this abusive foster dad, Travis. He almost got caught for something back in Nevada and moved us to San Diego. He is trying to play the good foster father for the neighbors but really he gets drunk and beats us.

"Callie?" Jude says stepping into our room.

"Hey baby." I reply.

"He is going to hurt me."

"What do you mean?"

"I was looking at his stuff and I accidentally moved something. It almost broke." before I can say anything else Travis screams.

"JUDE! GET YOU ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!"

"Callie!" Jude cries. Travis comes in and I stand in front on Jude.

"MOVE!" He screams again. I don't move so he punches me in the jaw as hard as he can. I fall to the ground and he goes for Jude. I have enough energy to get up and hit him over the head with the baseball bat I had by my bed. He falls to the ground and is knocked out. I grab Jude and lead him to the window. "What's happening?"

"Jude get out!" We jump out of the one story window and I grab his hand and we start running towards town. I hear yelling from behind us but I don't look back. I make sure that Jude is at my side and we sprint as fast as we can.

We finally get to this music store and I run in and up to the cashiers desk and a guy that looks about my age is standing there.

"You have to help me!" I say starting to cry.

"Whats wrong?"

"Call 911!" Jude says and I sit down. The boy comes and sits next to me.

"Hey what happened?" he asks calmly.

"Our foster dad is going to hurt us!" is all I say and Jude comes up and pull him into my arms. I look back up and the boy and he is talking to his co worker that just got off the phone with the police. He looks so familiar!

A couple minutes later police rush in.

"B?" I see a older blond women come in and walk up to the guy.

"Mom. they came in and needed help."

"Ok." She makes her way towards us. "hi. I am officer foster. Can you guys come with us?" Foster?! I nod and they take us in their car.

We end up at the station and people go out to get Travis. The lady comes back with a older man.

"You guys remember me, right?" I nod and she smiles. "You can call me Stef and this is Mike. What are your names?" she asks. Wait Stef Foster and Mike Foster. I just look at them and everything comes back.

"My name is Jude and this is Callie." Jude tells them quietly and they give me the same look that I am giving them.

"Callie and Jude Jacob?" Mile asks in disbelief.

"Aunt Stef?" I ask starting to tear up. I see the tears starting to form in her eyes and she pulls me into a hug.

"It's me Callie!" she soothes. "How are you two?"

"Not good." I tell her crying.

"I want you to know we have been looking for you two but they wouldn't give out information to us." She says placing her hands on my cheeks. "You guys are coming and staying with me, Lena, Jesus, Marianna and Brandon. Ok?" she says looking at us both. We nod and she smile.

She finishes some paper work while I explained to Jude what was happening because he doesn't remember anything until after our parents left us. When she is done we leave. She drives us to this nice neighborhood with gorgeous house. She stops and pulls into a gray house with palm trees. I am starting to remember it.

"Do you remember it Callie?" Stef asks me.

"Yeah. We lived right across the street." I say smiling. We get out of the car and go inside.

"Everyone living room now!" Stef yells upstairs. "Come sit." She says to us. The first one down in the boy that was in the store.

"Mom? Why are they here?" he asks Stef. I now know why he is familiar to me...it's Brandon!

"Brandon, you remember Callie, right?" Stef says and his face goes into complete shock. He looks at me and back at his mom. One boy and one girl comes racing down the stairs. They don't look that much younger then me. Also a tall women comes down.

"Who are they?" she asks.

"Lena this is Jude and Callie Jacob." Brandon is still standing there in shock.

"Callie?" B asks. I nod and he comes closer and hugs me as tight as he can. I just close my eyes and embrace my old friend!
