Chapter 28
Callie’s Point of View
When I left the house I got on the bus and decided to go to Texas. The reason I decided to go there is because it was soonest time for a bus leaving. I am about half way there now. I am so tempted to call Brandon or Jude and tell them that I love them and will miss them but I can’t. If I turn my phone in they will be able to track me. I feel so bad for leaving but I know it is for the best.

When I got the Texas I walk downtown to find a job. Where I got off was a little town that wasn’t very big. I see a hiring sign and I run to the door and walk in. This place is a little diner that seems like a great place to be.
“Hi miss how may I help you?” this older lady asks me.
“I saw that you were looking for someone to hire.”
“Oh yes sweetie! Come with me!” I start following her to the back of the diner. “You would think that people would want to work here at this diner but they don’t. I am glad you came around! Are you new in town? I haven’t seen you around.”
“Yeah, I just got here.”
“Oh where did you come from?”
“San Diego.”
“Wow! What happened there?”
“I just had to get out to protect some people.”
“Oh…” She looks at me for a couple of seconds. “I am guessing you are left because of love.”
“How’d you know?”
“Because I did the same thing when I was in high school. I’m guessing you’re still in high school, am I wrong?”
“No.”
“Well I have talked to you for 2 minutes and I am already going to hire you and I will offer you a place to stay while you figure things out.” I can’t believe what I am hearing!
“Thank you!”
“Great! You can start now and we will go home at the end of the day.” she smiles. “Follow me.” I follow her into the back kitchen. “Everyone this is…” she looks over at me realizing we never learned each others names.
“Callie.” I whisper.
“This is Callie! She is starting today.” everyone waves and she takes me up these stairs. “This is the house, oh and you have to meet my husband! James! Come down here!” she yells and I hear a groan and someone walking towards us.
“Oh who is this?” an older man asks, who I am guessing is James.
