Some How...Callies P.O.V

Chapter six: Now What?

I woke up to a beam of sun light flashing in my eyes and I groaned loudly. Turning over to resist the flashing light I nearly fell off my bed. That was not worth the heart pounding moment this morning. Everyone must have been up before me because I heard scattering foot steps coming from downstairs. I looked at my phone to see that it was 7:29 am. I slipped on a simple style and threw my back pack on my shoulder. Everything seems suspicious. Once I came down the stairs everyone but Stef and Lena left for school, with out me.

I turned into the kitchen where Stef and Lena had just paused their conversation. "Morning love. Want some breakfast?" Stef questioned as I nodded my head

"Umm why did everyone leave so early." I pleaded to know the answer.

"Come sit sweet heart. We need to talk." Lena seemed really worried and concerned. I hope they don't know about me and Brandon. I thought as my heart sank to the bottom of my stomach.

Stef handed me a plate if eggs bacon and pancakes. "Caroline suggested you stay in a group home for a while." Stef choked on her words.

My eyes widened at the words "group home". Caroline was my group leader I switched to last month. "What why?!" My voice began to get louder.

"She has noted that you haven't been participating in group. By putting you in a group home you would not be able to use a cell phone. There for you really don't have much to do. They will teach you responsibilities and how to commit yourself into talking to others that struggle in different ways. You might be able to make friends with some one. So Caroline believes that you should go. And well we do too." Lena's explanation blew my mind. I had lost my appetite and pushed my plate forward.

"So when do I leave?" Tears began to slowly torture me. But I held them back.

"Saturday. But it's not forever. It's just until you start to commit and open up a little." Stef said swallowing her breath as I choked on mine.

"Can I be excused?" I begged still trying to hold back what was about to flood out of my eyes. Lena nodded and I grabbed my bag and ran out the door heading my way to school I let my tears loose.

Is it such a problem that I don't commit? I hate opening myself to people and other people who I don't even know who they are, don't deserve to know my business. My thoughts ran too quick in my head I began to panic.

Jude is finally recovered after two weeks and I have to deal with this. I could see Mariana and Brandon walking from a faint site. With out thought my feet were moving faster then my mind and I was catching up to them. "So what was that about?" Mariana asked. I wasn't sure how to respond. I wasn't sure if she knew or not.

"Oh the talk with moms? Yea nothing I-I forgot to do the dishes last night that's all." I knew I lied. But it was for the best. I'll just tell her later.

Brandon and I stayed back a few steps so Mariana and Jesus could be in front of us. When it came to the right distance, I looked up at Brandon and decided to tell him first. "So umm. Well I mean. Umm." I stuttered a lot. I didn't think that it would be this difficult. "Well I talked to moms because they are umm. Well it's only for a while not forever. But they are umm." I can't do this. If I tell him it's going to worry him. Not to mention it will destroy his mind.

"Callie what spit it out. Your scaring me." He managed to some how say under the same breath and his eyes were filled with sorrow.

"There sending me to a umm group home." I looked the opposite direction so I could avoid his facial expression but I couldn't resist to see his reaction. I regretted looking back after I told myself not to.

Our bodies paused and I looked into his eyes for the first time this morning and I was once again in a trance. He moved forward slowly only to notice that he had already wrapped his arms around my body. My arms wrapped them selves around him and I kissed his cheek just missing his lips. When we continued to walk again, the twins had possibly seen everything. Silence stirred in between all of us and it got awkward. We had both blushed at the fact that someone saw us. Even if they had already known. "Oh come on guys don't act all awkward that we saw almost everything. I mean it doesn't bother us that you know that your a thing. So loosen up." Mariana appointed.

School was the usual everyday same old same old. Boring lectures and books. Pop quizzes and people trying to act absolutely awesome. It was 7th period. I have one more period until I leave for home. Talya gave me the same death stare as she always does that made her feel good that she was intimidating me. But she wasn't it was just weird. Know one understands how much I want to laugh at it.

I stared at the clock which was located above the door frame and I saw some one at the door window. Talya had finally put her head down and did her work when I noticed Brandon was smiling at me. I couldn't help my emotion and smiled back. I rubbed the back of my neck to avoid blushing and looked down at my notebook. I never really did my work mainly because she never checked it. Doodles were drawn everywhere. From hearts, to stars, to quotes and random drawings that weren't as nearly good as Wyatt's. I shouldn't be bringing him up in my head. He doesn't even call me to tell me that he's doing fine and he's happy or anything. But it doesn't bother me.

When school was over I stood at my locker staring just wandering my mind around the group home situation. Do they still love me as their own daughter do they only want Jude? It was stressing me out. I didn't even notice that Brandon was standing at my locker long enough to be asking what was wrong. It's been official. My life is forever going down hill. I pulled my bag over my shoulder for the last time today and slammed my locker. We met Mariana Jesus and some girl who I've never seen before with Jesus. Jude had a ride my Connors mom and I hadn't had anything to worry about. Beside group home. It never bothered me about what others think about me. Especially girls. But why did I have to commit? Is it so bad I don't. I mean there are so many people who are insecure enough to do more reckless things than me. Why is it me that needs to go to group?

When we got home, I ran straight to me and Mariana's room and what baffled my mind was that there was my suit case on my bed and a yellow note:

Callie,

We don't want you to think we don't love you anymore. That's the main reason why we are sending you. Because we care about you we worry about you. And when someone worries about another it means that they would do anything to help them. Callie we still love you and we still want to adopt you. But we think this is best. We suggest you start packing you are leaving is three days. Let us know if you want us to tell the knees to the others or you want to. We love you.

Stef and Lena <3

I don't know what to believe anymore. But I hope for one this, that Brandon won't do anything reckless. I stood there dozing off not noticing that I was still staring at the note. "Ooh are we going on a trip?!" Mariana seemed excited.

"Umm no I am." I said fast enough for her to understand.

"W-what do you mean?" Her excitement turned to worry and sorrow.

"Listen. Umm well when moms wanted to talk to me well they didn't complain about me not doing the dishes. Because I didn't them. But anyways up..." I rubbed my nose slightly to try to prevent myself from crying. "They told me they are sending me to a group home because I'm not participating and committing myself enough to others." I swallowed my breath.

"Wait so I'll never see you again? I thought we were going to be sisters. Well what now?" Mariana's voice was very high and she definitely was going to cry.

"Well it's only for a while. Not forever. But I don't think we would be sisters because by being adopted Brandon would be my brother. But hey, you don't need a piece of paper to show that I'm your sister it part if the family. We have sister love. So it's the same thing." I tried to bring up her spirits. But I don't think it was working.

Jesus must have been standing at the door long enough to hear everything. I started grabbing some clothes for Saturday.
