Some How...Callies P.O.V

Chapter seven: A New Day

It is Saturday morning and I'm already to go. I don't want to but I guess I have to. I don't know what's the big deal about not opening up to people who don't give a crap about me. I could smell the aroma of bacon swoop around the house. I felt un hungry at the fact that I was not going to see what I can finally call family for awhile.

Mariana has been crying all week as well as Jude. I haven't been able to even look at what Brandon's face looks like at the fact I won't be able to see him. Jesus and I don't even talk but I think he had some kind of emotion. I've been acting different towards Stef and Lena trying to see if they would change their minds. But it seems as if they won't. I didn't have anymore clothes to pack (I didn't have much anyways).

I moped to the bathroom and looked at myself through the mirror. My bun that I put up last night is now lazily hanging on my shoulder. I have dark circles under my eyes and I had a drool stain on the side of my mouth. My shirt hung from my shoulder and I was slouching.

After like a minute or two, I washed the drool stain off my face and tried to wash away my dark circles, but they wouldn't leave. Today is going to be miserable. Turning off the cold water from the sink I started to walk out the door to me and Mariana's room. I slipped on jeans and a light long sleeve shirt that was gray but almost blue. I was on my way down stairs which paused the current conversation between Mariana and Lena. When I turned to the kitchen it turned quiet and I could hear Mariana and Lena's conversation.

Mariana: "I don't want her to leave."

Lena: "there's nothing I can do. We already planned her to leave. Besides its not forever."

Mariana: "I finally feel like I have a sister and your taking that away from me? It's not fair mom. It doesn't make any sense."

Lena: "Mariana this conversation is over. I'm done talking. Callie needs to learn to cope her skills with others. Not just us."

Mariana: "but what is so bad mom. What is so bad about just coping her problems with us. She feel comfortable with us. Doesn't that make you feel good that she feels comfortable enough to talk to us about her problems. It's like your throwing her to the wolves."

Lena: "MARIANA. That's enough. Go get breakfast."

Sooner or later Mariana walked in. Looking at me, she nearly nitrates into tears. I looked over to Stef who had turned around and signaled me to sit. There was absolutely nothing I could do to change their minds. Not even Mariana could.

Stef started to speak. "So we are all aware that Callie is leaving. She announced it. We announced it. We are changing our minds. We understand that we don't want her to leave. But she needs to learn to cope with others. And open up to anyone that she wants. Listen Callie I don't know if you feel this way but we don't hate you. We consider you family. Because we love you we are sending you. So we want you to understand that we still care about you. So why don't we make a toast to Callie. Though she will be gone for a while we still owe her. So to Callie." She babbled for awhile. We ate breakfast. Not even the toast to me helped. I was just in the clouds.

When I was ready to leave everyone lined up in front of the house as my social worker was waiting in the car. Stef and Lena hugged me first. Jesus who I hugged next, was only a second. But when I got to Mariana, she held back tears from her eyes and wouldn't let go. "Mariana I'll back. I'm not gone forever. At least not hopefully." Jude, because of his height, latched on around my waist. It felt like forever until I got Brandon. I couldn't hug him for long. And I couldn't handle looming at his face or into his eyes.

When I finally got into the car everyone waves to me. I looked at Brandon through the side mirror and I regretted it. His eyes were filled with depression. His face was a grayish color. I looked away and we were gone. Now I have to get used to a new school. New people. And a new leader. It's decided, my life is a disaster.
