Changing Course ( a Brallie/Foster Fanfiction)

Chapter 4: Old friends?

Callie's POV

I pack all my stuff up in 2 large duffle bags. Footprints come from the stairs and get closer to my ear.

"I'm sorry.", A voice calls from behind me.

I shake my head and turn around. Brandon.
"For what? you didn't do anything", I answer.

" Well I-"

"No, literally nothing" ,I interrupt him as I get my bags and leave the room.

When I get downstairs I give Mariana and Jesus a hug. Stef and Lena both approach me and give a big hug.

"I'm sorry", Stef whispers in my ear.

They grab away and rub my shoulder.Next to them is Brandon,who look to my with pity from his eyelashes. Jude comes up to me sobbing,breaking my heart.My eye start to slightly water as I give him a big hug and a kiss on the head. I look at his eyes,take a deep breath, and head toward the door. I turn away one more time looking at them. My family.

Outside,Robert and Jill stand in front of a limo.
"How could you? You took me away from them! They were my family!",I practically shout at them.

"Callie, I'm sorry but you are my daughter." ,Robert said.

"No, no I'm not. I'm there daughter.They toke me in and cared for me. You! You haven't done a thing"

"No matter what I am still your father...I almost lost a daughter last month and I'm not going to lose you either.", he responded.

Jill just stood there with a fake smile while Robert was trying to warm up to me , almost smiling.

"Well I don't really have a choice do I. Its all been decided for me.",I say while I get in the limo.

We drive away in silence, while I stare one last time at the Fosters house. Soon we arrive at the Quinn's household. As I exit the limo with my 2 duffle bags, I'm greeted by Sophia.

"Here let me help you with that", she says with a big,bright smile and grabs one of my bags.

"I'm so happy! We are going to be a family!!", She exclaims from pure happiness.

I couldn't tell if she meant it. I mean 3 moths ago she said she was happy and look how that turned out.

-Brandon's POV

The whole family stayed there.Silent.Shocked.Jude finally moved by slowly going up the stairs not making a single peep. Stef starts to follow him but Lena stops her by placing her hand on her shoulder.

"Can they really do that? Did Callie really just get adopted?",Mariana asked .

"Yes, they really can.Callie just has to sign the last paper.And even then she doesn't have much of a choice.",Lena responded.

My phone starts to ring. I quickly go out the back door leaving the family to discuss what just happened. Closing the door behind me and walking a little farther into the backyard, I see the Caller ID: Lou.

"Hey", I say answering the call.

"Hey, um where are you.?", she replies over the phone.

"What?"

"Don't you remember? We had another date tonight"

"Oh,Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. Something crazy an hectic came up with the family..."

I hear her sigh over the phone.

"I'm sorry.Its just tha-"

"No, you know what it's fine"

"What?"

"Yea, it's fine.I mean it's not like you stand me up often"

"I'm so sorry.I'll make it up I promise."

"Okay,I'll see you tomorrow. Bye"

"Bye"

It's was our 4th date. Or I guess suppose to be our forth date. The day after Callie and I kissed , Lou asked me out. I was going to ask her but she was pretty straight forward. I've always felt feelings for Callie but she was going to get adopted and she was going to be my sister. We swore never to each other give up. She didn't give up on me but encourages me into the band.Who would have I been if I kissed her back,loved her, and just let her give up. Although now I don't know what's going to happen. Could she still get adopted? It was true she was almost 18.... With Lou, however, I don't really know how I feel with her. I'm not sad but then again not completely pleased. Maybe the connection just has to grow. ----------------------------------------------------
