Fix A Heart

Chapter 6

"Callie. Please make sure to call if anything happens this weekend." Stef replied as she gave me a tight hug. I knew deep down inside that she didn't want to let me go, but it's for the best. I was going back to an old group home that I was tossed in a while back to help them with a few things. I finished packing my bags and headed out the door.

We arrived at the group home a few minutes later. "Thanks, Lena. Tell everyone I'll miss them." I said, swallowing thickly. "Will do." She replied before driving off. I took a deep breath as I knocked on the front door. "Callie, welcome back!" Dana, the supervisor there said as she lead me towards our regular group meetings. "Look who's back for the weekend, everyone!"

I smiled as I took a seat on the couch. "So, Becca. You were saying..." "Well, I'll be leaving in a few days and my Mother apologized for everything that happened in the past. I think I'll actually have a good life." She replied, smiling slightly. "That's great, really great." Dana replied as we finished up group.

I grabbed my bag and brought it up towards my old room. I cleared my throat as I watched a transgender boy and a girl making out on the bed. "Callie. Would you mind staying in Becca's room this weekend?" "No, not at all." I quickly backed away and made my way into Becca's room.

"I think Collen has lost his mind." I replied before stepping into bed. "I bet he has. Um, I'm just going to go to the bathroom." Becca replied, exiting the room wrapped in her towel. Becca headed down towards the basement and opened up a pack of lighters, once the flames started erupting she tossed the lighter onto the cabinet, as she watched the flames cover the basement.

"Girls, girls. Get out of the house, now!" Dana replied, coughing heavily from the smoke intake. "Where's Becca?" "I-i don't know, she isn't in her bed." I replied, coughing heavily as the rest of the girls and I headed outside. "Becca, Becca!" Dana screamed as she finally found her, unconscious beside the burning flames. I ran back inside to help release Becca. "Callie. You can't be in here!" Dana replied screaming as the walls of the basement started crumbling down. I rolled my eyes as I helped grab Becca and take her outside towards the ambulance.

I stood outside with the rest of the girls in pure fear. "Why would Becca do this?" "Maybe something happened with her mom?" Collen replied. I shrugged my shoulders as Dana came back. "Becca is being treated for smoke inhalation, but she will be fine. You girls can go in and grab your things, quickly please." She replied as the girls hurriedly headed inside.

I didn't move, actually, I chose not to move. I couldn't believe this happened. "Callie! Callie. Are you okay?" Stef questioned as she hugged me tightly. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." I said, before hugging each girl tightly. "C'mon, let's head home." I nodded my head as I stepped into the passenger seat and we drove home. "I guess that's the end of Girls United." I sighed softly to myself. "Hey, don't blame yourself for what happened in there." Stef replied, giving me a soft look. "I know, I dont. I just wish it never happened."
