Summary: Callie Jacob isn’t as strong as everyone might think. Sometimes, she needs a release. Contains self-harm.
Callie Jacob has been through a lot of shit in her 16 years of life. Most of this “shit” has to do with her mother dying at a young age and her having to take care of her younger brother Jude as they moved from foster house to foster house. Callie loves her little brother more than anything in the world and would do anything to protect him.
However, it was a lot for a 16 year-old to take on. She tried to be as strong as she could for her younger brother, but sometimes she just needs a release.
And for her, this release comes in the form of a sharp silver blade.
Callie was sitting in the bathroom of the hospital after Lena and the others left to go see Steph after her surgery. Since she wasn’t actually a part of their family, she couldn’t go see the blonde she started to look up to, and she couldn’t take it. After this and seeing Brandon kissing Talya, Callie was about to explode.
Callie told Jude she would be right back and ran into the nearest bathroom she could find. She rolled her sleeve up to see all the healed-over scars she made, along with some newer ones from the week before.
She took a deep breath and pressed the cold blade into her skin.
