What Choice Do I Have?-A Fosters Fanfic

Chapter 16

Mariana's POV:

I definitely wasn't going to do anything right away. Jesus and Lexi made some really good points, and it would cause the family so much more pain then necessary. They caused me pain, but they didn't know it. I can't pretend to love Branon. Brandon is my brother, and that would just be awkward. He doesn't know who I am though. I told Lexi what happened because she said whenever I needed her she would be there.

Mariana- Hey Lexi. I need to talk to you ASAP.

Lexi- What's up?

Mariana- I might have to fall in love with Brandon.

Lexi- Wait what?

Mariana- Long story. Explain later. Come now.

She wasn't that far away, so she was here in like 5 minutes.

"So you know how Brandon's brain is all messed up and he can't remember anything?"

"Yeah."

"Brandon thinks I am his girlfriend and we aren't brother and sister. He kissed me and moms think it would be best while he is confused to play along and guide him along his normal routine."

"So you are going to make out with your brother?"

"That's what I need help with. I am so confused. What do I do? I am so uncomfortable with this."

"I really don't know because I'm not in your spot. Just act as you normally do around him. If he asks you to go out, go out as brother and sister. If you really love him and want him back, you are going to have to do some things that are uncomfortable."

Callie's POV:

I haven't come out of my room since Brandon came back home. He doesn't remember me, and looking at him would just make me more frustrated. I asked him if he wanted to go to the park or something and just walk around for a while. While we were there, I tried to tell him what happened where. He just looked at me with blank stares with almost everything I said.

"Callie, I don't think its working. I can't remember any of this. It's no use and I just feel like I am getting so frustrated with myself."

"Keep trying. We all know that you'll get there."

"Wait so you are my foster sister?"

"Well I'm 18, so I'm out of the system, but your moms still adopted me.

"So that's why we can date?"

"Yeah. We kind of dated, but it was really secretive and you almost went to jail for protecting me. You were like a goody two shoes I guess you would say until I came. I asked you how you know who you really are if you just do what everyone else tells you to do. You told me that you stole a matchbox when you were 5, so that wasn't very bad. Then, you made fake ID's to pay your dad back for the piano lesson money you spent. You did so much more, but that's the first thing you did for me that I'll always remember."

"I remember absolutely none of that, but I seem like a pretty good guy if I did all of that just to protect you. Is Mariana my girlfriend?"

"No. Mariana is your sister. I'm your girlfriend."

"Did we ever kiss or do anything?"

"Yeah we kissed a lot. We always hung out together and had a lot of fun. We always snuggled up on the couches and you stayed at my apartment sometimes. We both had our own apartments which was really nice."

"Do you want to show me how it was when we kissed?"

I normally would have said yes right away, but I need Brandon to remember some of his life. I as much as I wish that the bus hit me, I can't take it back. We will just have to deal with it.

"I don't think it's a good idea."

Right when I finished my sentence, I felt his lips on mine. As much as I missed this and wish that it would have felt really good to have him as my boyfriend again, I couldn't feel anything because he doesn't even know who I am. He doesn't remember anything we went through, so how could that kiss mean anything to me.

"Look Brandon I think we should just go home and get some rest."

"I'm having fun though. I have started to remember a little bit. All I remember is the stuff that happened when I was really young. I remember the divorce and my dad's drinking problem. That's all I know. Maybe as we reach different places that look a little familiar, I will get some memory back. We can go home and try a new place tomorrow, but I think we just figured out the key."
