What Choice Do I Have?-A Fosters Fanfic

Chapter 17

Mariana's POV:

I knew what I needed to do. I needed to suck it up and if that meant falling in love with Brandon, I had to do it for Callie. It is all pretend though.

"Hey Brandon."

"Hey Mariana what's up?"

"Nothing. My life hasn't been very exciting lately. You probably wouldn't understand."

"Yeah probably not right now at least."

"So...um...do you still believe that you and me are you know together?"

"Well, Callie and I went on a walk earlier and I believed everything she said about her past, but I just feel like there is something about you that seems familiar. I just can't put my finger on it."

"Have you gotten any memory back?"

"Whenever Callie and I hang out, I remember something new each time. Earlier, I remembered stuff from when I first saw my dad drinking after the divorce. I have mainly just remembered the biggest events in my life. It's sort of building up though."

"Well that's great! I'm so happy for you!"

"Yeah, I just feel like I have so much pressure from everybody to remember everything. They don't get it though. They have no idea what I'm going through and how hard it is."

"We don't get everything and we can't feel the pain, but we are trying to help you by looking at ourselves in your position."

"Since your like the person I mainly remember for something, will you be the one to help me?"

"Of course. Whatever you need."

I went back into my room to call Lexi because I really needed to talk about my feelings right now.

"Hey. I just talked to Brandon."

In between kisses, I heard "Great! What happened?"

"Wait Lexi who are you with?"

"My boyfriend. Duh who else?"

"I just thought that you and Jesus would take a little break. You know what, never mind. It's stupid."

"No, wait what do you mean?"

"Nevermind."

"Hold on Mariana."

Lexi's POV:

I was really confused about what Mariana was talking about. She never mentioned anything to me. I had Jesus over, and I didn't realize that Mariana would call. Jesus and I were making out on my bed until she called. Jesus didn't realize who it was, so he didn't stop. I took the phone and put it on hold.

"Jesus, it's Mariana."

"What'd she say?"

"Well she knows you and me are making out right now."

"What's the big deal? I thought she was fine with us?"

"I don't know, but she doesn't seem very happy about us right now."

"I know how to make you feel better."

He leaned in to kiss me, and forgetting that Mariana was on the phone, we wouldn't stop until she screamed my name through the phone. I thought I put it on hold!

"Did you hear that?"

"Everything. I think I just need to go. I really needed somebody to talk to and you just took it as a joke. What do you think this is? You leave me in the dark and grab Jesus at any free moment? I'm invisible now and you don't get what I'm going through because I can't talk to you about it."

"I didn't think I would have to say this."

"Say what?"

I honestly didn't want to admit this. I couldn't have Jesus know about this, so I told him to leave the room while I let out my biggest secret ever. I never thought I would have to say this, but I needed to prove to Mariana that she could trust me.
