What Choice Do I Have?-A Fosters Fanfic

Chapter 21

Brandon's POV:

"Mariana stop. What is going on?"

She fell down on the ground and just started crying as Callie and I were still sitting on the bed with my hand around her waist. Callie jumped right up after Mariana started talking and I just sat there more confused then ever.

"You are okay. Do you need to talk to anybody?"

"Just get Lexi for me."

She motioned to me to talk to her.

"Brandon will you call Jesus while I sit here with Mariana? I need you to tell him and Lexi to get here right away."

Mariana looked like she needed to say something, but just stopped and cried some more. I ran to the phone as fast as possible and called Jesus.

"Mariana is in trouble can you please come help?"

"Not now. I am busy."

"I might still be new to this family or so I thought, but I don't know what could be more important then your sister?"

"I can't stop my life for Mariana. Why is she always my problem?"

"Can you just tell Lexi to come? Mariana needs somebody who cares about her."

"I'm with Lexi though."

I heard Lexi ask who it was through the phone. They whispered a little bit and I couldn't make out what they were saying. It sounded like something about frustration and not doing what they wanted or something like that.

"Okay I don't have time for this. Can she come or not?"

"We will be there in a few minutes. Calm down."

I hung up because I couldn't believe Jesus was treating me in such an awful way. Callie had her phone down here when it started ringing from a text message.

Vico-Hey babe. When are we going out?

Brandon-Never. It's over. I'm with somebody already.

Vico-You promised.

Brandon-Promises were meant to be broken.

Vico-Fine. Is it Brandon?

Brandon-Of course.

Vico-Could you do me a favor?

Brandon-It depends.

Vico-I needed you for Talya.

Brandon-What a good way to start. Now what is the actual question?

Vico-Will you get her back for me?

Brandon-To go out with her?

Vico-What else?

Right before I could text him back Lexi ran through the door.

Lexi's POV:

I shouted and screamed for Mariana to get up after she fainted.

"Callie where are Stef and Lena?"

"I don't know exactly. They have stuff going on right now with their relationship, so um I don't know."

"Oh I am really sorry to hear that, but we need them. What happened?"

"Mariana grabbed a hammer and started destroying everything and shouting for us to basically kill her and we didn't know what to do."

"Mariana." I slapped her face a few times.

"Lexi you aren't making this better. Just talk to her."

"Leave the room guys." Jesus stayed, but everyone else left. I didn't really want him to hear this, but he wouldn't leave me alone.

"Why do you just give up when it gets hard? You know I'm always here for you. We have been over this and of course I'm not trying to yell at you, but what is going on with you?"

"Do you need me to call Stef or Lena?"

"Sure. Yeah thanks Jesus."

He put the phone on speaker as I spoke to Stef.

"Can you be home in like 5 to 10 minutes?"

"Is everything okay?"

"Not really."

"Is Brandon okay?"

"Why is it always Brandon? Just be here for somebody other then Brandon."

"Don't tell me what kind of parent to be. Brandon is always going crazy over not knowing anything, Callie is always with Brandon, Jesus is always with you, and Jude is always moping around in his room. Mariana is my only normal one right now."

"Think about that a little more. Just please come fast."

Stef wasn't very happy with me or somebody. Maybe her and Lena are getting divorced or something. They are always fighting, but they always said they would be together forever. They were home and didn't stop running once they got through the door, so I followed them.

"Mariana baby wake up. It's me, mom. Somebody call an ambulance."

The ambulance was here and immediately I felt awful about not really caring even though I said I did. It's always nice to have a best friend who looks out for you, but I guess I just assumed she was fine. She is always very preserved about everything.

"Jesus can we talk?"

"Of course. About what?"

"Come over here."

"Should I be scared?"

"I don't know. Maybe?"

"What?"

"I think right now I just need to be here for Mariana. She needs me and I need to care for her now."

"Are you breaking up with me?"

"Well..."

"You know what forget it. We are done. Don't bother trying to make this up."

"Why are you so mad? How could I ever date somebody who doesn't care about his own sister?"

"Well she never cared for me."

"That's a lie and you know it Jesus."

"Get out. I don't want to see you."

"Fine."
