Nightmare of Nick// The Fosters

Chapter 14

Catalina's POV
"I'm afraid something's like really wrong with Jesus." Mariana begins

"And moms don't want to tell us anything 'cause they don't want to freak us out." I say adding to her point

"I just really want to see him."

"Hey."

"He's gonna be all right."

"I promise."

"Okay." Mariana says flatly

Mariana's POV
"Jesus."

"Jesus." I say again

"Hi."

"I snuck in here to see you, so don't tell moms that I'm here."

"W..."

"What?"

"Wait, why? Why?"

*Jesus mumbles*

"Why? Mm."

"Why? What?"

*Jesus mumbles again*

" Why? What? Why?"

"What? Wait, why? Why?"

"Why"

"Why?"

"Why?"

"Mariana, honey." Mom says walking in

"Hey, bud. Hey, hey, hey. Hey."

"Everything's fine, bud. Everything's fine." Mom says reassuring Jesus

"You're doing good."

"Why don't we let Jesus get some sleep, huh?"

"Get some sleep, baby. All right?"

"Get some sleep." Mom says guiding me out of the room

"Listen to me."

"I know you are afraid."

"Okay, we're all afraid, but you cannot cry in front of Jesus."

"It scares him, love."

"We got to put on brave faces."

"You hear me?"

"We all do, for him."

"And you have got to stop disobeying us."

"Okay"

"No, it's not okay."

"When are you gonna understand that you can't do whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it?"

"I just wanted to know if he was all right."

"And he's not, is he?"

*Mariana cries*

"He's gonna be."

"You hear me?"

"I think we gotta get you back in therapy."

"So you can look at these decisions that you're making and why."

"And please do not tell your sister about him just yet we don't her to find out then have something happen to her because she isn't entirely ok either"

"Okay."

"I love you, baby."

"I love you too."

Catalina's POV
*later at home*

"It's actually pretty comfortable." Jesus says
