So this is the first one-shot of what I hope to be many. I would love if you have any requests! Please R&R.
I don't own The Fosters or any of the characters of course, I own only my own words. I hope you'll enjoy.
"Hey, are you heading to school soon or what?" Jesus looked up from his drawing to see his twin standing by the door. He grimaced at her.
"Yeah. Yeah I am. Are we walking?" Mariana nodded in response.
"Brandon and Callie took the car an hour ago." The twin brother sighed.
"Of course they did." He rubbed his hands clean on his jeans and stood up, arched an eyebrow at his sister as he passed her.
"Are we walking together?" She turned to him.
"As long as you don't have a problem with it?" Jesus did not respond to this. Instead he headed down the stairs, leaving his sister to follow him.
"So how are things going? You know, with being back at Anchor Beach and all?", Mariana asked him as they strolled down the street. Jesus gave a short laugh in response.
"Things are going alright. Apart from the fact that I'm not allowed to wrestle anymore, I mean it's just that little detail. Otherwise I'm terrific." Mariana looked down at the pavement, her hand pushing her long, black hair out of her eyes.
"I'm really sorry about that, Jesus. I wouldn't have told them if I knew…" She trailed off, biting her lip slightly. Jesus sighed.
"Well, there's nothing to be done about it now." He must have sounded very defeated, because his sister looked at him sadly.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you lie?"
"I guess I didn't want you to think badly of me." He hadn't meant to say that. He wasn't sure what he'd meant to say, but it sure as hell wasn't that. Mariana seemed as surprised as he felt at the words.
"I could never think badly of you, Zeus." For the first time since they left the house, Jesus faced her. Seized her up.
"Are you kidding me? Mariana, all you do is look down at me, or blame me or- or whatever." Mariana was quiet for a very long time after this. The only sound coming from her was the sound of her heels on the cemented ground. Finally, after endless minutes of excruciating silence, she spoke.
"Well I'm sorry about that. But I wish you'd trust me with this kind of thing. I mean, it's serious. I wouldn't just go around blabbing about it." Jesus narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Okay, okay", she relented. "I get it. But I really wouldn't do it if it was serious. I promise."
"Whatever."
"Well, for what it's worth, I think Moms were too tough on you. I mean you did the right thing. You stopped taking them, went home, you didn't want to go back."
"Yeah well, they obviously don't seem to be taking it that way."
"That sucks." Silence fell between the twins. And they let it fall.
"Okay, so Callie said the car leaves school at four sharp", Mariana said as they approached school. Jesus gave a short nod.
"Great." He didn't look her in the eye as they passed the Anchor Beach sign, making their way inside the building. Mariana nodded slightly to herself, starting to turn the other way. Jesus gave her a look as she departed.
"Hey, Mariana" She turned back toward him, still walking toward the lockers. "For the record, you are a pretty good sister. Even though you're a very annoying person sometimes." Mariana rolled her eyes at him, but Jesus could see the hint of a smile as she turned away. He smiled too.
So, I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Thank you so much or reading. If you did enjoy it, I would love a review or follow/favorite.
