Mariana POV
"Something is definitely wrong with Jesus" I thought to myself as I brushed my wet hair, "but he would tell me wouldn't he, I mean we're so close, so it probably nothing." I took off my sleep shirt and tossed it into the hamper but as I did something caught my eye. It looked like Jesus's blue sleep shirt but it had an odd stain on the front of it. I picked it up and examined it, then I realized it was vomit. "We'll that answers that" I thought to myself, "I guess I better go check on him." After getting dressed I slowly walked into his room and saw Jesus laid across his bed with his arm around his stomach. I slowly walked over to the side of his so that I could see his face and I was shocked. He was 3 shades paler than he normally was, and his whole body was shocking wet. Clearly he wasn't feeling well, but knowing my brother I knew he wouldn't tell me or our moms because of Brandon's performance, so I was going to have to come up with something myself. I walked down to mom's room to find that they were already awake. I knocked on the frame of the door softly.
"Hello my baby" said seff "what's up?"
"Jesus is sick" I said bluntly leaning in the door frame.
"How sick?" Asked Lena
"Very sick I would say, I saw vomit in the bathroom" I said with a sigh. "Well I better go check on him" said Lena starting to stand up.
"No!" I said quickly.
She gave me a confused look, "why not? Don't you want him to feel better?"
I smiled, "yes I do, but we can't let him know we know or he will get all defensive, and besides he really wants you guys to go to Brandon's thing!"
"But we can miss Brandon's music recital for him, Brandon would understand" said seff looking at me blankly.
"I know you can and that Brandon would understand, but since the other two came in the house Brandon needs to know your there for him to, so can I just take care of Jesus tonight?"
Lena looked at Seff with a worried look. "Are you sure you can handle him here all by yourself," she said with a frown "I mean your brother can be quite a handful."
"Yes I know but I think I can handle it, I mean I did keep that goldfish alive for like 4 years remember."
"Sweetheart, Jesus is much more work than a goldfish," said Lena with a laugh "I mean we can hardly control him when he's healthy!"
Seff gave Lena a loving look, "I think Mariana can handle it, I mean they have been through a lot together… Let's just give her a chance."
I smiled softly at Lena "please mom, I promise I won't hurt him!"
"Oh alright" said Lena with a smile, "but I want a phone call if anything happens!"
"Thank you mama" I said smiling and hugging her.
"You're welcome sweetie" she said smiling "but how are you going to get him to stay home with you if he's not to know that you know he's sick?" Asked Lena.
" Oh that's easy, I'm going to fake sick, and knowing him he will want to stay home and take care of me, then I'll just take care of him instead" I said smiling.
"But sweetie you don't really look sick," said Seff "how are you going to make him think you are?"
"I'm going to put on makeup so that I look pail and I'm going to hope I'm a good actor (haha because she is one lol)."
"Okay my baby let's hope it works" said seff as I left there room.
I walked into the bathroom and closed the door. Looking in my makeup bag I tried to find something that would make me look as if I were pail and sick. I found some very light foundation and a median colored eyebrow pencil. "I really hope this works" I thought to myself as I started applying the foundation. I have to say I did a nice job with it because I really started to look pail. For a finishing touch, I took the pencil and made light bags under my eyes. That did the trick because then I really looked like a sick person. "Now all I need is a heating pad" I thought to myself as I looked around the bathroom. After finding it I plugged it up and gently put it onto my forehead. I soon began to feel warm and once done, I walked out of the bathroom. I stopped outside of Jesus's door and took a deep breath. "I really hope this works" I said softly to myself as I slowly walked into his room.
Is Jesus going to believe his sister is sick? I don't know guys, I just don't know!
