The next morning Jesus and Mariana began the long hike to Bill's house. They both knew that they would have to go through some pretty rough neighborhoods to get there and were both dreading doing so. The had only gone a couple blocks when a group of guys started following them a calling raunchy comments to Mariana. When one mentioned how much he'd love to "Hit That", Jesus lost his temper. He spun on the guy who had said it and hit him hard in the jaw. His buddies didn't even have time to react before Jesus had thrown another jab to they guy's nose causing it to break and bleed profusely. While the guy lay stunned on the ground his buddies finally started to retaliate. They came at Jesus all at once throwing swings from all directions. Lucky for Jesus his ADHD caused him to never be still, so while he did catch a few, he was able to dodge most of the hits. The guys however were starting to beat him. It was four against one and he had been hit many times now. Then however, his whole focus changed. The first guy he had punched had gotten of the ground and currently had Mariana shoved up against a wall. He stated trying to kiss her and Jesus watched in horrors as the bastard's hands went towards his sister's chest.
"NO!", Jesus yelled new adrenaline shooting through his entire body. He started fighting harder then he ever had in his entire life. He threw his entire weight behind his punches and also kicked each in the gut or balls whenever he had a chance. In seconds all for guys were on the ground and Jesus was pinning the bastard that had been GROPING his sister in the dirt puching him over and over again. "You don't touch her! NO ONE EVER TOUCHES HER LIKE THAT!" he yelled throwing one more punch and knocking the guy out. The second the bastard was out cold, Jesus ran over to Mariana and took her face in his hands. "Are you alright? Did he hurt you?!", he asked urgently.
"I'm ok 'Sus.", she said obviously shaken. "I just need a moment to process what just happened." then she looked up. "OH MY GOD Jesus!", cried taking his face between her hands. "are you alright!? Oh God you're bleeding!", she said in panic. Jesus pulled her into a hug, ignoring how the action made his chest ache. He took her face back in his hands and looked her straight in the eyes.
"If it means protecting you I'd take a million punches Mari. I'd die to keep you safe. You're my twin. My best friend, my confidant. I Love You, Mariana. and that is never going to change. I swear." he said seriously.
"I know." Mariana said sniffling. "That's the only thing in my life I've always been sure of. You're the only reason I know that unconditional love exists." (Remember they think the Foster's no longer love them) "I Love you too."
Jesus smiled and placed a soft kiss on her forehead before gently pulling her to her feet.
"Now let's go find Bill. It looks like it'll rain soon."
