Disclaimer I do not own The Fosters

It was Sunday morning as Marianna came down for breakfast before heading to church. She stopped in the living room when she saw her moms talking to Brandon.

"Brandon are you sure about this?" asked Lena.

"Yeah I think it'll be good for me, I already know some people and who knows I might not need to go to Julliard" chuckled Brandon.

"Is this what you want?" asked Stef.

"No I want to go to Julliard, I don't want to work at that crappy fast food place, I don't know how Callie did it" said Brandon.

"Well Callie worked part time at the diner and she worked with a friend" said Lena.

"Also she doesn't complain as much as you guys" joked Stef.

"That's because she was afraid you would kick her out" replied Marianna.

"Oh" said Stef feeling bad now.

"Good morning Marianna, going to church today?" asked Lena.

"Yup, why you wanna come with?" asked Marianna.

"Oh no your mama and I are godless heathens, I'm sure just walking in we'll burst into flames!" joked Stef.

"Pastor Stevens says we were all created in gods image and no one save the almighty can judge us, besides if that jerk Liam or Lee for short hasn't then I think you should be fine" said Marianna.

"And here I was thinking Liam was a unique name" said Stef sarcastically.

"Well when you pray later add mine ok" said Lena.

"What are you praying for?" asked Marianna.

"That Callie wakes up soon of course, isn't that what you've been pray for?" asked Lena.

"No" said Marianna.

"No?, what have you been praying for then, a new dress?" joked Stef.

"Um...no I've been praying that Callie goes peacefully" said Marianna.

There was silence in the room. Lena could see the anger growing on Stef's face while Marianna had a look that read as guiltless which only served to fuel Stef's anger. Brandon quickly fled the room most likely to prevent the other 2 from coming down.

"Are you seriously telling me that your hoping Callie dies!" roared Stef.

"Hope has nothing to do with it, I'm just being realistic, Callie doesn't like appearing weak and to her asking for help means your weak, without her legs and missing an eye her ability to survive on her own has been severely hampered" explained Marianna.

"She's your sister, how on earth could you pray for her death!" demanded Stef.

"I'm clearly the only one who knows her, Callie wanted to give up the first time Liam hurt but didn't because Jude need her but now that he dosn't she can give up all she wants, most likely why she's still in a coma" Marianna calmly informed them.

"She has us, we need her" said Stef losing her rage.

"Do we really need her so bad that she has to suffer for it?" asked Maranna.

Stef sat down. She wanted to yell and scream to prove Marianna wrong but she didn't have the energy. A car horn honked witch Marianna quickly explained as her ride to church. Lena placed a hand on Stef's shoulder.

"Are we wrong to want Callie to wake up?" asked Stef.

"No we're her mothers, but Marianna did bring up some good points, if Callie wakes we should keep an eye on her, she might be depressed and have suicidal thoughts, we don't know how she'll react but hope dosn't work unless your prepared for the worst" explained Lena.

"I just never expected Marianna to give up on Callie" said Stef.

"She's not giving up, she's just the first to let go" said Lena.

Sometime later.

Marianna walked into church drinking some orange juice that the driver got at a fast food place when Lee walked up to her.

"Hey Marianna I need to talk to you" said Lee.

"Go away Liam I don't want to talk to you ever" sneered Marianna.

Lee heard the disgust in her voice when she said his name but he had no idea why.

"Marianna I don't know what I did to upset you but I'm sorry either way, I just wanted to warn you about Grant" said Lee.

Marianna looked at him as he talked. She saw genuine concern and confusion but then he said warn you and she stopped listening.

"Go fuck off, don't you dare threaten me ever again you piece of shit!" responded Marianna.

Lee was about to say something when Grant showed up shoving him out the way.

"Hey babe Lima been harassing you?" asked Grant.

"He's threatening me" claimed Marianna.

Grant turned to Lee and punched him in the face knocking Lee to the ground.

"Don't threaten my girl again Lee, in fact don't even talk to her or I'll have a talk with dad and don't forget who the real son is" laughed Grant.

As Lee got up to walk away he looked at Grant and said.

"How can I forget when you remind me everyday"

He then turned to Marianna.

"Be careful please" said Lee.

Marianna watched as he walked away.

"Lee's adopted?" asked Marianna.

"Yup so who knows how fucked up he is" laughed Grant.

Marianna thought about telling him she was adopted as all he knew about her was that she had a brother, a new sibling, two moms and a relative in a coma as no one said Callie was sister.

"Hey so what is your problem with Lee besides all the crap he's done to you?" asked Grant.

"Um the reason Callie is in a coma is because of a monster named Liam" said Marianna.

Grant looked at her for a few minutes.

"I get that my brother is a pathetic bitch but the reason you won't even say hi to him is because they have same name?, oh well he dosn't want your hot ass anyway" laughed Grant.

Hearing the way Grant explained it made Marianna feel bad as had judged Lee simply because his real name was Liam.

"Come on lets go" said Grant grabbing Marianna's arm.

Marianna winched as Grant held her arm rather tightly. She also noticed that he was leading her away from the pews.

"Um where are we going?" asked Marianna.

"Trust me you'll love it, it's a place I like to hangout when I don't feel like going to church" said Grant.

"But I want to go to church" said Marianna.

"No you don't now come on" said Grant yanking Marianna's arm.

Marianna kept the pain to herself and quickly sped up. Grant brought her to a door then looked around. He opened the door and dragged Marianna down the stairs past all the stored items to another door that he opened. Inside was a tv, some dvds, a mini fridge and an old couch. Grant let go of Marianna then walked over to the fridge and pulled out some bottles.

"Sit" commanded Grant as handed Marianna a bottle.

Marianna sat down and looked at the bottle surprised to see that it was beer. Grant then put in a movie and sat down. Marianna blushed when she saw what the movie was.

"Um that's porn" said Marianna.

"What's your point" challenged Grant.

Marianna reminded silent as she and Grant had been on a few dates so far so maybe this was just his way to show her what he liked.
