I walked in to tell them that supper was ready and was surprised to find that Sarah was crying on the ground in my daughters arms.
"What happened?" I asked walking in.
"Jess is planning on running away with Sierra" Mariana answered.
"What?" i asked dumbfounded. Thats kidnapping! I never met Jess but she sounds like a good kid. So why is she going to run away and kidnap her sister? Obviously something has to be happening.
"She can't she'll go to jail and Sierra will have no one to take care of her." Sarah said between sobs.
"Sarah it's going to be ok, let me talk to her and we can figure out how to handle this without kidnapping." I said. She nodded.
"Ok… supper is done, we can handle this afterwards. Come down when you're ready" I said going downstairs.
"They coming down?" Lena asked putting a pan of chicken casserole on the table.
"They will be" i said giving her a 'I will explain when we aren't surrounded by kids' look.
After supper
Lexi's mom picked her up and now it's me, Lena (who still has no idea what's going on), Mariana and Sarah.
"Can someone, please tell me what's going on" Lena asked confused."My sister is planning on running away and kidnapping Sierra." She admitted.
"Oh my god" Lena said.
"She wouldn't do this unless something was going on" she defended.
"We know that Sarah,which is why we are going to figure out a way to help" I said trying to calm her.
"She threatened Sarah this morning" Mariana said and Ive already forgot about that. My mind is just worried about my sisters and what is going on.
"It's not a big deal" I said and avoided the looks from Mariana. Thats a very big deal.
"What did she say to you and when" I said throwing Mariana a sidewards glance knowing that despite everything Sarah is still trying to defend her mom.
"This morning she said that if she goes anywhere near her kids it would be the last thing she would do" Mariana said and Sarah shook her head.
"She exaggerates sometimes she wouldn't hurt me or anyone else" Sarah said and my heart broke for her. Her mom kicked her out for something that she can't control and than she still defends her. Her mom never deserved to have such an amazing daughter and i hope one day she will know that.
"We are going to your house and settling this with your sister in person" I said not caring that technically we can't do that. Nobody objected through so i drove everyone to Sarahs old house.
Sarah
I paused and looked up at the house i grew up in, a wave of homesickness coming over me. Mariana grabbed my hand and gave me a reassuring smile. I knocked on the door and Jess let me in, she knew i was coming because i texted her. Mom and Dad aren't home yet and hopefully won't be home soon, I just can't handle that right now.
"Mommy, you come home" she said and tears immediately filled my eyes as i picked her up.
"Hey princess, i missed you" i said kissing her cheek. She was holding on to her favorite teddy bear and she was already in pjs. I put my hand on her forehead and she was burning up. "She's sick, why didn't you tell me" i asked Jess while grabbing a blanket for her and wrapping her up. Her little body was shaking against mine.
"Mom is 'stuck in a meeting' and dad had a 'situation' at work and couldn't just up and leave. I don't know how to take care of her and they both pretty much told me to handle don't even care." she said and i got pissed again. Why should they have kids when they can't even take care of us or even care."
"I hate them, than mom also threatens you. I don't want Sierra to be raised by them like we were and poor little Sierra has been crying for you for like hours. " she said and i winced at the last part. My poor little baby was crying for me for hours while sick and i wasn't here for her."I have to take care of her" i said going into the bathroom to get her some medicine and her baby thermometer to take her fever.
Lena
I watched a teenage girl took care of her sister like a mom would and tears came to my eyes. Why is that people can actually not care about there children? I mean how is that even possible? I put my hand over my stomach and Stef grabbed my other hand rubbing circles on it with her thumb.
"Jess i know that you are trying to protect you're sister but kidnapping her is not going to help matters" Stef said and she was trying to figure out a way to solve this.
"I need to get her away from these people, she should be with her mom and that bitch isn't her mom" she yelled as soon as both her parents walked in. Oh this can't end well.
"What is going on here? Who the hell are you people?" The woman yelled. Sarah walked out with a crying Sierra. She was desperately trying to calm her second she saw Sarah she flipped.
"I thought i told you to stay the hell away from my children"she said to Sarah who failed at keeping her face steeped in front of Sarah protectively grabbing my and Mariana with her.
"We are sorry for trespassing but Sarah is here to help out her sister who is sick" she said and she got even more mad.
"Of course i know she's sick i'm her mother" she said and Sarah shook her head with tears in her eyes
."You're not her mom, you didn't even come home when she was sick. I have taken care of her since the begining She calls me mommy, did you know that? Always have. " she said.
"You're not her mom" Sarahs mom said.
"No i am, you're not her mom" Sarah said and i couldn't help being proud of her.
"All you did was give birth to her" she said.
"Shut up you bitch"
"Don't talk to her like that, she's right. You have no idea how many nights I have spent with her recently after she had a nightmare and i couldn't calm her down and she was crying for her mommy. The last time it happened i eventually called Sarah and after only two second of being on the phone with her she calmed down." Jess defended her sister
."You weren't even suppose to be talking to her, we have had this conversation. She is going against god, why would you talk to her?"
"Because she is my sister and she isn't going against God by being with the girl she loves" she said and Sarah gently rocked Sierra back to sleep.
"They don't actually love each other" She said and i felt bad for Sarah."No thats where you are wrong" Mariana said.
"Who are you?" she spat as her husband just stood uncomfortable.
"Mariana, and I can reassure you that we do love each other" she said and i smiled at her proudly.
"I also have witnessed her take care of Sierra and worry about her obsessively when she's not around. Which is something i doubt you do. She loves her like a daughter please don't make this hard on her" she said practically begging.
"My daughter is sick I need to take care of her" she said as her only response.
"I already gave her medicine and she is running a fevor let me put her to sleep." Sarah begged.
"I won't bother you again, just let me take care of her and say goodbye" Tears were in all of our eyes except for her mom and dad. To my surprise she let her.
Sarah
As much as i would love to fight for Sierra, I know that it won't help her. There's not way i could win and even if it were possible I'm a teenager, she needs to be raised in her home by people who have there lifes together, which isn't going to happen either way but hey.l carried her up to her room and laid her in her crib.
"Mommy" she said and i tried to keep the tears from my eyes.
"I love you sweetie" i said tucking her in and giving her her teddy bear.
"I will always love you and i wish i could watch you grow up and be here for you but i can't. Jessy is going to take good care of you and you're gonna be ok."
"But mommy stay" she said crying. I gave her a hug and kissed her cheek."I hope you feel better and we will be together before you know it. I love you" i said and than after one last look i walked out. I got out of her room and fell to the floor trying to tune out the sound of her i got myself together i went into Tylers room only to find that he left to go hang out with friends or something. I grabbed a piece of paper and pencil from his bookbag.'
Tyler
I know that you don't think of me as a sister right now but please read this. What you heard about me is true . I'm in a commited relationship with Mariana i know think that is a sin. I just wanted to write to you to say goodbye. I Will miss you. I love you
love,
Sarah'
I put it on his bed and left the room still trying to tune out Sierras cries. I went downstairs and walked over to Jess and hugged her.
"Sarah" she said.
"I love you. Please take care of her! Promise me you won't run away because she needs you" I said and she nodded
."I won't" she promised.
"Please don't let her forget about me" I said still trying desperately to keep it all together
."I won't, I promise you. She won't forget you" she said and I gave her one last hug. Jess is the only one of my siblings that this isn't a permanent goodbye. Being in Mariana's grade I get to see her in school and I'm not about to lose touch with her too. I turned around to the fosters family and forced a smile.
"Let's go" I said as emotionless as possible. I need to get out of her before I break down.l walked to my parents and stopped briefly. I hope you guys have a great life" I said and then left the house. I walked back to Stefs car and walked away from so much that I cared about. I hope Sierra has a great life and will forgive me. I hope I get to see her again.
