"I explained to you what happened, now it's your turn" I said looking at him.

"Okay come with me, I don't want anyone else to over hear" he whispered, i nodded.

"Hey Paigey can you watch them for a little, maybe take them back to the hotel and let them take a nap?" I asked, she nodded and walked off with them.

"Follow me, I know the area well we had a house here when I was younger and I loved to explore" he grabbed my hand and I followed him into the woods.  

We came to this pond with a long deck sort of thing, we walked out on it and sat at the end, with our legs dangling off.  His feet were in the water, but I was too short to reach the water.  We turned to face each other.

"Okay so my Dad left us when I was younger and my mom forced me to dance.  I mean I love dancing, but she expects so much from me.  She doesn't love me and do not tell me she does, because I know she doesn't.  She loves her job, not me.  My Aunt loved me more than my mom, but she died last week, the only person who cared about me died and my mom wouldn't even allow me to go to her funeral" he said, he wasn't crying, but I could tell he felt like crying.  He was tough like me, I could tell he never cried in front of people.

 I wrapped my small arm around his shoulders.  "I care about you" I said, he looked down at me.

"Really?" he asked.

"Like the brother I never had" I smiled.

"I care about you also, you know you can always come to me no matter what" he said.

"And you can always come to me too" I smiled.

"I know" he said.

"It's getting late" I said.

"Yeah, we should go" he said standing up.

"But first" he said pushing me in before I had a chance to get up.

"ANDREW MILLER" I yelled, he was rolling on the deck laughing.

"You're dead" I sneered, my arms were too short to get out using the deck.

"Help me" I whined.

"Fine" he laughed and held a hand out towards me.

I grabbed it and pulled him in.  He surfaced and I smirked.

I noticed how dark it was.

"Let's go" I laughed.  Andrew lifted me up and I grabbed onto the deck and pulled myself onto it, he did the same and we walked back to the hotel.

"Goodnight" he smiled as I reached my door.

"Night, sit by me on the plane tomorrow?" I said.

"Duh" he smiled hugging me.

He pulled away and I saw Josh staring at us, I smirked and Andrew walked away.  I walked into the room I shared with Paige and Brooke.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOUNG LADY" Brooke scolded me.

"And why are you wet?" Paige asked coming into view.

"We walked to this pond in the woods and Andrew pushed me in" I said.

"Hold up does somebody have a crush?" Brooke asked me.

"No, I like him as a brother" I defended.

"MHM sure" Paige laughed.  I rolled my eyes at them.

"Well Maddie and Addie will not go to sleep, they've been asking about you" she informed me, I sighed and walked into their room.

"Hey babies" I smiled.  The ran and hugged me.

"Why don't we go to sleep now" I said, they nodded and climbed into bed.

"Night love you" I said walking out of their room.

"Well I am gonna take a shower" I informed Brooke and Paige.  They nodded.

The next day we had to get up at three and leave by 3:30, the plane left at 4:00.

I groaned, rolling out of bed.  I changed into running shorts and a t-shirt.  I carefully picked my sisters up, I didn't want to wake them.

"Can you grab our bags?" I asked Brooke and Paige, they nodded.

We walked downstairs, where everyone was, Andrew walked up to me.  Maddie and Addie were still asleep in my arms.  

"Want me to hold them?" Kelly asked me, I shook my head no, they were fine and if I moved them, they would surely wake up.  

"MIss Abby we can all stay at my house in California, my mom said she gave it to me" I said.

"Then we'll do that, is there enough rooms?" she asked.

"Yes it was a mansion" I laughed and she smiled.

"Great we will be staying in Cali for three weeks" Everybody clapped.

When we boarded the plane, I sat at a window seat and Andrew sat beside me.

Maddie and Addie were still fast asleep, which shocked me.

Paige and Brooke sat in front of us.

"How are they still asleep?" Andrew asked me.

"I have no idea" I laughed.

"They look like you" he said.

"Well they are my sisters" I said.

"They love me so much and they have to have me in order to go to sleep at night" I sighed.

"I shouldn't have to be a parent to them, ya know I love them but like I don't want to have to take care of them" I said.

"Yeah I understand, you shouldn't have to" Andrew said, I leaned my head on his shoulder and drifted off to sleep.

I woke up when I felt my sisters stir in my arms.

 I opened my eyes and saw Andrew also awake, Maddie's eyes fluttered open and then Addie's did.

 "Hey babies" I smiled and Andrew looked at them.

 "Hungry" Maddie whined, I sighed.

 "I'll get the bag" Andrew stood up and opened the overhead compartment grabbed their carry on bag.  He sat back down and placed the bag in his lap.

 "Can you hand me their apples and carrots?" I asked, he nodded, I was a vegetarian and so were they.  We eat healthy foods.

 I handed them each a container and they started eating.  I smiled.

 "Okay so Andrew you want to help me surprise my old friends?" I asked him.

 "Of course" he smiled.
