"Ethie look! "I held up a blue butterfly on my finger. "Its's beautiful , Ri! We should let it go though because then it can go back to the field with all of the butterfly's and flowers." I was a little disappointed but I understood. I nodded and let it fly off.
I grabbed Ethie's hand and ran to the bench in the yard. I sat down and patted for him to sit next to me. "Tell me again!" I said as I leaned on his shoulder, or at least tried to, considering he was taller then me. He chuckled, "you really love this story don't you Ri?" I nodded.
"Ok so once there was a princess who lived in a castle, she loved to sing and watch the field of flowers from her window, her mother and father never let her out the castle because they thought she would get hurt. She loved the large field of dandelion's that were out there. She just wanted to take one and make a wish.
She wished for happiness, not money or jewels, but that somebody would love her. So one day she decided before everyone had waken up, she would go into the field and make her wish while watching the sun rise. She mad her way outside and slipped off her shoes to feel the green healthy grass in her toes."
Every time he would tell me the story, Ethie would take off my shoes and I would run my toes through the grass too! Just like the little princess.
"She walked over to the dandelions and admired the beauty of them, she pulled one up and looked at it. To look at every detail, when she finally clicked it in her little brain she made her wish! She blew gently and watched the little seeds go off in the wind. She sat in the field a little while longer and smiled. She got her wish!"
"I love that story." I said and yawned. I heard Ethan let out a quiet laugh. "It seems as this princess needs to go to bed now too." He picked me up and I rested my head on his shoulder. "I love you so much Ethie." I mumbled before dozing off. "I love you too, my princess." He said.
_____________________________
Oh I miss you Ethan, wherever you are. I sat in my bed and let tears fall from my eyes. I miss my big brother so much. Till this day I look for him. He was taken when I was 8 years old and he was 12. Today is his birthday. March 7th, 1999. Ever since he left I hated this day because he never got to spend it with us anymore. For the past 10 years I have gone outside and blew a dandelion, wishing for him to come home.
I got up and slipped my Nike slides on and went outside. I walked in the backyard to the bench he would tell me my favorite story on. I planted a small dandelion garden behind the bench. I pulled on up the flower just like the princess, I looked at the at the details then blew, I wished for my happiness back. Just like in his story.
Your probably wondering what happend after I met with dad at the warehouse, well theres not much to tell because after I saw the note, I went home and went to my room to figure out who the fuck wants me and why. I only know one person who might try to kill me, he might but I don't know...yet. After the ball I stayed away from him.
I pretty much stayed up all night and fell asleep and here we are. I don't care about anything though today, today is about Ethan.
I got up and made breakfast. I made Ethan's chocolate chip pancakes, with his recipe that I learned by heart. I made food for the others but I just ate mine alone. Lauren and Dad came down, I could feel eyes on me. "Morning." I said with a sigh. "Good morning." they said. I got up from the table and put my plate in the sink. I leaned against the counter and watch dad get his food. "Where's mama?"
"Cara, you know how she gets every year today. Leave her be for the day, we can discuss the note and the warehouse situation." He said. Is he fucking crazy? If he really thinks I'm working today, he is misunderstood.
"No" I said bluntly. "What?" He said in confusion. "No I am not doing any mafia shit today! Today is my brothers birthday and I am going to celebrate him today." I said with my eyes stinging with tears. Don't cry, Don't cry.
"I don't understand papa, you do this every year, you act like he doesn't even exists anymore, like he's dead!"
"Aria what are you talking about." He said said.
"What do you really think papa, that he's alive or that he's dead?"
Nothing. Nothing is all I needed to know.
"I knew it!" I said. "He's been gone for 10 years Aria! I can't keep waiting for him to come back. I tried to find him for 4 years! He's gone Ri-
"DON'T EVER CALL ME THAT." I yelled, you can here pain in my voice.
I heard light foot steps coming down the stairs, I whipped my head over to see a teary eyed mama. I walked over to her slowly and hugged her. She cried in my shoulder and kept saying she missed him. "I miss him too mama...so much." I whispered in her ear. I looked up to see papa hanging his head low and Lauren watching me and mama with glossy eyes.
Dandelion please send my brother his sign to come home if he can. I really, really hope so.

Hi guys. This chapter was sadder and almost made me cry reading it. There are going to be a good amount of chapters of characters pasts and Ethan flashbacks.
If you see this, who do you think was right? Papa or Aria?
