The drive to the hospital wasn't long and soon we were rushing to the receptionist to get an update, but before we even said anything to the nurse at the desk a large built man grabbed A by his shoulder I was about to tackle him to the ground thinking he's here to hurt him when he gave him a bone crushing hug and A returned it and then a small figure joined in and I could hear sobbing and then A stepped back and cleared his throat and I could see tears pooling in his eyes but he gave a sad smile as he turned to me and grabbed my hand and dragged me beside him introducing me,

"Mom, dad this is Kamela she's a very close friend and I went to stay with her last night so I won't do something stupid and she brought me here "

I looked at his mom and dad and I could see the resemblance he has his mom eyes and hair but his dad Sharpe facial features and body built, his mom was a tiny woman not more than 5 feet by the looks of it while his dad stood at almost 7 feet, they both seemed like they had been crying for weeks and it broke my heart.
I have seen them on TV or business news as a family and they were all strong and always smiling and I actually hope I'd work with or for them one day and seeing them so broken made me feel broken, but I smiled at them none the less and stretched a hand to shake but instead I was pulled into a hug and they kept saying thank you but I just smiled an told them it was nothing because it wasn't, I cared for A and I'd do anything to see his smile again, we didn't talk much after that and we headed to his brother's room, who's name I found out is Arthur, turns out he has seven older brothers and no sisters.

I wouldn'tknow much as they kept all family matters from the media. There's Aries,Alerick,Antonio,Arthur,Austin, Aden,Alexander and Aaron. And when we got to Arthur's room I met the other six strikingly handsome brothers all hunched over in chairs looking defeated and I knew I had to do something to make everyone feel better because my heart couldn't take anymore. So I excused myself before I was even introduced and stepped out and called Nesa and told her to bring her guitar and bring her sister Harmonie and her best friend Symphonie because these girls was the exact replicas of their names they could sing like angels and Nesa was the best contortionist I knew when it came to musical instruments, it didn't take long since as you may have realized this city has everything close you needed including the houses,hospitals,schools and so on which was convenient,once they arrived I gave them the break down of the situation and they were just as sad.

Harp and symp as I call Nesa's sister and bestfriend were performers and they always came to the local hospital or clinic to proform for patients it was surprising to see girls at their age of thirteen not wanting to spend their weekends shopping or talking about boys and makeup but wanted to make people happy, but that's why they were my favorite teens. We quickly make a list of songs to sing and I went and got some food for everyone then we made our way to the room and as we entered the doctor was leaving I was curious as to what he said but I knew now wasn't the time to ask so I quickly gave the food to Aaron as he introduced me to his brother's and I smiled and introduced Nesa and the girls,

"Hey guys, I know this is a really hard time and I'd say am sorry but I know the last thing you want is my sympathy so I asked my bestfriend Nesa and her sister and her bestfriend to come and we are going sing you guys some songs which I hope will make you guys feel better"

They all smiled at that but it didn't reach their eyes so we started to sing and soon everyone was clapping and then joined in at some parts, we song songs by Whitney Huston,Destiny child,Monica, and a few amazing artist and it helped to create a lighter mood and soon we went from singing to talking and syph and harp was sharing stories about starting high school and everyone was laughing and A came and hugged me and whispered in my ear,

"Thanks Amore, for everything "..

And I looked up at him and my heart melted at his vulnerability and I kissed him on his forehead. After that the guys left to go back to their uncle to get some rest and Nesa took the girls home promising to come back and sing for Arthur and the guys, and I said my goodbyes, heading to work.
