We did as we were asked and walked into the living room. Grayson and I both took a seat on the couch and looked up at the others. They had mixed emotions our parents were crossed, while Hana and Chandler were worried. both of them approached us.
"Are you guys all right?" Chandler asked.
"Were somewhat ok." I replied.
"What happened?" Hana questioned.
"They kidnapped us." Grayson spoke.
"And that's not the worse part." I stated.
"Why, what happened?" Chandler asked.
"Two things happened actually." I responded. "The first thing is they were going to cut one of our Carotid arteries and they did it to me this time. I took Grayson's place. I also had part of my head busted open and had to get stitches. Secondly, I bled out, but Grayson never gave up, there is only one reason why I'm still here. It's because He gave me two pints of his blood and he revived him."
The room fell silent and Mrs. Riggs's expression changed from anger to melancholy. Her eyes were glistening with tears. She approached us and hugged us both. We hugged back.
The hug practically lasted for a minute or two before she released us.
"So are you going to ground us?" I wondered.
"No, I don't really think that's necessary." Mrs. Riggs answered. "I just have one question."
"Yes." I said.
"Besides the fact that it's the right thing, why did you save Grayson's life that one time?"
"Because of what happened to my girlfriend." I replied.
"What happened?" Mrs. Riggs queried.
"She died. In her sleep and in my arms." I exclaimed. "I tried to wake her up, I tried everything, I tried shaking her, talking in her ear, heck I even kissed her on the lips. The doctors did what they could but to no avail they couldn't revive her."
"At least she went peacefully." I added.
"Yeah, she did. Sorry for your loss." Mrs. Riggs said.
"Thank you. You know she's the reason why I never want to lose another friend." I exclaimed.
Everyone in the just smiled at me, even if some of them have heard this statement before.
I turned to Hana and started to speak.
"You know Hana, you almost look exactly like my girlfriend, when I first saw you all I could picture was her."
"Really?" Hana asked.
"Yes. Even now I still can't stop seeing her." I replied.
"There may be a reason for that." Hana announced.
"Oh, and what's that." I questioned.
"Maybe, just maybe you were dating my sister, my twin sister." Hana responded. "I was wondering when I was going to get to meet her boyfriend and now that I know it was you, I can definitely see why you two started dating, but I will admit it was sad to hear that she passed away."
"Yeah, she was the best. I wanted to marry her and maybe have kids someday." I implied.
Instead of replying Hana walked up to me and hugged me. I hugged back. The hug lasted for thirty seconds, before Hana walked away she kissed me on the cheek.

2 hours later...
I was up in Grayson's bedroom and was just working on my story. It was almost done I was just starting chapter thirty and I must say this book that I'm writing is actually very interesting.

A few moments later...
Grayson came to tell me that supper was ready. I nodded and finished the paragraph I was writing, put my story down and went downstairs. Just from the aroma in the air I could tell we were having barbecued pork ribs, some rice with mushrooms in it, and mixed vegetables.
As soon as I took a bite of the ribs I felt like I was in heaven once again, they were frigging awesome.
"Mr. Riggs, these ribs are amazing." I stated.
"Thank you, Daniel." Mr. Riggs responded.
"You're welcome." I said.
After twenty minutes of eating I went back upstairs, washed my hands and wiped my mouth. I then returned to Grayson's bedroom and continued to work on my novel. By bedtime It was finished, my novel was complete. All it needs now is to be edited and revised. But I could worry about all that tomorrow.
A few minutes later Grayson had entered the room, I looked at him and was wondering why his head was hung.
I sat up and turned so I was facing him.
"Grayson. Is everything all right?" I asked.
Grayson didn't respond.
"Grayson, answer me. Is everything all right?" I asked, again.
"Y-yeah, it's just that..." Grayson started.
"Just what? It's all right, you can tell me." I assured him.
"Are you sure you want to know?" Grayson wondered.
"I'm sure." I answered.
"It's about your dad." Grayson added.
I sighed. "Did he escape again?"
"No. It's much more serious." Grayson informed me.
Grayson came and sat down beside me. He looked at me, I looked at him.
"Come on Grayson, tell me. Please!" I begged.
"He committed Suicide." Grayson stated. "It was on the news. I just thought that you had a right to know."
"Thank you Grayson." I said.
"You're welcome." Grayson exclaimed.
That night I wasn't sure if I wanted to sleep or not, so I worked on editing and revising my novel for at least two and a half hours, in my opinion I could see nothing wrong with it so far. I put my story away and then got back into bed and just stated at the ceiling until I fell asleep.
