A few days after that we just dropped off my grandparents at the airport. After that I dropped off Lucas & headed back home with Aaliyah.

I walked up the stairs & stood outside my apartment. But saw a familiar blonde hair. I stopped walking & stared at her. She carried Brandon in her arms.

She gave me a shy smile. "Hi..."

"What are you doing here?" I ask her as I pulled my keys out.

"Can we talk?" She asked.

"Sure." I pushed the door open.

Leah went in and sat down. I closed the door walked over to the couch, I put Aaliyah down and pulled her out of her car seat.

Leah saw Aaliyah and gulped.

"She looks so much like you." Leah said to me. I smiled.

My phone began to ring & I saw it was Sophie.

"Um just a sec." I slide the bar over & answered.

"Hello? Kim?"

"Hey Soph, what's up?" I asked her into the phone.

"Me and Ryan were wondering if you and Lucas, of course would join us for dinner tonight at seven?" Sophie asked.

"Yeah that's perfect, Me and Lucas were going out to dinner so why not." I said to her.

"Okay we'll see you there." Soph said.

"Bye Soph." I hung up the phone, put Aaliyah in her room. When I came back I saw Leah struggling with Brandon.

"Do you want me to hold him while you make his bottle?"  I asked.

"Can you?" Leah asked desperately. I nodded and took Brandon. He wasn't like Aaliyah how people say she looks exactly like me. No Brandon looked just like them both. He had both their features. He had Jason brown hair,and Leah colored eyes. He wasn't to dark nor to light. He was just in the middle.

Leah made the bottle, she extended her arms and I put Brandon back in her arms, She adjusted Brandon and gave him the bottle when they both were comfortable. We sat back down in the couch in silence.

"I know we- I haven't been there for you lately, and I completely understand how disappointed you are with us-me because of the fact we're older, yet we just turned our backs on you. I'm so sorry! I didn't know what I was thinking, you have a right to hate us-me. "Leah was talking to much so I just hugged her.

"It's fine. I can see why you guys didn't talk to me." I shrugged.

"No it's not Kim, We all were to busy fighting we didn't know how bad it was affecting Zach. Every time he mentioned you... We all went robot mode or something..." She refused to look at me in the eyes.

I managed to smile and hugged my sister. "Let's just hang out for a while. You could put Brandon with Aaliyah & while they sleep we can watch a movie."

Leah nodded.

Later that night I was now eating dinner with my friends and my family.

"So how did you guys meet?" Sophie asked.

"We met in sophomore year of high school." Lucas said to them.

"And you guys been together since then?" Sophie asked.

"Uh.." Me & Lucas looked at each other. "We broke up for a year and we got back together just as his last year of high school was about to start."

"You're a year older?" Sophie asked me.

"Uh no, when we broke up I went back to Chicago with my grandparents to move on. While being there I was able to graduate a year early." I said.

They nodded.

"What about you guys?" I asked.

"Um we met the same way, Except it was our last year & a year later Jai was born." Sophie said. Jai started fussing.

"Oh he's hungry." Sophie said. Ryan immediately pulled out the baby bag. I looked over at Aaliyah who was fast asleep.

I smiled at how cute she looks when she's sleeping. I looked around the restaurant and saw my brother Xavier out with his friends. Which I knew right away. Logan & Jose. Xavier spotted me right away & gave me a smile. I just looked away and went back to dinner.

After dinner I stood up and put my north face on. Then I covered up Aaliyah, I zipped up my coat all the way up and hid my face so I wouldn't get noticed. It worked until Xavier said. "Hey Kim." So I had no choice but to stop walking.

"H-Hi guys." I stuttered. Lucas stood right to me. "Logan! Hey!"

"Hey Kim." Logan looked at Lucas then back at me & then back at Lucas.

"Kim this is Jose, The roommate you never met." Xavier said to me.

I smiled. "Hi, um this is Lucas my boyfriend."

Logan managed a smile.
