Danielle: 

I didn't even know if I wanted to step in my house. That house will never be the same without my grandpa. He was the one that used to give us a lot of advice. Now he's gone. I sat down on the doorstep and wiped the tears from my eyes. My grandpa is probably the only person I would've trusted to tell everything that happened with the One Direction boys and I know he would've given me the best advice. He would've known exactly what to say and do right now to make me feel better. 

"Danielle is that you?" I looked up and saw a very familiar boy standing by the front porch, looking down at me. 

"Aaron? What are you doing here?" I asked him while wiping my eyes even though he probably already saw me crying.

"I just moved in next door. I didn't know you would still remember me" he said with a small smile, slipping his hands into his pockets.  

"Of course I remember you, we went to school together from kindergarten to like middle school" I said with a smile. 

He sat down next to me on the doorstep. "I'm really sorry about your grandpa" he said with a sad smile. 

"It's okay, he's with my grandma now" I said, trying not to start crying again.  

"I always loved how strong you were" he said with a smile. "Wow, what are these bags? where were you?" he asked curiously, looking towards my bags. 

"I was at camp with the girls, I didn't feel like walking in just yet" I told him with a shrug.  

"Okay, well I'm your new neighbor so I guess I'll be seeing you around" he said while smiling. 

"I guess so, welcome to the neighborhood" I said while smiling too.  

"It's good to be back" he said while getting up, throwing his hands in his pockets and walking off, turning around slightly and shooting me another smile before leaving. 

I sighed and got up. I grabbed my bags and knocked on the door. I took a deep breath and after a few minutes, my aunt opened up.

"Danielle!" she said happily. 

I smiled and hugged her. We pulled apart and I stepped inside. I almost stumbled over when Sally and Sandra ran over and hugged me, wrapping their tiny arms around my legs. 

"Hey girls" I said while crouching down to hug them.  

"We missed you" Sally said with a small pout.

"I missed you girls too and to make you feel better, nobody over there knows how to twerk as good as you" I told them.  

They both giggled and I got back up. 

"Where's mom?" I asked my aunt. 

"She went to the cemetery with Sarah" she said with a sad look on her face. 

"That's where they put grandpa" Sandra said sadly. "I really miss him" she added, which almost made me cry. 

"Don't worry, he's in a better place. He's with grandma now. He's happy" I told her, ruffling her hair.  

They smiled and I turned to face my aunt. 

"I'll be up in my room if you need anything" I told her. 

"Okay, get some rest, honey. You look tired" she said.  

I nodded and took my bags up to my room. I opened the door and stepped inside. Wow, I missed my room so much. 

I threw myself on the bed.
