I took Brianna's hand in my own and Aaron's in my other and we made our way back to the house.
I was holding back my tears as much as I could. Brianna didn't need to see my cry.
I took her upstairs to where Aaron and I slept. Then if she woke up in the middle of the night I could help her fall asleep again. It was like caring for a small child.
I got some quilts and old pillows out of the closet and laid them on the floor near the bed. Aaron and I would sleep there tonight.
I wanted Brianna to feel as comfortable as she could, seeing what just happened, it would be racing through her mind.
Aaron and I went back down the stairs, we went into the kitchen. I made her a cup of tea to hopefully calm her down. Aaron came up behind me, wrapped his arms around me and kissed my neck.
"You're an amazing person, you know that right?"
"Why do you say that?" I say with a slight smirk.
"You collected yourself out there, you wiped away your emotions just to make my sister feel better...it's crazy how you can do that."
I looked down, my eyes now filling with tears.
"Hey, look at me." He said lifting up my chin.
I looked into his eyes.
"You're beautiful." And as he said that he wiped away a tear that had fallen and he kissed me.
"I love you."
"Aaron?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you too."
