We walk in silence and enter the little home. I look around. It's all destroyed. The wall before us is  totally destroyed and I could see that it was a kid's bedroom. It's Aaron's childhood house. I turn around really quickly and Aaron's face is at 10 cm from mine. I want to say something but nothing comes to my mind. I look in his eyes and I see that he is holding his tears. I can't bear to see him like this. In a second, I wrap my hands around him and hug him tight. At first, he seems surprised but soon enough he hugs me back and I can hear him crying in silence. I don't really know him, but from what I have seen, he doesn't show his emotions or talk to anyone. So what makes me special? I close my eyes and when I open them up, Aaron is no longer next to me. I want to start to search him but when I rise my head I see that the wall is back in place and photos are hanging on the walls. And now I realize. I'm back in Aaron's head. I enter the room and I see Aaron and that girl playing on the floor. I go next to them and sit down and watch them play. We stay like this for some minutes, but then I hear the door of the house shut and screams make their way to our ears. Two people arguing. The kids don't seem to hear but when I look at them I can see the girl bit her lip with a worried look on her face. Aaron looks like he is going to start crying in any moment. Two more minutes pass and then the door to our room opens and the two people enter. Aaron screams in horror and the girl takes his hand. The man and the women come close to them and I realize who they are: Aaron's parents. His dad makes him to sit up and slaps him.

"You monster!" he yells. I can see Aaron's little face turning bright red, though he doesn't starts crying. I want to go hug him and tell him it will all be over soon but I know I can't. I would only go through him. His dad hits him again and again and again. Harder and harder every time. His mother is yelling at him that he is a monster, that he is a mistake, that they don't love him and that he doesn't deserve to be alive. That was it. In the same time, me and the girl get up. But she actually can do something about this. She lifts her hands and red sparks appear from them. I scream in shock and his parents stop and look terrified at the girl.

"Don't you dare to touch my brother ever again." BROTHER?! She doesn't look at all like them. I mean, in a family with black eyes and black haired parents you'll think that you will have the same features, no orange hair and green eyes. But if I look closer I can see that on the edges of the irises  that they are black.  The parents start FLYING and they hit the wall really hard. She takes Aaron's hand and they run outside. I follow them. But outside there are ten people, all armed, not leting them pass. Leyah, (I think that's what Aaron called her last time) let's Aaron's hand go and levitates some of them and throws them, but more and more keep coming. She kneels in face of Aaron "Go and hide, behind that rocking chair, you will be safe there." "But what about you?" "I am Leyah, remember? I will be fine." She hugs him and a tear runs down her face. Then she turns around and continues to fight the people. Aaron goes next to her and does the same thing that Leyah did with his parents, but this time with 10 people. Leyah looks at her hands in surprise. She can't do it to so many people. Aaron searches something something in his pockets and takes out a small hair clip and puts it in Leyah hand, then runs in the house with tears in the eyes. I feel my eyes closing so I know that the memory ended. I open my eyes again and I am back in Aaron's arms.

"Aaron... I... I am so sorry."

He backs away and now I am the one with tears in the eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"I... I saw everything. I invaded your privacy. I saw you and your sister playing, your father hitting you. Your's and Leyah's powers. I am so sory! It just happened! I can't control it and now..." I can't finish my sentence because Aaron leans and kisses me. First I am surprised but soon enough I kiss him back. He backs away slowly and I look in his eyes. I feel so bad for him. And, in a little corner of my heart, a selfish little corner, I feel bad for me. Because  he, at least he got a family and an amazing sister. I don't even know who my parents are not even if they are alive. But for the moment, I feel happy. And I feel like a thousand butterflies are flying in my stomach.
