"We were on a road trip to LA with our sister and parents. Me and Ethan was talking and laughing and all of the sudden we felt the car flip," says Grayson looking down at the ground knowing his words are picturing in his mind.
"6 times it flip until it finally stop but went over the bridge....into the water," softly whisper Ethan.
"As the car filled in with water...I remember looking around and seeing everyone freaking out. I couldn't tell if it was my tears or the water for now it was up to my chin. So I unbuckle myself and Grayson."
"I looked at our sister. Not moving. She was just floating on the water.......ummm.....
Underwater and the car sinking....I couldn't think right. Me and Ethan got out of the car but......," Grayson stops as he cries.
"We made a big mistake. We left everyone. Mom, dad, sister. We didn't even checked if mom or dad was alive. They could've been alive....waiting for us to help.....reaching for a tiny gasp of air to continue to live so they can think and find a way out," then Ethan starts crying.
"I pulled Ethan up to the surface and pulled our heavy bodies on the dry land. I look back to see noting but bubbles. The last of it."
"No phone to call. Me bleeding from my head.
"I bleeding from leg and arm and head butted badly," added Ethan.
"We saw a car drive by and stopped them and told them what happen and they call 911. They took us to the hospital after that. My memory was gone after awhile but came back after few months. But someone...the memories of our parents and sister names....I don't recall....their names."
"I don't remember much either. All I can think is our sister kind eyes. But that was all. I wished I could see her eyes one more time but I couldn't...." Ethan said wiping his tears.
"We didn't have anyone. So they sent us to a orphanage."
"I didn't want to go. Me and Grayson ran away before they put us there. Now we've been living in the streets. Everyday struggling to eat, wishing for a small amount. Needing money, clothes, life... Then you came," says Ethan laughing, rubbing his eyes.
"You....out of millions of people....you. And you just met us for two days at first now it's been two weeks. I'm still surprise to find myself waking up this morning....not smelling the food being made but actually eating it, tasting it. Waking up on a bed! Not on a hard concrete. Having fresh clothing and actually waking up with a smile seeing me and Grayson....starting a second life that we should've have," says Ethan smiling.
"I do believe we deserve a chance. Everyone does because everyone has a purpose....they didn't ask to end up as they are. And we are thankful for you cammy. We are still strangers....kinda  but we will hate each other so much that we will miss each other when we're gone for awhile," states Grayson.
Cam teared throughout their story. She didn't realize anything of how needy they were. Their just kids....
"I had twins brothers like you guys.....one day I woke up....I...I didn't know why but my memories were gone. I woke up on a hospital bed and I couldn't hear from either ear. Doctors talking back and forth but I heard nothing. I don't know what happen to my family. I was on my own. I went straight to drinking but never drugs. Until....he came along and made me feel loved and have hopes but I caught him cheating and I wanted a divorce. I'm sorry to hear about your family....I'm grateful that I asked you guys to chill at my place, giggled Cam" "And for you guys to say yes even when I'm a stranger. I hate being alone....but now I can wake up to making food for someone. I have friends but it's not the same as I feel for someone to be there 24/7."
"You don't have to worry about being strangers. We like you all ready. And that "Like" will turn to "love"  We love you all ready!"
"This morning was a hella good one! I don't have school today....what you guys want to do?"
"It's Your house."
"Our house..... I don't know. I feel like it's a lazy day. *snort* maybe watch vine all day or the walking dead," Cam said.
"Oh yeah I heard Vine before but never tried it," says Grayson standing up.
