Mia's POV
My mouth dropped open
M- child abuse!!!! He abused you Aaron! Where are you living?!?
A- yes he abused me... I live in a foster home.
M- Did you even bother to find me?
A- I wanted to try but every time I would try my foster mom would let me.
I started to cry.
M- I have lived 9 years of my life grieving wondering where you went if you were still alive. How did you get into the foster system anyways you could have been living with us!
A- dad said he was gonna take me back after so he told me to say I had no family left.
M- why would you do that?
A- I thought you were dead.
M- what?!?
A- dad told me there was a car crash and you and mom died.
M- oh... Can we take you out of the system?
A- I don't know but I would really like it if you tried. Because I hate my foster home. Can I see mom?
M- we live down the street but she is gone with Austin's mom for the day.
A- c-can I call her?
He scratched the back of his neck
M- yeah here's her number.
I read off the number as he typed it in his phone. I left the room to go eat my cereal. I walked into a kitchen of boys. My cereal was half gone when I left the kitchen and pretty much all gone when I got back.
Austin- oh sorry we're you gonna eat that.
He laughed.
I punched him playfully in the arm and laughed.  I took the only bite that was left and drank the milk and put my bowl in the dishwasher.
M- Idiot
I said as I walked pass Austin on my way upstairs to change.
I heard some oooo's from some of the boys.

Aaron's POV
I dialed the number Mia gave me and pressed call. I was so nervous to talk to my mom I haven't seen in 9 years.
The phone rang about 4 times before someone picked up.
(MM=Mia's mom)
Mm- hello?
The line was quiet for a few seconds.
Mm- helloo?
A- umm hi
Mm- who is this may I ask?
A- um this is uh Aaron
Mm- Aaron?
A- Aaron
Mm- my son....
A- yes
I heard a sniff from the other end.
Mm- where are you? Where did you go? Where's your father?
A- I'm at Crawfords house I live in a foster home dads in jail.
Mm- oh my gosh well I will be home in about an hour and I am going to talk to you all about it please come home.
A- don't worry. I will see you later.
Mm- okay bye Hun
A- bye.
I hung up the phone.  I get to see my mother. There is so much to talk about that she needs to know.
Mia's POV
I got changed and the I was playing on my phone laying on my tummy on Austin's bed for like a half hour when I heard a knock on the door or I should say the door frame because the door was open. I said a faint yeah without even looking.
H- so are you just going to sit on your phone in here all day.
The voice didn't sound very familiar. I turned my head to see Hayes.
M- that was my plan.
H- why don't you come hang out with us.
M- hang out with loud obnoxious boys? I already do that like everyday.
H- do you really?
M- yup Austin is like 20 guys combined when he drink caffeine which is like everyday.
I giggle a little. That's not really true I was being sarcastic.
H- is he. What are you guys? Are you guys a couple?
M- No we are bestfriends.  
H- ohhhhh
M- Why do you ask?
H- well I was maybe thinking you know we could go out sometime get to know each other more.
M- that sounds great.
H- awesome!
M- here's my number.
I read my number to him and he smiled.
H- thank you! And you should come hang out with us. Come on! Please!
M- fine.
H- yay
He said as he looked like a little girl jumping for joy.

I followed him downstairs to where all of the guys were. They were playing Mario cart in the living room. They were doing four player because Austin has 4 remotes. I sat down next to Austin who was just watching them play. He put his arm around me and pulled me closer. We were laughing because Cameron won a race and he was doing the dumbest dance that we have ever seen. He was trying to twerk and he did the Macarena to it was hilarious. Soon after we heard the door open and close. It was my mom and Austin's mom. Aaron got up. He grabbed my hand. And with that we were out the door. I don't know why. I didn't even get to say goodbye. Grab my clothes grab my phone purse. Nothing. Not a word. We walked to the house. We got in the house my mother say on the couch and my brother and I sat in the chairs across from the couch. My mother sadly looked into my eyes then looked at Aaron.
Mm- speak

Hey everyone I went to a Shawn Mendes concert today. It was amazing. But the power went out because lighting struck so the show ended early. But it was worth it. I'm in the hotel rn it's 2:30am  I can't sleep and I was so tired before too. I tried sleeping but I can't. So I'm writing. Bc why not. And also my friend is a very restless sleeper and she keeps punching me. But anyways thanks for reading! Love ya
