I kept seeing Michael ring me during the night but i was frozen just looking up at the roof on my bed "this cant be happening,this has to be a dream" I said as i heard a knock on my bedroom door "yes?" I said not even bothering to get up and answer it "hey sis" "Aiden?" I said wiping away my tears and sitting up on my bed "yeah" "hey bro" I said as he walked closer to me "you don't have to act like everything is fine you know" he said as i saw the tears in his eyes.

"He told you too?" "Mmhmm" he said as he hugged me "did he give you anything?" "This" he said as he held up a little hand made bracelet "you got a bracelet too?" "Mmhmm" "whats the story behind yours?" "Well apparently i made this when i was little and mum was wearing it the whole time,she said it was her lucky charm but she happened to take it off today" I sighed "i bet if she wore it she would be okay" "yeah me too,whats the story behind yours?" I looked down at the bracelet "dad gave it to mum on their 30th Anniversary" i looked at Aiden with teary eyes "it's going to be so hard living without her" My brother said as he hugged me again and cried on my shoulder "i know it is but we have to stay strong for dad" I said trying to be strong but letting out tears as well "what if we cant?" "Then dad will become an alcoholic mess" Aiden unlocked the hug and gave me a kiss on the cheek "well did you at least have a good time with Michael today?" I couldnt think about it right now but i nodded "yeah,went to the studio,got to meet people,came home" "thats it?" "Yes,look Aiden i cant-" he grabbed my phone "wow! You've got 10 missed calls from Michael in the past hour!" My eyes widened "10? Missed calls?" Aiden nodded an gave me my phone back "you guys are still together right?" "Yes,i just cant talk with him right now" "you two had a fight?" "No! I just dont want to talk to him,i need to process things through my mind about mum" "okay,well I'll be in my room,as always" "mmhmm" I said not really wanting to pay attention.

As i kept trying to sleep my phone kept buzzing and i kept having nightmares "no no no no no!!!! MUUUUUM!!!" I said as i woke up from my nightmare "Sis are you okay?" Aiden said rushing to my room "yes I'm fine,i just had a bad dream is all" "me too" "you had a bad dream too?" "All night" "let me go check on dad,stay in here alright?" "Okay" I left the room with the light on for Aiden.

"Dad?" I said opening his bedroom door to see him sleeping soundly but i had to check if he was actually okay "dad?" "Yes?" He said tiredly "me and Aiden keep having bad dreams" "about your mum?" "Mmhmm" "they'll go away if you think about good memories" "is that what your doing?" "Yes,fight the bad dreams with good memories" "okay" I said as i left the room and went back to mine.

"Dads fine,his just tired" "okay good,while you were gone Michael called twice and i didnt know whether or not to answer" "its okay,he'll fall asleep soon" "don't you think you should at least send him a message? I mean if i was in his situation I would be worried sick" I thought about it and Aiden was right,i know how much of a worry wort Michael can be "alright I'll send him a message" Aiden smiled as i picked up my phone and started texting him:
S: hey,I'm okay i just need some time to think.
"There d-" my phone went off with messages from Michael:
M: what do you need to think about?
M: did i do something wrong?
M: do you hate me?
I needed to reply back:
S: I'm thinking about you,in a good way
M: oh thank god,are you sure your alright?
S: yes I'm fine,just need some time alone
M: I will do as you wish
S: thank you 😘
M: love you
S: love you too
I put my phone back down "okay done,his fine now" "you didnt tell him?" I shook my head "i need him to think that I'm alright or he'll start worrying again" "okay but when will you tell him?" "When I'm ready lets try and sleep again" "I cant" "why?" "I-I miss mum" he said as i looked at him in the eye "i know i do too but just think,shes up there now" I said pointing to the sky from the window "in the sky?" "Yes,here come with me,grab a jacket" I said as i grabbed my jacket and put it on.

My brother came back to me with a jacket on "okay now follow me" "okay" I walked him to the backyard with a flashlight "here lay down" I said as we got onto the grass "okay now look up at the stars" I said as we laid down and looked up "they say the shiniest star is your loved one but the brightest stars are people who past away too" I said as i pointed out the shiniest star to him "see that star?" "Yes" "theres mum" he smiled "thats amazing!" He started waving to the star and i smiled watching how happy he was "c'mon we better get up now" "okay" as we got up we heard our father yelling.

We quickly ran inside "whats wrong dad?" We said as we saw him in bed yelling but then we saw him sit up,he just sat there staring at us for a second but then he started talking "sorry,bad dream" "its okay,we had em too"
