"Stupid cow!" I shouted back, arms over my chest, mimicking her.

"Dipshit"

"Slag!"

"Why do you pair have to always do this?" Questioned Aidan and he gave us both amused looks.

I couldn't hold it in anymore, I let out a huge smile the same time she did. We both made a lunge for eachother and got caught within an embrace.

"My little Har! Finally home" she cried into my shoulder. Once an emotional wreck, always an emotional wreck.

"Iv missed you Maddy!" I sighed into my whisper. I really had missed her, she was my second mom and big sister. Well she acted more of a mother than my own mom. I guess you could say I was kind of like Maddy and Aidan's adoptive child.

Maddy was 25 and a true beaut. She had long brown hair, brown eyes and a figure to die for. She was Aidan's long term girlfriend of 8 years, yep they were high school sweethearts. She had stood by him throughout so much and they were perfect for eachother. Maddy is also Charlie's sister, you could tell just by their tanned skin.

"If you think for a second that I am letting you walk through that door and leaving, you have another thing coming" she spoke sternly, I would joke with her but I knew she didn't take me leaving very well.

"Yes ma'am!" I mock saluted, which made her laugh. It wasn't until I took in her appearance, that I noticed she was wearing a ring! An engagement ring!

"Shut up!" I practically shouted, motioning to the ring. She soon beamed and nodded. I turned around to see Aidan beaming the same smile. "Shut up!". They all just laughed at me, idiots.

"It's about bloody time you asked her you big jerk". He shook his head at me and we all then drifted off into a living room. It was nicely decorate. Brown walls, a green flowery feature wall, brown couch, green cushions, green curtains, all very nice. I went over and sat on a three seater and although I had only just got here, I felt more at home than I have done in almost three years.

"So, how have you been holding up nugget?" Jessie asked so sweetly, you could tell he was concerned. I believed they all were judging by their faces. They knew things weren't good when I left. The only reason we did leave was because the guy that mom 'settled down' with owed a lot of money to a gang and he got mom involved. Which later on meant running away. I was in no danger, they knew I meant nothing to my mother.

"I don't know, moms still on the run" I laughed, dryly. The situation was just pathetic. "Iv tried so hard to come back home, to you guys but she's made it impossible. Every time I try and run she sends somebody after me. I don't know why she wants me to stay. Half the time she either drunk or god damn high! Which means she over thinks things and lashes out on me. Her prostitution has gotten worse, it's now got to a man a night. Were living in a one bedroom apartment, which is filthy and has barely any hot water. I'm sleeping on a couch and can't do anything about it until I'm 18. However apart from that, I'm amazing!" I finished with a smile. Truth is I wasn't being sarcastic because apart from those issues, I was happy. I think.

All their faces were a picture. Maddy looked like she had seen a ghost, Aidan looked like he was ready to kill, Jessie had a look of sorrow in his eyes, Charlie and Tristan looked appalled, Ryan looked pissed off and Trey, well Trey looked like a mixture of shocked and anger?
