Chapter 23

Jaden

Now I'm feeling like a complete ass, for acting out with Simon. I mean he was only showing his concern for me. I know he could off see the emotions and the worry in my eyes and yet I shut him out again.

As I walked onto the house, the loudest person ran and screamed my name. Jadennnnnnnnnn......... I covered my ears from the deafening scream followed by hugs and kisses all over my face.

Izzy? I questioned, the last time I saw her she was a snotty brat and was all bitchy. God she also had transformed beautifully. I pushed her out at arm's length and twirled her around just admiring her.

My eyes connected with those of James, and man I was blown away, he had gotten taller and was packing some muscles. I pulled him into a brotherly hug. Gosh imagine the oldest of us and I have to slightly tip to hug him.

My gosh! look at you both, it's been like forever. We all stood there looking at each other James had a smirk playing on his lips and Izzy had her smile on full blast and I know something was up.

Guys, what with the looks, I asked?

You and Simon huh, Izzy stated not so formally. I blushed crimson and James fisted pumped and stretch out his hands to Izzy. She sighed and passed him 50 dollars, my eyes wanted to pop out, because I just got the gist of their stunt.

You guys made a bet didn't you? I asked and James laughed and izzy glared at him. Man you guys suck! I exclaimed. I can't believe we are even related. I said with mock hurt.

They both burst out laughing and pulled me into a tight hugs. Either way you love us, chimed Izzy. I shrugged at them both.

I turned away from them and went in search of Uncle Leo; I swear sometimes my grandfather overdoes it at times with these parties.

I walked pass the kitchen only to stop and look out the window to see Simon packing out the tables and chairs. Man he surely do look good bear back.

Ugh I could just ravish him. Stop looking, he is already yours. I turned to see Uncle John looking at me with a smile playing on his lips.

Then what can I do, I asked him. He pulled me onto his arms and held me tight to his chest.

All you have to do Kiddo and love him, every bit of him. I smiled into his chest, knowing only uncle John is the only man to make up these things, things which actually makes sense.

Its sad to see you both go, far away from us Kiddo, especially you. You know the place won't be the same without you or Simon. I know he was still trying his best to convince me not to go out of state, but this papa bear of mines will surely find a way for me to change my mind.

Kiddo, I have watched you grown from a child to a young man, I am truly proud of both you and Simon. I am also proud to call you my own, not by blood but as a man I raised in my house.

I'll tell you this, when you go to Yale make the best of it, make it the most memorable, have fun and live life. Yes, don't ask how I know but I found the letter on your bed, also the school called for you one evening to confirm if you are attending this fall.

I pulled back and looked up at him, in shock not because he snooped in my room but the fact that they all knew and truth is I never confirmed. He had tears in his eyes and I know right there and then Uncle John and won my heart, he had changed my mind because he was and is always there and like he pounds in my head that "family is where home is at"

The tears that I was holding back all the time came pooling out. I grabbed onto him and cried:

I cried because he was correct about family, I cried because he was right about friends, I cried because he was the only man that could make me change my mind and I am ever so greatful fir him and uncle Leo.
