"Do we know where Jordan or Dylan is?" Matt asked and Jorel nodded. "Dylan is with his parents and other relatives just relaxing and recovering and Jordan has come in a few times with his mom to check on Danny and is also just relaxing and recovering." Jorel told them and they both nodded. "George, where is your mom? I have always seen you here but i haven't ever seen you anywhere else or with anyone else" Jorel pointed out and George just moved away from them both and leaned back against the chair he was still inhabiting.

"My Mom and Dad got into a car crash two months ago, they are both dead" George told them and started crying as both Jorel and Matt gasped at the news. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry, George" Jorel told him quietly and hugged him. George was quick to hug back and hid his face in Jorel's shoulder. "I can't remember anything, not how they smelt, not the words we shared or anything. I can vaguely remember how they look but that's about it." George cried and Jorel just held onto him, sensing he needs the comfort more now than he has ever needed before. He has been strong for so long that he just can't stand on his own two feet anymore. He has finally fallen.

Just then, Jorel's mother walked into the room, followed by Danny's mother and they both froze as they found the three boys crying near Danny's bed. "What has happened? Is my Danny alright?" Danny's mom asked, suddenly scared that she had missed something major during her toilet break, and she immediately ran up to the other side of Danny's bed and caught hold of her son's hand.

"Danny is alright, Mrs Murillo, we just found out that George's parents died two months ago." Matt told Danny's mom and she immediately felt bad. "I'm sorry, I panicked. I'm so sorry to hear this, George, i really am." She told George and George just nodded against Jorel's shoulder.

"Wait a minute George, I'll be back in a second" Jorel said quietly and pulled away from the hug and went over to where his mom was still standing on the other side of the room near the doorway. They spoke quietly and Matt just decided to try and cheer George up as they waited for Jorel to come back.

"How do Chihuahuas say hello in chinese?" Matt asked George and he could see Danny's mom grin as she remembered the joke but decided not to say anything. "I don't know, how do they say hello in Chinese?" George questioned, going with it because he could also see Danny's mom's reaction. "Konichiuhuahua" Matt answered and even George couldn't help but chuckle as Matt and Danny's mom started laughing.

"Damn, Matt. Trust you to come up with something like that" Jorel joked as he went back to George. They decided to share the seat and just stay cuddled up to each other as Jorel could see that George still needed comfort.

They hung out there for a while just chatting and chilling, casually adding Danny into the conversation. At one point Matt's Grandpapa came in and took Matt home after promising to bring him back the next day. An hour later Theresa and her mom decided to pay Danny and his mom a visit and Jorel's Mom decided that it's home time. "Come on, let's head home" She said and Jorel sighed and stood up. He said goodbye to Theresa, her mom, Danny's mom and Danny before heading towards the door before freezing.

"George, come on" Jorel said and George looked up at him shocked. "What do you mean?" George asked confused and Jorel's mom chuckled. "Surprise, Jorel talked me into letting you come live with us, seeing as how you have nowhere to go" She told George and he just started smiling widely and just stared at them in shock.

"Come on, George" Jorel said, chuckling whilst walking up to him and pulling him to his feet as much as he could. It turns out he couldn't but George understood what he was doing and stood up. They were all still seriously weak and have allocated Gym times so they can get their strength and shape back but they all know it's going to be a long road to recovery and full health.

"Thank you so much, Jay and Mrs Decker, you really don't need to do this." George told them and Jorel rolled his eyes. "Yes we did, you're homeless and i ain't letting no brother of mine staying on the streets" Jorel told him and George just grinned as he followed Jorel and his mom out of the room after saying goodbye to everyone.
