The ride to and from Ayden and Brinica's foster home was an adventure.

Aaron kept the bitchy attitude the whole day. I tried to talk it out of him but apparently he just wasn't giving in.

When we pulled up to the house I opened my door for Ayden and Brinica to get out.

My head snapped towards Aaron and my smile fell from my face.

"I don't know what your problem is today but could you please knock it off. It's a good day, so at least act like it."

I rolled my eyes and climbed out of the truck. Sometimes this boy gets on my last nerve.

When I reached the house and walked in taking my shoes off, "Hey Mirror!"

Jade smiled widely at me as she sticks her books into her bag, "I have an after school class so I won't be able to make dinner tonight. I thawed out some chicken and there is some French fries in the freezer. I have to go" she quickly kissed my cheek and out the door she went.

We've come to the conclusion we are going to take part of the other room and turn it into another little guest room foe the kids for when they stay. I need another person to come and stay here to help with the payments, so after we start bringing in some money. That's the next thing happening.

See, the house is kind of like a circle on the first floor.

When you walk in the living room is to your right. Then when you walk in it the kitchen is to your left, and straight through there is the dinning room. But when you walk into the house the steps are a little off center to the left. If you walk around the steps you will have to take a right turn and you will be at the dinning room.

So our thought is to maybe close that second walk way to the dinning room off and build a tiny bedroom there.

But, for now the master bedroom is off limits and when the police get that cleared I will be moving in there and then we will have another room.

Right now the kids either have to sleep in my bed with me or on the couch. They get to choose.

After Jade zoomed out of the house Ayden walked in behind me.

Closing the door he took off his shoes and up the stairs he went.

I want to know what crawled up his ass and died.

I furrowed my eyebrows together in confusion, this is weird.

"Guys I'll be right back. There is a bunch of food in the kitchen help yourself" I said cheerfully.

Brinica ran towards the kitchen with Ayden on her tail and I couldn't help but stiffle a laugh.

Kids.

I tried to walk up the steps quietly. But they are just a tad bit squeaky.

Sighing in defeat I just run the rest of the way up and knocked on his door.

Seconds later a shirtless Aaron stood in front of me making my hear skip a beat.

"What?" He growled.

"Talk to me" I peeled my eyes away from his body and focus on his feelings.

I pushed past him and say down on his bed, "Today is my mom's birthday. That's why I didn't want to get up and that's why I am in such a bad mood. Now, can you leave?"

"Quit being an asshole Aaron. I'm trying to be nice and let you talk it out and all you keep doing is pushing me the hell away! I'm sick of these tears an emotions. So if you have to cry or need to say something, just fucking do it now. Please" I pleaded.

I can't help but get sick of crying or seeing other people cry. I do it all the time so I officially get sick of it.

"Every single one of her birthdays we use to go to her grave and sing her happy Birthday. We would bring along some cake and ice-cream and Andria and I would just sit there and talk to her and eat. Now, I don't have either of them. I get that you are having trouble right now. But you can't forget about the people around you. Miracle you have been through so much shit that mine doesn't even sound like a little dent in your massive truck. I just want you to understand I am not as open as you are becoming. I close people out and I don't handle emotions well. So please stop prying and just let me get all depressed by myself" he walked over to his closet and grabbed a shirt and pulled it over his head.

Man, I really wish he didn't do that.

"I know I have been through a lot but your problems are still just as important. I have a lot, yeah. Whooh go me for having a messed up life. I don't want to talk about me right now. Because frankly all I care about right now is what your feeling." I comforted.

Aaron looked down at his big feet, "Miracle I could have a murder charge on my hands. My moms birthday is today and I don't have a sister to celebrate it with. I'm upset and I don't know how to show it. So can't we just forget about it and go on about our day with the kids."

"Get your shoes on" I order before standing up and leaving the room.

He didn't have anytime to argue because I was already out the door and down the steps getting the kids up off the couch and making them put there shoes on.

Aaron walked down the steps in some basketball shorts and a t-shirt that slightly matches. He looks good and I can't even tell him.

"Let's go. We're taking my car" I said walking out the door.

Ayden ran up behind me grabbing my hand and holding it in his own.

This boy will be the death of me.

After getting everyone in the car and me making an extremely quick trip into the store we were on our way to a better day.

"Where is your mom and sisters grave?" I asked looking from Aaron to the road.

"Why?" He asked.

"Does it matter?"

"Kind of."

I let out a frustrated sigh, "give me a damn place, please."

After Aaron finally told me that Andria and Amanda are right beside each other. It's sad but comforting at the same time. This will be easier for Aaron and nog as rushed and time consuming.

When we pulled up the cemetery I parked the car and got out.

I grabbed the bag of stuff from in the back of the car and read every tombstone to try to find one that has the last name Avery on the back.

Finally spotting mamma Amanda I smile to myself.

I sit down pretty close to Andria who is on the left of her but the right on my side.

Aaron walked towards me along with the other two and they sat down beside me.

I pulled out some cupcakes and one candle that has the number 3 on it.

Oops.

I couldn't find any other candle so I had to go with this one.

I lit the candle and began to sing happy Birthday to this beautiful lady I won't get to meet for a very long time.

After Aaron blew the candle he leaned over and kissed my cheek, "thank you, Miracle. This does mean a lot to me. Especially right now."

"That's what I'm here for" I smiled.
