I looked down the stairwell in shock and saw Francisco and his mom standing there next to Lincoln. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't hallucinating and pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. "Ouch!" I yelped from pinching myself. I stood there staring in silence. "Is it really you..?" I finally asked. "Yep. It's me!" he said. I ran up and hugged him. "As soon as I saw your message asking me when I would come back to Michigan, I gave up my college savings just so I could visit you" he said. I backed up "What?! Why?!" I asked. "Because.. I love you" he said. I hugged him again, but tighter, then I realized hugging him wasn't enough and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you.." I said. My siblings were awwwing in the background, but I didn't care. "Wanna go see a movie?" he offered. I nodded. "Lori, can you tell mom I'll be gone for a while? There's an adult with us, so she doesn't have to worry." I asked. Lori nodded and went to mom and dad's room. Then me, Francisco, and his mom, left to see a movie. "Lynn?" I heard someone call. It wasn't Francisco, it wasn't his mom.. It was behind me..
