Avery's POV

As I exit the plane, I can't help but think how I got stuck here. How my life got this messed up.

*Flashback*

"W-what?" I ask the woman through the phone in disbelief.

"I'm so sorry sweetheart. But your mother was just in a car accident, she didn't make it" I can't believe this. My mom is dead? I drop the phone and fall to my knees, my sad, angry screams filling the empty apartment.

I finally compose myself and stand up slowly. I walk to the bathroom and do the only thing I know to do in a situation like this, I cut.

*End of Flashback*

I continue walking through the airport until I see a familiar face, and an unfamiliar one. I approach them, and they wear sad smiles. I'm guessing because they're happy to see me? But they also pity me? Why does everyone have to feel bad for me? It makes me feel even more weak and stupid than I already know I am.

"Hi" I say shyly, like usual. That's when my dad... No. Scott gives me a hug. I don't hug back, just stay limp in his arms. He takes the hint and backs away.

"Avery, I've missed you so much" Scott tells me.

I scoff, "Yeah right" I say under my breath so that they wouldn't hear me.

Scott dismisses my actions and continues, "Let's go get your luggage shall we?" I don't respond, just walk towards the claim. They follow behind. We get my luggage and bring it to the car.

The car ride isn't much fun, they both try to make conversation with me at least once but I ignore them. I just give them short answers hoping they'll leave me alone. I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone, especially these people right now. I can't believe I even have to live with this man after what he did. I absolutely, completely, and utterly despise him.

We get to the house and the woman, who I found out is Laura, my stepmom, shows me to my room. I take a look around the room, it's huge. Dang, my family is rich. Well, compared to how me and my mom were... I shake off the thought before the anger can reach boiling point.

I start unpacking until I hear a knock on the door. I ignore it. It's probably Scott or my stepmom. The knocking continues.

I stand up frustrated, "What?"

The door opens slightly and a face peeks in. I look up and see a barely recognizable face. He's changed a lot.

"Aaron?" I say in disbelief.

"Avery" he says stepping in the room and closing the door. He looks at me with sad eyes. "I-I'm so sorry..." he trails off. "I wish I could have been there" he says quietly, tears in his eyes. I don't dare look up at him. Especially when my eyes become damp, tears threatening to spill onto my cheeks.

I sniff, "I-" I stop myself. I honestly don't know what to say. He slowly walks to me and wraps me in his arms. I hesitate at first, but finally give in. I mean, I can trust him, right? Of course I can, he's Aaron.

"I missed you so much" I tell him, the tears already have taken over, sobs racking my body.

"I missed to to, baby" he says kissing the top of my head lightly.

We pull away and I take in his appearance. He's probably almost 6 foot, while I'm just above 5. His dark brown hair is styled upward in a quiff-type of style. He looks much older since the last time I saw him.

"Getting tall, aren't you?" I tell him.

He smiles, "I would say the same about you... But you're the same height as the last time I saw you" he teases, although it's basically true.

Aaron's POV

This feels so weird. Seeing her, here, again. I have missed her though. A lot. After our long embrace, I look her up and down.

Her dark brown hair, the same color as mine, reaches her waist. Her brown eyes, also the same color as mine, are stunning. And she barely reaches 5 foot which I find adorable. It makes me feel like she's my baby sister again.

Wow, I've missed my twin sister. And nothing's going to make me lose her again.
