Noah's P.O.V:

I get up from the shower floor and turn of the water. I grab a towel and wraps it around my body. Stepping out from the shower I avoids to look in the mirror and dry myself of with the towel before getting my clothes on. A pair of jeans shorts, a purple sweatshirt with an skeleton hand printed on it, and then my dads old coaching cap. I put the wet clothes on the edge to the bathtub. I drag the cap down a bit over my face before walking out from the bathroom into the long hallway. Getting into my room I look at the photo frame on the beside table before I get my sketchbook out from where it's placed on my desk, getting out some carbon pens and lets my fantasy fly and starts to sketch on a new drawing. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I drag my hand over the black color to smear it out a little, looking down I signs and lean back into the chair I start to stare at the ceiling. Why can't I get it right? Damn! My door slams open and I quickly snap my head to the sound of the door slamming into the wall behind. In the doorway stands Dylan, Jaxon, Ryan and Colton and smiles widely. I gulp and then turns to my sketchbook and rapidly closes it. Colton's eyes snaps to the book and then to my hands that have gotten black by the charcoal. I stands up from my seat and takes a small step to the side to hide the book from Colton's gaze. He snaps to me and smiles even bigger. 

"You're coming with us!" Ryan says with a playfully voice. I look at the other and the nods excited. I signs and nods, they then grabs me and drags me down toward the living room. I takes a deep breath and waits for a explanation. They drags me over to the sofa and push me down in the middle of it before taking seats on both of my sides. I look confused at them and then notice that Colton is gone. My eyes widen in shock and I shoot up from the sofa. 

"Where is Colton?" I ask and now I'm really scared. 

"I don't.." Jaxon starts but right then Colton walks into the room with my sketchbook in his hands. He looks up at me and smiles shocked.

"Those are really good.." He says slowly and turning page, I runs over to him and snatch the book out of his hands and steps back from him. He looks at me and I shake my head.

"No" I say and now the other boys have gotten over to the doorway there Colton and I stands. I shake my head violently an backs away. He smiles and tilt his head to the right. I hold the book behind my back and starts to back away again. Just to feel a chest against my back. I turn my head to look at who is standing behind me. Hunter is standing there. I jump away from him and slowly takes some steps side way to not get to close to the twins. 

"What's going on here?" Hunter says and the twins smiles sheepishly.

"We did get Noah down to play some video games with us but then Colton get a book from Noah and she snatched it back from him and started to try to run off." Dylan says and shrugs. I lick my lips and take a step back. Hunter looks at me and then sees the book in my hands. I can feel his eyes on my hands and I hide the book behind my back and stares down on the floor. 

"Can I see lilsis?" Hunter says after a while in silence. I look up at him and the other boys. The have got this look of curiosity on their faces and Signing I toss the book on Hunters chest. He grabs it right before it hit him. He smiles widely and open up the book on the first page just when the four other boys get up behind him. I throw me defeated down on the couch while waiting for the words to get out into the air. I stare up at the ceiling when it comes. 

"Is this your parents?" Jaxon asks carefully and I continue to stare at the ceiling. 

"It's what I remember of them.. I was just 5 when they died.. I don't get the whole picture of that day but I still got nightmares of that night. I see memories all the time, every time I close my eyes, I can see my dead daddy on the floor, my mom laying so still on the floor in there bedroom. She doesn't breath, doesn't move and I remember that I screamed for her to get up from that floor but she wouldn't move.. I tried, I tried so hard to wake them up. I thought they just was asleep. I didn't know what had happen but I couldn't do anything to wake them up. I really tried. I shook her, she was so cold and pale. I just didn't understood. It was so hot inside the house, my lungs was burning when I just breathed, trying to get air into my lungs. The air was so heavy. When I couldn't wake mommy up I went downstairs to try and find my Daddy. I looked everywhere and then I did find him bloody on the living room floor. I screamed on him to wake up, I screamed that it was something wrong with mom but even then he wouldn't move. I did try everything I could come up with. I should have tried harder. But I didn't I didn't, I went to the corner closest to my daddy's dead body and cried silently. I thought I just sat there for just some minutes, but the people on the hospital said I have been sitting in the burning house for hours. I didn't remember the time going. It just went still, my whole world stopped after I had seen my daddy just laying there motionless on the floor, I think that is what shock is like.. The time doesn't seems to move and everything goes into a blurry world. It was this one firefighter who found me in my corner, I remember how I found it funny because they really looks like divers with those masks and oxygen tubes. A big bit of the roof beams got lose and fell down just between the firefighter and me.. He gave me his mask to breath throw.. If he hadn't I wouldn't be alive. The doctors said it like that while they thought that I was asleep.. I heard almost everything the said about me.. and my family. My parents had died just moments before I got to them. If I just had been a few minutes earlier I would have been able to do something about it.. Just some more minutes, but I didn't I lost my chance for one last minute with them because I was asleep. I didn't save them.. Just a few moments earlier.. Damn it, I fucked everything up! I could have saved them if I hadn't been asleep! They didn't have to die, they were young, they had the whole life in front of them, Dad had just stared to coach again and Mom.. mom she was finally cancer free. She was given a second chance that was taken back right in front of her eyes. I.. I.. I could have.. saved them." I stops when I can't talk through the tears that's streaming down my face, running like a waterfall down my cheeks to drop down on my hands. I snatch dads cap off from my head and hide my face in it.
