Ash p.o.v.

I walk up stairs and I see Sebs coming down stairs.

"Are you in the right house?" I ask joking around making him crack a smile.

"I'm sure of it Ash." He smiles.

"Vanessa." I hear Mike call out.

"I'm coming." She screams from the kitchen. You can see Mike from the stairs, he's in the hall way of the living room and the dinning room. Nessa comes into the view.

"I got in." He says making her jump into his arm. She kisses him.

"I'm so proud of you, I knew you could do it." She says. I turn to look at Sebs who doesn't look that bothered, maybe he's hiding it like Andres.

"I have something to show you." Nessa pulls Mike to the kitchen.

"Good night Ashton." Sebs says.

"Good night." I give him a little smile. I make my way to my room I stop in front of Andres instead. I knock on the door.

"Come in." I hear him say. "Hello big brother." I greet as I make my way towards his bed.

"Hello Champ." He smiles, it doesn't reach his eyes.

"How are you holding up?" I ask him referring to his baby's passing away date is coming up.

"I'm going to be fine." He says trying to reassure me. He needs that himself more than I do. Lacey broke him to pieces, even after she had seen what my father had done. It isn't fair.  I wrap my arms and hug him.

"I saw Sebs so you must be better now. You can tell me anything if you want." I tell him trying not to push him.

"I'm fine. You want to watch scandal with me?" He asks making me smile.

"I'll get the popcorn and the drinks." I say running downstairs. I quickly make popcorn and grab the drinks, and make my way Andres' room. Once I walk in he had scooted over leaving me some space and Sandal was on the tv about to play.

"You should go to bed, you have school tomorrow." Andrea says. I nod my head. I hug him.

"Good night Andres." I whisper.

"Good night Champ." He gives me a small smile. I make my way to my room. I do my night routine and charge my phone. As soon as I lay on my bed and pull the covers I fall asleep.

"Ash come on get up." I feel Ash move me. I sit up and see her wrapped in a towel.  "What time is it?" I ask.

"It's six thirty." She gives me a small smile. I finally gather enough courage and get up. I grab my towel and make my way to our shared bathroom connecting both our rooms. I remember Ash and I thought it was cool as little girls. We would sometimes be scared  to sleep alone so we would sleep together. I took a quick showered and made my way to my room. I quickly apply lotion and get dress. I brush through my hair and let it air dry. I make my way downstairs and I'm greeted by mom and Nicolas showing affection which is cute. Andres is engaging in a conversation with Ash, Mike and Nessa.

"Good morning." I greet with a smile. They greet me with a good morning or morning. I serve myself cereal and take in between Andres and Ash. I eat quietly observing my sibling, from time to time they would make comments making me laugh.

"So I saw Sebs." Mom brought up.

"He came to see me." Andres speaks up. Mom nods her head.

"So guys we have great news." Mom says. I raise my eyebrow at mom. "The company will be opening a new law firm closer to home and I will be working there." Mom says smiling.

"Mom that's great." Nessa smiles.

"Yes, and that way I can check on papas business more often." Mom adds.

"I don't need supervision." Nessa says.

"It's an excuse to check on papa." Mom says.

"Mom you know papa loves you. You don't need an excuse to check on him." She says.

"Guys today we're all having dinner with papa and mom." Mom tells us. "Dress nice, it's going to be a fancy restaurant."

"Is Nicolas attending?" Andres asks.

"Yes I will. Your grandfather invited me after your mother introduced us." Nicolas says.

"It's seven thirty." Ash says.

"I'll drive you guys. I have class so it's on my way either way." I nod my head and Ash and I quickly rush upstairs to brush our teeth and grab our belongings.

Andres drives us to school the radio is playing. Derek isn't attending school in the morning since he had a doctors appointment. "Where's your boyfriend?" Ash asks.

"He has a doctors appointment." I say. She nods hers head.

"Take care guys." Andres says dropping us off.

"Likewise. See you later." Ash and I say at the same time making us laugh. We walk to class together.

"Hey can I speak to you?" Nixon asks. I nod my head and he pulls me aside.
