"A little boy' s dream." zach said.

"I think i wanna be max." blake said.

"Amazing." cam said.

"I wanna play." mario said.

"Can i be a little kid again?" charles said.

"He is gonna love this place." joey said.

"I can't wait to see his face when he sees this place." nash said.

"Its so cool!" hayes said.i smiled down at the ground with what they guys said. I really hoped Max would like it. I also hoped that i could get him this week.suddenly there was a knock at the door. We all ran down the stairs and the guys stood behind me as i opened the door to show a very professionally dressed man.

"I am Mr.Marin." he spoke. His voice sent chills down my spine as i looked him in the eyes.

"I am Arial and these are my friends. They are only here for moral support. Please come in." i said and opened the door wider for him to come in. i led him the sitting room and he sat down. "Would you like anything to drink?" i asked.

"Water will be fine." he answered. I started to walk to the kitchen but Jacob told me he would get it and to sit down. "I have a few questions for you."

"Okay then. I will answer to the best of m ability." i told him. He smiled and looked down a his paper.

"Do you have a job?" he asked first.

"Yes, i have 3 jobs." he looked impressed and looked back down.

"Where do you work? And do you go to school?" his voice sounded so loud and it kind of scared me. Jacob brought him his water and sat down next to me.

"I work at starbucks monday, wednesday and friday afternoons. I work at walmart on tuesday, thursday and sunday afternoons then i work at port city raceway on saturday nights. Yes, i attend school daily." i said. He made a weird face then looked at me again.

"I am afraid that with your busy schedule, you won't have time for a child." he said and started to get up.

"I am sorry i didn't specify. I go to work from 8 to 10 at starbucks and 9 to 1 at walmart. As for the racetrack i only work from 6 till they end but i have trustworthy friends that could watch over Max. please i need him back." i pleaded.

"Well if you trust these friends with your little brothers life then they must mean a lot to you. Does max have a room that i can see?" he asked. I nodded my head and led him up the stairs to a locked door. I unlocked it and let him in. "why is there a lock on his door?" he asked.

"After i decorated his room, i didn't want to walk in on accident and have the heavy pain of him not being here hit me again." i told him he nodded his head and looked around the room. He smiled and kept looking. "Is your room nearby?" he asked i nodded and walked to the closet and opened the door revealing my room. "Very good idea." he said and walked into my room. "Do you mind if i have a look around the house?" he asked me. I shook my head and left him to himself as he left my room and walked down the hall to the other rooms.

As i went downstairs i looked to the guys and smiled.

"He liked maxy's room." i said. They all silently cheered and we sat down on the couch. We waited for about 20 minutes then he came back down the stairs. He walked into the kitchen and within a few minutes he walked out and sat across from us.

"This is a very nice house you have here. Would you like to see max?" he asked me. I smiled and nodded my head. "I will return in about an hour with max and if all goes well you can come down to the office and fill out some papers. Then max will be yours again." he said. I felt tears in the corner of my eyes and smiled.

"Thank you so much." i told him. He nodded and i led him to the door. When he left the guys all brought me into a group hug and we all sat down. We decided to watch movies until Mr.Marin came back with Max. at around 7 o'clock the doorbell rang.

I jumped off the couch and ran to open it up. In Front of me stood Mr.Marin. Max holding his hand.

"Sissy?" he asked letting go and running to hug me. I knelt down and picked him up. I spun him around in a circle. When i put him down his eyes were wet with tears and tears ran down my face.

"Oh i missed you so much Maxy. i love you." i said. Maxy wiped his eyes.

"I love you too sissy."

"Max, you have to meet some of my friends, and see you room."i said grabbing his small hand and leading him to the guys. They all looked shocked and 'awwed' max. He looked down with a red face. "Guys this is my little Maxy. max these are my friends. They helped me find you." i said. Max looked up and walked to the guys.

"Thank you, i am Max. what is you name?" he asked in broken english.

"I am Jacob but you can call me Jakey. This is Zach, Blake, Cam, Mario, Nash, Hayes, Joey and Charles." Jacob spoke softly to max and pointed to each of the guys.

Max walked up to them and hugged each and every one of them. They all smiled as he hugged them as hard as he could with his little arms.

"Max, lets go see your room." i said. He smiled brightly.

"I room?" his broken english filled the air. I nodded and he ran to my, jumping up i caught him. I walked up the stairs and led him up with the guys following. I stopped in front of a light blue door and opened it up showing a spiderman decorated room with a matching tv set. There was a small spiderman table in the middle of the room with spiderman lego's and on the far wall there was a shelf with spiderman action figures and a window with spiderman curtains.

"SPIDERMAN IS MY FAVORITE!!!" he yelled. I sat him down and he ran to the table starting to build a lego set. "Come guys, play wif me." he said. The guys and i walked into his room and sat around the table helping him build his lego set.

mr.Marin cleared his throat and we all turned around to see him at the door.

"It is time for Max to leave." he spoke simply.
