Antonia's POV

"Make sure you pick up the kids at the bus stop" my father and mother reminds me as they walk out the door.

It's only two in the afternoon, but my parents are going to the Dolan household to clean it up since the Dolan's are officially moving out. They want the home to be spotless for the new owners.

I slice some cucumbers for the kids to eat when they get home in an hour and munch on some myself while I wait for them.

I put on my shoes getting ready to walk to the bus stop when there is loud banging on the front door. I nealry peed myself from the sudden loud noise.

I look through the peep hole to see who could be knocking so harshly when I see Ethan's head. I quickly open the door and can see him in tears.

"What's the matter" I ask him as I pull him in for an imediate hug.

He just cries in the crook of my neck. I rub my hands in a circular motion on his back and tell him sweet nothings to calm him down.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come to you like this" he says before getting out of my grasp and turning around to walk away.

"Hey, don't feel that way. I'm here for you" I go after him and lightly pull his arm to make him face me.

"Come walk with me to get the kids from the bus stop and then we can talk about what is on your mind" I tell him as I interwine our hands together.

I wipe the remaining tears on his face and proceed to lead us to the twin's bus stop.

"Eat the slices of cucumbers and relax for a little before you guys have to start your homework" I inform the children as I make my way up the stairs with Ethan.

We enter my room bedroom and sit down on the bed.

"What happened today? Are you okay" I ask Ethan.

"We finally entered Cameron's room today since she passed. I just couldn't handel it and left" he admits.

I lay down on my bed and motion for him to do the same. I hold him close to me and run my hands through his hair.

"It must have been hard to have gone in there after all this time has pass. I understand why you left" I speak calmly.

"I still feel so guilty" he chokes out and begins to tear up again.

"You had no control over what was going to happen. Don't feel guilty Ethan. I know your sister would be upset with you knowing that you are letting yourself feel this way" I say while holding him closer.

"You're right" he sniffles.

We just lay there together. Ethan's crying has calm down somewhat.

"I miss her" he whispers.

"I know you must miss her. Do you want to go visit her sometime soon" I ask him.

"Yeah, I haven't gone to visit her in a while. I'll go next weekend. Will you come with me" he asks.

"Of course I will" I answer him.

"Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't know why I feel like I can trust you. I just know that I can" he looks at me.

"There's just something about you. You're so kind and sweet to your parents and siblings. I was rude to you, yet you were still nice to me. I don't know why though" he lightly chuckles.
