I'm Not Like You I Just Look Like You

Chapter Four

It's finally the weekend. No more school and no more drama. I opened the door to the house to see it empty. Tyler and Scott must be on a date as always. I rushed to the kitchen and grabbed a bagel and tossed it into the toaster and grabbed the cream cheese from the fridge.
"DING!" The toaster singlnaled that it was finished. I grabbed a plate and speak some cheese onto the bagles. As soon as I set the plate down at the table, the door bell rang.
"Why is it everytime I sit down," I said with a groan. I got up and opened the door to see a social worker who works at the adoption place I came from.
"Iris? I think we found him," She said at the door. She had some files in her hand. My face was blank. If it's the him I think I need to see him. The social worker moved out from the door to give me a clear look at her car and there sat a boy my age in the back. His hands were in his hands. His hair was a mess and so was he.
"Is that aaron...?" I managed to say
The social worker nodded her head. Without hesitation I shut the door to reclaim my thoughts.
"Uh...where was he?" I ask
"Were going to talk about that. Your parents are on their way to come met him." She said with a huge smile. My eyes began to water. I used to think he was dead and other times not remember me.
"Aaron come see your sister!" The worker said. His attention looked out from the window. His eyes were puffy from probably crying. Our eyes met and got out of the car. His expression didn't change. I walked out of the house and met up with him in the middle of the drive way. Without thinking he grabbed me closer and pulls me into a deep huge. He spelt of smoke and sweat. But he still dosnt change. He was also slightly taller than me.
"Iris, I'm sorry," His voice was shaky and full of fear. I pulled from the hug.
"Don't say anything just let me hug you." I pulled him into the hug again. Tears began to fall from my eyes onto my cheeks. He still hasn't changed much.

"Okay mr.aaron. this is tyler and Scott Park. And as you know, Iris Park." The worker said introducing each of us. Both tyler ans Scott sat beside eachother and I sat on the floor next to Aaron looking at the social worker.
Tyler held his hand out to Aaron and he took it and shook his hand.
"Its so nice to finally meet you Aaron."
"It is nice to know my sister is with someone who actually cares for her." He said with a smug look.
"And I am Scott a few people call me scotty." Scotty said with a smile.

"Well since everyone knows eachother, let's get to business. Since Aaron is so far from home. Are you and Tyler interested into adopting Aaron along with Iris. Just to prevent them getting separated again." The social worker said laying papers out.

"I am fine to live on my own." Aaron said. "I don't want to have people boss me around. I am just glad to know my sisters safe." His voice was full of anger but he wasn't yelling.

"Oh but Aaron, your still a minor and you can't live on your own. Both me and tyler are wanting you yo reconnect with your sister."
Scott said.

I look over to Aaron yo notice his hands were shaking snd his breathing was getting louder.

"I need air," he said and jumped up and walked outside. The room when quite and then got interupted by a slam of a door. I got up to follow him and when I got outside I saw him sitting on the ground with a cigarette in his mouth lit.

"Uh...Aaron?" I said. He turned around and sighed.

"Hey look, I'm sorry."
His voice was rough and sounded hurt.

"Its...uh..fine," I just never expected him to be the kind of person who smoked but who knows how different he has been in these past years. "I just don't want to make something permanent to end up fucking up and running back. There our-"

"There not parents, there only the people who brought us to thus hell hole of a life. And your not going to fuck up." I said interupting him.

"You know how calm I am right now? Well this isn't going to last long. Iris, I've changed alot...so much you won't like it."

"I don't care, Scott and Tyler have been working their asses off just to find you. And now you somehow end up getting found. Your being offered alot right now. I know your scared but there good people." I said resting my hands on his sholder.

He just nodded and stood up. He walked to the house and I followed. We both sat down where we previously were. The worker handed Tyler and scotty a pen as well as Aaron. They all sighed in silence.

"Welp, well be back in a few weeks to check up on you guys because that's protical but Aaron, this is an amazing family. Don't mess up." She said as she gathered her things. Aaron gave her her a small smile. Thr lady finally left and it was all quiet. I look over to tyler who is going through what I am going to guess is his file.

"Let me show you your room," Scotty said getting off the couch. Aaron followed him up the staircase to his new room.
