Aaron's POV

"Here's your clothes man." Taylor handed me a black hoodie, a pair of kakis, a pair of black nike elites, and my white vans.

"Thanks bro," I smiled and he walked out.

I've been awake for about two weeks before they let me go. I'm finally getting out of here. I can finally be free and see everyone I love and miss. I miss Sophie, I love her. She's back in California and I'm going to fly over there with Taylor and Dillon to surprise her and the other guys. I'm beyond excited. I haven't seen my girl in over four months. I can't wait to have her back into my arms.

I finished changing and walked out of the room. Taylor and Dillon were waiting for me.

"Hey, you ready to leave?" Dillon smirked.

"Hell yes." I sighed.

We walked out and the first thing I saw when we walked past those sliding doors was a black Lambo. Tay pulled out his keys and unlocked the vehicle. I was baffled.

"This is yours?!" I asked in disbelief. He cockily smirked and nodded. I rolled my eyes and hopped in.

"So what'd I miss?" I chuckled.

They nervously chuckled back and I pulled my eyebrows together.

"Bro, a lot has happened during the past four months." Taylor began as Dillon nodded.

"Oh," I muttered. "Did uhm my sister give birth?"

Taylor's face lit up. "Yeah she did about three or four weeks ago!"

"Really?" I gasped.

"Yup, she created such a cute little boy." Dillon said in an obnoxious baby voice.

"Holy crap!" I smiled "That's amazing!" I've always been fond of children. I consider myself being good with kids. "I'm an uncle!" I screamed and raised my fists up in triumph, causing the boys to laugh. The laughter died down and a long silence lingered in the car. But I was too deep in thought to notice or feel the awkward.

"So uh, how's Sophie?" I smiled, scratching the back of my neck. Taylor gave Dillon a look before looking back at me. I raised an eyebrow at him and he put his eyes back on the road.

"Oh uh she's- great dude, just fine." Taylor said.

"Yeah bro." Dillon added and nervously chuckled.

"Not buying it." I cocked my head to the side.

"No bro she really is doing ok but you put all of us, especially Soph, through so much stress and pain." He spoke softly.

It broke my heart just picturing Sophie sitting on those awfully uncomfortable seats in tears, waiting weeks for my awakening. "I'm so sorry." I whispered.

"It wasn't your fault Aaron." Taylor said. "Don't feel guilty, all that matters is that you're here with us now." He smiled.

"I need to see her. I need to see everyone." I stated

They both shared a glance at each other and nodded. "Let's leave tomorrow morning." Dillon suggested.

"Yay!" I cheered. "I really missed you guys."

"I missed you too," Taylor grinned.

"SAME!" Dillon shouted, causing us to chuckle.

We arrived at my house and the smell of my mom's cooking filled my senses. I groaned. I've missed my mothers home made meals so much. I ran into the kitchen and hugged my mommy.
