Maria smiled

Maria:I know

He grabbed her waist

NEXT MORNING

August POV

Aj slept through the night that was the second time in 4 months that that has happened

I went to his room and picked him up

I noticed his lips were purple

"Maria !!! Maria what's wrong with him"

We didn't know what to do she called 911 I cried as they took him away

Maria:what happen

"I don't know I came to change him and he wasn't breathing"

I held my head down as my parents walked into the waiting room

"Look at me august" my mom said

I looked up at her with my blood shot eyes

She hugged me and I started crying again she rubbed my back telling me it was ok

Maria came out the back crying and shaking her head I got up hugging her

They said he had been dead for an hour and he died from Sudden Infant Death

I blamed myself if only I had gotten up an hour earlier or checked on him during the night he would still be here staring at me with his grey eyes I cried looking at him I kissed his head rubbing his hair even when he's sleeping he looks just like me , he was truly my twin

Two months after he died Maria moved back to New York with her aunt she said when she was here in ATL she couldn't stop thinking about AJ , I lost my family in two months I was hurt , I locked myself in my room for a month away from everybody even Marley she would sometimes come up to my door crying for me to let her in but I needed to be alone I needed time to think and process everything

Maybe I'm suppose to be alone and that's why god took my family

-------

Marley:august

He opened his door

August:what

She hugged him

Marley:I love you august

August:I love you to Marley

She walked in his room closing the door

Marley:look

She pulled up her shirt a little showing him her tattoo of Aj DOB & DOD

August:it's nice Marley really but you're 14 who did it

Marley:that doesn't matter

August:I want you to take me to them I want one like yours

Marley:we can go tomorrow

August:good
