Everytime mom would get drunk, we would go over to Simon's house. As it happened more often, his parents began to get suspicious. Emily tried to run away so many times that I lost count.
When Emily started high school, the only people she knew were me and Simon, and since she was in grade 9 and we were in grade 11, we didn't see much of eachother. As the days passed, I saw her with a group of guys and I saw how big her smile was. She always had on the biggest smile.
Slowly, she became happier. She did the things she loved to do: she joined band, the musical and art club.
I took Simon and Aaron to see all three of her shows and she surprised us all with her acting. She was amazing and even Aaron---who hated musicals---enjoyed watching, simply because of Emily. After the show, you could hear the three of us cheering like there was no tomorrow.
I am proud of them; Emily and Aaron. They are becoming wonderful people.
