It had been almost a year since Drew's death. We were doing... okay I guess. After Drew's body was found it had been checked properly by a doctor and everything, then we had Drew's funeral.

Now that was hard.

Burying my almost 20 year old son was hard.  Justin remained emotionless while the burial took place, his face was stoic and rigid. But I knew deep inside his heart was aching. Sophia cried and begged us not to let drew go, begged us not to bury him. But we had to obviously. The first few months our family was a mess without Drew.

Anything we ever saw pained us. When I went to Drew's room to clean it it reminded me of him. His favourite cologne that he always wore lingered in the air. His clothes strewn messily on a chair. His notebooks filled with musical notes strewn across his wirging table. His bed unmade. I didn't have the heart to take away the last do what was left of Drew, so I didn't touch the room at all.

Then came Drew's birthday. Well, what was supposed to be his birthday but which now floated around like a painful memory. The day of his birthday Sophia stayed in Drew's room all day moping about. Justin took out the games that he and drew used to play on the Xbox together and played them alone with a sad smile on his face. I even made Drew's favourite foods that day in remembrance of him.

Selena of course was always here and there trying to help me. I think she's left he old ways behind for good now. It's been over an year she's been living with us and she's not done anything. We thought she had something to do with Drew's death but that was later cleared. She didn't drown him or anything. He'd been in the lake for 4 hours. And around that time we found out that she was in the house with me. So it couldn't have been her.

I finally properly embraced her as a friend and let her help my family.

She helped Sophia with her pills. Yes, Sophia had been labelled as depressed. She'd helped Sophia with her education. We'd stopped sending her to school so Selena home-schooled her.

Justin and I remained in our rooms mostly, taking care of Luke. Besides, he was the only son we had left now.

When the public got to know about Drew's death, it was chaos. Many fans were saddened and grieved with Justin and I. Then started the rumours. The rumours about me killing drew or Sophia killing drew out of jealousy. That really hurt since none of us would kill someone we love so much.
