"Aaron, I'm here." I call through the building that was once my home.
"Sammy!" The most recent addition to Golden Gate Adoption Centre was Cody, he was 6 years old and reminded me of Simon just before the crash. Dirty blond hair, bright blue eyes and no matter what there was always a smile on his face.
"Hey Cody, where's Aaron?" He pointed to the kitchen so Aaron was probably making dinner for everyone.
"We're making pizzas!" Cody took my hand and dragged me through to the kitchen where everyone was around the table decorating a small pizza each. Every Monday was pizza night, which may sound boring, but Aaron's pizzas were the best things to exist.
"Samantha, I've told you hundreds of times now, you need to focus on yourself and school. You spend all your time when you aren't at school here or at your job. Go home and have a break for once.
"That's the last thing I want to do right now. Can I speak to you in private for a minute?"
"Keep decorating everybody, this shouldn't take long." He guided me into the office and I took a seat on one of the chairs.
"He knows that I'm alive. He watched me leave." I run my hands through my hair.
"How? Did you tell him?"
"No, he doesn't know it's me but I almost slipped up so I said I'd researched the case and when I was being sincere he said he knows that his sister is still alive and that she is going to come back at some point."
"Are you going to tell him? You always wanted to go back."
"That's the hard part. He's become friends with my bullies."
"You need to tell Emma and David about them. You've said they you were going to get it sorted but I'm not allowed to keep this from them. If you don't tell them or stop the bullying, I will."
"By Wednesday it should be over. Simon will know because of my English project and although he might not take it well he'll stop the bullying."
"Until then, go home and prepare that project." I nod and grab my bag, I go back into the kitchen to say goodbye to the kids before leaving and heading back home.
