" Good morning Aaliyah." Teresa said " Good morning, what are you guys doing up so early?" Aaliyah asked " We'll we have a lot to do today. So I want you to at least have breakfast." Teresa said " Where is dad?" Aaliyah asked " Your father wanted us to go through this Journey together, but he has your support." Teresa said " What Journey. You haven't lost anyone, this is my daughter I lost her." Aaliyah cried " You think I haven't lost anyone? I have lost my sons, Erin and Blake." Teresa cried " I am sorry mom, you don't need to share." Aaliyah said trying to brush off the situation. " No, I need to so we don't have to ever come back to this again later in life. Please sit." Teresa demanded " OK." Aaliyah said " It all started at the boys High school Grad party in eight-nine. Blake wanted to go see some rock band at this underrated club in Brooklyn." [ Going into Teresa's Flash back."] " Mom." Blake said " Yes, sweetheart." Teresa said " Instead of doing the normal, can I go to this concert?" Blake asked "Excuse me?" Teresa shrugged her shoulders " May I go to this concert?" Blake asked " No." Teresa said " No?" Blake asked " Yes, No. Your father and I planned this cook out with the neighbors and you want to go to this concert?"Teresa snarled " Mom, I know you mean well. But Erin wants to do the cookout. Not me. Just because we are twins, that don't mean we have to do the same thing. I am my own person. I just want to be able to do what I want for a change." Blake cried " You will be able to do what you want, but at least show up for this cookout." Teresa begged " No. I am eighteen, I already made these plans with my girlfriend Cheryl, and my friends. We already paid for our tickets."Blake said so scold. [ " Once Blake said that to me, I was really hurt. He ended up going and Hank was really pissed off. That's what stirred up his drinking phase.] " I can't believe that damn boy. He rather go off with some girl, and to not be here!" Hank shouted " Just stay calm, Erin where is the concert?" Teresa asked " The concert is in Brooklyn, and it's not at somebody's venue per say. It's at someone's house." Erin said " Brooklyn!" Teresa and Hank shouted " How do you even know about this?" Hank asked " Well, on bad days when Blake and Me would have issues at home, we would use our metro passes to take the train to Brooklyn to see them. They are really popular for an underrated rock band. But yeah, they blew up and so Blake bought tickets in advance to see them. Cheryl is one of the lead guitarist." Erin stammered.  " Issues?" Teresa cried " I don't believe this. Damn, now I have to cancel this shit! " Hank shouted " Hank, stop. Hank!" Teresa shouted " This is the issue mother! I always get put in the mix of Blake problematic life, and get hit for it. I am out!" Erin shouted " You don't disrespect your mother like that." Hank said while grabbing Erin by the shoulder " You don't ever disrespect me!" Erin said while he slapped Hank. " Erin." Teresa cried " I am sorry mom, it's time for me to go." Erin said  [ end of flash back] " After that, Erin went to the concert with his brother, once they left from the concert in Brooklyn. One of the trains coming back home. Got off guard, and the tires got stalled on the railings. As another train came in full- speed and didn't know. The people on the both trains including my sons. Died in one sitting. I always regretted, that day each year of that tragic accident. For you to tell me I never lost someone? That hurts. So I know what you are going through, we will find Gracie."Teresa cried " I am so sorry mom, I didn't know. I shouldn't even say that." Aaliyah cried " It's okay, but we are going to get through this together. Hank may not be strong in losing another family member. But we will find her." Teresa said " Our food is cold now." Aaliyah chuckled " Hey, let's stop by Jason's to get something to eat on the way." Teresa said " We may have to skip Jason's this morning." Aaliyah " What, we never turn down a pita from them." Teresa said " Can, I mean may we go to your church that you suggested go to, if it's okay?" Aaliyah asked " Lord this is going to be a good day." Teresa muffled under her breath " Yes, we can go. It's always okay." Teresa said. " Thanks." Aaliyah said " You welcome baby. Don't forget to lock up now." Teresa said " Alright." Aaliyah said
