I've never run home so fast.

I've never slammed my door so loud.

I've never cried so much.

They replaced me. After all I'd been trying to do to bring them back, they just replaced me.

I hug my knees and cry until my voice goes hoarse and my eyes lose their once-ambitious shine. My cheeks that once were stained with pool water were now stained with tears, and my smile was held prisoner.

Jenson opens my door and runs to my side. "I saw it too." He whispers. I collapse in his open arms, physically drained. Jenson's eyes were dim, but he hadn't cried.

"They-they...." I couldn't get the words out without crying.

"I know I know. I'm still here, I will always be." He calmly strokes my hair, just like he does when I have a panic attack. A knock comes at the door.

"I got it." Jenson smiles sadly at me and goes downstairs. Many footsteps walk up the stairs, and a soft knock is at my door.

"Sasha?" A familiar voice asks. It's Diara. She opens the door, and I see she's not alone. Cameron is here too, and unfortunately, Draco.

Yes, I love him, but he doesn't understand the situation like Diara and Cameron do. But, he came for me.

"Hey." Diara hugs me. I love Diara's hugs, they are always filled with comfort and protection to the max level. Cameron hugs my other side, his are more gentile and soft, but still comforting. When it's Draco's turn, Diara doesn't let go, making me giggle a bit.

"C'mere." Draco holds me close, and Diara leaves some sweets for me and walks out with Cameron. 

"We're gonna give you guys some privacy." Diara winks and takes Cameron's hand.

Draco wraps his arms around me. My moon, my knight in shining armor. I'm his star, his dame in distress.

"I'm so sorry." He whispers over and over again. I cry softer, but still hard. Draco starts to hum the song. Our song.

I stop crying and let him hold me tighter and closer. He keeps humming until I sit up.

"There's my girl," Draco says softly. He lifts up my chin, making me look at him. I drop it and he tries again.

"They don't deserve you and your brother, Sasha. You don't need them. You have all your friends, your brother. Me." I look him in his eyes. His blue-grey eyes, filled with comfort, mystery, and love.

"I do have you guys, don't I?" I smile a bit, and Draco nods. Diara and Cameron walk back in. Diara holds my hand, Draco holds my other, and Cameron drapes his arms over my shoulders.

"We're your family now, Sash. We always have been." Cameron says. Jenson comes in and joins Cameron over my shoulders.

"This is my family," I say and everyone nods.

"Dibs on being the oldest!" I joke and we all argue on who's the oldest. Everyone starts to laugh.

"We'll always be here, Sasha," Draco says, and everyone nods.

"Thanks, guys." I hug Cameron and Diara, kiss Jenson, and lay in Draco's lap.

"OK, we're going now." Jay Jay jokes and everyone but Draco leaves.

I kiss him on the cheek. "I love you," I say.

"And I love you. You sure you'll be okay?" He asks.

I think. "I hope so. Besides, I have my family now." Draco kisses me, and the little blue butterflies start to fly in my stomach. I smile as he lets go.

When everyone leaves, I replace every picture of my family with my real family. With Diara, my rock and sister. With Cameron, my in house comedian. With Jenson, my real brother, but my soldier forever.

And with Draco. My yellow.

I look at my new photo wall, smiling. This is my family. My dysfunctional, loving, slightly weird family. 

Jenson had friends over, but tonight I didn't mind. He needed his Diara, his Cameron. No matter how annoying and loud they were.

Jenson quickly knocks on my door. "We'll be quiet I promise!" He says through my door. I laugh.

"Or you'll try at least." I joke.

"Yup!" I laugh as the sound of the Xbox rings through the house. I flop down on my bed and close my eyes.

Tiny tears come out, but it's not out of sadness. Instead, it's happy tears. What would I do without my friends and Jenson?

And of course, Draco? 

They will always be my real family. The people who have stood by my side through thick and thin, the people who've held me in their arms when I cry, the people who will cheer the loudest for me. It will always be them.

Not my parents.

For the first time, I was more than okay with that.
