The door opened and I covered my face.

Shit

I wiped my tears and I looked at the person. He stared at me for a while and his dark cold eyes softens a bit when they met my pale broke ones.

"Mi wid fawud back,"

"Okay,"

He left and I made sure to lock the door once he was close.

"Thank you," I said when Austin passed me a plate of food.

"You're welcome," he said before pouring syrup on Aiden's pancake.

"Knox's pancakes are you the best," Aiden announced.

"Continue spreading the good word little king," Knox said as he made his way around the kitchen.

"I-I captain," Aiden said with a grin.

He started eating and but I didn't have much for an appetite. Soon I felt sick so I left the kitchen.

I went to my room and went to the bathroom. I wasn't sure if I wanted to throw up or it was just a bad feeling.

Minutes later my door opened and Aiden came in.

"Are you okay mommy?"

"Yes hun," I said and he nods.

"Knox said we're gonna have a pool day and he's going to teach me how to swim,"

"Oh really that sounds fun," I said and he nod with a smile.

"Can I change?"

"Just tek off the shirt a swim ina uh shorts,"

"Okay mom,"

He leaves and I went back downstairs. I sat in the living room and turned the television on.

Before I even found something to watch I started zoning out.

My mind went to my sister and I sighed. I ran my fingers through my hair as memories kept flooding in.

Where did we go wrong?

"Paige,"

"Paige,"

I looked up and Austin gave me a small smile.

"Sorry mi neva hear uh," I said and he sat next to me.

"You alright?"

I thought about it for a while before answering.

"No," I said while looking at my fingers.

Yes is always the better answer.

The answer everyone wants to here because if you say yes....dem no affi ask or deal wid why uh no alright

"I haven't be okay in a long time," I said before looking through the glass door of the living room.

We could see Knox and Aiden having fun at pool. We could also hear loud laughter.

Aiden seems happy around him

Super happy at that

"Aiden love him,"
