Chapter 4 Fighting off breaking apart

I stayed on the floor, crying into my hands. Dylan came in. He reached forward to touch my shoulder. I looked up. "What do you want from me!?" I said and crawled away. He followed me as I kept crawling away. "Wait! I jus-" "No I'm not waiting." I interrupted. I rolled under Avalon's bed. I shapeshifted into a mouse and crawled onto the bed's leg. He looked under the bed. "Atlas... I'm sorry.. I just can't stand the thought that we won't be with each other. I just love you so much... I.. I don't want to live with you.." I heard him sniffle. I rolled back out. I ran to him and hugged him. Avaro walked in. "Umm.. Oh... I was just gonna tell you I was gonna leave.. I didn't want to overstay my visit." He turned red when he saw us hug. I turned around and wiped off tears. "Wait no! I wanna figure out this mystery!" I yelled after him. "Ok, ok if you're begging me.." I smiled. I really want to know what happened for me not to know I had a brother. I thought of ways to find out. It seemed the only way was to ask my parents. It made me sad to even think about them. I missed my mothers bouncy, brown curls and her sweet sugary scent. I missed my fathers warm chest and soft hands that used to twirl me and hug me and tickle me. I didn't notice but I started crying. I tried to focus on the good things. Like when we used to go to the meadows, or just have fun at home. I wondered if they were looking at me right now. I hope they were proud. "I'll be with you someday Mom, Dad." I said staring at the stars through Avalon's window. Then I noticed two stars shine brightly above the rest. I knew it was them. They were watching over me. I laughed and wiped off tears.
