Auggie and Ava was still talking. "Auggie, I am sorry that your mom and dad are gone. I know me and Topanga smack talked each other all the time. But I really did like her, she made it fun giving her a hard time."

"Really Ava? Because there were times that I thought you two hated each other."

"NO! I loved Topanga. We had a love hate kind of love for each other. With your mom I could tease her by being a smart mouth while she got annoyed a lot. If I didn't like her I wouldn't have been that way. I would of being nice and polite Miss Goody two shoes Emily Weathersby who has the hots for you!" Ava exclaimed. By now she had tears silently streaming down her face. "It was like a game her and I played. She would carry me to the door. I would say 'wee' and she would slam the door in my face. I loved every minute of it. And I know secretly she did two. She would usually be smiling like she was trying not to laugh each time. And your dad I thought was just hilarious all the time. Especially when we read that one book and he did the funny voices. I wished my parents were more like them instead of being uppity snobs."

Auggie didn't know what to say. "I don't know what's gonna happen Ava. They won't let us out of their sights. I haven't left this place since it happened, and now everyone is in there trying to decide where me and Riley are gonna live. I can't even have Mr. Googily. Ava Morganstern, it is like we have been married for 52 years! I love you and don't want to leave you. Your my best friend. Promise me what ever happens you'll always be in my life?"

"I do Auggie Doggie Matthews. I promise to always be there for you. Your my best friend too." Ava opened her arms and wrapped them around Auggie in a hug. He was hugging her back when her mom walked in and told her they had to leave. The one time her mom looked actually heartbroken for the kids. Usually she seemed like a frozen pop with the stick to far in. This time she actually seemed human.

"August, I am sorry for the loss of your parents and uncle. Do you know who will be taking you in?"

"I am not sure yet Mrs. Morganstern. They are deciding me and Riley's fate now." Auggie looked down at his shoes fighting back the tears. He was the man of the house now, and he had to be a man now. Real men don't cry he thought.

"August I know this is a really hard time for you. But I want you to feel free to write and visit Ava whenever it can be arranged. Right now it is getting late so we need to be leaving Ava."

Ava looked back at her mom and nodded her head in understanding. She walked over and hugged Auggie fiercely not wanting to let him go. Before she let go when she saw her mom had turned to leave; she kissed Auggie on the cheek. "I love you with all my heart August." She whispered it in his ear so her mom wouldn't freak out. Yeah, they are really young and shouldn't even now what real love is. However Auggie and Ava had a innocent love to them. Only time would tell if they would actually be together when they were full grown adults. However in their young hearts their love was pure and true. Regardless of what others thought or said. Auggie will always be the love of Ava's life.

Auggie waited for them to leave before he broke down and let all the pain out. While Riley had been blaming herself for the deaths of their parents, Auggie had done the same. He was blaming his self for wanting to go to that store when the girls were ready to leave. He thought had he had said ok and went home like his sister wanted everything would be back to normal. He couldn't hold back the floods of tears anymore. He was sitting in the corner with his knees pulled to his chest crying when Morgan found him. Sitting down beside him Morgan draped an arm around the little boys shoulders. When he looked up at her she was crying too. He jumped up and sat on his aunts lap as she cradled him some what while they shared their grief together.

Josh was feeling suffocated by all the emotions and thoughts running through his head. How could he say that to Maya. She had enough on her plate. What was killing him even more was seeing the pain in her beautiful blue eyes. He just wanted to get lost in her blue eyes and stay there for eternity. Yet in his mind he was to old for her. He was leaving for college soon. What about when she gets to go to prom and they won't let him attend because of his age. Or when other guys ask her out and he would be away to college. Did she really think if they dated she would be able to wait for him? Nope he didn't want to do that to her. She needed to be able to live life and be with someone her own age. Someone that can be able to take her out to the school dances. Someone her own age that she don't have to wait for to do things with. He loved her too much to put her through that. Even if that meant missing and losing her to another guy.

He was so preoccupied with his pain and thoughts he had no idea he was being followed. He was roughly shoved into the alley way all of sudden and thrown against the brick wall. "Do as I say and you won't die." The voice said sounding demonic.

"Look my wallet is in my back pocket. I only have $20 in cash on me. Take it its yours. Just please don't shoot me."

"I don't want your money you dumbo. Listen to me good I only have a few minutes." The man pressing Josh up against the wall said.

Josh stiffened up and nodded his head in agreement. "Good boy. Now listen carefully. You need to get the Matthews kids and the Hart women out of town now. There is a hit out on the girl and the Hart woman because the saw the hit man. They also will kill anyone in the way. They are planning do the hit at the funeral. I mean it, if you don't their blood is on your hands."

"Who, who, wants them dead? Can you tell me that?" Josh asked as his voice cracked a little.

"Don't trust the 25th. They have spies on his payroll. Have the gov investigate the last 10 cases she defended. That's all I can say. Wait 5 minutes after I leave and then go straight back to the apartment. Get them out of town without being seen or else. Don't turn around until I gone either." He shoved Josh hard into the wall before leaving. Josh waited the five minutes before running all the way back to the apartment. He refused to lose another family member again, especially Maya.
