Eric and Taylor heard the door open seeing it was their kids, along with Sky and Andrea.
"We were starting to worry you weren't going to find her." Taylor said.
"Luckily we were able to catch up with her to where she ran off to." Megan said.
"Good thing she didn't go far or else who knows." Tyler said.
"Where was she at?" Eric asked.
"The cemetery, to where our mom's tombstone was at." Sky answered.
"I wanted to to apologize on how I reacted." Andrea said.
"It's okay, we understand it won't be easy for you with your dad not around." Eric said.
"And you are not alone, you will have us, we're also your family too." Taylor said.
"Thank you." Andrea said, and hugged both Eric and Taylor.
"We might as well get going. Come on, Andrea." Sky said, and were about to head out.
"Sky." Taylor said, when he turned around hearing his name. "Why don't you both stay for dinner?"
"I guess why not." Sky said.
"Yeah. We like to." Andrea said.
They both stayed around enjoying eating and talking, making them both feel better having a great time, after they were done and helped them pick up a bit, and about to call it a night.
"Thanks for inviting us. Really appreciate it." Sky said.
"Your welcome. If there is anything you both need let us know." Eric said.
"You know you can always count on us." Taylor said.
"Again thanks. Bye." Sky said.
"Bye. And thank you." Andrea said.
"Bye. Take care." Eric said, as they both left and headed their way home, when they arrived, seeing Chase running towards them, happy to see them.
"Hey Chase. Sorry we left you all alone, I'll feed you right now." Sky said.
"I'm going to go to bed, I'm really tired." Andrea said.
"Sure. Rest up, we got school tomorrow anyway." Sky said. "Night."
"Night." Andrea responded, and went upstairs, after he fed Chase and was ready to go to bed, when he heard a knock on the door.
"Sky! Are you already asleep?" Andrea said, and Sky opened the door.
"I was about to, I thought you were already asleep." Sky said.
"I can't sleep. I was wondering if I can sleep with you for today?" Andrea asked.
"Sure. Why not." Sky answered, and Andrea went in Sky's room and started getting ready to go to bed. "Good night."
"Good night." Sky responded, and fell asleep.
The Next Day
At school, Sky was in the library studying a bit, when Megan saw him sitting by himself and decided to sit with him, walking to where he was at.
"Hey." Megan said, when Sky heard her voice.
"Hey." Sky responded.
"How have you been?" Megan asked.
"Okay. I guess." Sky answered.
"How's Andrea?" Megan asked.
"She's fine, it's just not going to be easy with her dad not around." Sky answered.
"Well, your going to have to be there for her, till you leave off." Megan said.
"I wish I can take her with me, but I don't want her to miss out on school." Sky said.
"My parents were thinking of telling you this, but I might as well tell you so it wouldn't have to worry you." Megan said.
"Tell me what?" Sky asked.
"They were thinking when you leave that they can take care of Andrea, that way she can finish off with school." Megan explained.
"Your parents would do that?" Sky asked.
"Of course they will, you know they've been really good friends with your mom and step-dad, we even know my dad was good friends with your dad." Megan answered.
"Right. I know. Remember when I showed you what I drew and you asked me why I didn't draw my dad." Sky said.
"How could I forget, Tyler and I felt bad because you never knew about your dad." Megan said.
"We were kids, we didn't know much, I didn't even know my mom was telling me the whole time about a friend of hers who was actually my dad. I was happy to know I did had one." Sky said.
"Too bad you don't have a picture of him to know how he looked like, neither did my dad when they worked together." Megan said.
"I guess I'll never know, the good thing is that I'm glad I did know about him." Sky said, when the bell rang.
"Looks like school is over." Megan said.
"Yeah. Time to head home." Sky said.
"My parents will stop by at your place much later, even though I already told you about it." Megan said.
"I'll pretend I didn't know about it." Sky said, and both walked their way seeing Tyler waiting for them in the car and started heading their way to pick up Andrea from her school, then dropped them off at their house and saying bye to them.
"How was school?" Sky asked.
"It was okay, not much." Andrea answered. "How about you?"
"Same as your answer." Sky responded.
"I'm going to do my homework." Andrea said.
"Sure. Go ahead. I'll let you know when will eat." Sky said, while Andrea went upstairs and Sky went to the living room to do his homework with Chase by him to keep him company.
After almost an hour, Sky felt like he needed a break then heard the door knock and got up off the couch to answer, when he opened to see it was Eric and Taylor.
"Hey Sky. Mind if we come in?" Eric asked.
"Hey. And sure come in." Sky responded, and both went inside then went to the living room. "I'll go get Andrea." he went upstairs and knocked on her door. "Andrea. Mind if you come down. Eric and Taylor are here." Andrea opened the door and both went downstairs.
"Hi. We weren't expecting you two here." Andrea said.
"Well we sort of came by to talk to you both." Taylor responded.
"About what?" Andrea asked.
"We both were talking about this yesterday, since Sky you'll be leaving soon and also Tyler and Megan too when they'll be off to college, and we were thinking of taking care of Andrea so that way she can finish off with school." Taylor explained.
"You both want me to live with you?" Andrea asked.
"Of course we do, that way you won't feel alone and have some company." Eric answered.
"Nice of you two, to take in Andrea at times I feel like I'm leaving her behind, but I don't want to." Sky said.
"We've been good friends with your mom and Alex, you know we're always here for both of you no matter what." Taylor said.
"What do you think Andrea?" Sky asked.
"I do appreciate both of you to take me in, I'm glad to have you around and consider us also as family." Andrea responded, and hugged them.
"We might as well be leaving, like we said if there is anything, don't bother in telling us." Eric said.
"Sure. We know and thanks." Sky said.
"Bye. Take care." Eric said.
"Bye." both Sky and Andrea responded, as Eric and Taylor left.
Night had fallen, as Sky was about to get ready to go to sleep, but first he had to go check on Andrea and went to her room.
"I thought you were already asleep." Sky said.
"I just have things in my mind." Andrea responded.
"Like what?" Sky asked.
"You know, thinking about how my dad is doing." Andrea answered.
"Maybe one day he'll come back. Who knows where he's at right now." Sky said.
"You think will be okay for the next few months?" Andrea asked.
"Well I'm almost close to graduating high school and your soon going to end your middle school year, I might as well start working for a bit and since you'll be living with Eric and Taylor, we might have to sell the house." Sky explained.
"Things would have been still easy if mom was here." Andrea said.
"I know, think about her all the time and how much I miss her." Sky said. "Try to get some sleep. Tomorrow is a another day."
"I'll try. Good night." Andrea said.
"Good night." Sky responded, and left her room then went in his room, seeing Chase already sleeping, then laid on his bed falling asleep.
A Few Months Later
Months have passed, Sky and Andrea had been doing alright adapting themselves and maintaining with their studies too, since then Sky along with Tyler and Megan had graduated from high school, and Andrea had also graduated from Middle School. Eric and Taylor had helped them out with whatever they can, even watching over Andrea, while their kids along with Sky had temporarily summer jobs until till they go off to college even going to some trips too. As the days were near for them and getting ready to leave soon, Sky had to sell the house with Eric and Taylor's help, with Andrea moving in with them and was ready to leave.
"Looks like we are all packed here and ready to go." Tyler said.
"Whenever you guys are ready." Megan said.
"Hard to believe you two have grown so fast and now your both ready to start of on your own." Taylor said.
"It won't be the same with you two not around, I already miss when you were kids." Eric said.
"You have no idea how much I'm going to miss you both." Megan said.
"Same here, being far away won't be easy." Tyler said, as he and his sister hugged their parents.
"Good luck, both of you." Taylor said.
"Take care." Eric said, as they both went in the car, and needed to wait for Sky.
"I know you'll be okay with Eric and Taylor, you'll even have Chase to keep you company." Sky said.
"It just won't be the same without you, even Chase knows it." Andrea said, while Chase was whimpering sad at Sky.
"I'm going to miss you too, and our morning runs." Sky said, and petted Chase.
"Do your best at school, always listen to Eric and Taylor, and take really good care of Chase." Sky said.
"I will. I promise." Andrea said.
"I promise to write to you." Sky said, and hugged her. "Bye"
"Bye." Andrea responded.
"Will take good care of her. Best of luck." Taylor said.
"Take care and safe trip." Eric said.
"Thank you. Both of you." Sky said, and hugged them. "Bye."
"Bye." they both said, as Sky walked to where Tyler and Megan are.
"So this is good-bye?" Megan said.
"Yeah. I guess it is." Sky responded.
"But not for good. Who knows if will see each other again." Tyler said.
"Only time will tell." Sky said.
"Well. Good-bye Sky, will always be best friends." Tyler said.
"Good-bye Tyler, we always were." Sky responded.
"Bye Sky, I wish you the best." Megan said.
"Bye and thanks. I'm going to need it." Sky responded, as they all hugged, then waived good-bye to Andrea, Eric, and Taylor, getting in their cars and started driving their way off to a new beginning.
