Chapter 36

                                    

                                          
"Are you okay?" Cedric said 
                          
Once I saw Cedric I automatically calmed down, everything went back to normal. My heart stopped speeding just by the sound of Cedric's voice, I had it feeling it was because he reminded me so much of Aiden. I let out a deep breath of relief and hug Cedric
                          
"Whoa...what's this for?" Cedric said surprised with his hands still in the air 
                          
"Thank you Cedric" I said hugging him 
                          
He then wraps his arms around me and pulls me in. He puts hit chin on my shoulder as I lay my head on his chest.
                          
"Your welcome..but I really don't know what your thanking me for?" Cedric said 
                          
"Cedric..you remind me so much of him, how overprotective you are and yet your so sweet" I said as I hugged him tighter
                          
"Just like Aiden" Cedric said 
                          
I pull back just enough to see his eyes and he looks down at me with a smile. I could see the pure ness in his eyes, it was like his soul had met mine and they've become one. Cedric wasn't just a friend, he was like a brother to me. I gave him that look and he returned it, he smiles while pushing his lips back.
                          
"I've never had a sister but I would sure like to know what it's like" He said smiling
                          
"I would like to show you if you would let me ced" I said looking up at him with my lips trembling as I tried to hold back tears 
                          
"My father would love you" he said laughing 
                          
I laughed back just at the fact that he smiled, that entire night we spent together instead of talking with everyone. Cedric was telling me how he loved to go on camping trips with his father, he also told me that it had been his father and him most of his life. I told Ced how I always wanted to travel the world one day and do it with my family but now they were gone. I looked down with sadness, Cedric grabbed my hand and told me I wasn't alone anymore as we leaned against the tall tree in The Flower Garden. Eventually we came back to reality and realized how late it was, Cedric ended up leaving me at my room and headed back to his dorm. That night I spend the night looking up at my sealing and thinking about how proud my mom would have been to know that I had friends, I guy and a new brother. She was gone but I had made peace with it, she was with Aiden and see was happy. Although it hurt to lose them I couldn't live in the past, I had to live my life not only for me but for them.
