last.” He murmured as he turned onto the highway.

                  Brianna got the distinct impression that Kelsey’s best friend, Amira, didn’t like her. It was more the fact that she would shoot her nasty glares than the rude comments she would murmur whenever Kelsey invited her to join them for lunch, shopping, or whatever they were doing. She wasn’t very big on drama so she’d always turn them down. Besides, she wanted to spend as much time as she could with Jon before his big tour.
                  She was sitting in the studio, watching the band record their new album. The number one song on the record was the one he’d written for her and she smiled as he sang the last verse and looked straight into her eyes. She loved him so much, she didn’t know how she was going to survive the summer without him.
                  “That’s a wrap for the night.” Wayne The Producer (yes, that’s his name) announced.
                  Jon came out of the booth and kissed her forehead. They were supposed to head to the police station to meet their old foster parents for dinner but she could see that Jonathan was hesitant as usual. Of course she wouldn’t make him go, but they’d made an agreement that they would try to resolve things with them. After all, their parents loved them. It wasn’t their fault that the rest of their family didn’t.
                  So, she silently held his hand as he drove them into Denver and pulled into the parking lot of the police station. She silently held his hand as they walked into their old social worker, Janet’s, office and waited for their parents.
                  They were greeted with all smiles and hugs from Janet and her husband, Bill, as they chatted about their childhood and their current lives. Jon announced that he’d just been signed to a record deal and the whole room exploded with Bill and Janet’s joy.
                  “What did we miss?” Aaron Jamerson asked behind them. Standing next to him was his wife, Sarah, who looked like she was dying to get in on the hugging but was unsure if she’d be welcome.
                  She was right. The room went silent as Jon and Brianna stared at their former foster parents. They could have easily passed for her biological parents. She had almost the exact same green eyes as Sarah, and though her hair was curly, it was only a shade darker than Sarah’s dark brown hair. Aaron was tall, dark skinned and handsome. He was also a cop, hence the meeting at the police station.
                  Jon squeezed her hand and she knew that she had to speak first.
                  “Jonathan just got signed to a record label. A major one.” She announced.
                  “Congratulations!” Sarah smiled and hugged him.
                  “Congratulations, son.” Aaron said, shaking his hand. She ignored the fact that she felt Jon stiffen beside her when Aaron called him, “Son”. Instead, she focused on smiling at their foster parents and playing nice.
                  “I just moved into a new apartment.” She announced.
                  Her mother grinned and hugged her. “You know you could always come…. Home.” She finished the last part slowly and looked up at Jon. “Both of you. We love you.”
                  That was it for Jon. He stormed out of the building, leaving everyone in stunned silence. Brianna threw out a quick apology and followed her best friend. She climbed into the passenger seat of his car and watched him send a quick text message to someone before peeling out of the parking lot. She knew what he was going to do and she was powerless to stop him. She just hoped that he didn’t make another mistake. One child was enough for now.
                  He dropped her off at home, but she didn’t move from the car.
