"What do you mean?" I said once I calmed down a bit.

"Baby what's going on" Jc said quietly in the background. I waved my hand as if saying 'shhh'

"Apparently somehow they identified it as Jonah Cleavlend. Austin is still alive somewhere Taylor." my mother said happily. He was always her favorite.

I was in shock and couldn't say anything else, so I hung up and sat down on Jcs bed again.

"Holy crap." I whispered to myself. I wasn't sure whether to be happy or sad. My brother could still be alive. I've thought he was dead for almost 5 years. It's given me so much anxiety and depression and when I met Jc it all went away, until we broke up, so I've recently been getting over the feeling again.

"What Taylor."

"Austin is alive, the body they identified as Austin isn't him." I said with as a tear rolled off my cheek. Jc smiled.

"That's good right?" He asked

"I've spent the last 5 years thinking my brother is dead, and he might not be. It's good, but it's shocking and it's not fair. I could've been looking for him this whole time!" I said as I wiped away my tears. Jcs smile faded.

"He'll show up." He said. I nodded. Hopefully he'll show up. I need to calm down. This is all so stressful.

I kissed him and then walked out of the room. I walked down to Franny's room and Bobby was sleeping next to Franny. Corey must be in Kians room. I walked up to Bobby and shook his arm. He opened his eyes and looked at me.

"I'm gonna go home and come back in the morning. Do you want to come with me?" I asked him. He glanced at Franny then back at me.

"Yeah, Yeah sure" He said as he rubbed his eyes and then stood up. He followed me out to Kians room. Kian and Corey were talking.

"Hey we're gonna head to the house." I said. Kian nodded and so did Corey.

"I'll stay here and call if anything happens." Corey said as he ran his hand through his hair. Bobby nodded.

Bobby and I walked into the house. We had totally forgotten about the cats and dogs. Wishbone, Winter and Cappy ran up to us, barking. We petted them and said hi, the callapsed onto the couch, exhausted.

"Bobby please don't mess this up for Kian." I said as I petted Indie's furry little head. Bobby sighed.

"I won't. I'll get over it. I met this girl, Sage at Starbucks and she's really really cool." He said. I giggled. Sage deserves someone like Bobby.

"What?"

"Sage is my bestfriend. I met her at Starbucks too." I said with a smile. Bobby laughed.

"Oh." He smiled back. I honestly don't think Bobby knows her and Kian ever had a thing, and I don't think I should tell him. Kians happy with Franny so Bobby can have something good too.

"You know what Boba?" I asked him. He didn't answer. I looked over at him. Little snores came out and I giggled. I'm not mad at him anymore, I understand where he was coming from. Then I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I woke up with 3 missed calls from Corey and 1 voicemail. So did Bobby. I'm the voicemail Corey said "Franny woke up! She's doing good but her speech is messed up and she'll need physical therapy for awhile but she can go home within the next week or so. Kian is doing better and he'll need to stay for the same amount of time. Jc can go home tomorrow but he'll need physical therapy as well. Everything is ok."
