Justin: Tell Hawaii sorry about his shirt

I shake my head and move to the plane

I walk intoroom stops to look at me, but my eyes are on Myla, whose eyes instantly fill with tears

"Maka her arms around me, and the moment I have her in h me

"I’m home I told you I would be"

"I know!" she cries

I tilt her head back and kiss her, absorbing her taste, letting her soak back into hter, and I do the sa could keep me from you Not even the devil himself," I whisper into her ear

She nods then lifts her tear-filled eyes to mine "I love you"

"I love you too" I hold her face in ain, the salty taste of her tearsin with her natural sweetness

"Oh, God," my mom whimpers

Myla wipes her cheeks then steps back

"You’re not dead?!" my sister cries

I shake my head "I had to take care of so ass," Pika yells, rushing towards me, and I brace !" Myla cries

Pika stops halfway and looks at her

"He ca I wanted to tell you guys, but I prolares at her "You cried and screa You flipped out whenever we talked about giving up and having a funeral"

She drops her head, looking at her feet "I didn’t want to have a funeral I didn’t want you guys to give up hope," she whispers

"This isn’t her fault This is on o to her and wrap oing on I couldn’t risk anyone finding out I wasn’t dead"

"I know that we raised you to always do what needs to be done, but this is going too far Your mom was a wreck, and your sister and brother were devastated," my father scolds

"Sorry, Dad, but I had toand no one can har flash in ht you were dead I believed I was going to have to plan a funeral then figure out how to get Myla through this pregnancy without her having a meltdown!" my mom shouts

Guilt strikes me hard She would have done it She would have put her own pain away to make sure everyone else was taken care of

"I love you, Mo her arain and I really will kill you," she says
