Howie was talking to Brian when he saw Allie walking down the stairs.
"God she is pretty.." Howie sighed and walked over to meet her.
"Hmm that must be the girl AJ was talking about.." Brian muttered and walked away.
"Hi Beautiful.." Howie leaned in and kissed Allie's cheek..
"Hi yourself handsome." Allie was shaking as she took Howie's arm...
"Well let's go and introduce you to some of my friends..." Howie placed his hand on Allie's and guided her through the crowd.
"Brian, this is Allie..Allie this is one of my best friends.."
"It is so nice to meet you, " Allie smiled at the cute blonde standing in front of her..
Howie introduced Allie to Kevin and Nick and then when to find AJ.
Meanwhile AJ And Chia were walking towards the group..Brian did a double take and saw AJ walking with Allie..."What the hell..." Brian was confused.."I could have sworn that Allie was wearing a black dress, which this girl was wearing but her hair had been all down..."Hmm...too much Mike's hard Lemonaid I guess." Brian shook his head and walked over to AJ.
"Hey Bone, Hey Allie.."
AJ looked at Brian with a strange look on his face.." Ah Bri..this is Chia..Chia this is my friend Brian..
"Huh...I just met you, you were with Howie.."
"Oh you met my sister Allie..damn did Howie tell nobody..I am a twin..My sister Allie met Howie this afternoon."
AJ looked at Chia, "you're a twin. you mean there are 2 of you? I cannot imagine that there is someone just as beautiful as you...when were you planning on telling me?" AJ grinned.
"Well I just thought Howie had told everyone...I guess I was very wrong.." Chia laughed.
"Well I want to meet your sister...come on let's go find her.." AJ grabbed Chia's hand and ran to find Allie.

"Wow, you move really well.." Allie shouted over the music at Howie.
"Thanks, so do you.." Angle of Mine came on and Howie pulled Allie in close to him..
"I love this song, it reminds me of my mom and dad.." Allie said her voice cracking...
"Allie, you will get through this, I know it is hard but it gets better, I am dealing with the loss of my sister and each day gets a little bit easier.." Howie smiled at the redhead in his arms.
Allie smiled back and rested her head on Howie's shoulder.

"So AJ, do you live here with your parents?" Chia was sitting on the deck of AJ's house looking out at the crashing waves and the moon reflecting on the water.
"No this is my house, it is the first thing that I can finally my own..My mom raised me, and for the longest time she was all I had..My grandparents were great too but sometimes I miss having the father figure in my life..." AJ smiled shyly at Chia. "So what about you, do you have your own apartment?"
"Well Allie and I lived on campus until last week...now we have to decide whether or not we want to keep our apartment or keep the family home."
AJ reached up and brushed the tears that were running down Chia's face.."Howie told me about your parents, I wish I could tell you I know what you are going through, but I can't..What I can tell you is that things will get better, it will be hard and it will take work, but with your sister and your friends they will help you stay strong and plow ahead."
Chia leaned over and hugged AJ "Thank you AJ..."
AJ held her in his arms and squeezed her tight...He pulled away and he looked into her big blue eyes and leaned in to kiss her. As his lips brushed against hers he felt her hands brush against her face..
As the two broke apart they smiled at each other and walked in to join
the
party.
