Prologue
Jason's mother died when he was four years old. From then on, he and his father Aaron had lived alone for three years before he met his wonderful new wife Lisa. Lisa had a daughter named Aaliyah before she and her husband divorced. They had gotten married right out of high school and while they have remained friends it just didn't work. At first, Jason was thrilled to have a new mother. Although he missed his biological mom, he loved Lisa and welcomed her with open arms. However, the thought of having to share everything with a new step sister never once crossed his mind. The same with Aaliyah, she was used to being the only child, and being spoiled rotten. Her mom and dad gave her an allowance to shop, get her hair done and mainly whatever else she enjoyed doing. She never had to do a chore, but the moment she and her mother moved in with Aaron and Jason, both of their worlds changed forever.
Aaliyah and Jason have always been good kids. They never got into any real trouble, mostly followed all the rules, made excellent grades and, their parents were very proud of them. It's the very reason they allowed their youngest son, Cameron, to move in with them when he began to act out. They hoped that how responsible and mature Aaliyah and Jason were would rub off on him, and he would soon follow in their footsteps. Aaliyah and Jason lived in a quiet little apartment not far from the College they both attended.
After graduating high school, they both received full scholarships and decided to find a place together to save money since neither wanted to live in the dorms or at home. After all, they had always gotten along pretty well as children; aside from in the beginning learning to be a blended family and, the usual occasional little spat that any two siblings would have. Over time, Jason and Aaliyah had practically become best friends. There weren't many times you would see one without the other. They were both even studying to become Teachers. They knew that being in college and trying to take care of their fifteen-year-old little brother and, with them only being twenty and twenty-one themselves, wouldn't be an easy task but, they loved their parents and their little brother, and wanted to help.
Cameron had made the deal that he would go to school every day and do his best as long as he could live there. Cameron mostly was just in the stage of " I'm almost sixteen, I can make my own decisions." He just wanted to feel that he had his freedom. Although he still had to go to school and he still had to help keep the house clean, somehow he got that feeling at Jason and Aaliyah's house.
Chapter 1
It was bright and early Monday morning, Jason had already left for class, but Aaliyah's first class didn't start until ten. She went in the kitchen to fix herself and Cameron some breakfast. Soon she heard footsteps coming down the hallway of the beautiful two-bedroom apartment they lived in.
" Good Morning Cam," Aaliyah said as her brother entered the room "Sleep well?"
" I guess, but I still could stand at least another hour or two."
"Come on Cam, breakfast is almost ready; go wash up so you can eat and get to school on time."
"Can't you just write a note and say I'm sick, just for today?"
"Cameron Amahaud Davis, you know the deal."
Cameron chuckled. "Ok mom; you can't blame a guy for tryin' "
"Don't play with me, you already know I have no problem turning into Lisa Renea Peirce Davis at any time needed."
"Don't we all." Said Jason, walking in after realizing that his first class had been canceled for the day. Everyone laughed and sat down to eat the big breakfast Aaliyah had prepared. Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, fruit, and fresh orange juice. Somehow she always cooked way too much. More than likely because her mom had always taught her to cook extra just in case someone happened to stop by. In reality, this was something that
