NOT flesh of my flesh, NOR bone of my bone, BUT heart of my heart, AND soul of my soul

"Hey I am your new neighbour, I thought I would just say--Blaze?!"
"KATHERINE?!"
------------------------------------------
I was suddenly engulfed into a bone-crushing hug by my dear friend Katherine.
"Hey Katherine can you let me go I kind of can't breath..... "I say. She immediately lets me go and I can breathe again.
"You i***t! You just met your best friend after five years and the first thing you tell is 'hey Kathrine can you let me go I can't breath' seriously Blaze?!" she says mimicking me.
"Wow you seriously haven't changed you are just the way you were.. Irritating as hell and a complete idiot." I say rubbing my temples and waiting for her to-
" Huh?! What did you just say you i***t!? You haven't changed either. You are still your annoying self!!" she says. Well yeah that's what I was telling you about.
"Move out of the way you annoying i***t. I want Oliver!" she says pushing me out of the way and walking inside I followed behind her.
"OLIVER!! Where are you my love?" she yelled around the living room. Yeah she calls Shane by his middle name Oliver. Soon after that small footsteps were heard thumping and out came Shane. They just stood there rooted in their place. Oh! show down time..
"SHOT YOU!" Shane yelled and pretended to shoot her by lifting two fingers. And they burst out laughing.
"I won!!" yells Shane and finally they both run and hug each other like they were lost siblings who finally found each other. I rolled my eyes. It feels like Katherine is more of a sibling to Shane.
"Guys I am really sorry to disturb your moment but my pasta is waiting for me and I don't like eating it cold you can join us Kat" I say and walk into the dining room and serve myself some pasta and mm... surely Mr. Brooks makes the best pasta in the world.
After breakfast all three of us head to Katherine's place which is right across from ours. Their house was cute and in grey color.
"Mom! I am home and look who is with me!" she yelled. God what is with everyone yelling today? Mrs. Foster came out and her eyes widened as a smile spread across my face.
"Is this...?" and even before I know it I am again engulfed into another bone crushing hug.
"oh my! Blaze how are you sweetie?" Yeah she used to call me sweetie.
"I am fine Mrs. foster. How are you all and why was I not informed that you are in town?" I asked once she let me go. She immediately slapped my arm.
"Oww!! What was that for?!" I say rubbing my arm.
"Where are your manners? Have forgotten what you used to call me? Huh? five years have surely changed you" she said turning away from me. And before I could say anything
"Mommy?!" I heard Shane yell. Well she not our biological mom and neither adoptive but we still call her mom. After the death of our actual mom Katherine's family supported us a lot, emotionally, and that's how we call her mom. And Katherine's family had no sons, they had two daughters, Katherine and Kaira, so me and Shane were practically the sons of their family. We were, in Katherine's words 'brothers from another mother'. And because Shane was only two when mom died and he doesn't even remember how she was, the only thing he knows is that he got his eyes and hair from mom and that mom is in the heaven.
" See Shane is my only son" she said scooping him up and hugging him.
"Fine then I am here only for my girlfriend. Where is she?" I asked
"Up in her room but I suggest you rather not go up there she is kind of pissed off at every one because she didn't want to come here and leave all her friends back at California" said Katherine.
" So she doesn't know that we are here?' I ask
" Well only mom and dad knew about it. They wanted it to be a surprise for us" she replied.
" Well then I am going" I say and go up to her room. Her door was obviously closed.
"Knock knock!! Look who's here!!" I say knocking at the door.
" I don't want to know! Wait.... why does your voice sound like...." right after that I heard footsteps come to the door. The door open and there she was my little princess. I smiled widely looking at her. Wow she has grown so much. She looks almost Shane's age. Again I am crushed into a hug. owie! what's with the bone crushing hugs today?
"Oh my god! How did you com here!? I thought you were in Manhattan?" she says. Oh God! she is so adorable
"I am still in Manhattan love, you are the one who has come here. And guess what I am your next door neighbour! "I say Excitedly.
"Really?! Yay!!" she yells and hugs me. We both go down and talk for sometime with Mr foster... I mean dad.
And later me and Kat take the kids to the park. Where we stayed until lunch time. The kids played while me and Kat did some catching up on each others lives. Then we headed back and helped with setting up the house until the evening and I asked Mr Brooks to prepare for dinner as we still had to set up the kitchen.

( Writer's pov)
"WHERE IS MY OTHER SOCK?!"
" AND WHERE IS MY TIE?!"
"BREAKFAST IS READY!"
"I CAN'T FIND MY OTHER SOCK!!"
"NEITHER CAN I FIND MY TIE!!"
"BLAZE!! WHERE ARE YOU!? HELP ME FIND THEM!!!"
"CAPTAIN HOOK PLEASE HELP ME!!!!" Shane was yelling and running all around the house. And Blaze and Mr Brooks were standing near the kitchen door and watching him run from left to right folding their hands.
"Shane your sock is in the garden, your tie is in the drawer." Blaze said
"GARDEN?!! WHAT IS IT DOING THERE?!" he yelled. And both Blaze and Mr Brooks had to cover had their ears due to his high pitched voice.
"Shane Oliver Dawson stop yelling!!" said Blaze.
"Sorry. But what was my sock doing in the garden?" he said going to the garden.
"Yesterday you and Kaira were playing sock fight remember?" said Mr Brooks.
"ONLY 10 MINUTES FOR SCHOOL TO START!!! BLAZE!!" he yells
"I freaking have 2 hours until my classes start and the only reason I have to wake up this early is to make sure he wakes up and gets ready for school." Blaze mutters under his breath rubbing his temples. This was a typical early morning in the Dawson house
10 minutes later both the brothers were all ready and heading towards Shane's school. They exchanged their goodbyes and parted their ways. Blaze went back home and got ready for his college which was in an hour. He reached the university on time, he always does and sat through the classes occasionally taking notes.
Today his college happened to finish early due absence of a few teachers. So he decided to go and pick Shane up from school which was normally Mr Brooks duty to do.
Meanwhile in Guttenberg (A/N it is a place in New York).
"Start the G-radiation." says a deep voice belonging to Jacob Damon. "He gave me a real chase, it took me almost 10 years to find him.. Now its time to come back home son " he adds
Back in Manhattan, Blaze starts hearing a piercing sound. Like the one he used to hear in his nightmares but this was with less Intensity so it didn't bother him so much. He was driving to Shane's school but his concentration wavered and the car kept on drifting off lane. He could hardly bear the agonizing sound coming out of nowhere. He swore his ears would bleed if the voice continued. He slammed the brakes and stopped the car across Shane's school. He decided it would be best if he walked there instead of taking a U-turn.
"Intensify it I want him to awaken after the years of sleep" said Jacob to his co-worker who complied immediately.
Back here Blaze dropped to the ground clutching his hands to his ears as the sound suddenly intensified and got louder. Through the voice he heard another voice calling out to him. He opened his eyes and found Shane on the other side of the empty road who started running towards Blaze happy that his brother had come to pick him up from school.
Blaze looked to his right to find a truck in high speed approaching Shane.
"Shane! Stop!" he shouted but no avail the kid was far from him and his voice came out as a mere whisper. Shane was quite small for the driver to see.
" Shane! stop!" Blaze shouted the same thing a little louder and Shane looked to his right and froze in fear. The truck was too near and too fast for him to escape.
"SHANE!!"
