The next morning, I woke up at Bri's house.
I ate breakfast, and he spent a little bit of quality time with me out in the garden talking before we left.
Cotchford Farm was my home. I knew it like the back of my hand. I knew it just as well as Keef's house. That was also a second home to me.

Then Brian put me in the car, he got in and we drove there.
-It's not close by like when I'm at Keith's or Bill's house.

When we got there, Brian parked the car, but before I got out he said he had something to give me.

"Now, I know The Stones, and I all ready gave you a small locket necklace,
Brian began to say as I placed my small hand over the necklace that hung from my neck.
"But, I wanna give you something else, Alex."

He told me to close my eyes, and I felt him place something in my hands.

"Open buddy."
He said cheerfully.

As I opened my eyes, I found he had placed a box in my hands.

"Go on, open it Alex."
He said softly.

I did.
I found a silver bracelet that read:Brian Jones, with a heart Ingraved next to it.

"Thanks so much Brian! I love it!"

"Your welcome, bud."
He said as he hugged me.

"I hope it'll remind you that your my son, as much as you belong to Keith and Mick. I know we won't forget about each other, and we won't be apart for to long. And no matter where you are, I'm with you, and will find you."

He put it gently put it around my right wrist, and hugged me tight.

We walked in.
There were lots of kids here.

"Hello, I'm Derek. May I help you sir."
One of the guys who worked there asked.

"Yes. Hi. My name is Brian Jones, this is Alex. My band and I have been fostering him for a while now, and we got a call, well our bassist got a call saying that we had to return him."
Brian said.

"Which orphanage called?"

"Cradles Home."
Brian answered.

"Has he been to any other orphanages?"

"Yes, Over The Rainbow."
Brian answered.

"Ok, I'm gonna need to ask him some questions, sir."

"Alright."
Brian said.

We followed Derek into the office, Brian sat down, and put me on his lap.

"Ok, let's begin. How old is he?"
Derek said.

"Three."
Brian answered most of the questions for me as I sat on his lap with my arms lightly rapped around Brian's neck. Me, I was half asleep, while Brian's arms cradled me.

"Birthday?"

"December 10th 2012."

"Any allergies at all?"
He asked.

"Not that I'm aware of.
Brian said.

"What happened that he needs an orphanage?"

"I don't wanna talk about it."
Brian said.

"Ok. Thanks, that will be all."

"Ok, Alex I forgot to tell you. There's a tracking chip in the bracelet, The Stones know, I told them. When you fostered again, or if you leave the orphanage, we can locate you. Keith, Mick and I have an app on our phones, ok?"

"Yas."
I nodded.

He pulled me close, and gave me a hug.
He whispered "I love you bud" in my ear before letting go.

The guy motioned for me to follow him and I did, as I looked back at Brian, and tears came to my eyes.

"Alex, come back, I wasn't fished!"
Brian said wanting me to come back over to him.

I ran to him, of course, he picked me up, and gave me a big hug.

"Goodbye Alex, son."
He whispered.

"By, daddy Brian."

I said as he ruffled my silky, golden, blonde hair on my head, before I walked back over to the guy, tears now streaming from my face again, as Brian walked out the door, looked back, and waved and then stepped out for good as I disappeared behind a wall, and was shown to my bed.

Brian's POV
'I hated myself for doing that.'
'I miss Alex already, It's only been 2 seconds!'
'Was it me, or is he a mirror image of me?'
'Alex looks just like me.'
'I love and care about him to much for me to have to do this.'

That's what was running through my head after I left.
For the rest of the night and into the next day, all I thought about was Alex.🏴
