"Ugh where is she!" Carlos screamed out in frustration after they had been looking for the toddler for 30 minutes now and he was starting to really panic. They had checked all of Mal's favorite spots, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Just as Carlos was about to break down his phone rang and he saw it was Ava causing him to panic as he didn't know that Ava already found Mal and knew that he lost her. "Oh no!" Carlos screamed out in panic making Evie look at him in both confusion and concern as she didn't understand what was going on.

"What's wrong," the young girl asked her new friend who just sighed as he tried to calm himself, but he was freaking out. "Ava is calling! She's gonna flip if she finds out I lost Mal," Carlos told Evie with panic in his voice.

Evie just nodded as she quickly got an idea as she didn't even let Carlos process what was happening. She just quickly grabbed his phone and answered it for Carlos not wanting Carlos to get in trouble and she knew Ava couldn't do anything to her.

"Hello can I help you," Evie said over the phone in her sweet voice making Ava who had been trying to call Carlos get upset. "Where is Carlos," Ava asked Evie who just looked at Carlos who was panicking as she answered again.

"Oh he's um... getting food. He left his phone with me though. What's wrong," Evie asked Ava in her fake innocent voice making Ava roll her eyes as she knew that tone. It was almost exactly the same tone she would give to people like Dana.

"Oh please I'm not stupid. Where is my brother," Ava told Evie in her stern voice making Evie sigh as she knew Ava was too smart for this and it was just going to be an endless cycle. "I'm sorry I tried," Evie quickly told Carlos who just nodded sadly as he took the phone from Evie who just walked off to the side and sat down not wanting to get involved when it wasn't her business.

"Oh um hey Ava. Why are you calling," Carlos told Ava, trying to act like everything was normal when he was still panicking inside. "Oh I was just calling because someone wants to say hi," Ava told Carlos in her tone that Carlos was always afraid of.

It was Ava's way of saying she was angry without flat out saying it. "Wait who wants to," Carlos began but was interrupted when Ava handed the phone to the toddler who giggled as she held the phone up.

"HEWO!" The small two year old screamed out excitedly before handing the phone right back to Ava and running off to play with her toys. "Wait you found Mal! I mean..." Carlos rambled out as he was so excited that Mal was safe he totally forgot about the fact that he was the one who lost her.

"Save it Carlos! I already knew you lost her! I found her wandering around the Student Union by herself and she was trying to talk to Mason who I can't stand. I trusted you to watch her for a few hours while I worked on some designs and you couldn't even do that," Ava screamed out over the phone making Carlos wince at Ava's harsh tone.

He hated whenever his big sister got angry especially when he hadn't meant to let Mal get out. The small girl was just sneaky and small it was easy for her to get past them. "Ava I didn't mean to! I was studying, so I don't fail freshman year and she snuck out!" Carlos told his sister in frustration as he was getting defensive and he didn't even realize his mistake until it was too late.

"WHAT!" Ava screamed out making Carlos' eyes widen as he realized what he just did. "Ava I can explain that," Carlos quickly told his big sister hoping to stop things from escalating as he knew he was making things worse for himself.

"You're failing 9th grade!" Ava asked in disbelief making Carlos gulp in fear as he knew he was a goner for sure, but just as Carlos was about to say something again the phone was once again stolen from his hands as Evie who had been trying to stay out of it couldn't take it anymore.

She knew what it was like to constantly try your best and still not be good enough as her mom was constantly yelling at her and making her feel bad about herself when she was doing all she could to be the perfect daughter. And because of this she knew Carlos was trying. He just didn't understand it, but that wasn't his fault and that was why she was there.

"Hi Ava right. You need to stop treating Carlos like that. He's trying his best, trust me. I've been tutoring other kids too and they don't care. They just want me to do the work for them like that annoying jerk Chad, but Carlos is different. He is actually trying and we've made a lot of progress. It's my fault Mal got out. I opened the door to leave and I must have forgotten to close it when I decided to stay. I'm so sorry, but please don't blame Carlos," Evie told Ava, making Carlos look at her in shock as no one had ever stepped up like that for him before except for Ava back before all this happened.

Evie was like a younger, more sweeter version of Ava and it was honestly starting to freak him out a little. "Okay I'll tell him bye," Evie told Ava as she hung up then handed the phone back to Carlos.

"So what did she say," Carlos asked Evie nervously, making Evie just sigh as she looked at the young boy. "She said she wants us to come back now," Evie told Carlos who just nodded as they both walked back to Ava's dorm.

Once they got back to the dorm Carlos took a deep breath as he was prepared for screaming, but instead he was met with a hug as Ava pulled him into a tight hug making Carlos look at his sister in shock not knowing what to do as he wasn't expecting this reaction.

"Okay what is going on," Carlos asked his big sister, making Ava laugh a little as she released him.

"I just realized that I've been really frustrated and stressed lately and due to that I've been taking it out on you and I shouldn't be. And I'm sorry for not being understanding, but I just want you to succeed. I should have done it in a better way though. Look I'm still new at this whole parenting thing and to be honest I have no idea what I'm doing," Ava told Carlos making him laugh as he couldn't help it.

"Oh yeah no kidding. Mal is two and still drinks from a bottle," Carlos playfully told Ava, making her laugh as she picked up the toddler that was sucking on her bottle. "Hey in my defense you did that. I've just given up on taking it away. I'm sure she'll grow out of it anyway," Ava told Carlos as she bounced the toddler making them all laugh forgetting that Evie was still there.

"Um I hate to interrupt your family moment, but I just realized I missed the last bus and I can't drive yet due to my age," Evie told the others as she felt awkward just watching the siblings.

"Oh right I forgot. You can just stay here for the night," Carlos told Evie without even talking to Ava first. "Wait what," Ava asked in shock as she didn't agree to Carlos just inviting some kid to stay, but just as Ava was about to tell Evie no that she couldn't stay there she got a weird feeling and for some reason decided against it.

"Okay fine one night," Ava told Carlos and Evie, making them smile excitedly. "Okay great thanks Ava! Come on Evie let's take Dude to the park! Bye Ava see you soon," Carlos quickly told Ava as he left with Evie leaving Ava alone with the toddler.

Ava just sighed as she looked at the toddler. "Well Mal it's just you and me, so do you want to help me design," Ava asked the small who giggled as she nodded.

"Okay great! Wait I forgot something! I'll be right back, don't move Mal!" Ava told the toddler as she placed her down and went to look through her stuff trying to find

her sketchbook with her designs.

While Ava was doing that the small toddler found herself wandering towards another box as she started to play in the box. Ava just signed when she finally found her sketch book, but found the small girl now playing in some box she had never seen before.

"Okay Tiny let's get you out of there and where did you get this paper, " Ava playfully told the toddler as she picked her up from the box and took the paper that Mal had been chewing on away.

Ava was left in complete shock when she actually got a look at the paper and started to read it. "Oh my god!" Ava practically screamed in shock and disbelief as she just kept staring at the papers and reading through them not knowing what to do.
