"Beej...you know that isn't who I am. Have I ever said I hate you or used you just to get what I wanted? You've been my only friend since my parents died and you'll always will be. Just because I have the Maitlands and some new friends doesn't mean I've forgotten or abandoned you. Family doesn't end in blood. I swear if you ever forget any of that, I will make the Netherworld seem like a nice place because I'll give you hell." She said, gently lifting his head up so he could see how serious she was about her threat. 

She gave him a little smile before hugging him, giving him the love that he had been denied for a long time. "You're my family, Beej. Always and forever."
