Chapter 1
*Flashback*
"Wait! Summer, when are you going?" I screamed.
She stopped running and turned around, her dark brown hair flying across her face, her deep blue eyes piercing through mine.
"Where are you going?" I said again, calmer now that she stopped.
"I have to go." Her usual happy voice, know sad and serious.
"Go where?" I asked, stepping towards her.
She stepped backwards, making the distance longer.
"Away from you." She whispered.
"What? Why?" I said stepping closer and holding out my hands.
"I—I c—an't be with you…anymore." She whispered again, looking at the green forest floor.
And then, my little ball of sunshine, vanished. I never saw her again. She was like me, we understood each other, and then one day she left. Took her stuff and ran. She was always smiling, always helping others, helping humans, even when her thirst was so strong.
Summer kept it under control. She kept me in control.
I sadly waited there in the forest for days. Hoping that she would suddenly come around smiling saying, "Hey, I was just joking. Why would I leave you? I can't believe you believed me. Your silly." And then she would smile at me and say, "Hey, let's go back home now. I won't play jokes on you anymore."
But it never happened. Days, week, months, Summer never came back.
I waited and waited there. My eyes glassy. If she went away, I wanted to go with her. My life had meaning when she was there. My life was happy.
But, now that she's gone, life seems unbearable. Unapproachable.
Reality hit me, many years ago.
Summer wasn't coming back.
*End of Flashback*
Today was the first day of senior year…again. Different school, different people, different teachers. I got out of bed, took a cold shower, and put on some clothes. Over the vacation I moved again. To a different town. I moved to Forks. No Sun, only rain. I didn't want anything reminding me of Summer. Summer equals sun. Plus, I can't go out in the sun. That's why I needed her. She was my daily sun. But she wasn't coming back.
I stepped into my black BMW and drove to Forks High school. I got a good parking space and decided to wait in my car until the bell rang for school. I already checked in with the office and got my schedule. I know the school.
After a couple of minutes, a lime green jeep drove into the parking space next to mine. I looked through the tinted windows, knowing that whoever was outside couldn't see inside.
The door opened and out stepped a beautiful girl. As she turned her head towards my car, my eyes widen.
She looked exactly like Summer. Dark brown, wavy hair, deep blue eyes, peachy lips. She was wearing black cowboy boots, black skinny jeans, and a black t-shirt with pink, red, and white angel wing on it. She was carrying a black bag. Her outfit made her eyes pop and her dark brown hair seem lighter. She was….beautiful. She was…Summer.
She locked her car and walked up to the school and into the office. Her cowboy boots going click, click, click. Each step like a slap in the face. She didn't know I was here. She didn't come for me. She didn't know I moved here. But when she sees me, she's going to leave. All these years and I only get a 10 second glance. All those years…
The bell rang and I got out of my car. I walked to my first period class and tried my best to look like I'm actually learning, when really my mind was on Summer.
The day went on and on. Lunch, she wasn't there. The last period of the day was chemistry. Rumor has it, that I got the meanest teacher for chemistry. Whatever.
I opened the door right when the bell rang and walked inside wary. I gave the slip to Mrs. Morrison and took a seat in the back.
"Goof afternoon class. Welcome to Senior Chemistry. I do not tolerate any misbehavior in this class. Thank you for choosing you own seats, but I make seating arangements. This will be your partner and seat for the whole year."
"David and Rose, you may have the seat in the front by the window."
Mrs. Morrison went down the seats. Then she called my name.
"Nathan Cullen and Summer Moon, please sit at the table 3 rows down on the right."
I heard a sharp intake of breath. I ignored it and moved to my seat. I'm going to look at her when she takes the seat next to mine. Click, click, click. She sat down gracefully and put her hands on the table. I slowly turned my head and looked at her.
Her body stiffened. She slowly turned her head towards mine. 5 years and I still love her. Summer's blue eyes pierced through mine.
"Hey." I said.
She looked at me for a few seconds and then whispered, "Hi."
"I'm glad you came back."
"I didn't come back for you. I had to. I was running out of places to stay." She said seriously.
"Oh." I looked at the ground and at her boots. Old, dusty, leather. Vintage. It looked good on her.
"Yeah." She said and turned back towards the front.
That was our conversation of day 1.
Hey, hi, glad you came back, ha yea didn't come back for you, oh.
Summer was stern. She wasn't smiling. Her ray of sunshine…was gone. Just like she had run away with it. Her blue eyes didn't have that glow to them anymore.
They were dim.
I was lonely.
And it seemed like Summer didn't care.
The bell rang and Summer hopped out of her chair and went straight to the parking lot.
I walked towards my car and I looked at the parking space where her jeep was.
There were skid marks. Like Summer was being chased. Like all she wanted was to get the hell out of here.
What made my ray of sunshine so angry? What made her bitter?
Summer just wasn't summer anymore.
She was more like…winter.
Cold and frozen.
