Chapter 1 - Arrival

Torie POV

As I sit here next to my best friend/sister, Taylor I let my thoughts wander, its amazing how much she looks like my mom. We both do I some ways but she's the splitting image of my mother. We both had my mothers caramel colored skin and striking features the biggest difference was our eyes. I had our father blue-green eyes and Tay had our mothers beautiful brown eyes. My dad always said that my sister and mother could get anything they wanted with those eyes.

My dad, I winced at the thought of my parents. 'No tears' I demanded of myself. I hadn't cry yet and I don't plan on starting now. My father always told me that crying showed signs of weakness and weakness is unacceptable. Personality wise, I guess I'm dead even. I got my dads strength and my mothers heart. Im stubborn like my dad and very head strong but like my mom completely selfless. Taylor was like my mom in some ways. Loving and caring at times, but unlike my mother she was sometimes selfish and whiny.

I was my sisters rock. It was always like that. Even when we were kids. She's always needed me in someway or another. She needed me now more then ever. My parents are gone and I have to be that rock now. I allowed myself to remember that night, remember why had to be that rock…

Flashback

It was about four in the morning I awoke at the sound of my cell phone going off.

" Hello? " I growled into the phone, extremely irritated at whoever this was for waking me up.

"Is this Victoria Musso?", it was a voice I didn't recognize, very professional a cop I guessed.

"Yes this is, how can I help you?" I asked, just wanting to get this over with so I can go back to sleep.

"Im sorry to disturb you miss but we didn't know who else to call," I perked up at this.

"There's been an accident, your parents didn't make it, I'm truly sorry."

End flash back

I winced again, then snuck a peak at my sister.

"What's wrong Torie? "she asked, worry in her eyes,

"Nothing Tay," I lied. "I'm just nervous to see everybody. It's been so long since I've seen them."

"Your right! I hope Seth has some really cute friends!" I laughed, she's so boy crazy it's funny.

"Ladies and gentleman we are approaching our destination please fasten your seatbelts and prepare for lading."

I looked at my very exited sister. She couldn't wait to see Seth. Her and Seth practically we're attached at the hip when we lived in La Push. They were born on the same day and everything. Its been 7 years since I've stepped foot in La Push, we moved to San Francisco about 7 years ago. Now we're moving in with my Aunt Sue and my cousins Seth and Lea. Sue was my mother's sister. My mother is Quileute and my father was Italian. My Aunt Sue was all the family we had left. We were fine with that, we loved my aunt more then anything and we grew up with Lea and Seth. They were more like a sister and brother then cousins to us.

We got off the plane and got our bags. We started to look for my family we spotted them and my face lit up as did theirs. I ran up to my aunt and flung my arms around her. Seth already had tay off the ground and spun her. He was so big I looked behind him and saw my beautiful cousin lea, wow was she ever beautiful.

"I missed you Aunt Suzy!" I said almost causing the tears to come, I choked them back.

" I missed you too baby!" she let me go to hug Taylor. Seth picked me up into a tight hug.

"Seth I--can't breath!" he let me down to catch my breath.

"Sorry Torie, Ijustmissedyousomuchimsohappyyourhere!" I caught like none of what he said ,I laughed.

"You gotta breath kid, I missed you too."

I turned to see lea she opened her arms I ran to her and hugged her tightly.

"It's gonna be just fine," I knew what she meant I didn't have to be the rock with lea.

She was the only person in the world that's seen me cry, the only person I would let my guard down for.

"Lee Lee, I missed you, it's been so hard!" I almost lost it

"Hold it Torie, hold on just a little longer. I'm here, your home."
