BEHOLD! I AM NOT DEAD BUT UNFORTUNATELY I WAS GETTING PRETTY CLOSE FOR A WHILE SO I WAS UNABLE TO UPDATE ON MY (COULD BE) DEATH BED. IF THE STORY IS STILL ON MY PAGE THEN IT SHALL BE UPDATED EVENTUALLY. SO LET'S START A NEW STORY MY HOME SLICES^^ I'M COOL RIGHT?
I OWN NOTHING. NOT EVEN MY HEALTH.
.

The actual definition of family is as stated; any group of persons closely related by blood, as parents, children, uncles, aunts, and cousins.
Considering I have none of those things and you can't exactly magically create a set of parents, I've come to terms with the fact that I just don't really have a 'family' per se. Of course I had a wonderful family when I was a child but it wasn't long after I was born that my mother became ill and just slipped away while she was sleeping. My father was devastated but he carried on for my sake, he was a wonderful man who thought only of my needs when he married a nice woman from town. They were married for almost seven years before my father passed away after he was in an unfortunate car accident.
Ms. Annabelle Johnson wasn't the typical step-mother you read about or saw in movies, she was a genuinely good person and she cared about me and my older sister and even let me live with her after my father died and my sister was busy working out of state but she just..wasn't..family. I really wish I could see her as my own mother or even just family in general but for some strange reason, I can't. I know it sounds selfish, it is selfish but..
I want a family all of my own.

''I'm leaving! Bye Annabelle!'' Kimberly Ann Connweller called out to her guardian as she left for school.
''Have a great day Kimberly!''
.
.
''Morning Lucy,'' Kimberly greeted her best friend of almost twelve years Lucy Baker.
''G-Good m-morning K-K-K-'' ''It's fine. Just 'good morning' with do the trick,'' Kim teased.
''S-Sorry,'' Lucy mumbled. Kim smiled.
''It's no problem Lu.''
''Oh! I've been waiting all morning to tell you something super important!'' Lucy squealed.
''Well it must be important since you aren't stuttering,'' Kim commented.
''It is! Jared is back in school! Along with Paul, Quil, and Embry but you don't really care about them,'' Lucy smirked. Kim's eyes widened.
''H-He's back in school?''
''Now you sound like me,'' Lucy giggled. ''But I haven't even told you the most interesting part! They all look like they've been taking steroids for like five years.''
''What do you mean?'' Kim asked in confusion.
''I mean muscles, muscles, and more muscles,'' Lucy answered with a small blush. Kim looked around in confusion.
'Jared..'
''Well look who it is, the orphan and the retard.'' Kim turned around and came face to face with the cruelest person she had ever had the displeasure of meeting in her life and the love of her life, Jared Cameron's girlfriend until he broke up with her shortly after he left school feeling sick; Aria Black.
Lucy began to bite down on her lip and look towards the floor while Kim just glared.
''I guess you heard the news Kimberly dear. My Jared is finally back at school and better than ever and even more so out of your league,'' Aria smirked.
''Can you still call him 'your Jared' if he dumped you?'' Kim questioned. Aria frowned.
''That was just his fever talking! No one in their right mind could possibly want to break up with moi.''
''Well clearly Jared did. Don't say another word to Lucy understand?'' Kim grabbed Lucy's hand and left without another word.
''You're so cool when you stand up to Aria Kimmy. I wish I could,'' Lucy mumbled.
''I'm sure you've noticed I can't seem to say a word when she belittles me, but I'll never let anyone bully you if I can help it,'' Kim sighed. Lucy smiled.
''Thanks Kimmy.''
''Don't worry about it. Besides, you're the first and only real friend I've ever had,'' Kim smiled while Lucy blushed.
''Me too.''
''We should get to class, we're already late thanks to Aria,'' Kim sighed.
''Yeah. Kim?'' Lucy uttered. Kim looked at her. ''Aria is wrong you know? If Jared would just take the time to really look at you and get to know you, I just know he could fall in love with you,'' She whispered.
Kim smiled. ''Thanks. You know as soon as you actually start to legitimately like anyone I know they would definitely fall in love with you,'' She giggled.
''It's not my fault I seem to have high standards,'' Lucy muttered. ''I'm just looking for a..unique quality of sorts. Something that not everyone else has.''
.
.
ACHOO! (I don't know.)
''You okay Paul?''
''Are you getting sick? Stay away from me.''
''Werewolves don't get sick idiot.''
''Shut up you morons!''
.
.
ACHOO! (Once again, I just don't know..)
''Seth? You alright?''
''Yeah. I hope I'm not getting a cold though.''
TA-DA! NOT REALLY ANY JARED IN THIS CHAPTER, THAT'S UNFORTUNATE BUT HE'LL BE IN THE NEXT CHAPTER SO DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT IT. I'M NOT SURE WHEN I WILL UPDATE THIS AGAIN BECAUSE I HAVE OTHER STORIES THAT SHOULD TAKE PRIORITY OVER THIS ONE SINCE I DID JUST START IT SOOOOO IT'LL HAPPEN WHEN IT HAPPENS. *shrugs* REVIEWS PEOPLE, REVIEWS.
Question of the day: Who would you like for Lucy? Paul or Seth? Unfortunately Quil and Embry are pretty much taken. Sorry^^ The cut off to answer is probably chapter three.
