Twilight Redone Chapter One
Omg I am so sorry! After I deleted it I looked at all the reviews and they were all good! I just deleted it because I thought it was awful! So I decided to redo it! Lol! Ok here we go Twilight TDI redone!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything! Don't sue me please! Haha
PS- I decided to switch things up, and attempt to make this more original.
"Gwen honey I'm going to miss you so much!" my mom said tearing up. I was moving to Washington to live with my Dad, it's a long story but I'm sure you can keep up. My Dad, Steve, got my Mom, Carolyn, pregnant in her junior year and gave birth to me in late September of her senior year. They got married the summer after they graduated high school and it didn't last, my mom left my dad when I was nine months old. I've been living in Florida my whole life. When I was two my mom remarried my step dad, Jerry, and they had my half brother, Ethan. From the time I was three to twelve I had to spend my whole summer with Steve, but I hated it in Washington. So from age thirteen to now, I just spent two weeks there. So why am I moving to the place I hate you ask? Answer, because I love my mom. Jerry is a minor league baseball player so he travels a lot, and my mom knowing I hate sports stayed home with me while Jerry and Ethan went to the game. I know it makes her unhappy so I decided it was time to spend some quality time with good old Steve, knowing I was going to be miserable.
"I know. I'll miss you too Mom." I said hugging her goodbye.
"Call me as soon as you get in." she said still tearing up.
"I will." I promised.
"Goodbye Gwen!" she said waving her last goodbye. I sighed. Welcome to my new wonderful life.
The plane ride was easy to bare. I pretty much slept the whole time. The plane ride was the least of my worries though. What really bothered me was the dreaded ride with Steve. I am way more like Steve than my mom. My mom is really bright, bubbly, irresponsible, outgoing kind of person. Steve and I are both more introverted, keep to ourselves kind of people. So the ride was bound to be awkward city.
"Hey Gwen." Steve said grabbing my two heavy black suitcases.
"Hey Dad, thanks for letting me come live with you."
"It's no problem." I was right. The car ride was awkward. It was a two hour drive and we only had two short conversations. About thirty minutes had passed and neither of us had spoken yet. I sighed and stared out the window, dreaming of Florida.
"I got you a coming home present." Steve said startling me.
"You didn't have to do that. What is it?" I replied curiously.
"A car." I could feel my face light up. I desperately needed my own car.
"I think this is the first time I've ever seen you genuinely smile." Steve said smiling.
"I could say the same thing about you. What kind of car is it?" I asked.
"A truck. It's pretty big though, kind of monster like. Is that okay?" That is more than okay, that's perfect! Of course I didn't say that, instead I said…
"Yeah that's cool. Thanks so much Dad."
"You're welcome." And conversation number two…
"Your hair is kind of, different. What color is it?" my dad asked. Ugh by different he means ugly I bet.
"It's black with teal highlights." My hair is naturally dark brown. I dyed it my sophomore year. My mom let me dye it for my 15th birthday since she couldn't afford a car. The only trait I had from my mom was my eyes and face shape. Everything else I inherited from Steve here, same hair color, nose shape, even personality.
When we pulled into the driveway the first thing I saw was my monster truck.
"Wow Dad thanks!" I said running towards it in admiration.
"Glad you like it." I was staring at the truck in amazement. This was my ideal car, it was navy blue, a monster truck, and the tires were awesome looking.
"Why don't we go inside?" Steve suggested. I was so lost in amazement I didn't even notice it was pouring down rain.
"Oh yeah let's go." The house was exactly as I remembered, just your average little house. There was a kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, not much but it was good enough for me. I took a seat on the gray couch in the living room. The couch had been here since my mom and Steve moved in together. I looked around and noticed there were pictures of me from when I was first born to now all over the walls. I also saw a picture of my Mom and Steve holding me at the hospital.
"Is this when I was first born?" I asked curiously. He seemed embarrassed.
"Yeah." I nodded and set the picture down.
"I put your bags in your room if you want to go check it out." Steve suggested.
"Yeah I'll do that." I decided once I settled in I'd call my mom.
The room was just your average room. The walls were light blue and the bed was medium sized with my black quilt that said Gwendolyn Marie Parker 9.29.92. My grandma sewed it for me and gave it to me for my 1st birthday, I've used as a blanket since. My room also consisted of a desk, closet, drawers, and book shelf. I set my laptop on the desk, placed my number of books on the shelf, and hung my nice clothes and school clothes in the closet and my casual clothes and pajamas in the drawers. Now it was 10:00 pm and I was exhausted. I decided to go ahead and call my mom knowing she'd talk my head off.
"Gwen! Are you just now getting in?" my mom demanded.
"No. I got here around 8 but I wanted to settle in first."
"Oh. Don't scare me like that Gwen! I thought something happened!"
"I'm fine mom."
"How's Steve?" she asked.
"Fine." My mom did talk my head off all the way to 11:30 pm.
"Mom it's 11:30 and I have school tomorrow." I said.
"Oh right! I'm sorry for keeping you up honey! I know you'll make lots of new friends."
"Yeah right." What friends? I'd never had friends. Ethan was my best friend and he's my brother.
"You will! Good luck, night sweetie!"
"Bye Mom." When I finally managed to get off the phone with her I decided I'd take a shower in the morning. I brushed my teeth quickly and changed into my black tank top and red plaid booty shorts. I curled up under my blanket and sighed, reality crushing down on me that I was transferring to a new high school tomorrow in the middle of my junior year, great idea. Not.
Okay I think this one is better! I put more detail and everything! And to show my apologies I'm going to do chapter two at like three in the morning! I always stay up all night on new year's! Again I am sorry! I thought it was really bad and I deleted the first version before I read everyone's reviews! Please still review and alert this one I promise I won't delete it! Lol! Thank you dear reviewers! Lots of Love, ashbash13
