My names is Elle Taylor, I'm 17 years old and at the moment I'm moving with my father, ever since my mother and father divorced me and my twin sister, Alice have been moving every few years from one to another, a few months ago Alice decided to finish up her high school at a intern school in England while I moved back to my father's house in the states.

I walked out of the air port running trough the light rain to get a cab when I saw my father, uncle and both my cousins Drake and Mike waiting for me outside waving like crazy at me, the four tall men where easy to notice among the crowd. The four of them where incredibly alike: the first one to catch my eye was Mike he is a year younger than me and I can barely reach his shoulder now, he is the only one out of the four that doesn't have black, but a reddish brown hair and honey eyes, his feature had gotten much more sharp than they were the last time I was here, at his left was my uncle Bill who wasn't as tall or toned as his two sons but was still pretty big for me, he had his dark hair down to his shoulder and dark brown eyes just like his older son Jake who resembled to his father the most while Mike looked much more like his mom and right next to Jake was my dad, smiling and waving happily.

It was like a day hadn't passed since I last saw him, he seemed just as childish and lively as always, as I got closer a noticed my aunt Grace was with them too, she is a slender woman, with light brown eyes and long wavy red hair, as soon as I reached them Jake caught me in a tight hug lifting me a little from the floor , I couldn't help but laugh a little as he squished me tightly, the rain got heavier so we left the proper greetings for later, we jumped on Grace's mini-van and drove to the outsides of town to the small house complex we all lived in, as we drove by the main street of the complex I noticed how it had expanded by a few houses and y managed to se trough the rain a couple of houses at the end of the street quite isolated from the rest.
We drove into my uncles drive way right across the street from my father's house

-what's up with those houses?- I asked grace as we set the table.

-they're a small community that moved here a few months ago- Grace said disappearing trough the kitchen door, I looked back at my father for further explanation

-they are a big group of people, they are tree siblings and their respective partners who take care of everything, they took in different people with them, they have a bunch of kids living with them now.-

Graces brought in the food and we sat down, after dinner we took some time with Jake and Mike to catch up, after the rain became much lighter the doorbell rang and Grace went up to open the door, I heard a couple voices and two people came in, fist a woman came in taking the hood of her gray coat of letting her golden locks fall over her slender shoulders, she leaned to greet Grace and walked in and towards her

- Hello, you must be Elle! I'm Lyla Cole, its so nice to meet you- her voice sweet and endearing. I couldn't help but smile at her, right behind her a Tall man with bright green eyes and dark brown hair smiled right at me. Lyla looked at him and back at him.

-this is my husband Evan- she said

-It's a real pleasure to finally meet you, your father has been talking about you the whole week- he said reaching out to shake my hand, his hand was cold but I supposed it was because of the weather outside compared to a living room filled with people, the two of them where so polite and nice I couldn't help but think they just couldn't be real; A while later, when I could barely stay awake we want back home, I went to my room in the second store of the house where I usually slept.

Dad had changed the decoration it had 4 years back and was now much more simple, the walls were white and the floor was now wood, and the window now was much bigger than before.

-is this al you brought?- dad said bringing my two middle-sized bags

- hmm yup- I said putting them by my closet, just taking put some pajama pants and a shirt

-hm… you need more clothes…-

-its ok dad I'm fine like this for now…I just want to go to bed now-

-we could go to the mall tomorrow if you want- he kept on dribbling on and on not listening as usual until y pushed him out of the room giggling a little

- we'll talk tomorrow, good night- I laid down under the covers and feel asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow.

Well that's all for now…its not very thrilling I know, but its just the first chapter so if you have any sort of comment about my writing or some way you think I could improve the next chapter please tell me! I really want to know!
