Chapter 1 : New Beginnings

As I packed away the last of my closet items I thought about of Forks will be. I wondered if everyone would be nice, I hoped my horse, Mayan, is adjusting nicely to her new barn, and if my Mamma, Carrie, and myself would fit in. I knew our "Texas twang" would stick out , that was obvious.

Sadly I would be joining Forks High School in the middle of my junior year, that is gonna be worse than anything, anyone could dream of! But I was lookin' forward to meetin' new people, I'm a people person, just like my Mamma.

I'm allot like my Mamma in some ways and not in others. I have her piercing blue eyes, and long mahogany, wavy hair. But I have my Daddies' thin nose, and full lips.

I don't really think of him as my Daddy anymore, I mean he ruined our whole family! How could I forgive him for what he did! Carrie is always so full of happiness- you could see it radiate from her- and then he does what he did! I've never seen Mamma look so horrible, all she did was mope around the house muttering uncomprehending things, she only wore pyjamas, she never went out of the house, and she wont eat anything. Everything about her was empty, her eyes, her heart, everything. And it was all his fault! I'll never be able to forgive him. If Carrie didn't have me, I don't know what she would have done. I made her go out with her friends again, I made her favourite meals for her, we went shopping, everything. When none of those worked it was time for something drastic, we had to move, she needed to get away from Austin, Texas and all the horrible memories that haunted here.

It seemed to turn her around, but it may only be a show, I'm no mind reader. The only way I can still have that assumption is I still hear her screamin' in her sleep. I wish I knew how to make her all happy again but things like this need it's own mind to fix it, not an outer force to force upon it.

I let Mamma do the fun part of choosing the house and where to live. I don't know what made her choose Forks, but I do know what made her choose the extravagant house we are going to be living in. We do have quite allot of money, what from Mamma- she is one of Austin's best dentists- and myself with my horse competitions, and some of the commercials Mayan and myself did. Out of the entire South, Western part of the United States I was the top best horse jumper. So with all of my money from commercials, and competitions and Mamma's dentist money, we have allot.

"Lainey, are you ready Baby Doll? It's time to go!" Carrie called to me. I stood up and took one more look around my old room one last time, and with a sigh told Carrie is was comin'. I've lived in Austin my entire life, it was hard for me to move and move far away. But I would do anything for my Mamma, she all I have left.

It was a five hour flight from Austin to Port Angeles and a one house drive to Forks. I don't mind flying, it's just driving for anything length of time, that I can not do! I mean at least with flying you can stand up and move around, with driving you only sit there and stare out a window at the rode. But the one hour drive isn't that bad though, anything over an hour is horrible!

The whole way to the airport I listened to Kenney Chesney to show my respect towards our home, also 'cause I just love him! I went to his concert a few weeks ago, and when he took his shirt off, oh man! Was he yummy! Half of the airplane ride I was focused of Kenney's abs and listening to his music on my i-Phone. I didn't realize I had fallen asleep until Carrie was shaking me, tellin' me it was time to get off.

Our cars arrived at Forks two days ago along with a few larger items. So when we got off Carries', Pearl, Ferrari Enzo was waiting by the sidewalk. As we got in the car Carrie took a deep breath and mumbled something like "ah, smells like home." And I had to agree with her, I did miss home too. I also really miss my baby girl Mayan, I wonder how she is anyway, I hope she as hay and fresh water right now.

This is my first time to Forks, but it is Carrie's second time, so all of this is new to me. And I have to admit it really is beautiful out here, all green and mossy, wet. I think I might really like it here, well outside at least.

And just as I expected, the one hour drive to Forks was pretty bad, but like I mentioned, not too bad. As for the house, I loved it! It was huge! It was like this old antique kind of house, but also timeless in a way... It had a large deck surrounding the front door. The inside was even better than I would have thought. The first thing I saw was the spiral staircase! Ever since I was a little girl I have always wanted a staircase like this! The whole bottom floor was mainly consumed of the kitchen! I love to cook, so Carrie must of planed that out! The living room was just a little smaller than the kitchen, but that was okay, it's not like I would spend much time in there with a kitchen like we have! And on the second story was Carries room, w-o-w. It was huge! It was at least as big as the kitchen , maybe even bigger ! Her rooms main colors were blue and brown , I had to admit I really liked it. It suited her perfectly . My room was the third floor , I loved it! My walls were a light blue with on one wall a whole assortment or brightly colourd polka-dots , and the rest of the walls had many of my favourite sayings on them! Connected to my room was my bathroom , it was practically it's own room on it's own. And across the hall was my ...closet ! It was a room on it's own !

I was really going to like it here , well so far anyway ...
