Forks Washington, the town that my parents were uprooting my 4 younger brothers and myself to; the town that was to reluctantly be our new home. I understand why we had to move though; My Father, Edwin Harris Sr., is a college history professor and had been offered a good position at some private college in the Olympic peninsula, which is why we are moving. My mother, Emmeline, is a well-known and published author who can work pretty much anywhere she can hook her laptop up to the internet. My mom always wanted to move to a smaller town up north, so when my dad was offered the job in Washington State she had urged him to take it. So we packed up our belongings and left our beloved home in Texas to start forming a new home in Forks.

20 hours, that is how long I have been driving with my brother Edwin, and we still have 17 hours left to go. We had been following behind my parents S.U.V in my hybrid. Edwin was riding with me because my parents did not want me driving the entire time on my own, and thankfully they made our three younger brothers ride with them. And while Edwin and I love our brothers after two hours in the car with the twins would make anyone want to pull their hair out. Greyson, our youngest brother, on the other hand was very good on long car rides as he tended to fall asleep the entire trip.

"So, Gentry, what do you think Forks is going to be like?" Edwin asked as he went to change the cd that was in the player.

"I don't know," I replied "but going by the size of the town it is probably going to be boring as hell" I finished in a bored tone.

Edwin laughed at this "Want to take bets on how many people ask us if we rode horses to school?"

"Man if people ask me that I'm going to respond by telling them that I ride a tractor to school instead of a horse." I end up laughing by the time I get the phrase out of my mouth.

Both of us are laughing when my phone begins to ring "Ed can you get that" I asked my brother.

"Sure" he responds as he leans to grab my cell phone out of the cup holder.

"Hello you have reached the phone of Miss Gentry Rose Harris, my name is Edwin how may I be of service," he stated after he hit the answer button.

I giggle at this while my brother talks on the phone.

"Okay bye Mom" he hits the end call button, he turns to me "We are stopping for gas sooner or later and mother wanted to let us know that we need to remember to follow them." As he finishes relaying his message, I nod my head and then turn up the music.

Three hours later, we pull over at a gas station in the middle of nowhere.

"Ed, would you mind pumping the gas while I go to the restroom?" I asked as we pulled into the pump behind our parent's car.

"Sure." he replied.

"Want anything while I am inside" I inquired.

"Sweet Tea if they have it." he answered.

Soon we were headed back out and onto the road again and headed toward our new home. We stopped in Spokane for the night and continued the last leg of our journey the next morning.

"I will be so glad when we can get out of the car and stretch our legs this ride has been a bitch." Edwin griped 4 hours into our ride.

"Honestly Edwin, at least you are not driving. It could be worse than just me and you in the car we could have all been forced to ride in the S.U.V which would have been even more cramped than this." I chastised him.

He shuddered at the thought of being stuck with the twins and Greyson in a confined space for 37 hours.

"Your right Gentry, that is a much worse alternative than this." he stated "Hey I am going to take a nap will you wake me up when we get into forks?" he asked.

"Yeah, sure I'll wake you up when we get there." I told him.

Soon I heard his breathing even out and glanced over to see his head laying on his pillow against the window, now that Edwin had fallen asleep my mind started wandering. We would be starting school soon at the end of August, and I hoped it was similar to what we were used to back in Texas. We were lucky enough to be starting at the beginning of the school year rather than in the middle of a semester, but none of us had any friends up here and Texas was a completely different world than Washington. It would be easier for my younger three brothers to adjust to a new school in a new state. It was Edwin and me that I was worried about. Edwin was starting his sophomore year in where the amount of kids in the entire school was the amount that was in his graduating class back in Texas. What kind of friends is he going to make is he going to get into trouble. Things like this caused me to worry and stressed, Edwin called it my mother hen instincts; but in actuality I was worried about him because it is my job as his older sister to care about him and our other brothers. I my case I was worried about a whole bunch of things like my classes, will I make friends ,what plans for college do I need to make before graduate, and then I am worried about my brothers on top of that. My dad told me that I needed to relax and let some things work off themselves, he said that while I do need to worry about some things college is two years away and that it is him and my mother's job to worry about my brothers and myself. That does not stop me from worrying though it is a bad habit of mine to worry and stress over little things. I take one hand off my cars steering wheel and run it through the mass of red curls that I call my hair, and then I see it a lovely highway sign that states

"Forks 16 miles" I whisper that out loud before going to nudge Edwin "Ed, wake up we are almost to forks." I inform him before turning the music up and continuing down the highway.

Around 20 minutes later, we see another sign that stated Welcome to Fork. My brother looked at me and said.

"Welcome to our new home Sis." He says to me.

'Yeah welcome home' I thought. I had no idea what sort of changes coming to this small town would make on my life nor did I realize how big these changes would be.
