Disclaimer: I only own Natalie, her sister and the plot. Nothing else.
Let's Play Pretend
I remember the day that my sister broke my parents heart. The day she took off to LA. She wasn't even out of high school before she left. She didn't want my parents to hold her back anymore. They weren't holding her back. They were making her safe.
My sister wanted to be a model. It was her dream. But there was a couple things holding her back. One was the fact that she was only 5'6. She said that typical models are around 5'8 or 5'9. The other thing was the fact that the model agency said that she was 'too fat'. My sister and I were not fat. We were curvy. We had lots of curves and were known for having bigger chests.
I told my sister that she was beautiful. Because she was. But she didn't listen to me. She got upset and she started eating less. She got thinner, and she started wearing high heels. She changed almost everything about her. She bleached her nice long, brunette hair. It was now bleach blonde and straight.
Then she left. She broke my parents heart. They had so many expectations for her and she let them down. Not only that but she also fell in love. My parents didn't approve. She told them off. She hurt them over love. They started fighting more and more. They then put all their expectations on me.
I let them down. I couldn't fill her shoes. I disappointed them more than she had. Then if that wasn't enough, my dad got really sick. We didn't know what was wrong at first. We went to the doctor and he said that it was too much stress.
I knew what the stress was from. My sister. If she hadn't had fallen in love, then she would've come back. My parents didn't come out and say it, but I knew they blamed her too.
From then n things were sensitive in our house. We didn't mention my sister. We didn't want to and we never would. After a while things were getting better. My parents were starting to loosen up and let me live a little more freely.
But then my parents died. They were killed by a bear or something like that. I didn't want all the details. I just knew that when things started getting better, they got worse. I was an orphan. My family's lawyer tried getting a hold of my sister. She did call back but she told them that she wasn't my sister anymore. She said that she wanted nothing to do with me.
"Hello Natalie! It's your lawyer calling. Listen I tried getting a hold of your sister and asked if she would take you. However before she could call back I found out that someone had adopted you. So pack your bags missy! You're going to be a daughter to one lucky couple!" I erased the message as soon as I got it. I didn't want to be adopted. I wanted my sister. I wanted my sister to take care of me. But that wasn't going to happen. That's why I was here. On a bus. To La Push.
I didn't know anything about who had adopted me. I just knew that they lived in La Push. I knew that they would be there to pick me up. Other than that...nothing.
"We are stopping at La Push. Everyone who needs to stop at La Push, get ready." I got my stuff together and noticed that I was the only one. I sighed and shoved my phone back in my bag. The bus stopped and the driver got out and got my suitcase. He handed it to me and I took it and said thank-you with no smile on my face. I didn't want to smile.
I looked around and saw a bunch of people walking by or talking inside. I sighed and looked down at my very worn black converse. These were my favourite. My best friend drew little cartoons and random drawings on them. She coloured them and labelled them. But my favourite drawing that she had on there was one of a wolf. The wolf was my favourite. She made him grey with black spots. I loved that one. It was my favourite.
I was drawn out of my thoughts by my phone vibrating in my pocket. I picked it out of my pocket and answered it.
"Natalie! How are you dear? That's great! Listen, so the couple that adopted you, they were so sweet. They are Sam and Emily Uley. They are very nice and you'll love them. Just remember to be polite and be considerate." I nodded and listen to my lawyer go on and on. I didn't want to hear this. I wanted to sleep. I needed sleep.
"Oh dear. I must go now. Remember be polite and please don't go on and on about yourself and how much you hurt." I rolled my eyes and I snapped my phone. I was so mad at my stupid lawyer! Don't go on and on about yourself Natalie! My parents just died and she's practically telling me to just forget about it!
I looked around at the people that were walking by me. Some were giving me weird looks and others were glaring at me. Everyone around me looked so tan and tall. Compared to my short and pale. I looked down at my converse and then looked back up. My phone started ringing again and I knew that it was my lawyer again.
"How dare you hang up on me! You have no idea how disrespectful that is! You keep acting like that and you will have no family at all! They are going to get sick of you if you keep..." I pressed end and then threw my phone on the ground and stomped on it. I heard a cough and I looked up and saw a really really pretty person standing in front of me.
"Hi. You must be Natalie. I'm Emily. This is my husband Sam." I smiled and then frowned and looked down at my converse.
"Are you alright?" I nodded and sighed. I just needed to survive until I was 17. When I was 17 I could do whatever I wanted.
"Alright then. Let's go and get you home." I nodded and followed silently. I didn't fit in here. I wasn't going to fit in here. I was too pale and too short.
I followed Sam and Emily to the truck that they had and got in. I buckled up and rested my head against the window. I closed my eyes and tried to forget what happened.
I woke up later by someone shaking me. I opened my eyes and saw Emily smiling at me. I sat up and rubbed my eyes and sighed. I guess that we were here.
"Come on sleepy head. We're here." I slowly got out and took in the surrounding. There were huge tree's everywhere and everything was green. I liked it though. It was peaceful.
I walked towards the house and was in awe. The house was amazing! It was big and white. It had a porch and a porch swing. It was amazing. Way better than what you would find in the city.
"Natalie, I can show you to your room if you want?" I nodded and walked into the house. I saw Sam and Emily kissing and I looked away briefly. Emily giggled and I got a confused look on my face when I realised that she was laughing at me.
"Sam has to go run some errands Natalie, so it will be just you and I." I nodded and shrunk away when Sam walked past me. I was slightly afraid of him. I mean he was HUGE. He looked at me and smiled and I smiled weakly and shrunk away some more.
"Natalie? Your rooms upstairs, first door on the left. I would show you where it is but I have to start cooking supper." I nodded and walked up the stairs and walked into the first door on the left. I opened the door and smiled.
There was a huge bed against one wall, and a dresser against another. There was a desk and a mirror, but that was it. I laid down under the covers and felt sobs coming. I tried to keep them from coming, but eventually just gave up. And started crying and sobbing.
