Welcome Home (1)
Graces POV
The year was 2012 and my family and I were moving to Santa Carla. My name is Grace Emerson. My parents are Michael and Star, and my twin brother is Quinn. My parents had told us that they wanted to recapture when they had first met each other or something like that, so here we were all packed up and on our way to California.
I had my headphones in, listening to music really loudly so I wouldn't have to talk to anyone, I didn't want to move. I had friends back home, and I was in my second last year of high school.
Dad turned around to say something to me and Quinn but I just pretended that there was something really interesting out my window. Which I realised there was a lot interesting going on. We had finally made it to Santa Carla and it seemed each person in the town had a real sense of individuality, there were Mohawks, afros, and all the girls seemed to have crazy coloured hair.
I was definitely going to stand out here. I had my mother's face, but my Fathers thick wavy dark hair that went down to my waist, my brother was apparently an exact copy of my father. The only thing was my eyes were emerald green, and Quinn's were deep blue.
I saw Dad pointing to something outside and I had a peek, it was the Boardwalk, it looked amazing, I was definitely going there tonight…I would have to suck up to my parents though.
The house we were moving into was huge, it was a two-story and had lots of earthy colours. I ran upstairs ahead of everyone and had a look at the rooms, I saw the master bedroom instantly and ran back out (that room was for Mum and Dad). I went into another room, it had lavender carpet and cream walls, I looked out the window and almost cried, there was a huge ladder type thing against the side of the house with a thick vine climbing up it. Perfect for sneaking out, I thought.
I went back downstairs and grabbed my suitcase once that was dumped on my floor I went back and grabbed my mattress and my bag with my doona in it. I didn't have anything to unpack yet because the trucks that had all of our furniture weren't due for another day. I checked my phone, it said 6PM, and I jumped up and ran downstairs to Dad.
"Daddy?" I said, he looked at me knowing instantly that I wanted something. "Can I please go to the Boardwalk tonight? Please, please, please!" I begged.
He looked uneasy but thank god for Mum when she nodded allowing me out. "Yay thanks!" and I ran upstairs to get ready. I rummaged through my suitcase and found my blue ripped skinny jeans and a black lacy shirt, and my black vans, and went for a shower. I left my hair natural, and put on some eye liner, mascara and pink lip gloss. I grabbed a handful of money and went downstairs.
"Ok, I'm gonna head out now," I said.
"Be home by midnight, Grace," Dad said sternly. I nodded and walked out.
I jumped on my black ninja motorcycle, and headed towards the Boardwalk. By the time I got there it was already 7. The lights were amazing, they were so bright! I parked my bike and started walking down the boardwalk. I noticed some people that didn't look completely crazy, but most of them did.
I got some cotton candy and then I spotted the carousel. I hadn't been on one since the last time I had seen my Grandfather, then a few months later he had passed away. I hurried over to the carousel and got on. I chose a beautiful white and blue and pink horse, it had aged heaps but it was still really pretty. I sat there and closed my eyes listening to the old carnival music. Once the ride was over I got off and looked around.
That was when I saw them.
There were two of them, one of them had dark hair that fell to his shoulders, he had dark eye, and Native American features even though he was quite pale. He was wearing a leather jacket with no shirt on underneath, and black jeans. The other person was pale as well but he had a blonde mullet and light piercing blue eyes, he was fully clad in black.
And they were both staring at me.
In a moment of courage I walked over to where they were sitting on their bikes.
"Hey guys, maybe you should take photo, it would last longer." I said sweetly to them.
"Maybe I'll have to," blonde said smirking. "I'm sorry we're being rude, I'm David, and that's Dwayne," he said politely.
"I'm Grace Emerson," I said taking his gloved hand that had reached out towards me, he lifted it to his lips and kissed my knuckles. Dwayne's eyes got wide when I said my name but David just smirked at him.
" Have you ever been on a bike before, GrDavid asked. I nodded and told him that I had one just parked at the other end of the boardwalk. "Well, you wanna come for a ride on my bike, I promise to make it worth your while," he said. This time it was Dwayne's turn to start smiling.
I smiled at David and bit my lip, "Sure why not?" I said as I hoped on behind him.
"Hold on tight, I ride pretty wild!" he said revving his engine, with that he took off. I instantly tightened my grip around his waist and resting my chin on his shoulder. Within no time we were off the beach, all our surroundings flying past us. I looked back at Dwayne who was whooping and hollering. I laughed and looked forward again, by this time I could see the light house coming into view. We quickly skidded to a stop, I glanced down to see we were mere inches off the cliffs edge.
I got off the bike and started laughing, "That was such a rush!" I exclaimed, running my fingers through my wild hair. David grabbed my hand and started pulling me down towards what looked like a cave. "Where are we going?" I asked them.
I suddenly got an uneasy feeling about being with these guys, I mean I didn't even know them and now I'm going into a cave with them? I'm not the smartest person in the entire world but I certainly should have been smart enough to figure out that this wasn't a good idea. We started walking down steps it was pitch black and I couldn't see where I was going at all. My foot slipped on a step but before I fell I felt four hands holding me up. David and Dwayne.
"The steps are slippery," David said, I could basically hear the smile.
"No shit," I muttered.
Everything around me was lit up; there were random couches all around the place and a massive fountain in the middle of the room and it was filled with all random things. "Wow this place is amazing," I said to them.
"Its home," Dwayne said, speaking up for the first time. Home? These two boys lived here?
"Do you guys have parents?" I asked.
"No, do you?" David asked. I nodded. "What are their names?" he asked glancing at Dwayne who was staring at me.
"Michael and Starr, and I also have a twin brother named Quinn." I said.
David pulled out a cigarette and lit it taking a long drag, he blew out the smoke. He extended the smoke to me, "Wanna drag?" he asked. Instantly I reached out of it and took a nice long, relaxing drag and breathed out the smoke.
Now, I never said I was the well behaved twin, leave that to Quinn.
David pulled out an old looking wine bottle from somewhere I didn't even see and took a sip of it. He passed it to me as I handed him back the smoke. "Wine?" I asked him. He nodded to me.
Dwayne who had been busy looking through a massive chest of draws for something turned around smiling as I lifted the bottle to my lips and took a massive gulp of the liquid. The two boys started hollering and carrying on. Dwayne came up to me smiling telling me about how I was one of them.
I checked my phone and saw that I only had half an hour until I had to be home. "Shit guys, I need to go, almost curfew ya know?" I said.
Dwayne just sat there, but David grabbed my hand and started dragging me out to the bikes.
"Bye Dwayne!" I called out behind me, I heard a chuckle bounce around the cave.
I hopped on the back of David's bike and we sped off towards the boardwalk. I kept a look out for my bike. When I saw it I told David and he pulled over.
"Sweet bike, Grace," he said, staring lovingly at my baby.
"Yeah I love her," I replied getting off his bike. I started to make my way towards mine but he stopped me.
"I have to see you tomorrow night Grace, meet here at let's say 7," he said not really leaving me any room to say no. Not that I wanted to.
"Definitely," I said nodding. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before finally letting me go, and then he was off speeding back towards the cave.
I jumped on my bike and hurried home. I noticed that it wasn't as much of a rush on my bike anymore after being on with David.
When I got home all the lights were off and everyone was already asleep. I ran upstairs. I got changed into my pyjamas and lied down. I had expected myself to go to sleep instantly, but instead my thoughts were plagued by a certain blonde. After a good ten minutes of trying hard to keep my mind blank I finally fell asleep. But it seemed that even my dreams were all about David.
