Today was the day. My last day at Bayview. I said my farewells to all my friends. I couldn't let go of the blonde haired girl, with special violet eyes. She held me so tightly in her arms I almost popped like a balloon. Rebecca Vriend, was her name. She was my best friend at Bayview. She was everything to me. I didn't and couldn't say good-bye to her in just ten minutes.
There, at the end of the hall was a boy with blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. He was wearing jeans with a chain, and a black polo. He looked right at me and walked closer. I released Becks and stared into his eyes.
"It's time to go," he said in a soothing voice.
"Oh, hey Soul!" said Becks.
Soul Hayes, was my second brother. He was the cold, but yet caring. Seems like an impossible combination of adjectives, but, that was him. Within less than a second, he grabbed my wrist and dragged me away. I looked back to see Becks waving, tearing, and smiling at the same time. I'm going to miss you I thought to myself.
During our car ride there was nothing but silence. He looked very serious driving. His crystal clear blue eyes caught my attention every time it was just so captivating. He was only looking in front, at the road. He seemed dozed off as if he was day dreaming. His arms seemed stiff while he was holding the wheel. At red lights, he never took his hands off to brush his blonde hair back, then spike it into a faux-hawk. Nor did he even bother looking into the mirror for a mirror check. His decent face was no longer soft. It was stiff. He didn't even look at me nor talk to me, about anything. All there was... was just music.
Soul and I arrived home shortly.
"Go in, take a shower and get packing. Aunt Rita is coming to pick you up tomorrow." He said while unpacking our bags from the trunk of his black mini cooper.
"Already?! That fast? But…" I tried to help him but, he was a strong young man, he didn't need my help. He was also a great brother. Despite the fact how he treats people, acts, and wear. He's very protective over me, his younger sister.
"Yea, she just gave me a call before I saw u with Becks. She's coming tomorrow morning. It's a pretty short ride to Haven. You'd need to be there early for the tour." He closed the trunk and headed for the French doors of our home.
"Haven...So I'm really going to go live with Aunt Rita? I mean, why can't I stay here again?" I said while closing the French doors, and taking my shoes off.
".... She said something about not having trust for me taking over my younger sister......and...Haven...yea, Haven also accepted you, " He dropped the bags on the sofa and turned on the TV.
I grabbed my bag and marched my way upstairs to my room. I couldn't believe my Aunt Rita. How can she not trust Soul? I mean, yea he's a bit immature sometimes but still… I unpacked my school bag and looked everywhere in my room for my luggage. Strange, I couldn't find it anywhere. I went downstairs and looked around for my luggage, but I just couldn't seem to find it.
"Maria, where did you put my luggage? I can't find it!" I looked everywhere. All I could find-see- was Soul enjoying himself in front of the TV.
Maria, our maid, came out of the kitchen with her long golden hair covering the straps of her purple flower apron. She was wearing her usual white dress shirt, skinny jeans, and cowgirl-like boots.
"I think it's in your room. Isn't it?"
I quickly ran to my room and looked in my closet. There, I found my pink luggage sitting on a shelf high
up where I couldn't reach. I jumped and jumped trying to reach it but I never got close.
"Need help?" It was Soul leaning against my closet door fidgeting with his ring.
"Soul, um yea, I can't get my luggage. Can you help me?" I pointed to my luggage hoping he would be able to see it.
"Could I? Yes. Will I? Maybe."
"MARIA!" Soul was always like this. That's how he gets so many girlfriends. He always acts all cool and cold. I stomped out of the closet and down stairs to Maria. By the time I got back up with Maria, my luggage was already down.
"Your luggage is already down." She ruffled my hair and walked back downstairs. Soul, on the other hand, was lying on my bed still fidgeting with his ring.
"Thanks."
Without a reply he sat up and walked out of my room. Cold…Soul…I knew he was the one that took it down.
"Oh, yea. By the way, when you get Aunt Rita's remember to place things on lower places." He chuckled and closed the door.
That night I couldn't sleep. I rolled and rolled on my bed wondering how my life would be in Haven and living with Aunt Rita. I wonder where mom and dad are. I remembered that I was never really told what ever happened to dad. Ever since I was young he was never here. It was always Maria and Soul. I've heard from many relatives that I have an older brother too, but who knows. I can't be sure. Who knows where mom is too.
Nat closed her eyes.
…
The next morning she was woken up by her alarm clock set for 7am. She got up and got dressed. By the time she got to the dining room, she noticed that there was another body. It was a small skinny figure. It was Aunt Rita. She turned around and smiled at Nat.
"Nat darling, good morning. Are you ready to go to Haven?"
Nat slowly walked towards the table and took a seat across from Aunt Rita.
"Yea, ecstatic. "I lied. I actually didn't want to go.
"After you're done breakfast we shall take the train to where I live. Then you prepare your school stuff and I'll drive you to Haven." She smiled at me and poured me cereal.
Soul stomped his way down stairs with his bed head and in his tee-shirt and sweats.
"Well, look what we have here. The second one." Aunt Rita said while eying Soul.
"Aunt Rita, I see you're here already…well, good night I lost my appetite." He headed for the stairs.
"Not even going to say farewell to your sister?"
"Nights." He went up stairs and slammed his room door.
"Soul probably woke up on the wrong side of the bed." There came a voice from the kitchen. It was Maria. She came out and joined us at the dining table.
"Haha, yea." I quickly ate my cinnamon French toast and cleaned up my mess.
After breakfast, Maria escorted me and Aunt Rita to her car. She helped pack my stuff and gave me a hug.
"I'm going to miss you Miss Natalie. We'll come visit you soon." She said in her sweet voice.
I hugged her and didn't want to let go. She has always given me what my mother didn't. But I let go after a few seconds. I opened the car door and heard a voice calling my name.
"Hey!" It was soul, waving his hand from the opened French doors. He ran down and looked me in the eye. "Take this." He opened his hands and there, was his favorite ring, left from our father. "Take it."
"Soul, I can't, it's yours." I closed his hands and hugged him. I whispered into his ears, "Don't be a fool when I'm not around. "
He untangled my arms that wrapped around him and gave me one big real smile that I haven't seen in years.
I got into the car and as Aunt Rita drove us away, I mouthed out the word bye. I saw, from far away, two figures waving at my direction. As we drove further, the figures started to shrink. Soon, the figures disappeared.
"Rest up now, it's a long route to the train. But once we're on the train everything zooms by really fast. You need to get rid of those eye bags."
I closed my eyes and took a little nap.
