So let's get to it. ENJOY!
Chapter 1: Early Beginnings
So I guess you could say I have a normal life. I mean, I'm married, have two kids, and possibly the best friends in the world. My name is Chloe by the way and my story starts here.
I stand at the stove cooking dinner, well more like burning dinner as the spaghetti pot has just caught on fire. I barley managing to put it out before I burn down the kitchen, I move it off the stove and pour it into the strainer, " Damn, and here I thought they wouldn't be able to come.". That's Landon my husband and the father of my children, " Oh stop, come on they're not that bad, now help me before I burn down the house .", I tell him. Tonight I invited some friends over for dinner, Landon wasn't happy about it.
With quick kiss he took over while I went to check on the kids and get them ready for company. They are in my daughter, Anastasia's room, bickering once again, "Jr. get out of my room!", I heard Anastasia yell, "Not until you give me back my action figure!", Jr. yelled back. "Ok that's enough, now what happened?", I asked, "Annie took my Darth Vader action figure!" he said pointing at Anastasia, "No I didn't, I told you the last time I saw it, it was on the couch.", she told him. "We'll find it later, in the mean time I need you both to start getting ready.", I told them, " We'll be having company over any minute.". "Fine." said Jr. marching out of the room, "Will Tobias be here?", Annie asked excitedly, " I believe so.", told my daughter, and will that she rushed to go take a shower.
I made my way back down stairs and found Landon sitting in the living room watching football. "Did you finish dinner?", I asked worriedly, he looked up, "Relax, the pasta is sitting the strainer, the sauce is cooking, and the bread is in the oven.", he said flipping the channel from the Broncos game to the Steelers game. "Thank you, I'm going to go get ready, keep Annie and Jr. from fighting please.", I told him, he nodded, smoothed down his brown hair, and threw the remote on the couch.
When I got out of the shower the first thing heard was Landon yelling at the kids to quit fighting and hurry up and get ready. I sighed, are they ever going to quit bickering, I thought. When I was younger me and my siblings where always fighting and I was always the one who got blamed, because I was older and supposedly more responsible. But at the same time I was very close with my younger brother and sister due to the situations we were often put in, when I was thirteen my dad often left me alone with them, meaning for a long time I played a motherly roll in their lives. I had also always been blamed for things that I couldn't help or that weren't even my fault. I thought over these things while I smoothed my dark, brown hair, put on some mascara, and pulled on a blue, long sleeved shirt, a pair of jeans, and a pair of black flats over my dark skin.
I soon heard a knock at the door, a rushed out of the room, "I got it.", I called to Landon, who was just starting to raise from the couch. I was only about three feet from the door when a medium height, light brown haired, woman in a black off the shoulder, skinny jeans, and black converse, with blue eyes walked through the door. Closely followed by a tall, tan skin, woman in a purple t-shirt, jeans, and purple flats with brown eyes. I sighed, "Stacey I was going to answer the door if you would have just waited a couple seconds.". "Well it was taking long enough!", she answered, smirking with a hand on her hip, her signature stance. I couldn't help but laugh. "See Stacey I told you we should have waited!", the other woman said lightly slapping Stacey's arm. " Ok, ok, you win Jessaca.", she told her. This made me laugh even harder, they were exactly the same since we left high school. They walked into the living room, I heard them shout, "Hey Squirrely!", and Landon groaned. They've been calling him that since middle school, and story of why is pretty funny. See back then Landon had really bushy eyebrows and was friends with our friend Ryan, what had happened was him, Stacey, and Jessaca really hated other, or as Stacey put it, " I don't hate him I'm just not entirely thrilled about his existence.". And one day they apparently got into a big fight (that actually made Ryan kind of quit our little group including our friends, Victoria and Lily) in which Jessaca asked him why he taped a squirrel's tail above his eyes, and the name just stuck.
Soon a man with blond hair and green eyes walked through the door with a little ten year old girl that looked exactly like him, "Hello Jack, thanks for coming.", I said kindly shaking his hand, "Hey Chloe, thanks for having us.", he said politely back. "Is Jr. here?", the little girl asked. " Oh course Taliyah, he's upstairs." , I told her. "Thank you!", Taliyah called rushing upstairs to Jr.'s room. I sighed suddenly thinking of how happy Landon was when I let him have a Jr. . "I case you couldn't tell Stacey is in the living room with Jessaca terrorizing my husband.", I told him jokingly. He gave me a slight apologetic look and went to join them. He must give a lot of people that look considering he married Stacey, I thought and laughed to myself. "Tobias hurry up come on lets go!", Jack called, and soon a handsome teenage boy about Annie's age (thirteen in case your wondering) walked through the door, "Ok, ok I'm going.", Tobias called.
In case your wondering why Stacey named her children the way she did, it's because she's a real book nerd and in middle school she read two books and found names that she really liked : one Taliyah's name came from the Percy Jackson series (Taliyah was the name of Zeus's daughter), two she chose the name Tobias from Divergent (which I'm sure you've most likely read).
Closing the door I walked into the living room. Landon had gotten into a playful argument with Stacey, and by the look on her face and the smirk on his I could tell he was winning. I started laughing this always happened, pretty soon one of them would win and then what ever sports team was on tv would score a point and they both would start cheering and high-fiving. Suddenly the door bell rung, "I got it.", I called, "Don't be gone to long.", Stacey called after me, making everyone laugh.
When opened the door no one was there, I was about close it muttering, "Damn kids.", when I saw the envelope. I walked out closing the door behind me and picked it up. After about five seconds of examining it like a bunch of snakes were about to pop out, I carefully opened it and gasped at what I read :
Dear, Mrs. Chloe Everlane
Something is coming your way Mrs. Everlane, something big
Something that will change your life forever
I must warn you though it may not be a good thing
People may die Mrs. Everlane
But for now enjoy your evening
Tomorrow everything will change.
