What's up with that? Chapter 1, a twilight fanfic

It was La Push that I now exiled myself to, a diminutive town in WA, a small town which it rained constantly. After almost 3 months of not speaking to my parents, I now decided to move in with my sister and her boyfriend, wait; fiancée. I have no idea anymore. It was too hard to keep up with.

After one petty fight with mum and dad. I ended up in La Push. Pulling up into my new driveway, I let only one tear escape. I would save my crying fest until I was alone in my new room.

Chloe and her boyfriend/fiancée, Andrew, came out of the hefty white house – which is three stories high and quite spacious - holding hands.

"Eeeep, Chloe!" I ran up to Chloe and threw my arms over her shoulders, pulling her down a little so she was at my height. Her arms wrapped around my waist. It had been almost two years since I had seen my only sister. Two years of not seeing my sister that I saw everyday for 14 years.

I pulled back and awkwardly gave Andrew a one armed hug. We had never really gotten along. Chloe took me upstairs; I was expecting her to give me the spare room on the second floor. But she kept going to the smaller master bedroom on the third floor. This actually took up the whole top floor.

I gasped, "I get this room?!" Chloe just smiled and nodded. "What about you guys? Don't you want the biggest room?" Chloe's face-hardened.

"Well Andrew and I needed to talk to you about that." Chloe muttered.

"What?" I asked a little scared. Chloe just took me downstairs. I knew something was seriously up when there was a large bowl of chocolate ice cream – with chocolate topping – and whipped cream sitting on the table. I looked at Chloe, the face she has – uh oh – completely scared now.

"Well Katie, you know we love you. But Andrew has to go back to Seattle for a few weeks, his mum is sick. And I have to go away for work. So you will be her for about two weeks – alone." I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. "Still wondering why you got the big room?" I just nodded. "Well we are getting the house extended. Making all the rooms bigger. So technically when it is done we," She gestured to Andrew and herself "Will have the biggest room."

"Ohhh. Okay. I get it now." I smiled and started eating my ice cream.

"You can eat in your room. I know you will want to unpack." I just nodded.

I skipped upstairs and walked quietly into my room. I closed the door debating internally whether I should lock it or not. I decided against it. Keeping my back to the door, I lifted my shirt about fifteen centimetres above my hips. Seven deep purple bruises had taken place there.

My dad was drunk that night. So, so drunk…

"Why are you wearing jeans?! It's hot!" He – I refused to think of him as my dad – yelled.

"Because I can!" I yelled back. And he snapped. Just simply snapped. He knew better then to hit me somewhere that bruises could be seen. If anyone saw these I would blame then on my walking into something.

Coming back into reality, I finished my ice cream treat and looked around my room. Taking it all in: there was three doors: the first was back into the hallway, the second and third I didn't know. I opened the one closest to my bed – king sized bed I might ad - it was a bathroom, all to myself. The last door was a huge walk in closet. I was in heaven!

The colours of my room are amazing. There is one feature wall, which is a light blue. The rest of the walls are a brown colour the almost comes out cream.

I pulled out my laptop, hoping Chloe had wireless Internet. My luck was with me today, she did. Andrew was on: swe-eet. I didn't need to start up a conversation, he always did.
