Forever April: Chapter l: the beginning

Dade Perkins was new in town.

He climbed out of his mothers car, now parked in the driveway of their new house.

He stared up at old victorian, white-ish yellow with age, and a little fence like rail along the roof.

Home sweet creepy home.

He looked over the huge feilds that made up the front lawn, and that steeply sloped down the hill to the road.

"Dade! Honey, will you help me with these boxes? " His mother called. He walked up, and she dumped them in his strong arms.

"I don't see why we had to move anyway." He muttered.

She gasped " It speaks!"

He scowelled. Oh, yeah. He'd forgotten he wasn't speaking to her.

They walked up the front path, him following her.

She fumbled with the keys.

He decided that the silent treatment was overrated.. "Mom, heavy boxes!" He snapped.

" You can handle it- your'e my big strong man." She replied.

He inwardly groaned. ugh. mom's.

"Open the door already!"

She opened it, and it swung open with a creak.

They stepped in side, and stood there in awe. The boxes slipped out of Dade's arms, hitting the floor with a crash.

"Dade! " His mother scolded.

" You shouldn't have taken so long to open the door!" He picked up the boxes. "Where do you want these?"

" Um, just set them where you dropped them- I don't know yet." She went back outside.

Dade looked in awe of his new house. Wow.

He stood in a large, square room with white walls, and red border with mahoganywood. There was a large staircase leading up to the top floors.

"You comin' Dade?" His mother called, bringing him out of his reverie.

" huh? oh! yeah, yeah, i'll be right there." He yelled back, shaking his head to clear it. What was it with him and this house?

He went out the front door. His mom handed him some more boxes.

" Oh, Dade, this house is So Big! Think, just you and me are gonna live here!" She was still putting boxes in his arms.

"Oh, joy." He muttered

She put the last box in his arms, took some for herself, and they started walking up the path.

" You used to like staying with me. we used to be best friends."

He snorted "Used to." He went ahead of her with his longer legs, and went inside, setting the boxes down.

She set her boxes down.

"We- you used to like me when you were little."

" Yeah, well, i'm not little anymore." He snapped, and went outside.

He started walking towards the woods on the edge of the lawn.

"Dade? Where are you going?" She yelled after him.

" Away from you! From this house!" He stomped into the woods.

" What happened to you?" His mother whispered to herself. " Why'd we have to change?"
