You know at school, there is always that girl. The one that every other girl wants to be, well, in my school in England I was that girl. I could have what ever lad I wanted, sweet talk my teachers into whatever. If I say "I want" I get and yeah I am spoil, so what. I love shopping. My mum says I can shop for England. But when I am not shopping or out with my friends or at school I am playing the piano, I have been playing for years and I know that sounds big headed but I am very good at it.
My life was well, what can I say very good, until the day my mum was killed in a car crash and if that was not bad enough the man driving was called Phil they where having an affair. A 2-year-long affair. One of Phil's friends had told me at the hospital "I'm sorry kid Renee was amazing, but I don't know what I can say to you."
It has been 3 weeks since my mums funeral, and yes life is not going back to the way it was. I had not been to school yet, I just sat in my room looking out the window. It was Friday and I was getting ready to go out with my friends when my dad came in to my room and sat on my bed.
"Bells, I have got a new job, I start in 2 weeks, its in La Push." I froze La Push is the Indian Reservation in which my dads family live on. I was about two when we moved to England. I had put it in wikipedia and it said that "La Push is a small unincorporated community in Clallam County, Washington, United States. It is home to the Quileute Native American tribe and is located along the Quileute River. La Push is known for its surfing and whale-watching, as well as natural beauty. One of the main attractions of La Push is the Ocean Park Resort along James Beach." "No dad, no we are not moving to La Push." I yelled at him he did not look at me he just got up an walked to the door "The moving men are coming in 10 days and I'm sorry but it will be ok you'll see" and shut my door.
That was 14 days ago and now we are in Seattle waiting for my uncle to come and get us. I am listening to my IPOD "God is a DJ" by Pink. I was I in my own little world when my dad poked me and I look up to see a man in a wheelchair and a lad looked about 17. The lad looked like 5'11. "Billy, its so good to see you little bor and you too Jacob".
So this is my cousin Jacob. I did not what to talk to Jacob so I got my IPOD out, I changed the song to "Laura" by The Scissor Sisters. I got my bag and we got in the car with my dad at the wheel. Once in the car I changed the song to "Famous Last Words" by My Chemical Romance and took my book out of my bag "The Secret Garden". Its one of my favourites books of all time. I love how the kids have a secret and they don't tell the adults. I was on chapter 7 when my dad squeaked "wow, it just the same as I remember it".
I looked up to see we where out the front of a small house, it looked old, as in built in the 1930's but it has a certain charm. The front garden is just grass.
"What are you thinking of it Bella" Jacob asked me.
"It looks old and I think that its going to be along year for me" I said it as my dad open the door and said "Honey, we're home".
"It may be a long year, but tonight the guys are coming round with some DVDs if you what come?"
"I will came tonight only if we can have pizza"
"Hell yeah Bella, pizza is all I'm eating till next week, It's a dare"
"What as in truth or dare?, because I love playing that Jacob" Our dads called us, we ran to the house. In the house it looked like some one had put a lot of time in making it look good but all the boxes are on the floor.
"The guys put a lot of time in to make it look good, they put in a new kitchen for you too and Bella they painted your room purple I hope you like it, and your piano is in the little room up the stairs"
"Yeah Bella I think your going to love it and I am going to show you to your room". He put his hand out and I took it and he pulled me up the stairs. At the top of the stairs there are 4 doors he pulled me the door that seems to be at the back of the house.
"1...2...3"and then he open the door. Wow! was all I could think of. Of what you could see of the walls they where the seem to be the same purple as in my room back home in England, but most of the walls are covered in posters and photos. My dad had brought me a new bed, a Kingsize Bed. The bed was made with white sheets and all my teddies on the pillows. In one corner was a book shelf full of my books, DVDs and CDs.
"Well?"
"I love it, Jacob" I walked round my new room and I ended up sitting on my new bed.
"Come on Bella I'll show you the "music room", come on" I was now lying on the bed and he pulled my leg and I was now hopping out of my room. He opened the door to a little white room and in it was my piano. Jacob had let go of my leg and so I was able to walk the my piano. I ran my fingers down the keys as I sat down. I started to the play a song I had written when my ex had dumped me.
"wow, that song's amazing what was it about?"
"It was about my ex he dumped I got a bit upset so I wrote a song, so Jacob you got yourself a girlfriend?" I asked the question just so I did not have to listen to my dad telling Billy that he was sorry for not coming to see him years ago.
"Yeah Leah Clearwater" he said, "She amazing, so beautiful inside and out." as he said it you could see the love in his eyes. "She will be around mine tonight too, so you won't be the only girl" we laugh. We talked about are lives, me in England and him here in La Push. Jake and I where laughing when my dad came in to tell us that the guys would be at Billy's in about 5 mins, so Jake and I when down stairs and I called "bye" as Jake shut the door.
Jacob lives the other side of the road. The house looked the same as my new house but a little more run down. In the house was not much better, but the house looked loved and live in, it looked like a home.
"Come on Paul or we are going to be last!!" a lad yelled."Its time to meet the guys" I looked at Jacob
"Its going to be ok Bells".
And then the door opened.
Well what you think. R&R
Just so you know I have dyslexia.
