Well, I'm going home, back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me

-Home, Daughtry

When r u gonna get here, twin?!?!?!?!

In about 15mins, stay calm!!! gosh.

I closed my phone and sighed. I was on my way with my mom, Sylvia, heading to my favorite place and my only 'home'. My name is Tessa Anne Montgomery. I was a Quillute Indian, with the typical dark black hair and tan skin. My eyes were the same old emotionless black that we all had. My dad had died when I was 15, my mom had remarried this dude from somewhere in northern Washington, near the border around Canada. Erik. Ugh, I hate that name. With a passion! But, for reasons to remained unknown to you, at this time, my mom had come to her senses and was divorcing his white ass. Which is why we were here. Mom was staying for 2 weeks then going house hunting somewhere near by, preferably ON the reserve, so I could spend my last high school year with my bff and "soul twin."

Since we moved, I hadn't gotten to see the one person who always knew me best. Kim! The person I was just texting. We were complete and total SOUL TWINS! The last time I saw her was the end of freshman year. I loved her like the best sister ever. Which she was, as far as I was concerned, anyway. Now we were headed back for Summer break. I was spending the whole entire summer with Kim. I couldn't wait! We were going to be staying with her and her mom while we visited.

I especially wanted to meet the infamous Jared. Whom Kim was completely and totally head over heels for. She wouldn't tell me much about their relationship. Except the annoying lovey-dovey crap. I already knew who Jared was, we had a few classes together before I moved, but never had more than a 30 second conversation with him, which never went deeper than weather the other had a pencil to borrow.

"We're here!" My mom sang. I glanced up, being pulled from my rambling mind by my mothers gleeful shout.

"Yesss!" I jumped from the car. Only to hear a familiar high pitched squeal, I had missed so much. I ran and met Kim half way. Then we reduced to jumping in circles and continuing to squeal like the little girls we were, even though we were both 17. When we stopped, I heard a deep and very manly chuckle. My eyes flashed to the porch, where I saw the tallest and hottest guy I had ever seen. He had dark cropped hair, was VERY tall, had dark eyes. Well hello tall, dark, and hansom! Man he got ripped! That is so not the Jared that I remembered. Which I knew it was him by the way he looked at Kim, like she was the center on everything.

"Oh!" Kim said, and blushed a little. Whoa, she blushed. She was so love struck. She never blushed. Ever! "Umm. This is Jared, my Imp-boyfriend." She stuttered as if she wanted to say something else. I glanced back at her but she avoided eye contact. She knew that I knew her to well, not to have noticed her catch herself.

My mom stepped forward, and extended her hand, which he took. "Hello, you must be Jared." She said in a purposely deep voice which I recognized for when there was a H-O-T guy in the vicinity. I blushed for her then gave a glare, to which she pretended not to understand. I don't think Kim caught it, either that or she ignored it. God I hope it was the first choice.

"Wow! Jared really changed, huh?" I said as Kim and I plopped onto the beds in her room. They still smelled like maple brown, just like I remembered. Jared had left 15 minutes after we got there, exiting with a big kiss on the cheek and a twirling hug. Kim's house had an extra room, which my mom was staying in. Kim also had an extra bed in her room for when I spent the night. We used to share her bed, then we got too big. Now we were bunking together, just like old times.

"Yeah...." She sighed dreamily. I laughed.

"You are soooo love struck, Kimmy." I teased.

Instead of making a snappy come-back, she just sighed again and said, "Yup." Then after a while she started, "Ya know a lot of the guys are- uhh... filling out." Once again she stumbled over her words, but I let it go. She would tell me eventually, she always did.

She tactfully changed the subject, "Umm... They are having a bonfire tonight. Jared asked if you were gonna come and-"

I cut her off, " And you said that I would be there even if you had to drag me by my toes. Didn't you, Kimmy?"

She giggled, "You know me soooo well, Tessy Bessy!"

"You SWORE you would NEVER call me that EVER again! I hate that nickname and you know that, it was the worse one you ever thought of." I hissed at her.

She continued to laugh, "Yeah, but your face just never gets old!" She spluttered between gasping laughs, which had taken on a hysterical undertone.

I just laid there and listened to her, and even grinned a little too.

When she had finally sobered up she asked the exact thing I was hoping she wouldn't, "So... umm... your mom leaving the white ass hole?"

I sighed, "Yeah. He did some stuff... and she uhh... came to her senses. Lets just leave it at that, okay girly. Don't wanna darken the mood."

Luckily that was the moment that Kim's mom chose her grand entrance with, "Are you all going to that bonfire with Jared?"
