I can't believe we are moving again. I always loved moving to some place new but not the way my mother is doing it, even though she knows I hate how she moves us she continues to do so. I used to live in Ohio but ever since my dad died from a crazed drunk in a car accident, she has never been the same. Now we just continue to movie because I think that is what mom thought dad wanted. But he wanted to Travel to different countries not up root every few days to a new state. Now we have officially made it from one side of the USA to the other over a five month span.We have finally come to an agreement, from much fighting on my part, to stay in the next place as long as possible for the both of us. Unfortunately this next place is some were a little below Washington.
The only thing good I heard about this place is the forest. I heard our previous neighbors gossiping about us moving there, and the forest is supposed to be amazing. The only thing i'm really hoping for is the stories to be true about the forest, well not just the forest but the trees. I always had a fixation with trees ever since I was a child, I would attempt to climb any tree I thought was beautiful which was many and even if I knew it was imposable I would still try. The gossip continued about how the trees were immense and the forest was so deep people got lost in them for weeks on end. I still can't picture it in my head but maybe seeing it will get me to believe.
That is what we are doing right now. Driving are standard zx2, all the way down there, my mother wanting a death wish by trying to do it all by herself even though I have been driving for at least 2 years. I looked out the window watching as the city turn to towns, and then the towns slowly turn to random houses ever five miles, to almost nothing. What a way to exclude are selves from society, by moving to the middle of nowhere. So far we have been on the same stretch of high way for at least two hours. We haven't spoken to each other since we left At first all I would talk about is the agreement but she avoided the conversation. If we both had the chance we could talk for hours on one subject, that's just how are personalities are. My mother loves to talk about gossip and that's about it me, on the other hand, can talk about anything. I got that from my father. I looked at my mother how her dark brown premed hair waved in the wind; her Hispanic roots are strong in her features. Compared to me she looks black but i'm just unusually pale like my father was. He was a polac and they met in Kmart and my mother thought my dad was an ass hole but he really was just fun loving.
I turned my head back to the window watching as the trees continued to get taller and taller. We stopped a little earlier to get food that we would need for a week at the new house, because we moved so far away we would need to go down back to the last small town to get food and restock. The house was off a side road from the town. The road now has turned into a dirt road but its not gravel dirt road its more like leaves and pine needles dirt road so our going is silent, almost as silent as we were in the car. My mom started sit up in her driving position so I new we were coming close to were the directions say. I started looking around the forest ahead, trying to see any hint of a drive way. But instead of getting of this road into are drive way we stopped in front of our house, this road lead straight to our house. What a freaking long drive way. I hope she didn't expect me to shovel that during winter.
-The relater told me that no one went down this road unless to come to this house so we wont be interrupted by lost tourists.-
-Great- I replied with no enthusiasm
I looked at the house with some skepticism, glanced at my mom who was smiling at the house like she new they were going to get along. My mom parked the car and stepped out stood there for a second admiring the house then took a couple steps forward; she then turned to toward me and waved for me to get out of the car. I rolled my eyes because she looked like a giddy school girl about to get a sucker, and did as she told me to. I followed her into the front door and my eyes fell on an open room that had a couch, and a lamp and that was it. The other side of the room held a small fridge, an oven, a couple of cabinets to hold any of the food we held in the car and small kitchen table. The room also had three doors that I found out just a few seconds later were two bedrooms and one bathroom. The bedrooms contain a frame for a bed a side table and a small cabinet to hold cloths. The bathroom had a shower in the opposite corner as the door and a toilet across from the sink. The sink had a mirror above it. Great I thought to myself at least we have indoor plumbing.
-So I'm just assuming but I get my own room right- I said with a smile and turned to see if she got my joke, my mom tended to be a little slow when it came to my sarcasm. My mother on the other hand was looking, no, staring out the window. I walked up behind her to see what she was looking at out the window when I heard her whisper to herself.
-You would have loved this- I knew who she was talking too so I just looked out the window to see the forest, which was literally at are back door.
-Wow- she turned her head slightly to look at my face and said -yeah, I agree with you for once-
After that we started to get the beds out of the back of the car and everything that we needed to stay in the house for a reasonable amount of time. The brown boxes were duct tapped and you could see the layer of dust from the previous house it sat in. We usually never unpack the permanent things, because of how short we stayed in one place at a time. Mom for some reason started ripping open every box in haste and pulling one thing after another, laying them out on the cold white tiled floor.
-What are you doing?!- asking with surprise and shock in my voice
-I'm tired of moving and running away from my problems- answering my question with a forward answer.
I smiled to my self and was proud of my mother. I helped her sort out the objects from the paper towel hiding them. And we assorted every object into what could be a permanent home.
We stood with are hands on are hips looking around the little house and it felt like home.
We went to bed a half an hour later to rest from are long drive. I woke up in the morning to the smell of scrambled eggs and bacon. Wow I thought mom must be in a really good mood to be making breakfast. I walked out of my room to see mom at the stove, putting eggs and some strips of bacon on a plate. She turned to me and handed it to me smiling.
-What a beautiful day today-
I looked out the window, and saw the sun was already up and the wind was blowing in the trees. I sighed
-Yeah-
-So mom where am I supposed to go to school at? I mean we now have a house in the middle of no were- I glanced at her face after a couple of bites from my eggs, witch were really good
-Well your school year doesn't start until a couple of months, and there is a small school up the high way from here.-
-Oh that's good- finished up my eggs and started on my beacon
-Do we have any syrup?-
-Yes I bought some at the town store-
I thanked her and added some to my plate. Wondering what was on the agenda I asked her what we had planned today.
-Well nothing really just settling in to the house- she replied
-Oh is it okay if I go on a little hike to explore around?-
-Sure, but take a flash light and some bottles of water-
-K mom- whatever
I took my back pack and added four chewy bars, 2 water bottles, my pathetic first aid kit, flash light and last but not least my camera. I walked out of the house and there was an obvious trail leading away from the house. I started my little hike with high hopes to get some great photos. Because that was what I wanted to do with my life be a photographer. I was hiking for a half an hour when there was a fork in the road I decided to take the left trail and see what I came to if anything. I was walking when I heard the sound of water running, and it wasn't a sink but more like a waterfall. I walked forward, trying to see it through the trees.
The sound was getting louder with each step I took I walked finally into a clearing were a pool of water was at my feet , I followed the ripples of water to the source and saw a 20 ft water fall with a ledge on the side. I got the most interesting idea in my mind, first though I told myself that I would take some photos and that is what I did. I then took my plan into action, I stripped naked feeling kind of awkward but I new no one could be in the middle of my backyard. I first checked the depth of the pool and found that after a couple of steps it was over my head so I knew I was okay. I made my own path up to the ledge and looked down into the water I stood straight up made the sign of the cross on myself then jumped off the edge. I thought I ran out of air the second I hit the water and that I was drowning. I knew how to swim I was just over whelmed by how deep I went in the water. I finally came up to the surface and screamed at the top of my lungs and laughed hysterically, that was the funniest thing I did in 2 years, so I swam out of the water and ran up to the top again.
I lost count of how many times I went off the mini cliff but looked to the sky to see the sun was directly above me. Noon. I got out of the water the last time for the day and let myself sun dry. I was surprised for being in Washington it was so sunny out and I was able to dry relatively fast. I pulled my clothes on and opened up my backpack and ate both my chewys. While I was chewing on them I started taking picture of the water fall and the way the sun hit the pool. I wanted to get the best picture out of each shot so I was taking my time in finding it. My camera wasn't digital, it was the older version my father gave me before he died. I was limited on film so I only took around 13 pictures. I headed back home, but was bored after all the fun I had so I started singing at the top of my lungs, not that anyone could hear me anyway.
I sang Thousand Miles my Vanessa Carlton when I came up to the house I stopped singing. If mom heard me she would have yelled, mom cries when she hears me sing because I sing just like dad. I was so glad that I had a home to come to and not a temporary living space.
JPOVI have been running for 5 days now none stop. I can't believe she is going through with it. She knows I love her and she knows that she loves me too. How can I just watch her go through with it, I can't! I have been thinking the last couple of days and I could just stay in these woods and never go back. How can I live with myself after I know I failed to save the one person I love? It was inexcusable; also the way I reacted to the whole pack is shamefully I won't be able to show my face for weeks.
Jake was still in his wolf form but was going to change back before one of the packs could get a hold of him. When he hear a scream in the distance, his instincts told him to go help who ever was screaming, but part of him didn't feel like being the hero type. He thought to himself he couldn't save the girl he love how can he save this new one. He started running in the direction anyway against his inner voice. When he got close he smelled a fruity kind of smell coming off of a pile of cloths sitting next to a back pack.
He was still in his wolf form so he didn't need to be close to see a girl, naked. Well he saw that she was swimming but the fact that a naked girl was swimming in this pool off of a water fall was strange. He laughed in his wolf form and just watched as she continued to jump from the ledge. Each time her face held that same expression of joy at jumping into the water. He transformed into his human form and climbed into the nearest tree so he could watch her. Close to midday she looked into the sky.
-Noon- she whispered to herself because of is sensitive senses he could hear her. She got out of the pool, and laid on the dirt right in the suns path. Her skin was pale, she had blonde, short hair, her eyes were green and she wasn't skinny she had some meat on her but it was cut e he thought. She turned when she was dry on her front and got up when her back was dry. She walked to her pile of cloths and slowly put them on. If she happened to look up she would see me, he thought to himself. She sat down and ate 2 chewy bars Half way between the first chewy she got up suddenly grabbed her camera and took pictures. He noticed that she looked at her intended target from every angle then would take the picture, he was assuming, from the best angle. She took around 10 to 15 pictures of the waterfall area and started walking back down a trail with her camera in her hands. For some reason he followed her down the trail. He was startled when he heard her beginning to sing. She wasn't the best singer but you could her smiling in every word she sang. She sang all the way back, until she saw the cabin. He wished he had somewhere to stay like she did.

-Angela?-
-Hey mom- I walked into the room with a smile still on my face. Who else would it be?
-Hey sweetheart, wow you must have had a very good walk- she turned to me from putting a picture of dad on the table next to a small coach.
-Well I was walking and I found, well never mind, I took some really good pictures though- I didn't want to tell her about my little secret, I didn't know why. I walked two steps to my room and threw my backpack on my bed and noticed mom put a picture of dad there too. I sighed and walked to the kitchen table and wondered what was for lunch my mom answered my question by pulling out pizza bagels. I watched as she took out a sheet from the box and put them on a try in the oven.
I felt gross from the water and my hair dried down so I went and rinsed myself off and put hair product in my hair so it stuck up like I like it. I walked out to see mom put a plate full on the table and she was already eating hers. I sat down and started eating. We talked about nothing and she told me she need some cabinets to hold cloths so I told her I would come, but she said for me to stay and relax she would get it herself. I watched as she drove down the long drive way and pull out on the road.
I wanted to use all the pictures in my camera so I could use my room as a dark room and develop them. I walked out to the front of the house and did a 180 and snapped a picture. I walked backward trying to get a better angle with the forest circulating the house in impending doom. I laughed out loud at the thought, and took another picture. My camera held 24 pictures and I used 20 of those pictures, so four more. I wanted the forest itself and I walked around the house to the back and took a picture of the start of the trail and all the trees surrounding it.
I walked away from the trail and walked into the forest itself and sat on a log. I always wanted an animal in my pictures but I never could catch one. I was hoping sitting still would help bring and animal in my view. But I was defeated by my inability to stop moving and I gave up with the whole idea, by taking three photos of different angles of the trees themselves. I walked back into the yard and in the backdoor of the house to wait for mom to come back home.
Well I've typed more but i dont know if its good. you dont have to review, this is just a tester story to see if i can write. My sister does this all the time but she can pull a plot out of her butt. But this is a PWP. Thanx again.
