MY DECEMBER
CHAPTER ONE: HOMECOMING
It's been a long time sence December Uley had set foot on the reservation. A long time scence December Uley had seen her older brother Sam, and a long time sence she has seen the boy she had a crush on when she was 9. That boys name was Jacob Black.
It's been so long sence she's been home that she didn't know what to do with herself. Her mother sent her away to live with her grandparents in California when she was 10. She is 18 now so that was 8 years ago. She decided to come back home because she needed her big brother. Needed his help with dealing with the change she went through. Needed Sam to help her understand who and what she really was.
So it was on this rainy day in Washington state that she waited at the airport for her older brother. She couldn't wait to see him. She missed her older brother. When she was younger Sam would always spoil her. In those days December had all of Sam's attention. That will be different now, of course because one she was older, and two he was married.
December sat on a bench outside of the airport. Her long raven hair blowing in the wind, when her brother pulled up. When her brother got out of the drivers side and walked around the black Nisan, December instantly shot up and ran to her brother. "Sam!" She yelled running into her brother's open arms.
"Hey kiddo" Sam said embracing his little sister.
"Hey come on now. I'm not a kid anymore ya know" She replied with a beautiful, bright, smile.
"I know. You're not so short anymore either." He replied smiling big.
"Hey" She said and playfully punched her brother's shoulder.
Sam began laughing and said "Heck of right hook you got there December"
"Must be those Quileute genes huh"
"Must be" Sam replied. "Anyways you ready?"
"Totally" She replied.
Sam helped her put her bags into the trunk and they got into the car. After a few minuteds Sam asked "Do you still sing?"
"Yeah" and with that answer Sam turned on the radio hoping a song was on the December liked so he could hear his sister's beautiful voice. "Hey turn it up" December said knowing the song that was playing. The song was 'Never Close Our Eyes' by Adam Lambert. December began to sing along.
"I wish that this night would never be over
There's plenty of time to sleep when we die
So let's just stay awake until we grow older
If I had my way we'd never close our eyes, our eyes, never!
I don't wanna let a minute get away
Cause we got no time to lose
None of us are promised to see tomorrow
And what we do is ours to choose
Forget about the sunrise
Fight the sleep in your eyes
I don't wanna miss a second with you
Let's stay this way forever
It's only getting better if we want it to
You know I wish that this night would never be over
There's plenty of time to sleep when we die
So let's just stay awake until we grow older
If I had my way we'd never close our eyes, our eyes, never!
It's so hard to think this could fade away
But what goes up must come down
Why can't we just live life with no consequence
And always live in the now
Forget about the sunrise
Fight the sleep in your eyes
I don't wanna miss a second with you
Let's stay this way forever
It's only gets better if we want it to
You know I wish that this night would never be over
There's plenty of time to sleep when we die
So let's just stay awake until we grow older
If I had my way we'd never close our eyes, our eyes, never
Ooooh, yeah
Ooooh, yeah, yeah
You know I wish that this night would never be over
There's plenty of time to sleep when we die
So let's just stay awake until we grow older
If I had my way we'd never close our eyes, our eyes, never"
"Wow have you taken vocal lessons sence I last saw you?" Sam asked.
"Yes I have" December replied smiling.
"Sounds like it"
The two siblings fell silent for the rest of the ride. It was Sam who broke the silence when he announced that they were home. "Wow this is nice big brother." December told her big brother.
"Thanks. Emily's the one you should praise though"
"Well duh. There is no way you,a man, could have decorated this nice."
"Well thanks December." Sam said getting her suitcase out of the trunk. "Come on let's go inside. Emily should hace lunch ready"
"Cool. I can't wait to met her"
They walked inside. Sam sat December's suitcase in the living room and the two of them walked into the kitchen where Emily had sandwhiches made. "Hey were back" Sam said walking up to Emily and kissing her.
"I see that" Emily turned to December and said "And you must December" Emily pulled her into a hug. "Its nice to finally meet the little sister Sam always brags about."
"You brag about me?" December asked her brother.
"Of course I do" Sam replied.
December turned back to Emily and said "It's nice to finally meet you as well"
"I hope you're hungry"
"Yes food" December groaned with delight.
The three of them sat down and ate until Sam got up to answer the phone. December heard him say hello, then ok, and lastly bye. "December" Sam said.
"Yeah" December replied.
"Go outside. Someone is waiting outside with a present for you"
"Who?" December questioned.
"Go look" Her brother told her.
She got up and walked outside. There he saw him. Jacob Black. The boy she use to have a crush on. The boy she was so close to in her childhood and mad had he grown. He was tall like her brother and man did he have muscles. His black hair was short. His eyes oh his eyes. December thought she could stare into those chocolate brown orbs forever. She felt like she couldn't live her life without those eyes. It was as if Jacob Black was the very force keeping her rooted to the ground. She needed Jacob and she didn't know why. She thought it was her overactive imagination. What she didn't know is that Jacob Black was experincing the exact same thing as her.
After the very brief awkward moment, December finally snapped out of it. "Jake!" She said running up to im and jumping into his arms.
"Hey December long time no see" Jacob replied laughting.
Jacob put December down and she noticed the classic red and black Corvette that he drove there in." Nice car." she said.
"You like?" He asked.
"Totally" She replied.
"Good cuz it's yours"
"What no way"
"Yeah way. I found it in a junk yard about six months ago and restored it. So when I heard you were coming home I decided what better way to welcome you home than your own car"
"Jake you shouldnt have"
"But I did." Jacob help up the keys and said. "Wanna take it for a spin?"
"You know it. SAM!"
"Go ahead" Sam said from the porch.
"Awesome. Jake get in" She said.
Jacob laughs and says "ok"
The two got into the car and took off leaving Emily and Sam standing on the porch smiling.
"Sam do you think? Emily asked.
"Yup" Sam replied knowing what Emily was getting at. "Come on let's have some fun" He told her winking.
"but" She replied.
"Don't worry. If I know those two they will be gone awhile" Sam replied picking Emily up bridal style and carrying her inside. The whole time she was laughing.
