Chapter One
I can't remember the last time I felt this was; the feeling of uncertainty, not knowing what direction my life is going. All I really know is, it's can't get any worse than it already is. That's why I'm leaving my mom, and going to live with my dad.
I was currently living with my mom Lauren and her fiancé. His name is Mateus he is 6'7", 320 pounds of pure muscle, or that's what he claims. He is a body builder, like the guys you see on the commercials sponsoring Bow Flex and shit like that. He's a ladies man, calls everyone 'babe' and always has wondering eyes.
I can't stand the way he treats my mom, and I can't stand the way my mom lets it all just slide by. He turned this 'family' to mush, and I'm tired of trying to restore it. That is why I'm leaving Pasadena and moving to Forks, with my father Tim. I haven't seen him since the divorce, eight years ago; I'm turning seventeen in eleven days, so you do the math.
I feel almost weightless as I walk to the cab, as if someone just turned off the gravity. "Well kid, you all packed up?" I heard Mateus almost shout. "Yeah, I think so. Anything I left just mail it.". "Are you going to be alright flying alone? You know I can send Mateus down there with you." My sobbing mother said throw gaps of air. "Yeah mom, I'll be fine. Don't worry I'm almost grown." "Okay now, be sure to call me when you land." "Alright mom, I have really got to leave now. The meter is running." My mom wraps her arms around me for which seems like a century and slowly backs away for the cab as I enter it. "Which airport are you headed to?" the cab driver asks. "Los Angeles International." He shifts the car into gear and everything starts to feel like someone hit the fast-forward button.
