So guys before you get to reading I'd like to point out a few things
1. I don't like twilight much, I've read them all I've seen them all but I think they're really dumb.
2. I write fast but upload slow. I'm lazy.
3. I wrote this for fun and had an issue decieding which prespective it should be from and I am aware of the sudden change I apologize.
She sat quietly outside the bistro sipping her chia latte, watching as people scuttle through the quite Ohio suburbs. Sitting in front of the only coffee shop in town she could see the only grocery store and the only pharmacy. The 3 small buildings plus the hardware store and the feed store on the edge of town make up her home town.
Parried-Drain is a quite small town on the Ohio border. It's hot and dry and in the summer the stream by the Gutridge farm is the place to be. Maya was born and raised in Parried-Drain; she spent endless summers out by the stream and many winter nights on the roof of her parent's barn. She loved the small town, the smell of trees instead of gasoline. She hadn't really gone into the city much. Once or twice she had gone with Daddy when he went to fix his laptop or watch or whatever little thing was broken, but it never stuck with her. She loved her quite small town life.
John, Maya's older brother, moved to the city when she was 13, he was 19 then. Maya's younger brother on the other hand was more like Maya. Jacob hated the idea of living in the city. He was 11 when John moved out. But now that Mommy and Daddy are gone, Maya at 16 and Jacob at 14 are headed for Columbus, Ohio; the biggest city in Ohio; to live with John.
Maya and Jacob were horrified. "Maya," Jacob called his sister interrupting her final view of the surroundings. "You ready to go?" He asked her slowly, tossing to more bags into the back of Maya's old pick-up. The truck was loaded down with things of their parent's that John had approved. "I guess so." Maya stated in despair. She slung her wavy brown ponytail over her shoulder and picked up her keys. "Let's ride." Jacob said trying his best to seem pleased with the idea of leaving his home.
As Maya drove out of the town she stared at the Gutridges' farm and at the few stores and then as they reached further to the edge of town her parents' barn. She frowned, "Jacob how are we gonna survive life in Columbus?" Jacob looked up from the window pane of the truck and stuttered out a supportive "One day at a time".
After an hour or so they reached Columbus lines and Maya started to need the help of her map. She was officially out of her place. Her worn out Jeans, old cowboy boots and plaid flannel shirt tied up over a white undershirt suddenly seemed so, odd. Maya compared herself to the skirts and heels prancing down the road with shopping bags dancing on skinny boney arms. Maya wasn't boney she was practically all muscle. Jacob ogled the city girls, "You caint do better than our home-growns Jacob don't you forget it" Maya stated threateningly.
After endless travels through the inner city Maya reached the small suburban area where John lived now with his girlfriend. She pulled the truck into the driveway and cranked up her country music. She hopped out of the truck and pulled down the tailgate while Jacob went to retrieve John from the house. Maya set herself to work untying the myriad of furniture and suitcases from her truck and it wasn't long before the boys to were hard at work.
Maya tossed a rope back into her truck and shouted to the boys "That's the last of it y'all" she slammed the tailgate closed and went to retrieve her key from the ignition. She slid them comfortably into her back pocket with her wallet then walked inside. "Hurrah! We're here. Can we leave yet?" She said sarcastically. "In two more years you can move back to your precious Parried-Drain" John's girlfriend Jecca said. She obviously wasn't very delighted with the idea of me and Jacob being here "News flash" I wanted to scream at her "We don't wanna be here neither" But of course for John's happiness I just flashed her a smile and groaned "Ugh, that's so long!" my words were over dramatic and they slid slowly out of my mouth like the greasy pizza the Bistro sells. Jecca flashed her perfect pretty New York smile at me and I wondered again how my brother could love someone so bitchy.
Jacob and I had to share a room since the house only had 3 bedrooms, Which wasn't a problem because I already promised Jacob I would move both of us back home once I turned 18. We didn't have much, Jacob and I only had one pick-up worth of stuff, plus anything John said to bring. Maya and I threw myself down into my old rickety bed and sighed pushing away her thoughts. "Two more years right?" Jacob said as friendly as possible. "Two more long irritating years," Maya groaned "How can we deal with Jecca for two whole years" She stretched out her words and rolled over to face her younger brother who sat across the small bedroom on his bed siting crisscross in the center of the bed.
Jacob was long, tall, and lanky. His hair was long and dark. For a 14 year old Jacob looked much, much older, around the same age as Maya, people always thought they were twins. Of course it doesn't help that Jacob had skipped up a grade and at 14 was a 10th grader just like his sister. Maya studied her brother carefully; He turned his head towards her "With a lot of tip toeing and even more trips back to Parried-Drained" He said with a smile. Maya giggled slightly.
Maya rolled over onto the floor and slapped at the alarm on her night stand. "Jacob," She nudged her brother "its 6:30 are appointment is in 30 minutes get out the bed" Maya walked into the bathroom and closed the door just before John went to wake Jacob with his famous "Hand's off junk get out the bunk" That he learned when he went to county jail for stealing Mr. Hender's tractor. After her shower Maya got dressed and braided her hair. By the time she was done she had ten minutes to get in the car and get to the high school with her brother. Jacob was already in the car while Maya tripped out of the front door pulling on her boots.
They were two minutes late already pulling into the school, Maya and Jacob rushed into the school through the slight crowd of gathering students. "Excuse Me" Maya said to a small blonde girl "Hi! I'm Alice!" She said in a chipper voice, "Maya" She said offering Alice a hand Alice took it and shook it enthusiastically "I'd love to chat but my brother and I are running late and I'm totally lost, can you show us to the guidance office?" The small perky blonde skipped her way through the crowd leading Maya and Jacob out to a small building that was a complete ghost house at the front of the campus. "This is the Library, main office, all that fun stuff" She announced pushing through the double doors she pointed to a small brown door with a frosted glass window "just through there" Alice pointed. Maya smiled and replied "Thank you" she turned back to get one last look at the girl, but as quickly as she had said Hi, she was gone. It seemed almost immposible.
So just FYI Maya is Bella and Jacob isnt the wolf, he is Maya's little brother. No that will not be one that pops up on you.
