Chapter 1: The Beginning (Kyra POV)
Kyra POV
"Goodbye Lisa" I said angrily to my "mother" as I slammed the car door shut.
I hate my mum. First: she cheats on my dad, when I was 13, so he leaves to go live in some town called La Push in Washington, a small Indian reservation on the coast. Second: she moves us from Daytona Beach to Miami. I know it's still in the same state but still, I had to leave my friends and everything I loved. It's not hard for me to make friends. Thirdly: The crazy bitch uses me as her own personal punching bag every time we get in a fight.
I am lightly tanned with natural blonde hair with brown underneath, I promise it's not dyed it's just the way my hair is, and dark ocean blue eyes with bits of green in them. I love surfing, volleyball and soccer. So I have a pretty good body. I had four best friends in Miami. Gill, Maddi, Johno and Declan. I'm really gunna miss them but dad said that they can come visit whenever they want. He also said that he lives next door to a bunch of like fifteen teenagers; he said their friends are always over there as well. He said he usually goes over there because he is close friends with the tribal elders Billy and Old Quil, and Harry but he died a couple of years ago. Dad was really shaken up. He told me that they are a great bunch of kids. He said the house was massive and that Collin, his two brothers and cousin Stevie, who is a girl, are even more loaded than him. After telling me about all of that he told me that I would get along with them great.
My mum and I are always fighting she has a shitty job and no money. I on the other hand do have money. You see my dad's a doctor and when he moved to La Push there was only one hospital there and that was in the neighbouring town of Forks. Weird I know, I mean seriously cutlery. When he first told me the name I asked him and he just laughed and said "I have no idea Kyra-bear". So anyway, there was only one good doctor there at the time, Dr Cullen, and they were more than willing to have him and he gets paid loads but he also has a job over the internet selling stuff and organising the shipping of peoples things, weird right, but he gets paid so. Every month he sends me a lot of money and one, sometimes two, big bags of clothes. He says they are from Dr Cullen because his daughter, Alice, loves to shop but I'm not complaining.
So anyway how I ended up at the airport you ask. Well my mother and I got in a massive fight, nothing unusual, because I came home half an hour late from party when she was only getting home herself, from god knows where, but she wasn't even supposed to be home. Probably off banging someone knew like every other week. She screamed and yelled at me, the bitch of course slapped me numerous times, at least she didn't do stuff as bad as she usually does. That was it. I had had enough; I walked up to my room crying as I locked the door and rang my dad. I told him everything that had happened. He said that I could move in with him and that he would talk to the law office and get custody of me, because the law office said that if I ever wanted to live with my dad I could and also dad's friend was in the department where they dealt with custody issues. He told me to start packing all of my stuff in boxes and seeing as it was Saturday tomorrow and mum was at work he would send for people to get all my stuff. Luckily I never unpacked most of my stuff so I just packed up all of my clothes and just kept a suitcase full of clothes and necessities I would need until Monday which is when my flight is.
When Monday came I took my suitcase down stairs and put it buy the door. I hadn't spoken to my mum since our fight on the Friday night. She walked down stairs in the morning at 7am and took one look at the suitcases and asked.
"and where do you think you're going, Kyra Callaghan?"
"to live with dad. He has custody of me now"
"so that's why your room is like .... empty" ah nuh.
"yeah everything has been packed up in boxes and sent up there to his place. Dad said that everything is already unpacked in my new room."
"well, good riddance at least I can have a life now" bitch.
"Whatever. Can you give me a lift to the airport my flight leaves in an hour"
And that's how I ended up here. Waiting for my flight from Miami to Seattle. All six hours and 45 minutes of it, not to mention another hour on a small plane from Seattle to Port Angeles and then an hour and a bit in the car to La Push.
As I got off the plane at Sea-Tac, the airport in Seattle, I saw that my small flight to Port Angeles was in half an hour so I decided to call dad.
After 5 rings he picked up "Hello"
"hey dad, it's me"
"oh hey baby! Where are you?"
"I'm at Sea-Tac. My flight to Port Angeles leaves in fifteen minutes"
"baby, I'm so sorry but I can't pick you up from the airport,"
"what! Why not"
"I'm caught up in surgery and I won't be home until late tonight. I'm so sorry Kyra-bear."
"it's ok"
"you know those girls I told you about that live next door"
"Yea, what about them?"
"they offered to come and get you. I hope that's ok"
"ohhh, that Stevie chick"
"yes, baby"
"ok cool"
"sorry baby but I gotta go"
"alright see ya later"
"bye Kyra-bear. Love you"
"love you too daddy"
After I hung up I went to give my ticket to the ticket person. As I walked up the small aisle there was a group of teenage boys looking at me like I was a piece of meat. It was kinda creepy. They were appraising my outfit. I was wearing a dark grey skin tight dress, it was short but it had long sleeves and was low in the chest with buttons, a yellow sweater, which showed off some of the buttons, dark tan ugg boots, a fluro hoodie, with some alien looking balloons on it with black wrist bits and black also at the bottom of it, my brown sunnies and light tan messenger bag. They were looking far too much for my liking. They'll be lucky if I don't deck 'em. One by one.
Unfortunately my seat was across the aisle from them. I sat down without looking at them, pulled my iPod out, closed my eyes and ignored them the rest of the trip.
And before I knew it the pilot said we were landing. I put my iPod away and straightened my dress and sweater out, my hoodie was strung across my messenger bag.
I got off the plane and walked into the tiny airport; I put my bag over my shoulder and straightened up. I could feel the group of boy's eyes on me as I walked ahead of them up to get my bag from the luggage bay.
"Hey hotstuff. Can I help you?" a voice from behind me said and then added "with anything at all"
I turned around to see a boy about my age maybe older he was quite hot but he seemed like a playa so I just turned back around waiting for my luggage.
"oh come on" he lightly touched my ass.
I turned around so fast, he didn't have time to react, and grabbed his nuts in my hand and squeezed. His face scrunched up in pain and he made a whimpering sort of sound.
"Did I mention the kick in the groin you'll be receiving if you touch me one more time?" I whispered in his ear. He seemed pretty scared because he whimpered again.
I let go and turned to see my luggage just about to go back in for a full circle. I huffed in frustration. That guy, we shall call him...cockhead, was still standing there behind me.
"What're you still standing there for huh?" I asked, no response, "Did the aliens forget to remove your anal probe?"
Then he walked away back to his friends who were all laughing at him. I turned around to see my luggage coming towards me and I leant down and picked up my heavy suitcase from the conveyer belt. I started towards the doors that lead towards the parking lot.
"Excuse me. Are you Kyra Callaghan?" said a sweet voice from behind me.
I turned around to see a really pretty girl, who I could only guess was Stevie because she looked just like my dad described. Dirty blonde hair, tall, tanned, fit, brown eyes.
"Yea" I answered hesitantly.
"oh thank-god!" she laughed "I'm Stevie by the way" I put my hand out to shake but instead she pulled me in for a friendly hug. I hugged her back surprised.
"so I saw your little episode here with that cock-sucker of a dude, aye. Pretty impressive! I think you and I are going to get along just fine" she said with a laugh.
"yea he was perv." I said disgusted "I hope so. I didn't really have any good friends perse"
"oh well honey, you have good friends right now. 'Cause I already see you as a close friend" she said giving me a sweet one-armed hug. "Come on, the cars outside. Nessie and Claire are with me. You'll like them they are really cool" I nodded.
"uumm, ok"
"don't worry, you can have shotgun" we laughed at her childishness. If Steve has anything to do with it, I think I'm gunna like it here.
Once we walked out of the small airport there was a massive, and when I say massive I mean monstrous, black truck waiting with two other pretty girls leaning against it chatting happily to one-an-other.
"yo! Ness, Claire this is Kyra. Kyra this is Nessie and Claire" Stevie introduced.
"Hey" they said in synchronization and they both came forward to give me a friendly hug. Sometime during this Stevie took my suitcase and put it in the bed of the truck.
"alright! Everyone in! Kyra has shotgun" Stevie announced poking her tongue out at the other two.
Once I managed to jump, yes I had to jump and I'm not all that short, into the front seat of the car, I noticed that it was black leather interior and quite spacey.
"is this your car?" I asked Stevie when we were driving out of the airport.
"nuhh, it's my Boyfriend, Brady's." She answered dreamily. Aaawww, they must be a cute couple.
"do you have a boyfriend?" Stevie asked looking at me out of the corner of her eye.
"oh god no!" she looked at me surprised "well let's just say that the guys I've dated turned out to be exactly like cock-sucker in there" I jerked my thumb towards the airport. "do you guys have boyfriends as well?" I asked Nessie, whose real name I learnt was Renesmee, and Claire. They both nodded their heads. "cool. Looks like I'm the odd one out"
"maybe, For now. You might meet someone here that you like" Stevie said.
"I dunno" I shrugged.
"honey, I live in house full of teenage boys. And maybe one of them will fall for you, and same goes for you"
"yea maybe"
"well you can meet them all tonight because you are staying at our place until your dad gets home" she looked over at me, I don't know what she saw on my face, but she added "is that ok?"
"huh? oh yeah, that's fine" I smiled.
On the drive towards La Push I learnt that Stevie and Nessie were 17 and Claire was 16. But they said even though I'm younger than them I can still sit with them at school because six of the boys are 15, like me, and they sit with them also. I learnt that Stevie loves sports, that she rides motocross, plays soccer and basketball, surfs, skateboards and is a hip hop and Ballet dancer. She is also a mechanic and likes playing with car and motorbike engines. Ness and Claire said that she is extremely fashionable, but by the sounds of it so are they. Stevie said she's not big on shopping but she likes it, when on the other hand Ness and Claire love it. I told them I liked shopping and they said that one weekend they would take me shopping. Stevie also said that if I wanted to she would teach me how to ride a motorbike.
"ok here we are. We'll just stop out the front of you place and put your suitcase in your room, yea" Stevie said.
"yea that's cool" I said a bit dazed as I looked at the two massive houses in front of me. One, was only two story, which was my new house, the other was like 4 friken stories. Mine was white on the outside with wood around the windows and door. When you walk inside there is the kitchen to your left and a big lounge room to your right. It was modern but felt like hoe already. Stevie lead me around and took me upstairs to my room. I opened the door to see a room bigger than the one I had in Daytona Beach and Miami put together. It was simple but fabulous. Across the room from the door, it had a big king bed in the corner, under one of the two windows that face out towards the breath-takingly beautiful forest. I walked around my room and saw everything was modern. There was a big walk in wardrobe, with all my stuff and more in it, next to my bedside table. There was a black desk with my laptop and photos already set up on it. My iPod doc was already set up on my bedside table. There was a brown couch in there a flat screen TV and a joining bathroom. Which was brown and white, it's really relaxing.
"do you like it? Your dad asked me if I could unpack and set up all your stuff. You don't mind do you?" Stevie asked from the door.
"no of course not. I love it did you design it as well?"
"yeah your dad told me what you liked gave me some money and Ness, Claire, Alice, who is Nessie's cousin, and I went to Seattle and bought everything but we bought some things online." She stopped and then remember something "and we added heaps of clothes to your wardrobe, think of it as a moving in gift" she said sheepishly.
I ran over to her and gave her a big hug. "thank you so much! I've only known you for an hour and you've already done so much for me"
"it was no problem and all. It was actually kinda fun" she said happily.
We walked back out the front to the truck and jumped in so Stevie could put it in the garage. Nessie and Claire weren't in there so I assumed they just went inside their house.
Once we had parked the car in the garage we went inside. It was massive. It had a huge living room downstairs with a hallway that joins the kitchen. Stevie said that she would give me a tour later when I had rested a bit. We walked into the lounge room and there was just one shirtless boy sitting there with his back to us.
"Caleb?" Stevie asked surprised.
"Hey Stevie" He said in a sexy husky deep voice. Wait what am I thinking I've never even met the guy before.
"I thought you'd be with the other guys"
"nahh I didn't really feel like going out today, they're probably just messing around somewhere doing something stupid"
"uh huh and you are usually in the middle of all that. You know Mr Mastermind" she laughed.
He laughed. A deep sexy laugh. Fuck here I go again. "yea usually just didn't want to ya know?"
"haha yea ok" she answered then turned back to me. Recognition dawned on her face. "Caleb this is Kyra, Bruce's daughter"
He turned around for the first time. He was so fucking hot. He would put Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp to shame. He had beautiful greyish blue eyes. When our eyes met I felt a weird pulling sensation in my chest, pulling me to him, like metal cables. He looked like a blind man seeing sun for the first time. He quickly got up putting his bag of Doritos on the coffee table, his eyes not leaving mine, and walked around the couch towards me until he was standing right in front of me.
"hey" he said in that deep husky voice of his.
"hi" I said feeling a boost of confidence.
"I'm Caleb" he said extending his hand and looking me up and down.
"Kyra" I said taking his hand and doing the same.
Our hands lingered while we looked into each other's eyes and I felt as though I could see into his soul. We heard someone clear there throat, we both snapped our heads towards the interrupting culprit.
Stevie just laughed. "Shit how did I guess this was gunna happen?" she said winking at us before walking into the kitchen. Where I could hear Nessie and Claire talking and banging pots and pans.
"So you wanna sit down?" Caleb asked breaking the silence.
"yea sure, why not" I laughed and he smiled, showing off a perfect set of pearly whites. I had to get braces from when I was 11 to when I was 13.
We walked over and sat down on the couch. I pulled one leg up underneath me so I was sort of sitting half Indian style.
"so your 15?" Caleb asked.
"yea, what 'bout you?" I asked back looking at his handsome face.
"yea same" he laughed. "so are you starting school at La Push high tomorrow?"
"yea unfortunately" he looked confused "I don't like school. At all."
"why not"
"let's just say... I'm not easily accepted" I laughed.
"Don't worry, you won't have that problem here!" he smiled "how are you getting to school tomorrow?"
"well dad said he wants to drive me, seeing as its my first day and all. Then after that... I have no idea. I'll either walk or... yea I don't know" I laughed "how do you all get to school?"
"Stevie or someone with their licence. I'm sure after tomorrow you can come with us for sure" he said sweetly.
"yes she can" we heard Stevie yell from the kitchen.
We laughed together "see I told you" Caleb said breathlessly. So hot. Bad Kyra.
"so..." Caleb started "do you wanna play 20 questions?"
"yup let's go! You can go first" I said excited.
"ok then. Uuummm... ok I got it, favourite animal?"
"wolf" he smiled at that "my turn um, favourite colour?"
"ocean blue. Favourite band?"
"uumm I have heaps"
"name one you like then" he grinned.
"uuhh Four Year Strong and Flipsyde. My turn, favourite animal?"
"same as you wolf" he smiled embarrassingly "my turn, favourite colour?"
"lime green and greyish blue" oh my god I can't believe I just said that. I could feel the blush heat up my cheeks "my turn, what your favourite band?"
"uumm Jimmy Eat World, Blink-182 anything rock" he grinned sheepishly.
"I like rock but I like other stuff aswell"
"cool. Alright my turn... do you have any peircings or tattoos? If so where?"
"that's two"
"you can have two next time ok sweet cheeks" he grinned smugly.
"fine" I said faking exasperation "I have my bellybutton pierced and my ear's two on each and on my left ear I have it done up the top. I want to get a tattoo dad said for my 16th I can get one if I still want one"
"did your bellybutton hurt?"
I lifted up my shirt subconsciously to look at my bellybutton and touched it "nahh not really same as my ears" I looked up at him to see him staring at my stomach. "like what you see?" I asked cheekily.
"uumm yea" he said still looking at my flat stomach.
"ok my two turns" I said pulling my shirt down "Favourite sport, do you play?"
"ok I'm on the school soccer, baseball, basketball and Football teams. So is Stevie, our teams have boys and girls cause all the high schools around here are so small. I like motocross surfing and love skateboarding"
"wow" I said amazed at how much he can do.
He laughed "what bout you? What forms of physical activity do you do?" he asked I giggled at his choice of words.
"well seeing as I lived in Daytona Beach and Miami, I like surfing, soccer and volleyball. I don't mind watching the NFL, baseball or basketball, but only in small doses" I laughed "and I dance"
"well good luck with small doses of sport you've got planned" he laughed and I joined in.
It went on to be game of like a million questions and we laughed and joked with each other until one caught my attention.
"why did you wanna move in with your dad?" he asked.
"I hate my mum" I stated simply.
"why?" he asked, seeming actually interested and caring. I don't know why but I actually trusted him and felt like I could tell him these things that I didn't even tell my friends in Miami.
"well you probably know she cheated on my dad then moved me away from my friend to Miami. Every week she would be with someone new. When she would bring them home I would always either go out or lock myself in my room because the first time she brought someone home he was a perv and started to touch me" I paused to look at his face, he was shaking slightly so I grabbed his hand to comfort him and myself. "I didn't let it go any further than that I kicked him in the balls and ran all the way to my friend Declan's house because his mum knew about everything, but Dec didn't. Yea so anyway after that we would always get in fights, because she would pick me up for the littlest things, like being in the shower for a minute to long, straightening my hair too much, going out too much and yea, stupid shit like that. She would also use me as her own personal punching bag" he started shaking again and I was on the verge of tears. He grabbed my other hand and held both of my hands in between his big warm ones. "so yea on Friday night I came home half an hour after my curfew and she was just getting home as well, she wasn't even supposed to be home at all, and yea we started yelling at each other and she started throwing stuff and" I paused "I knew what was coming next so I just took it"
"sweety" he lifted my chin to meet his eyes, when he saw that my eyes were all teary he pulled me into his lap and just hugged me for about ten minutes until I calmed down.
"you ok?" he asked sweetly.
"yea, sorry bout that" I said embarrassed.
"no, no don't be sorry. I'm glad you told me" I must have looked confused "that means you trust me enough after being with me for like 2hrs"
"yea I do trust you, more than I trust my friends I've known for 2yrs"
"and don't worry you won't have to see your mum ever again" he hugged me tighter.
"what if she comes to get me?" I asked scared because that's something she would do.
"I won't let her hurt you ever again, I'll stay with you and protect you" he lifted my chin up with his finger, to look me in the eyes "I promise" he said so sweetly.
I got lost in his eyes and he slowly started to move closer and I found myself doing the same. Our lips were an inch away when Stevie interrupted us.
"Guys food ready I– opps sorry" she said sheepishly running back into the kitchen.
Caleb started laughing and as embarrassed as I was, being caught nearly kissing a guy on my first day here and even better my first two hours here, I started laughing as well.
"do you wanna go get something to eat? Cause once all the other guys get home it will all be gone"
No "yea ok" I reluctantly got off his lap and stood up and walked into the kitchen with Caleb close behind.
"have fun?" Stevie said winking at us. I blushed and put my head down.
Stevie, Nessie and Claire just laughed. I got my dinner and sat down at the table.
"Stevie?" I asked, she looked over at me "why is there so much food? It looks like it could feed an army!"
"honey I live in a house full of teenage boys. This'll all be gone at the end of the night"
After piling his plate Caleb came and sat next to me, and when I looked up he looked down at me and gave me a soft smile and grabbed my hand under the table and gave it a light squeeze before letting so he could eat his food.
Stevie, Claire and Nessie all got their food and sat down.
After about ten minutes of eating we were all done. Stevie was standing at the counter preparing dessert; Claire was wiping down where we all sat and then putting the place mats back. Nessie was helping with dessert while I washed and Caleb dried. When we were halfway through I heard voices come in the door and some footsteps before stampede rounded the corner. They all ran in to get food, nearly knocking me over in the process. Lucky Caleb was there and put his arm around my waist to protect me. Even once they were all seated he kept his arm there. He is so sweet I could totally see myself with him. What! I mean someone like him? Yea that's what I meant. Did I. No I didn't. Wait yes I di-
Stevie interrupted my internal debate. "guys this is Kyra, Bruce's Daughter. 'memba he told us she was coming?"
I looked over at Stevie she had her back leant against a very tall dude, who I could only assume was Brady. So cute. Kind of how e and Caleb look right no- oh my god his arm is still around my waist. Oh well. Please leave it there.
"ok Kyra, this is Jai, Joel, Brodie and Flynn the youngsters, they're Freshmen "she pointed them all out, they all smiled welcomingly but Brodie looked at me like I was a lollypop. "this is Chase, JC and Kasey, they're my cousins. Mitch and Jesse, they're Brady's younger brothers. They are all Sophomores, like you, oh and of course you know Caleb" she winked at us again. I blushed remembering the earlier incident, Caleb tightened his hold on my waist protectively. "that's Seth, Embry, Quil" she pointed to the man who had his arms wrapped around Claire "Collin, he's my cousin too, and Jake" she pointed to the man who had Nessie sitting on his lap. "oh and this is Brady" she added sheepishly. "you'll get to meet the rest of the gang on Friday night at the bonfire"
"uumm ok cool. Hey everyone nice to meet you all" I smiled.
"the pleasure is all mine" Brodie said slyly. And Caleb made a growling sort of noise. I touched his arm and smiled at him. He relaxed and smiled back.
"do you wanna go upstairs and watch a movie" he whispered in my ear. I could feel his hot breath tickling my skin. For the love of all that's holy!
"uumm yea sure"
We didn't even tell anybody where we were going we just left the kitchen and Caleb dragged me up the stairs. We walked to the end of the hall to find, another large lounge room that looked more like a games room, and Quil and Claire in an intensive make-out session.
"ugh, maybe not" Caleb laughed "we could go into my room and watch a movie" he looked down at me, our hands still intertwined "if you want"
"yea, where ever's fine" I gave him a small smile.
He smiled at me and dragged me up yet another set of stairs. We walked down the hall until we got to the second door on the left. He opened the door and walked in, still dragging me, kicking stuff out of the way on his way over to his bed. His room was nice and big with green walls, he had a king size bed with an orange and red bedspread. His chest of draws and wardrobe were all black and white. Matching, cute. He had hats hanging on the wall. He had numerous sports equipment scattered on the floor along with clothes and shoes. He had a black desk with a blue laptop set up n top and a conjoined bathroom. And across the wall from his bed was a big plasma screen TV with an X-box, Wii and a DVD player underneath it. He had four shelves of DVDs and games stacked on the wall next to the TV.
"do you wanna watch a movie or play a game?" he asked.
"uumm, how bout a game and then a movie" I looked at him expectantly.
He laughed and said "what game?"
Oh my god "do you have Wii Sports Resort?"
"yea, ya wanna play that?"
I nodded my head eagerly. He went over, found the game and put it in. Then he brought two controllers over, one for me and one for him. We stood at the foot of his bed ready to play.
"you ready?" he asked.
"hell yea, you're going down" I laughed.
He looked over at me and leaned in so his face about an inch away, I could taste his hot breath "no way" with that he leaned back laughing, leaving me stunned and breathless.
We played for about an hour non-stop. Just laughing and messing around and I had won a couple of times and Caleb had won a couple of times. We were even and it was down to the last game of Frisbee who won.
"why did you throw it over there! I'm over here!" I exclaimed laughing.
"that's the whole point not to let you catch it" he told me like I was some dumbass.
"fuck you! Throw the damn piece of shit"
"ooohhh feisty and competitive. Me likey" Caleb said teasingly wiggling his eyebrows at me. I launched myself at him trying to get his controller. "ok ok I throw it" he said laughing.
Ten minutes later we were on our second last round and I was winning by two points.
"suck on that!" I yelled triumphant "I'm winning" I said sticking my tongue out at him. He couldn't stop laughing. but just as I was about to throw the Frisbee he tackled me onto the bed, so I was underneath him.
"I don't think so" Caleb whispered. His husky voice turning me on. I may only be 15 but I can still get turned on.
Once I stopped laughing and our eyes met we found ourselves moving towards each other again. This time our lips touched sending and electric shocks throughout my whole body. He deepened the kiss by opening his mouth, I opened mine too. He glided his tongue along my bottom lip asking for entrance, I willingly agreed. Our tongues danced and fought for dominance. We broke apart to breath, he looked at me with his eyes filled with love and adoration. He moved me up the bed so my head was on his pillow and he was still hovering above me. He started to kiss my neck and my exposed chest. I pulled his lips back up to mine in a passionate kiss. We lay there like that kissing for another 5 minutes.
Caleb grinned happily "do you wanna watch a movie now?"
I just nodded not trusting my voice as my head was still spinning.
"A Knights Tale, with that Heath Ledger dude?" he asked.
"yes!" I exclaimed excitedly. I love that movie.
