"What"
Ashley practically yelled looking at her mother whose back was turned to her as she watered a nearby white rose to shield herself from her own daughter's heated gaze.
"I think it would be good for you to get out of Ohio… don't you?"
"No"! She spat back venomously, but truth was she was dying to get out of the boring and weird changing weather state.
She was just scared of facing change that's all and leaving all her lovely friends behind was not in any of her future plans. Her mom finally stopped drowning the white rose and turned to face Ashley.
"Look I think it would be a great opportunity for you to experience something new I mean when the last time you went out of Ohio"?
"Very recently actual"
"As in…"? She questioned raising her brown eyebrows slightly, I hesitated but answered
"Three years ago" Wincing I waited for her to say something but she just sighed
"Yep you're defiantly going"
I huffed loudly blowing my bangs from my face
"This is child abuse I tell ya"
My mom chuckled "you'll enjoy yourself believe me" she smiled widely than gave me a tight squeeze and released me a minute later.
"So what torturous place am I being sent to"? I said as we left the living room to walk into are large kitchen.
"Forks" she replied quickly, grabbing a crisp apple and taking a small bite.
I tilted my head "never heard of it, where is it at"?
"Washington"
"Hn interesting" another bite was taken of the apple
"When am I to leave for this Forks place"?
"In two days"
I nearly choked on my apple "wh….what!"
"Two days" she repeated this time a bit louder
"Will thanks for the short notice" I grumbled
"I already bought your plane ticket and everything so your all set"
I nodded a little than a question popped into my head but I was afraid to ask.
"Who am I staying with exactly"? Bracing myself for the answer mom turned a little more towards me
"Don't worry it's someone you know pretty well"
I gave her a look like "And"?
"You remember your Uncle Charlie don't you"?
I nodded "Ya but it's been awhile I haven't seen him since he got a divorce"
"Will you'll stay with him and his daughter Bella"
"Omg Bella! I haven't seen her since I was ten"!
My mom smiled a little "Is that a good thing or a bad thing"?
"I don't know" I said shrugging. "How old is she"?
"Ummm let me think"
I watched her silently as wrinkles formed in her perfect skin on her forehead as she thought.
"Will I think her birthday just passed recently so …. Eighteen"
I sighed again than finished the apple and chucked it into the waste basket.
"Great it's all settled than you can start packing tomorrow afternoon"
"Okay"
"Will I am going to bed now sweetheart night"
She kissed my cheek than I watched as she disappeared down the dark hallway and waited to move once I heard her bedroom door close. Sighing with relief my feet took me back to the living room and onto the leather couch where I wrapped myself up into a light brown blanket covered in Egyptian hieroglyphs with the moon and the sun, it was something I defiantly planned on taking with me to Forks. I laid there thinking when I heard rain splattering against the glass patio door and slowly my mind went to sleep and I let my eye lids flutter closed.
