Embry and Imogen
The plane flight had been long. I'd never really liked planes, to be honest, we didn't know how they worked so I never felt very safe hanging up there in the sky. Flying alone didn't really help either but we couldn't really have helped that. Before and after the journey I'd had many apologetic and worried phone calls but the taxi was nearly at my parents house and I couldn't wait to see them.
'This the one miss?' the driver checked as he slowed outside a pretty white house.
'Umm, Primrose Crescent?' I asked. How strange, I couldn't even pick out my own house. The taxi driver nodded as he stopped the car and got out to help me with my luggage. But just then the door opened and I knew for sure it was the right one. My little brother came flying out the door, followed by my Dad, who enveloped me in a hug as my brother clung onto my waist.
'It's so good see you, I've missed you tiger,' my Dad smiled as Isaac tried to pull me back into the house wanting to show me something.
'Let me bring my stuff in then I'll come with you Isaac,' I promised as he let go and ran back inside the house. As we began to ferry all my stuff inside my Dad asked me all the standard parent questions, how are you, are you healthy, are you happy, do you have any money… It was good to see him.
'Imogen, I'm going to put some of these boxes in the garage if that's okay? It's Elsie's birthday party tomorrow, so we're having a load of people over so you can sort them out after that it that's okay?' I nodded at Dad and followed him into the garage with the box I was carrying before he showed me my room.
'I'm afraid you're in the attic Im, it's easier that way,' Dad said, as we made our way up the third set of stairs.
'That's fine Dad,' I replied as we came into my room. It was small, but cute with a skylight on the left side of the room. I wasn't really sure if all my stuff was going to fit in here but I was, after all, only here for the summer. Three months here with my family before university once again started at the end of September.
I remember being somewhat surprised when my parents announced they'd be moving to La Push Washington, America when I left for my first year of university. To be fair it was the best time for them, Pete and Megan had already left home and I was leaving. Isaac, Matthew and Elsie were only in Primary School so now was the best time to go so as not to disrupt their education and so my parents decided to relocate in La Push. They left a week after I started university meaning I hadn't seen them all since September. Me, Pete and Megs had stayed with our Grandparents at Christmas and Easter as it would be too expensive for us to come out for just a few weeks so this was the first time I'd been to the house.
It seemed like a nice place though and, while I was going to be miss everyone at home, I was looking forward to spending the summer here. Pete and Megs would be flying out here soon with their respective other halves and I could tell Dad couldn't wait to have the whole family all together again.
'Immi, you said you'd play with me!' I heard Isaac call up the stairs as Matthew shouted after him.
'I'm coming,' I called back, placing the box of essential things inside my room. The rest of the packing could wait til after Elsie's birthday.
