Sasha & Xavier
A home and away fanfic
Being forced to leave the place you've grown up in is not anyone's idea for a perfect day. Sasha loved the city and couldn't see herself living in some seaside town called Summer Harbour down some dusty farm track in a rickety old house; with a father and siblings she had never even met before. The only plus side to moving was that if she wanted to, she would never have to see her stepdad ever again, and she definitely wanted to. She glanced out of the window of the taxi, the sun letting her see herself in the glass. A sign further up the road read, Welcome to Summer Bay. The sign well described the place, what with surfers jogging towards the sand, groups of girls laughing whilst tossing back their hair trying and very successfully getting the attention of passing surfers. Uggh, she muttered under her breath whilst looking away. The last thing she needed was to be surrounded by a bunch of overly happy people who don't have a care in the world, when she was grieving for her mother.
Chapter 1
I was right about the dusty farm road; the taxi rumbled down it as we approached the not so rickety farmhouse. My eyes brightened when I saw it, it looked so picturesque and peaceful against the skyline, but dimmed again at the reminder of the fast approaching meeting of my new family. The house first obscured by some trees now came in to full view.
The taxi pulled up outside; I stepped out to see four slightly nervous faces masked by forced welcoming ones. "What?" I snapped. Silence.
"Welcome Sasha," said one of the faces, a girl, indigo, and my half-sister. "I'm Indi," she continued with an awkward wave of the hand. "And this is my husband Romeo" she gestured to the tall, muscly, blonde-haired guy stood slightly behind her. "Nice to meet you", he nodded. Encouraged by his sister's introduction, a boy stretched out his hand "I'm Dexter but you can call me Dex" I reached out my fingerless-gloved hand reluctantly and shook his. "I'm guessing your Sid", I said with a slight edge to my tone to the middle aged man stood between Indi and Dex. "Yes and welcome to your new home" he answered. My new home, this is it. A few more years and I can legally get out of here. I was brought back to reality by the sound of voices. Sid had ordered Dex to get my bags from the floor where the taxi driver had dumped them in a heap. "You travel light" Dex acknowledged as he passed trying to carry three bags inside; leaving four still on the floor. "Well, I'm not travelling, I'm moving" I replied. "Good point" he said. "Don't worry I had a lot more bags than you have when we moved here." she smiled at me. "I wasn't worried" I snapped. Her smile faded.
I was shown to my room. Medium sized, double bed, view of the garden and pastures, you couldn't want anymore, but I did. I wanted my mum.
