So I love the covenant. It's actually one of my favorite movies. I'm kind of a nerd If you have read any of my fanfic's (If you haven't read any of them you should go and read some). So everyone knows the more reviews I get the faster I write a new chapter
Basically this fanfic is about the son's of Ipswich. Caleb has a sister that their mom sent away three years ago. All of the boys consider her there little sister just as much as Caleb does. Bailey has a history with Tyler who now at the beginning of their summer before college has a girlfriend. Bailey is also hiding a secret, a few actually from everyone.
Please review
Let me know what you like & what you don't like!
Thanks

Chapter 1 – Breathing
I walked forth towards the house, my house, my family's house. I hadn't been here for three years. My father hadn't been here in nearly a decade. I walked up the steps towards the large mahogany door. Truthfully I was scared. I wasn't prepared for what my mother was going to say to me, after all she had been the one to kick me out and send me to Boston. I had to breath, that's all, just breath. In…one, two… out …one, two.
Finally I realized that I had been standing there breathing for quite sometime. I was calm enough, brave enough to open the door now; at least I hoped I was. I grabbed to door knocker and knocked. No answer. Again I knocked. Oh great no on is home.
My first thought obviously was why wasn't my mother home? She was a drunk who never really did anything. My brother always went out to get groceries or supplies. He was a pushover who would do anything for our mother. I never was, I would always tell her to lay off the booze, sober up and go get the groceries herself, like a normal mother was supposed to. I think that is why she hated me so much, I spoke the truth.
I knocked for a third time before finally giving up. I turned away from the door and stood at the top of the steps. I looked up towards the sky. It hadn't changed much. It was still the same grayish blue it had always been filled with fluffy gray clouds. The clouds always calmed me down. I don't know why considering they were always storm clouds, and rain was said to make anyone sad. The sky here wasn't as beautiful as it was back in Boston. In Boston the sky was a bright and vibrant blue, and the clouds… the clouds were a sparkling blue, no trace of rain… rarely any rain.
There were six steps leading down to the ground. I decided to walk down and sit on the last step. I didn't know how long I planned to wait here, but I was going to wait as long as it took for someone to show up. I could drive somewhere in town, but I really didn't feel like it. For some reason waiting seemed like the best option for me. I could think, maybe clear my head. There are things I had to make up for. I never got to say good bye to anyone.
Reid would forgive me, that was a given. Reid was always so easy going with me, always letting me get away with things that Caleb never did. Reid Garwin defiantly would forgive me for not saying goodbye; he was the least of my worries.
Pogue Perry would be a little hurt. He always took taking care of me seriously ever since we went camping in the woods six years ago. Caleb had asked him to take care of me since he couldn't come. Pogue was very protective of me. They all were.
"Bailey?" I heard someone ask. I looked up and saw my older brother Caleb. I had thinking so hard that I hadn't even notice him pull up. He still looked the same. He had the same dark black hair as I did. His however was a lot shorter then mine. My hair flowed down to the middle of my back.
"Caleb!" I got up and hugged him. He was still much taller then I was when I was standing on the bottom step on the set of gray stairs. It took him a few seconds before he responded to my hug and started hugging me back. He pulled away and just looked at me.
"Three years Bail. I didn't know where you were, no one did. What happened to you?" He questioned. Caleb was concerned; I could see it in his eyes.
"You mean mom didn't tell you?" He looked at me dumbfounded. "She didn't tell you anything? Caleb mom sent me away. I came home one night and all my things were packed at the door. She sent me away to boarding school in Boston! I didn't really have a choice." He looked almost angry as I said this to them.
"No. Mom wouldn't do something like that even if she was angry at you." Caleb put his hands on my shoulders. "Bailey what actually happened, because I know mom didn't send you away!" I couldn't believe this! Caleb actually believed mom over me. I was so hurt and so angry that my eyes started to swell with tears.
"Caleb! I can't believe you. You're actually taking her side over mine? How many times have you had to carry mom to bed because she was to drunk to walk Caleb? How many time has she told you you're going to turn out like dad even though you know your not. Why don't you believe me? After everything mom has done to you… to me… to us. I think I deserve your respect, and I think you know that she did send me away, your just denying it Caleb." At this point I was crying, I came home and already I felt unwelcome.
Caleb hugged me again. "I'm sorry Bails. I know what mom's like. I just… I don't know what to believe right now. It's been three years, I'm just glad your home. You're here to stay right? At least for the rest of the summer?"
"Yeah, if mom lets me stay. I doubt she will…" Caleb looked hurt again. "Oh Caleb I'm sorry I said that, I didn't …" I quickly tried to change the subject. "When do you leave for Harvard?"
"I leave the twenty fourth of August. So you'll stay until then?" He looked hopeful. Almost as if he wanted me to stay for the rest of the summer.
"I want to, and I think I'm going to. It will be good for me." I smiled as Caleb wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
"Good. I'm glad to have you back sis. You better go get ready." He said. I looked up at him as he was unlocking the door.
"Ready for what?" I questioned.
"We are all going to Nicky's and if your staying for the summer you have to meet Sarah." He laughed as he pushed up the door and rushed me up the stairs.
