Hi guys! I wrote a fanfic before but I got pregnant, had a child, and it's been a wild ride. I deleted it because I couldn't find my motivation anymore. Here I am with a new story! Hope you guys like it! Please review :)
"Mom, I'll be fine..." I huffed as my mom squeezed me into a hug. "I know you'll be fine, but I am going to miss you this summer," she pouted. I laughed at my mom's facial expression. My mom has always been so expressive and so outgoing. I was not like her at all, as much as I tried.
"Alright mom, I gots to go!" I urged her while ripping her apart from me. "Have fun! I love you Milly!" She shouted as I walked away.
I was currently in the airport boarding on a flight From Miami, Florida to Forks, Washington. I had an aunt that lived in a small reserve called La Push. She's my aunt from my dad's side and I haven't seen her since he passed away when I was 8. Now I'm 18 and my mom decided that I needed to get away for a while. She's right. I did need some space. I just hated the fact that it had to be with my aunt. It's not that I hated my aunt. In fact, I used to visit her every summer until my dad passed away. My aunt and dad were twins so looking at her would open old wounds.
Mom wasn't sending me back to rekindle my relationship with my aunt though. She was sending me there for therapeutic reasons. She wanted me to be away from the source of nightmares. What she didn't understand was that I was broken and it would take more than a summer trip to repair me, but here I was, finally landing at my destination.
Forks was cold, rainy, and always grey. It was nothing like Miami, where it was always sunny and even when it rained. I couldn't understand how mom thought taking a trip here would cheer me up. If anything, it should make me depressed.
After a couple of hours, I finally landed at Forks, Washington. The airport was empty compared to the one in Miami. Forks was a small town and people usually didn't leave the comfort of their town. I grabbed my suit case and started making my way to the pick up area of the airport.
"MILLY!" I heard a voice shout. I turned around to see my aunt holding a huge teddy bear. The bear was practically my height. I was 4"11, with long straight brown hair, and faired skin. I lived in the city best known for going to the beaches and getting a great tan, but that wasn't my scene.
"Hi aunt Jane," I smiled at her awkwardly. She immediately put the bear down and gave me a huge hug, which I returned slowly. "I haven't seen you since you were a little girl," she said while pulling me away from here and giving me a good look. "Yeah, long time no see," I laughed sheepishly. Aunt Jane grabbed the bear from the floor and handed it to me. "I thought this would make you excited," she smiled. I wrapped my small arms around the bear. "Super," I answered blandly. I could barely see anything in front of me. "Okay, lets go then. I'll grab your suit case, and you can carry your bear," she smiled. I nodded my head, but I was pretty sure she couldn't see me with the bear in the way. I walked closely besides her making sure I didn't run in to anyone.
The car ride was weird. She tried to make conversation with me, and I gave her half assed answers. I wasn't trying to be rude to her. It was difficult for me to open up to her. She was basically a stranger to me, even though it was my fault. After my father died, she tried to maintain communication with me, I was the one that avoided her. She really tried hard though. She called me on birthdays and holidays, but I was too stubborn to answer her. I finally talked to her after school ended, but it was just to let her know that I was coming to visit her. She was so excited, and I tried my best to express the same enthusiasm, but really I just didn't care much of the situation.
Aunt Jane was currently making her way back to her house. She didn't live in Forks, she actually lived in a little reserve called La Push. My dad's side of the family is part of the Quileute tribe. Unfortunately, the only person left on my dad's side of the the family was my aunt.
Aunt Jane parked in front of a little green house. It looked exactly the way I remembered it. "You can take the room you used to sleep in when you used to visit me," she smiled at me. I felt a pang of guilt when she said that. "Alright," I got out of the car and made my way to the trunk where I grabbed my suit case. Aunt Jane waited for me by the car still smiling at me. I found it a little uncomfortable.
"Alright, I got my suit case..." She nodded her head and led the way to the house. She unlocked the front door. The house was extremely dark. I didn't think much of it because obviously she wasn't home, so of course she would turn off all her lights. "Oh, it's so dark. Come on in, I'll turn on the lights," she said while urging me in. "Okay..." I didn't remember her being so weird. I walked into the house.
"SURPRISE!" People jumped out shouting. A man jumped in front of me. "MILLY!"
I let out a shriek and reflexes made me punch the man. I instantly regretted it as I felt the bones in my wrist crack. "Ahh!" I shouted in pain while grabbing my wrist. I knelt down to the floor trying to hold the pain.
"Are you okay Mills?" I looked up at the man that I punched. He was huge and ripped. He obviously knew me, but I couldn't recognize him. I gave him an angry "what the hell" look. I guess he realized I was lost.
"It's me Jake, are you okay?" he answered. I looked up to meet his big brown eyes. I felt my heart start to pulsate faster. "Jake?" I asked confused. Then I remembered little Jacob Black. Last time I saw him, we were both 8 and he helped me get through my dads funeral. "Omg, Jake..." I whispered surprised. He was a giant and his arms were so muscular. I guess his chest was also ripped because I sprained my wrist when I punched him. Jacob didn't keep his eyes off me, probably because he was concerned about me but he looked at me with such intensity that it made me nervous. I took a deep breath to try to calm my heart rate. I figured that the cause of my heart rate was due to the adrenaline rush I had from punching him.
"Ahrgg," I groaned grabbing my wrist. Jacob went down to my level. "Way to go Jake, she just got here and you already broke her wrist," another man said putting his hand on Jacob's shoulder.
"Hi Milly, remember me? Quil?" He said smiling at me. I looked up at Quil. He looked just like Jacob. He was tall and muscular. "What are you guys on? Steroids?" I groaned. "We should take you the hospital," Aunt Jane said worriedly. I shook my head no. "It's just a sprain... I just need a brace," I bit down on my lip. "I have one upstairs!" aunt Jane shouted while running upstairs. I got up and made my way to the couch. There was another huge man sitting on the couch as well, but I was able to recognize him. "Embry," I smiled at him. "I don't want to get too close to you. I don't want to break you," he laughed. You're not going to break me," I laughed and gave him a half hug.
"It's nice to see you again," I instantly recognized as Billy. "Hi Billy, long time huh?" Aunt Jane came downstairs and wrapped my arm. She gave me ibuprofen for the swelling. "Are you sure you don't want to see a doctor for that?" Jake said sitting extremely close to me. "Yes, I am sure," finding it strange that he was sitting so close to me. I shifted slightly away from him. "I am fine."
After my hand was wrapped, I went around and greeted everyone else. I hated surprises, but it would of been rude if I would of just gone upstairs. I made conversation with Billy and Sue, but as I spoke to them, I felt Jacob kept looking at me. Jacob noticed that I caught him staring. He made his way towards us and gave Billy an excuse to leave. I didn't mind, he did hurt my wrist anyways.
I walked towards Quil and Embry and made conversation with them as well. "Remember when we decided to make a volcano with diet coke and Mentos and we made such a huge mess!" Quil laughed. "Oh yeah! That was great! We made such a mess in Jacob's living room and then Billy made us clean up the whole place!" I laughed along. Quil and Embry were so easy going, they made interacting easy.
It was getting late and I was exhausted. "Thank you for coming to greet me, I really appreciate it," I smiled to everyone. Jacob walked through the door at the right time. "Hey Jake, we're leaving already," Billy said while rolling to the door. "Alright, just meet me by the car?" Jacob asked his dad. Billy nodded his head and left the house.
"See you around, okay?" Embry said while giving me one last hug. "We need to definitely hang out," Quil said also hugging me. "We'll see," I said jokingly, but what they didn't know was that I really didn't want to hang out with anyone. "It was great seeing you sweetie, you need to meet to kids. Seth and Leah have gotten so big too! They couldn't make it today because they were busy but you will see them around," she said winking at me. "Can't wait," I smiled.
Jacob was the only person left to leave. He came up to me, barely looking at my face. "You've changed," he said smiling. I snorted. "Me? You've changed!" He laughed, rubbing his head. "Sorry I had to leave, I had something to do." I nodded my head. "That's fine. You're not obligated to be here." He finally looked at me in the eyes. His eyes took my breath away and I felt my heart racing once again. I don't know why looking at him caused me to react this way, but I didn't like it. "U-um, I want to sleep. It was a long flight." I starting to feel panic and I wanted him out. "Okay? Do you want to hang out tomorrow?" he asked hopeful. "No." He looked at me shocked. "Look, I need to go." I grabbed my suit case with my good arm and started going upstairs. I left him dumb founded.
I went upstairs and threw my stuff on the floor. I took a deep breath and tried to get the image of Jacob's eyes from my memory. I had to sleep it off.
