Broken Hearts and Old Guitars
Chapter One
I looked out my bedroom window, at the pouring rain, and playing around with dad's old guitar. Thinking about the man my father was, and how cancer took him at such an early age. He was the lead singer for the band Lonely Things, yes I know who names a band that, but my father did and it rocked! I loved him, and I loved Colorado, but we were moving, moving to Forks, Washing ton, away from dad, away from death.
My mother was so torn by my father's passing, that she started having strange guys over, and she would send me to gram's house. We were also leaving my gram. Lovely gram, she was, oh so lovely when she was my age, which is seven-teen. I had to bid her farewell, which was very hard, because she practically raised me from when I was eight, till now. If father were still alive none of this would have happened!
Forks compared to Salt Lake is much rainier and cloudier. "So Aura do you like Forks?" gram asked when I called, "Uh no, no art gallery anywhere, ya know like the one you own?"I said twirling my hair with my index finger. "Sweetheart," gram said, "you might like it if you give it a chance." She said, my hero said that." But gram," I said,"Ok I'll give it a week, if I hate it I'm coming to live with you no questions asked!" I said and she agreed, so I went to bed.
The next day I went to school, mom went on an "I'll get you a car!" shopping spree, and gram was in Salt Lake painting. The people starred at me like they'd never seen a new girl before, but one actually spoke to me."Hi, I'm Bella Swan!" she said with an outstretched hand. "Uh…Hi I'm Aura Thomason, um; do all the mew people get starred at this much?" I asked, she looked around at the cafeteria full of people starring at me, "Yep." And with that we said our goodbyes.
That night mom was really happy. "Ok," she said when I came in, "get ready to say 'Omg 'to your new car!" she opened the garage door, and she was right, I said "Oh my GOD!!" I ran around the black Dodge Dart sitting peacefully as my new car, "Mom it's just like the one I had in Colorado!! Thank you so much!" she smiled and said "Your welcome, oh and you gram is coming down." I looked at her "Ahhh!! I'm having the best day ever!! When is she getting here?" I asked sitting down on the hood of the car, mom looked at me, "Tomorrow afternoon, she flying." I got off the hood of the car and gave mom a huge hug.
