I had an idea and I love the Jacob stories so I had to make one. Some names are in Hawaiian so I have the pronunciation in case so without futher delay heres the story.
Disclaimer-I only own Aaliyah and her family.
Chapter 1- Special Dinners come with tears
Most people come here when they want to get to paradise. But when you live in paradise where do you go to escape from real life or reality for a while. I'm Aaliyah and I live in Honolulu, Hawaii. I bet your wondering where I go when I want some paradise.
Well for me it's the water it's like I live there. I'm always in the ocean doing some kind of water sport. But my life is surfing that's what I live for that's my destiny I was born to surf. I'm sure you're wondering why that is well my dad was one of the best surfers around. Until he got attacked by a shark and my dad healed and could surf again but people said he wasn't how he use to be like that accident scared him mental so after one of his competition my dad never surfed again.
My bother Julian started to surf but I guess as he got older he realized he didn't want to surf anymore and he joined the Marines when he was 18. My dad wasn't too happy about it at first but then he accepted it. I guess because of my love for surfing, I was surfing before I could walk and I do great in the competition because my dad trains me.
"Liyah you coming or not?" Christian asks snapping me out of my thoughts. I look around and realize I'm in the water on my surf board next to my boyfriend and the sun is setting.
"Yeah sorry I just spaced" he laughs.
"I know come on before we miss some good ones" I smile and follow him out to the oncoming waves. We catch the wave and ride it out. I smile as the wind blows through my hair and we ride down and let it carry us to shore. Once we are close we walk the rest of the way and sit on the shore next to our stuff.
"Are you ready for the competition in November" he asks.
"Yeah, my dad's been having me work a lot" I say and he pulls me into his arms and I lay back into him and sigh. Christian and I met when he moved here from Colorado in middle school and stared dating our 8thgrade year. He was into surfing as well but not as much as me. He wasn't into competing like I was but he would come and watch me though.
"Your dad's always making you work" I laugh a bit.
"I know that's just how he is" I say and we sit as the sun finally goes down. My phone starts ringing. I lean over in get it out of my bag.
"Hello?"
"Aaliyah where are you?" my mom asks.
"At the beach with Christian"
"Did you forget that I told you to come home early today for dinner" I ran my hand through my wet hair.
"Aww shit, sorry mom I forgot" I say.
"Watch your language Aaliyah and just hurry home"
"Okay" I say and hang up my phone. I get up and put on my backpack.
"You gotta go" Christian asks as he gets up. I nod
"Yeah I forgot mom said I have to be a dinner tonight" he nods as I hug him and reach up and kiss his lips.
"See you in school tomorrow, Love you"
"Love you too" I say as I grab my board and run up the beach and head home. By the time I make it home my clothes are dry. I put my surfboard in the garage and walk into the house dropping my bag in the hallway. I walk in the kitchen and see my mother, she turns to me.
"Glad to see you made it Aaliyah"
"Sorry I lost track of time" she nods.
"I know, go wash up for dinner so we can eat" she walks into the dining room and I head down the hall grab my bag and sit it on my bed. I walk into the bathroom and wash my hands and I head into the dining room. I sit next to my 14 year old sister Keilani (KAY lah nee).
"You smell like chlorine" she says smiling at me. I smile back at her even though most people don't get along with their sisters I do. I love Keilani she was like my best friend her and I do everything together and tell eachother everything.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." I say and I look across the table at my 6 year old sister Pualani (poo ah LAH nee). But we all called her Pua (poo ah) or Pooh Bear.
"Hey Pooh Bear" I say and she smiles at me.
"Hi Liyah" she says back. I look over at my dad and smile.
"Hey Dad" he smiles back.
"Hey Liyah how was the water?"
"Great" he nods and we all hold hands and say grace. Once we get our food on our plates we all start eating.
"So what's up with this 'Special Dinner'" Keilani asks and I laugh a bit that was Keil never one to beat around the bush. My mom looks over at me dad and he nods and she smiles.
"Well girls your father and I have some good news" we look at her waiting for her to finish. "I'm opening up a new restaurant."
"That's great mom" I say.
"Yeah that cool are you building it downtown or around here?" Keil asks. As my mom looks back at my dad and then at us.
"Well that's the thing it's not going to be here" I look at her and my dad confused and I'm not the only one.
"Well if it's not here where on one of the smaller islands?" I ask.
"It's being built in La Push" my mom says and both Keil and I stop and look at her.
"As in La Push, Washington?" she asks and my mom nods. My mom was Quileute and my dad was Hawaiian. My siblings and I were a good mixture between both parents Keilani and I have long brown hair from my dad's side and Pua and Julian have black hair like my mom. Keilani and I get our brown eyes and our light tan skin tone from our mom but we act like our dad. Pualani and Julian get their light brown eyes and their tan skin tone color from my dad but act like my mom.
"Well mom I'm going to miss you" Keil says and my dad sighs.
"No Keilani we are ALL moving to La Push" he says and Keil stops eating.
"What?! Are you serious?" she asks shocked.
"Yes we are serious" my dad answers and I'm shocked as well I mean we knew my mom grew up in Washington and my dad grew up here. I've visited La Push some summers to hang out with my cousin Kim and she's came here but I can't believe my parents are serious about this. I mean I love Kim, my aunt and uncle but I love it here in Hawaii too.
"Dad but all my friends are here" Keil whines.
"You can always make new friends Keilani" he says
"Where will we be staying?" I ask.
"On the Reservation near your Aunt Jasmine and you and Keilani will be going to La Push Tribal High School with Kim and Pualani will be going to La Push Tribal Elementary" my mom answers.
"But my mom I'm a senior this year I don't want to have to move and make new friends?" I've had the same friends ever since Pre-K.
"It's still the beginning of the year" she says "You're always good at meeting new people Liyah and you'll have Kim" I look at me dad.
"And what about surfing?"
"There's a beach in La Push so you can practice and if there are competition we'll drive to them or fly" he says and I sigh and lean back in my seat their minds where already made up we were moving. I'm excited to see Kim again because it's been awhile since I've been to La Push and I miss hanging with her.
"But-"
"No buts Keilani we are moving and that's final" my dad says with a lot of authority which basically lets Keil and I know there's no way we're getting out of this.
"When are we leaving?" Pualani asks.
"Friday" my mom says to her and Keil and I glance at eachother.
"This Friday?" I asks and my mom nods and Keil sighs and crosses her arms over her chest and I shake my head its Tuesday night right now. The rest of dinner was very quiet and when it was over Keil and I washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen.
After we're done clean I go and take a shower to get the chlorine off of me. I change into my pajamas and walk back into my room I see Keilani sitting on my bed.
"They can't do this" she says once I close my door.
"Well they're our parents and we have no choice" I say as I put my wet hair in a bun.
"I don't want to leave my friends and Jonathan just asked me out last month" I sit next to her I know how she feels I have to tell Christian I'm leaving and I'm not sure what he's going say. But she just started her relationship with Jonathan even though they grew up together they just realized their feelings.
"I'm sorry Keil, I'm sure he'll understand" she looks over at me.
"Really you think so?"
"I'm sure he will if he cares about you like you say he does" she nods.
"Whats Christian going say?" she asks I sigh.
"I have no idea I just hope he's not too mad"
"Well good luck" she says getting up.
"You too" she looks back at me.
"Thanks Night Liyah"
"Good night Keil" I say as she walks out of my room. I lie on my bed and look out my sliding door out at the beach and the stars.
The next morning I get up decided to wear my favorite skinny jeans and my Haley Convertible Top. I also decided to keep my hair down in its natural brown waves. I slide on my black sandals and I grabbed my school bag and walk down the hall to the kitchen.
My mom was in there making breakfast and I'm sure my dad was off at work. I walk in and kiss Pualani on the cheek and sit next to her.
"Good Morning Pooh Bear" she looks up from her waffles.
"Good Morning Liyah" I look over at my mom.
"Morning Mom" she turns and smiles at me.
"Good morning" she hands a plate and I start eating. "Where's your sister?"
"I don't know" she walks to the kitchen door and yells.
"Keilani hurry up and come eat breakfast!" she walks back and starts washing the dishes she use to cook with. Keil finally comes into the kitchen and she had on jean shorts and a tank top shirt and her hair straight.
"Morning" She says sitting next to me.
"Morning Keil" Pua and I say at the same time. She grabs her plate and starts eating
"Good morning Keilani" my mom says and Keil doesn't say anything and I know she still upset about the move.
"Well mom we better get going see you later" I say as I put my plate in the dishwasher.
"Bye" she says as I walk to the door.
"Bye Mommy" Pualani says as she runs to the door and stands next to me. Keil walks out the kitchen and we leave we drop Pua at school and we walk to the high school.
"I'll see you later" I say to her as she walks off to where her friends hangout.
"Later" I go to where I meet my friends at and I find them all there.
"Hey Aaliyah" my best friend Leila says to me.
"Hey" I say with little emotion and this sends up all kinds of red flags.
"Whats wrong Liyah?" my other friend Taylor asks. I sigh
"I'm moving this Friday"
"What!?" All my friends asks.
"Are you serious?" Alyssa asks I nod.
"Where are you moving too?" Leila asks.
"Washington"
"Why?" I shrug.
"My mom's opening up a restaurant but I think she just wants to be near her family" they all nod.
"Have you told Christian" Taylor asks I shake my head.
"No I just found out last night" As if on que Christian and some of the guys walk up.
"Hey Liyah" Christian says as he pulls me into a hug.
"Hey" I kiss him as the girls and guys talk to eachother. The bell rings and we all go to our classes. Which my first period I had with Christian, Leila and Rico.
"Whats wrong?" I look over at Christian confused.
"Huh?"
"Whats wrong you're really quiet so I know something's wrong" he says and I sighs.
"We have to talk but I don't want to do this now so can we go to the beach after school?" He looks over at me unsure but he nods. I silently dread the end of the day because I'm really not sure how I'm going tell him.
As the end of the day came to an end I waiting for Keil at her locker so I can tell her to walk home without me. I finally see her approach and I can tell by the look on her face today wasn't a good day.
"Hey Keil everything okay?" she shakes her head.
"No its not Jonathan says he didn't want to be in a long distance relationship but he still cares about me and want us to stay friends" I pull her into a hug.
"I'm sorry Keilani" she pulls away then opens her locker.
"It's okay I'm over it" but I know she's lying Keilani never likes to show her feelings. "Have you told Chris?"
"No I'm going to this afternoon at the beach, so can you pick up Pua on your way home" she nods
"Yeah I can and good luck" She says as she closes her locker.
"Thanks and it'll be ok Keil" she looks at me.
"I hope so"
"Hey Keil" I turn and see Chris
"Hey Chris, See you at home Liyah" she says walking away.
"Hey" Christian says to me. I smile
"Hi, you ready?" he nods and we walk to the beach silently. When we get to the beach we sit in the sand near the water.
"So what is this about Aaliyah?" I sigh and look out at the water.
"I'm….moving" he looks over at me in shocked.
"When are you leaving?"
"Friday" he sighs and looks over at the water.
"Where are you moving too?"
"Washington" when he doesn't say anything so I continue. "It's not that far away"
"I know but you're still leaving"
"I don't want it to end this way" I say as he looks down.
"Me either Aaliyah but let's face it I don't see a long distance relationship working" I don't say anything and he continues. "Aaliyah look at me" I turn my eyes to him.
"I'm always going love you no matter what but…"
"I understand" I say and he leans in and kisses my lips softly.
"Goodbye Aaliyah" He says as he gets up and walks away and I turn and look back over at the ocean as tears slide down my face.
"Goodbye Christian"
