A/N: I'm really going to try to keep up with this story, but I have like 50 other ones going on, and school and other stuff so if this takes a while to get uploaded then…don't be on my case about it. I'm sorry. I apologize early. K…
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Stand By Me
Officer Carlisle pulled up to Grandma Pearl's house and I smiled as I saw kids at play in the streets, and the garden in the front yard. This was a nice neighborhood; nothing like my old one. People could roam freely around here and not get shot around the corner. This was paradise to me.
"Okay Natalie, just get your stuff out of the car and I'll go talk to your Grandmother." Officer Carlisle said to me. I nodded and got out of the back seat. When I got out of the cop car I saw kids staring at me, probably because I was getting out of a cop car, because you don't see that everyday. I brushed my long hair out of my eyes, and behind my shoulders. I went to the back of the car and opened the trunk. There, I had my three bags. One had clothes, one had hygienic stuff, and one had my special stuff such as the blanket my mom made me, the coin my father had given me, my teddy bear from when I was a baby, and some other stuff.
"Natalie!" My grandmother Pearl shouted from the front door. "Come here, Darling, oh you must be just miserable." She cried. I shook my head and smiled towards her.
"Coming, Grandma." I shouted back and held tightly on to my bags. Two boys from across the street eyed me as I walked past them to walk around the car. They whispered to each other and I just smiled at them. I looked away and went over to my Grandma.
"Oh Natalie, how you've grown since I last saw you! I remember when you were just an itty bitty baby!" She kissed my forehead and both my cheeks. On normal circumstances, I wouldn't allow that, but these aren't normal circumstances. It's not everyday you get to see the one and only person that cares about you on this planet.
"I really missed you!" I said, hugging her tightly. She smiled into my eyes and I knew this was going to be better than any life I was living before.
"Okay well since you're all set, I guess I'll be going. Natalie, you call me if you ever have any issues. You're Grandmother has my number. Goodbye, now." Officer Carlisle tipped his hat and got back in his car. We waved to him and went inside Grandma Pearl's home.
My first thought was that this place smells like soup, but then I remembered that an old person lived here. Overall though, this house was much nicer than the one I had before. She took me through all of the rooms and showed me the bathrooms, the kitchen, the family room, her room, and my room. My room was big with a nice, comfy looking bed, butter-yellow walls, and a huge window with a beautiful view. I dropped my stuff and plopped down on my new bed.
"Thank you, Grandma." I said, smiling so broadly my lips might've snapped. She took a seat next to me.
"Why you're welcome, Natalie. I'm just trying to give you everything you deserve." She hugged me and I felt so welcome. This life would be perfect. This life would be amazing. This was my new life.
A/N: I know it's short but I need an introduction. I suck at actually starting stories but once I get them going, they go well. New chapter of Dear Chris is almost done. Check it out. I'm still writing oneshots. Who knew they'd be so helpful when you're trying to let some feelings out? Okay…review my stories. Kthanks.
