His House

We drove around a corner and then stopped in front of a two story house; it had a square front with a veranda which was accompanied by a long seat covered in leaves. There were four windows which had blue shutters flapping around like they too were trying to escape, I know the feeling.

It looked as though the house was loveless and stared at me with cold eyes, this definitely wasn't my house but my old home wasn't either anymore. I climbed out of his truck and walked towards the door I wanted to have a look inside before Charlie tried to make a bonding experience out of it so I started walking towards the front door. Unfortunately I was stopped by loud call from behind me.

"Isabella" He shouted.

Bella you asshole.

"You will need the keys to get in. Here catch" He rose hi hand moving it in a throwing motion releasing the keys.

I caught them to my surprise but didn't dawdle on it and headed for the house. As I walked up I noticed the garage on the right and the slanted driveway where his work van rested. There was advertising all over the car except for the main contributor which of course was his, Charlie's Electrical and Plumbing Company.

He had started this business a while ago after he moved to America; he did well for himself and had gained the trust of many clients who were now his friends in forks. The only part I like about his job was that he is called away to their houses and at any sort of time which meant we wouldn't be around much to piss me off with his presence.

I had to wriggle the key for it to turn in the lock but eventually it clicked and the door opened. As soon as it opened I noticed a staircase straight ahead and to my left was a door which I peered into noticing a bed with ruffled covers, its Charlie's room. It had one large bed in the middle of the room with draws settled against the wall. I could see another door that looked like it led to a bathroom but I didn't really want to see any more of it.

I hated the vibe I felt, it was like where a creature who leaves his young slept. To the right was a study that didn't looked like it got much use but there was a few papers scattered on the wooden desk. It was strange room it gave the presence of a library like I was required to be quiet at all times. There was very little furniture only a desk and a file cabinet that looked out of place and a small leather arm chair that was big enough to swallow you whole.

I continued walking, to the left of the stairs there was a kitchen it had brown wooden cupboards with a silver refrigerator nestled in the wall. It moved in an arch where at the end of it was a bench. It didn't look as though it was used often, I gathered that Charlie ate out on the road. There was a table situated over the other side followed by a long old couch with a television in front of it.

I knew I wouldn't spend much time watching television so that room didn't appeal to me much. I walked back turning to go up the stairs as I did Charlie came barrelling in through the door with an irregular breath.

"My goodness I didn't think that it would be so hard to carry them all at once but boy was I wrong, I see you have given yourself a tour your room is upstairs I will bring these up in a second just need to catch my breath" He stopped in the hallway and put the bags down still trying gain a proper breathing pattern.

I continued walking up the stairs, there was an empty room on the left it was filled with fishing gear, boxes, a Christmas tree and other pieces of invaluable junk. There were two doors at the end of the hallway one directly down the middle and the other on the right but they were close to each other.

I opened both doors at the same time I was sick of discovering new things today, the one directly in front of me was my bedroom and the one on the right was a small bathroom I was glad that I had it all to myself. I walked into the bedroom the door swung fully opened; there was a double bed to the left in the middle and a set of draws next to it. They were tall and dark brown, the room was dark blue and had posters of random bands and images.

I guess it was a lame attempt of trying to understand my generation. There was a desk on the other side with an old looking laptop humming on standby; a few empty books and pencils were present. It looked staged. A built in cupboard was situated next to it, this completed the room.

I walk in circles gathering myself I could hear him once again attempting to drag my stuff up the stairs he tumbled into my room and tripped on the biggest suitcase but composing himself just in time.

"No need to help me I'm fine" He said sarcastically pushing the bags in now instead of picking them up.

I didn't take it sarcastically and I walked over to the window, opening it to let the cold air come tumbling in, it was refreshing but short lived as when I turned back Charlie was still present in the room.

What did he want he knew I wouldn't answer any of his questions and that I wouldn't ask any? He stared back and then continued pushing them until he stopped leaving them for me to unpack, as he walked down the stairs I heard him yell something to me

"You will talk maybe not now but soon do you hear me, dinners in ten" He turned and headed for the kitchen, Charlie was always one for being forward.

I closed my door and to my surprise there was a lock on it I thought for sure that he wouldn't have put one on just so that he could enter whenever he felt like it. I snapped it shut and proceeded to put my suitcases in the far corner, I climbed onto the bed and started to pull down the ridiculous posters off the walls they looked better plain.

I decided to go for a walk, to get out of his house and see what this small town had to offer. As I walked down the stairs he was in the kitchen frying some steaks in the pan I hoped he wouldn't look up but he did catching my eye and zoning in on it. He went to speak but I stopped him lifting my fingers and showing them walking on the air, I then raised all my fingers showing ten minutes.

"Oh you want to go for a walk that's fine just don't get lost ok or I can come with if you want I'll show you all the local hang outs and where your high school is" The steaks began to burn. I shook my head and raised my earphones to my head and began walking towards the door without a second glance behind me.

I didn't want to see or meet anyone so I decided on going for a walk into the forest; there was a trail that I could follow which would make it easy for me to get back. The sun was slowly sinking but that didn't bother me, the forest smelt damp and full of creatures big and small.

I looked at every detail hoping to find a flaw but failed. My thoughts wondered past here and back to Australia I pictured my room with my possessions and my proper posters. I pictured the over grown back yard that every weekend mum and I would promise to clean up and look presentable, but always abandoning shortly after starting. My younger sister would always laugh at our attempt but still enjoyed watching us try.

I snapped back and opened by eyes quickly trying to focus on something, anything to distract me. I hated thinking about them I mean I loved it, but hated it, the happy memories, the love, it was all too hard. All of sudden I was there again the car was upside down blood was running down my forehead.

I couldn't smell smoke but I was sure that fire would soon start I felt the most unbearable pain coming from my chest as shards of glass had pierced me through my sweater. They hadn't gone too deep but there were many of them. I was still alive but I couldn't hear anything other forms of life.

All of a sudden there was a loud bang which woke me from my disturbing trance I looked around to see where it came from until I realised that I was flat on my back with a broken branch underneath me.

There was a sudden ache as I tried to stand I was defiantly going to bruise but at least it would fit in with my other ones. I began to walk back suddenly relieved that there was no one around to see me fall and almost break my back. However, for some reason I felt as though something else was watching me and not just the trees. As I walked back I realised it had gotten dark which made the path harder to see I kept walking not really caring whether or not I was going in the right direction.

I could hear all the night creatures beginning to wake from their slumber I tried to tread lightly just in case I stepped on their domain and awoke them earlier than they should. I could see lights ahead and knew that I was getting close to the house I was about two hundred metres away when I heard something move behind me. I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me now as though their eyes were burning into the back of my head.

I didn't turn but proceed towards the lights when I managed to break through the wall I figured it was safe enough to turn around. My eyes scanned trying to make do with the small light that the moon was giving, then a movement not a big one but there was still something.

I watched waiting for the forest to give me an encore. There was nothing I started back towards Charlie's house quickening my pace just in case. As I walked in the door I could smell the burnt steaks, it didn't matter I wasn't hungry anyway I got my small appetite from my mother.

"Where have you been you were gone much longer than ten minutes I was that close to calling the cops plus who knows what dangerous people are out there" He looked at me searching for a reason on my face. Like always I said nothing and shrugged my shoulders.

He looked angry and I knew that eventually he would sit me down and not let me leave until I talked. Nevertheless until that time I was not planning on saying much. I began to walk up the stairs entering my borrowed room I heard a plate smash and Charlie cussing at something. I went to the bathroom and got undressed I didn't notice the bruise on my back until I got out of the shower there was a long purple line on an angle, like a trail to my other bruises.

My body looked like a collage of cuts, bruises and stiches I knew that I was going to be stared at and gossiped about tomorrow on my first day there. I took my medication opting to exclude the mild sedative that I used sometimes I didn't need people thinking I was on drugs as well. I got into my pyjamas being careful not to irritate the bruise anymore covering myself in the covers trying to soothe my body.

I watched the rain fall down my window each drop individual and wet I tried to sleep and not think about school the thought of new people made me nauseous and nervous. I was only just starting to get to know the new me and all the things that I would do.

I tried to think about something else, the forest came to mind as I let the images of what I saw today flow through, imagining its story and how it had begun eventually I fell into a dreamless deep sleep.
