You Only Live Once
Chapter 2
Getting up that morning was harder than Allie expected it to be. She had always wanted to get out of Liverpool, so now she had the chance, why was she so reluctant to leave? This was the question she asked herself as she put the last of her suitcases into the taxi that would drive her to the airport. Her mum and sister had both left for work earlier that morning and had said goodbye then so there was no one to see her off.
"Have you got everything love?" The taxi driver asked.
"Yeah, I think that's everything, we can leave now" Allie answered. Looking back at her house, she sighed. This would be the last time she would see it in a long time and she realised now that she was going to miss it and the street itself. She was going to miss the familiar faces she saw every day and the laughs she would have with her neighbours, who she got along well with.
'Oh well,' Allie thought, 'maybe I'll have nice neighbours in America aswell'.
As Allie got off the plane she smiled. Now that she was here she knew she was going to like it. In the distance she could see her Auntie Kath standing with her husband Peter. From what she could see, her auntie looked a bit older from the last time she had seen her 3 years earlier. Her once long brown hair had been cut short and had a few grey hairs and her beautiful, tanned skin was slightly more wrinkled. Nevertheless, her auntie was just as beautiful as ever and Allie couldn't blame Peter for glancing admiringly at her every so often.
Running towards the couple, Allie saw the moment Kath saw her for the first time. Her whole face lit up and she opened her arms wide for a hug.
"Oh Allie, I've missed you so much! I'm so happy you are coming to live near me for a year, we're going to have so much fun together!" Kath exclaimed.
Breathing in deeply, Allie couldn't help but find her Aunt's slightly woodsy smell comforting and familiar. It reminded her that her Aunt lived near the edge of the woods and she couldn't wait to go exploring as she had never really had the chance to do anything outdoorsy with all her school work and her dancing.
"I've missed you too! Shall we get going I'm quite tired after that flight," Allie asked, her eyes drooping slightly.
After a quick hello and hug from Peter, the trio made their way towards Kath's old, red pick-up truck that was in the car park. All of Allie's five suitcases fit perfectly into the back of the truck and the three climbed into the front.
As they drove towards Allie's new apartment in Forks, Allie couldn't help but stare out the window as they passed by a huge forest. Every so often she could have sworn she saw a huge wolf running beside them, but before she could get a closer look it would disappear.
"Are there any wolves in the forest, Kath?" Asked Allie when they were unloading the bags. When her aunt heard what she asked she got a funny luck on her face and answered,
"Yes there may be a few but don't worry they don't harm anyone. They protect La Push according to our legends; we've never had any trouble with them. Why do you ask?"
"Oh I could have sworn one was running beside us the whole way here, there quite big aren't they?" questioned Allie. To this, her aunt laughed. Walking into the first floor apartment, Allie smiled. It was perfect. When she had first bought it she had given Kath some money and asked her to buy some furniture so when she got there it wouldn't be empty. Her aunt had out done herself. The living room had a very homely feel to it as her aunt had hung a variety of family photos on the walls. It wasn't very big, but it was perfect for her.
"Thank you so much! I love it, the colours are perfect. This couch is so comfy!" Allie laughed as she sat down on the soft, beige couch next to her. The walls had been painted a nice brown colour that fit in with the town's woodsy feel. Allie knew she was going to like it here.
