Fifteen years later...
I looked up at the ceiling, I couldn't sleep not even my brothers snoring was helping me sleep. I turned my head to the side looking at the alarm clock, the red numbers shined brightly at me, straining my eyes. I blinked twice to read normally, 4:00. Great, I only slept for three hours and thirty minutes. I know I'm going to start school at eight but I'm not that excited. People are always looking at my brothers, only talking to me because my sister is pretty, and popular. Or they just want my brothers' number, does it make sense that my mom teaches at a complete opposite school from me? Every year I beg her to go to Forks High but she won't let me for some reason she won't tell me. Instead of laying here maybe I should take a shower. I got up and wrapped a towel around me and went to the bathroom. I jumped in the shower letting the cold water pour down on my pale skin. The water was turning warm as I rinsed my hair and my body. I stepped out of the shower wrapping a blue towel around my head. Going back to my room I heard my brothers muffling softly in their sleep. I lay out my gray jeans and a striped long sleeved shirt, with a black jacket to go over it. I put on a plain white tee shirt then I slipped on the black, gray long sleeved shirt, v neck. I pulled up my jeans and zipped it up. I look into the mirror and look at my eyes. My eyes always stood out they where the color of caramel so sweet but lonely. My hair was the color bronze and some people even asked my mom if a guy named Edward was my father. I always asked who this "Edward" was but she always looked in my eyes with sadness, not the person I knew who I hear laugh, but a complete stranger. Her eyes seemed off she put on a smile when she didn't answer but I knew it bugged her because when the person asked she winced. This was not my mom, not my fathers wife, it's like she has a complete other life, or once had another life without my dad. I shuddered and thought about if my mom gave some thought into sending me to Forks High. I lay on the bed when I realized my mom and dad were in the kitchen. I got up looked at the alarm clock and read 7:25. Wow! Surprising the time flew by fast and I didn't even realize it! I opened the door and walked in the kitchen, and smelled the strong, good smell. The sweet alluring smell hypnotized me as I was walking into the kitchen, letting the "Forks High" issue drop. I was really hungry, my stomach was making a loud growling noise which mad my dad chuckle. Mom was coking omelets today!
"Hey Dad!" I gave him a small kiss on the cheek
"Hey Mom! It sure does smell good in here," I also gave her a kiss on the cheek as she smiled at my compliment.
I sat at the table pouring orange juice hold the pulp and some toast. I looked up and saw my mom nod at my father. I grew anxious wondering if they considered the thought of me going to Forks.
"Annabelle honey, me and your mom decided to let you attend Forks," I got up knocking the chair over and gave my dad's warm body a hug. I desperately wanted to eat and taste the greasy, sizzling bacon. I stared at the omelet intensely, okay maybe I shouldn't have skipped lunch and dinner. My mom put one porcelain finger up, "Your grandfather and I talked, I decided that you should live there for a little while, because my dad, your grandfather is a little lonely, but you have to be on your best behavior, and get good grades, or else," I nodded and hugged her nearly knocking her down I could tell she was smiling and she stroke my hair, resting her head on my head. My mom and I were alike unlike my sister, we are so alike, but yet so different. I gave a small yelp of joy and carefully walked to my room making sure I don't trip.
"MOM! I CANT FIND MY PINK BLOUSE HAVE YOU SEEN IT?"
My sister of course, oh and here comes my brother, great!
"OH! Did you mean that one shirt you always wear but in different colors, oh besides black?"
I know where this is heading.
"Yeah, have you seen it?"
"Yep, I put it in the wash with the dark colors so maybe it could turn black since you don't have that color," He gave the widest smile ever and for a second I thought Makenna was going to kill David.
"YOU DID WHAT? NOW WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR? I DON'T WANT TO LOOK GOTHIC!"
Oh God! I know exactly what he is going to say; "Well don't you have all the other colors?" His smile grew bigger by the second.
"UGH!" She stomped away slamming her door. He turned to me and we both cracked up. David and I always joked around we were close to each other and people mistake us as fraternal twins then Makenna and Jacob B.
"Good morning Ana!"
"Morning! Guess where I'm going?"
"Forks. Grandpas house?"
"Um how did you know?"
"Mom and dad told me,"
"Oh, well I'm glad I get to see grandpa!"
"Exciting. Well I'm off to school see you later!"
"Bye!" I gave him a quick high five and walked to my room. I always hoped this moment would happen so I already packed. I know I am a complete freak! I took my time packing things I haven't packed yet. I knew I was going to drive to grandpas today and start school tomorrow. I got into my mom's ancient car and we drove silently to grandpa's. We pulled up and I walked into grandpas arms wrapping my arms around him. I let go and he hugged my mom, he picked up two suitcases, and walked into a small room with a window and a rocking chair with a small quilt on the bed. As he catches his breath his face turning into a normal shade as he was before, my mom went up slowly with the other blue suitcase and gave me a small hug , " This was my old room, but remember what I said, also remember we are just a phone call ahead," I nodded and gave her one quick kiss. I watched her curiously as she walked to the window and opened it; she was inhaling and exhaling the cool breeze and I swear I saw a tear, and a flash of bronze like hair. I shook my head and looked up, " I'm tired I think Im going to go to bed, goodnight!"
My mom and Charlie gave me one last hug, and then left the room silently shutting the door. I went to the window and watched as my mom drove off in the dead silence slowly she vanished into the dark mist.
