Chapter 2: Meeting the New Neighbors…

After many hours on the highway, Amy fell asleep. When she awoke, they were pulling into their new town. She looked out the passenger's window and saw a sign that said:

'Welcome to Cameron, North Carolina. Population 151.

-Home of the Union Pines Panthers-'

"Is this our new town?"

"Well, good morning sunshine. You've been asleep for sometime now. Yes, this will be our new home."

"It looks pretty small. I like our old town better. We're out in no man's land!"

"You haven't even given it a chance. I know you miss our old town, but this is our new home. And the whole point is to move somewhere your father can't find us."

That was the first time her mother has referred to her father as her 'father'. Amy told her mother after the hospital to never call him her father ever again. Ms. Dumas agreed, she said that if they ever needed to speak about him, the would use his middle name, Patrick. The topic of Patrick almost never came up. Amy and Ms. Dumas wanted to put those days behind them in an attempt to forget about what he did.

The rest of the car ride to their new house was in silence. Neither one dared to speak for fear of fighting.

"I think this is the place, 180 Charles Road."

"It looks like a hick's house!" (Author's Note: Sorry!)

"Oh Amy! Don't say that around here. With some new paint, those bushes taken out, and some flowers. This place will look great."

Amy sighed, "I guess so."

'I don't like it here. The town is probably filled with a bunch of old fat man with toothless, overall wearing country boys for sons. And ugly women with beards.'

"Lets get the car unpacked and then figure out what to do for food and all that jazz."

"Alright. I get first pick of the bedrooms!" Amy said trying to make herself excited about the new house.

At the Next Door Neighbor's House-

Two brothers were playing basketball in their driveway.

"He shoots and he scores!"

"Hey, Matt I think that new family at the Chadwick's house just got here." said the younger brother. He was around 5'11'' and slightly muscular in a skinny way. His hair was dyed vibrant colors.

"Hmm, I guess that is good. I wonder who is moving in." said the older brother. He looked completely different than his younger brother. Matt had jet black hair that was pulled back into a low ponytail. His eyes were a deep chocolate brown, while his brother's were a sea blue. He stood at 6' with broad shoulders. You could tell her took great care of his body and worked out.

"I wonder if there will be any kids our age. That would be fun. Then we could have someone else to go on adventures with."

As his brother continued, Matt had already tuned him out. For her spotted the bright red head moving boxes out of her SUV.

"Matt? Yo Matt? Do you hear me talking?"

"Shut up Jeff. She's going to hear you." Matt whisper back to his loud brother.

"Who is going to hear me? What are you talking about? Matt I'm still talking to you!"

Once again Matt was paying no attention to Jeff.

"MATTTTTT!" Jeff screamed as loud as he could.

Amy turned around and looked in the direction of the scream. She saw someone duck behind the bushes that separated their yards. There was only one thing she could make out, which was something with multi-colored hair. Being the curious girl she is, Amy placed the box at the steps of her house and moved towards the colorful person.

"Haha Matt, she is coming over here."

"WHAT!" Matt jumped out of the bushes just as Amy past him.

"AHH!" Amy screamed and leaped back in fear. She didn't notice that there was a tree branch and fell backward, landing with a boom.

Matt blushed when he saw what he caused, "I am so sorry. I didn't know you were really that close. Can I help you up?" Matt asked the fallen redhead. Amy was embarrassed, red hair half in her face and mud on her legs and butt, she accepted Matt's extending hand.

'Great, I see a pretty girl, I make her fall, and make myself look like an idiot.'

'Wow, is he strong. He picked me up with such ease. He sure isn't bad looking. I hope he doesn't notice I'm looking him up and down. I must say I am a sucker for a guy in loose hanging baggy jeans and a black shirt that shows off his muscles. Maybe Cameron isn't filled with toothless, over-all wearing country boys.'

"I'm sorry, I'm Amy Dumas by the way. I just moved in next door, but I think you figured that out already."

'Not even 5 minutes and you've already made an ass out of yourself. First the mud and now what you just said.'

"Matt Hardy and that guy over there is my brother, Jeff." Jeff waved back. He managed to get a "Hi" out of his mouth through all of the laughing.

"I'm sorry I caused all of this," Matt continued, "I didn't mean to startle you."

"Oh, don't worry about it. I fall all the time." She brushed back the hair out of her face and the mud off .

'I must look like a mess!'

Matt laughed, "I know the feeling."

"Do you fall more than you cause people to fall?"

'Maybe that was a bit harsh. I don't know where that sudden blurb came from, but here I go making an ass out of myself, again. I guess it works for me more or less. Hopefully he wont get pissed.'

Matt looked away from her. "No, it just happens like it happens."

"You know I was totally joking. Don't take things so seriously, man. Loosen up." Amy paused, "I'm sorry, I'm normally not like this."

"Wow, I like you already! Matt will never loosen up. I've been working on him for years." Jeff said stepping next to his brother.

"Well, like I said before, I am normally not like this, but hey when it comes I go with it. Maybe now that I will be living here he might change."

"Maybe by that time you come up with a better joke." Matt tried to say in his most serious voice, but a smirk crawled to his mouth.

"I seem to be doing my job already." Amy and Jeff laughed, while Matt tried to look tough and keep his pride intact. "I should get going. My mom needs help. I guess I will see you guys around." Her slender body turned towards her house, she whipped her head around, her long red hair swirled around her neck, "I'm glad I meet you guys. Bye Bye."

'Whoa, she is rather pretty. And I must of looked like an ass after saying what I did.'

"Hey, Amy? Why don't you stop by tomorrow. We'll be here at some point or just ring the bell. I think Matt and I would be more than happy to show you around Cameron. If you would like only." Jeff said intensely looking at Amy. He could feel his brother's eyes growing with anticipation for her answer.

"Cool, I guess I will see you both tomorrow." She continued walking towards her house and grabbed the box she had left.

"Dude, you so like her!"

"I do not and I'm going to kill you!" Matt started chasing his baby brother.

Once he grabbed Jeff, Jeff quickly replied, "I did get her to agree to come over tomorrow. I figured you would like that." He's face read forgiveness, but his eyes read mischief. Matt knew he was up to something, yet he let Jeff go and walked back into the house.

Both Matt and Amy thought to themselves-- 'I can't wait until tomorrow!'

Please R&R…Hope you like this chapter. There is more to come if you review. Any ideas about where I should take the story…let me know!
