Prologue: I don't know what told me to come back to Washington. Was it the people that I used to know or was it the woman that made me leave in the first place. I didn't know leaving New York was going to be this hard. New York was my home, ever since my dad and I left this horrid place. My mother found someone new when her and my father were having some marriage problems. Once he found out she cheated on him, he grabbed his and my stuff and left without even saying goodbye. Ever since my father took me, I haven't seen my so called 'mother', until today.

Rated: T

Characters: [Emmett, OC] and Canon Character pairing

Looking outside from the foggy taxi window, I could barely see the small yellow house that I lived in years ago. Seeing the house brought back memories that I hoped and maybe even thought I would forget. My mother was nowhere to be found yet, probably still in the house finding a place for her new China. Looking at the cab driver, I gave him the amount I owed him, and got out of the grimy vehicle. Going to his trunk, I took out the only two bags that I brought with me, my toiletry bag and a bag for clothing, that I couldn't live without. I would have brought more, but my closet is full of summer clothing...Washington isn't meant for that kind of gear. Lifting the bags off the floor, I walked to the front door and paused. Should I really go back into this unknown house and get attached once again, or should I call my dad and tell him that I just wasn't ready to face her yet. Before I could make a decision on what I needed to do, a girl came to the door. She didn't look like my mother, nor did she look like anyone's mother.

"May I help you?" The mystery girl said, impolitely might I add. She didn't seem to like me coming to her door, she seemed very...what's the word. Oh yea, Rude.

"Well yes you may, I'm looking for Sarah Sidment." The rude young lady gave me a weird look and turned her head. I guess she was looking for my mother, maybe putting two and two together, I don't know. However, I guess Sarah heard my voice because there she was, the lady that we left a couple years ago. She hadn't aged a bit, except maybe for some hair which had turned a little grey.

She looked at me and smiled. I didn't want to be the rude, so I gave her a small smile back, I really really didn't want to be here. This wasn't my home, I felt like a total stranger here.

"Hi Mom." I couldn't help but look down while talking to her. It didn't feel right calling her my mother, but the smile on her face told me she thought otherwise.

"Hi Raven." Even hearing her say my name felt different. I haven't heard her voice in over five years. "You've gotten so big since I've seen you last." I sighed after hearing that. The guilt came on, full blast. My father thought it was best that we didn't stay in touch with her, until I was ready, of course. He would always say that, and to this day I would tell him that I still wasn't ready.

"Yeah, I'm 17 now I would hope I'd gotten taller." Totally forgetting about the girl that opened the door, I saw her through my preferably vision, getting a alright glacé at the girl. Her mouth was still a little ajar and she was looking at me like I was some mystery that needed to be solved. My mother then finally gave her attention and let out a small snort.

"How can I forget, Raven this is your sister, Maria." Oh great she has a new boyfriend or worse a husband. " Maria was adopted, she needed a family so I gave her one." Oh so she doesn't have a husband or a boyfriend. Good, because I would have flipped. It would be very weird to have to live with some guy, when I don't even know my own mother. Instead of saying Hello to this 'Maria' I just waved. It seemed like the appropriate thing to do, but being the rude person she is, she huffed out a puff of air and walked away. Well she seems nice (can you note the sarcasm).

"Why don't you come in?" I thought she would never ask. I took my stuff and walked inside of the house. Looking around I noticed that it hasn't changed a bit here. Everything is the same, except there are no more photos of her and my father on the wall. They have been replace with pictures of her and this Maria girl; however, the photos of her and I are were still hanging up on the wall. Looking at those photos made me feel guilty, even though I tried to forget her, she didn't try to forget me.

"Your room is the same it was when you left, except I tried to modernize it for you." She gave a smile my way and then walked away, giving me some time to think about all that has happened in the little time that I was here. Taking my bags upstairs, I find the room that looks and feels so familiar, yet so foreign. Looking around the room I see that my mother was right, everything was the same way I left it. From the bed sheets not being made, to the hamster, that to my surprise is still alive. Going over to the bed I fixed up the sheets and laid on the now made bed. This room is the part that I missed the most, I don't think I could miss something so much.

Looking around was the only thing that I could do, everything that I saw brought memories back that I didn't want to remember, but remembering was the only thing that I could do at a time like this. Looking over at my bags, I saw that they were still at the door. Not having the motive to get up at the moment, I decided to get it in the morning. I curled up in a tight buddle with my blanket and fell into a dreamless sleep.
