Chapter 2: Starlight

"So does anybody want to tell me how the flight went? My eldest brother, Rhys, asked. We had been sitting in the car for about ten minutes now and not one person had spoke. It was weird. Usually Heath and Luke had plenty to say.

"How do you think it went? It was 16 hours sitting on a plane. We got lunch, dinner and a very early breakfast, which I slept through and am now starving. How far away from the house are we?" Luke's voice sounded tired and bored, describing exactly how I felt.

"Twenty minutes, tops."

"Well if you drove over 30 k we could get there in ten." Heath murmured quietly, so I (sitting beside him) was the only one who could hear. I smiled. It was true. Rhys believed in setting a good example, even when he was off duty.

"Does it rain like this all the time here?" I finally asked the question that had been playing on my mind since we got here.

"It doesn't rain all the time." It was his emphasis on the word all that worried me.

From the front passenger seat, Luke snorted. "Yeah it does. I looked it up on the web. It rains a LOT. And when it doesn't, you're not exactly guaranteed sunshine either."

Heath and I groaned simultaneously. I love the sun! And hot days! And if it rains like this constantly, I'm going to FREEZE!

"Oh come on guys! Have a little enthusiasm! It might rain but there's some lovely scenery out here! And there's a Quillette reservation not to far away. They have some beautiful beaches."

"Rhys, we're from Australia. The country has some of the best beaches in the world. Their version of beautiful and our version of beautiful are probably very different. I'm betting they're nothing like Bronte."

"Don't be a snob Heath. I've been to First beach and it is nice."

Nice. Define nice.

"But we used to walk to the beach. Now we're gonna have to drive for miles!"Luke whined. I nodded in agreement. Swimming at the beach had to be one of my favourite past times.

"Guys! Can you just stop complaining for once? I know that this is hard for you and it's going to be a big change but I believe it is the best option! It's hard on me too. I didn't exactly ask to become the sole guardian of three sixteen year old teenagers but that's the way it happened! Now you are going to live here for the foreseeable future, like it or not. When you turn eighteen, you can live where ever you want but for now you live with me. Just please don't make this any harder than it already is."

Through the whole rant, Rhys had stared out the window, trying not to single anyone out. It didn't work though. I still felt attacked. This was hard on him? He didn't have to move away from his home, leave his school, his friends, half his belongings behind and start again!

Once again, there was silence in the car. Not able to bear it any longer, I pulled my I-pod from my pocket and unraveled the headphones. Putting both in my ears, I set it to shuffle, closed my eyes and waited for the first song to come on.

Far away, this ship is taking me far away. Far away from my memories, of all the people who care if I live or die.

So damn ironic...

References:

"Nothing like Bronte" Bronte is a real beach in Sydney, Australia and one of my favourites. Look it up on Google images, it's beautiful.

"Far away…." These are the first few lyrics of "Starlight" which the chapter is named after. It's sung by Muse.

Thanks for reading and please review! ^.^
