AN: Hello all my fan fiction readers! Welcome to dun, dun, dun Chapter 3! I thought that this one rounded up quit nicely. I worked on it all school day when I was supposed to be listening. I rarely do that, lol. I hope you like this Chappy. I didn't get as much reviews as I wanted to on the last Chapter. Can we try to get more reviews this Chapter, please? I want at least four. That's not hard to ask. I take Constrictive Criticism! And if anyone knows of a good beta, please, let me know. I really need one. I wanna thank my reviewers:
Kikiki: Thanks. I try to be as unique as I can. If something looks the same as others, I didn't do that on purpose. I'm no idea thief. If I do steal something I always give credit. But that's highly unlikely of me to steal an idea. Enjoy!
Lightfan117: Thanks so much. I hope you enjoy this Chapter! I enjoyed writing it. J
Continue: I really want to have more then two reviews this time. So please try and review if you've read it. I also take story followings and author followings. They also are in the category. So yeah. I'm done chanting now. Enjoy the Chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, Stephanie Meyer does. I only own my characters, plot and whatever else I come up with.
Happily Ever After.
Chapter 3: Trouble and Abandonment.
When Kayla neared my house I new automatically that something was wrong. I heard no shouting from the house, the lights were off and no cars were in the driveway. I scowled to myself, greatly annoyed. It's the first day of Summer break and they leave me without any hint that they were going on vacation. I new they were bad parents and all, but I didn't think they would stoop as low as to leave me here alone. Alone seemed to be the word of the year! I grumbled.
"Great! They went on vacation without me! That's super!" I growled in a sarcastic tone. I just wanted to strangle my parents. It's a wonder that I'm still alive!
"Maybe they went to the grocery store?" Kayla suggested nonchalantly.
I rolled my eyes at her, "Pleeeease! Look at the facts! They can't take care of a teenager! They beat me every fuckin' day and they don't even feed me! The only meal I get is at lunch and when I feel like going to a damn restaurant to eat!" I screeched, laying my head down on the window of the car. I was beginning to get a headache, and when I get a headache I get lightheaded. "I don't know any nice family that will let me live with them," I hissed through clenched teeth.
Jazmine looked at me with sympathy. I hated when people looked at me with sympathy. It was like I was something that needed to be pitied. I could look after myself! Sixteen Is old enough! Right? "Our Aunt would probably look after you," Jazmine blurted out all of a sudden. "Of 'course, until you were eighteen," She added with a shrug.
I thought about it for a minute. I wondered if her Aunt would remember me. The last time I saw her was when I was seven. I didn't see her any then because my parents were rude and obnoxious. From what I remembered, she was nice and sweet - a lot different from my family. All the family I new were on my mother's side, and none of the family I new were very nice. Not that my dad's side of the family was any better, but I only met my grouchy grandmother and grumpy bit of a grandfather. I see were he got his not-likeliness from, and his brother Tanner. I had a feeling I was one of the rare nice people in my family.
"So…?" Jaz prompted, jumping me out of my reverie. I looked over at her and smiled.
"Sure," I agreed, nodding my head. Kayla grinned and started her engine again. She had turned it off when I was ranting so that she wouldn't run out of gas. Then, my head snapped up, "What about my clothes?" I complained, looking back at the house before we left.
"You can barrow some of mine! Then, we can go on a shopping spree! It's been a while since I've been in a mall!" Kayla chimed while I grunted. I hated shopping. But I had to buy some clothes because there was no way I was getting into my house.
We drove in silence. I was too mad to talk much anyways. How dare they? Just leave a kid stranded alone? I had a part-time job, but it wouldn't help me make a living. Maybe I could ask for a small raise. I shook my head. My boss wouldn't give me a raise. The more I thought, the more my headache grew. I groaned, rubbing my forehead.
"Ana? You alright?" Kayla asked with a voice full of concern and worry.
I nodded my head, "Just one of my headaches," I murmured, offering a weak smile. It faded as my head started to get worse. I searched through my purse and grabbed out my Tylenol. Grabbing my spare water bottle from my book bag, I took two pills. I place the Tylenol back in my purse and let out a dramatic sigh, "I hate my headaches," I groaned.
"My Aunt is a nurse on the res. Maybe she can take a look at you?" Kayla suggested. I quickly admonished that idea, shaking my head no vigorously. Then, my eyes snapped open.
"You mean to tell me she lives in La Push?" I asked skeptically. Kayla nodded her head.
"Our cousin Seth lives there too. She had a daughter named Leah, but she moved in with her husband," She told me. I nodded my head.
"This Seth. Is he around my age?" I asked curiously. I never had another kid living with me. You would've thought me spoiled, but I'm exactly the opposite.
"He's fifteen," She answered, probably reading my mind, "He's very bubbly. Talkative. You'll get tired of him easily probably. He doesn't shut-up most the time. Either way, he's one of my favorite cousins," Kayla smiled.
I laughed, "You act like he's your boyfriend," I teased, poking her sides.
"What? Eww, no. He's my cousin!" Kayla cried out. But then she grinned, "Although, he has some hotties as friends," She slurred with a giggle. I swatted at her and rolled my eyes. "You might like him," She told me with a smug grin.
I rolled my eyes, "You would say that," I teased with another roll of the eyes, "You know I don't like guys that quickly," I reminded her.
She rolled her eyes, "Unless it's Jacob," She chirped and I glared at her with my all famous death-glare. We pulled outside a blue cabin. They lived outside of a forest and had a backyard. I could like this… I thought to myself.
We got out of the car and walked to the door of the cabin. Kayla knocked on the door and a, "I'm coming" sounded at the door. I looked at Kayla and she shrugged. The door flung open and a lady with long blonde hair stood at the doorway. She was skinny and had freckles on her face. She smiled, "Makayla, Jazzy. Welcome. Come in, come in!" The women greeted, ushering us inside. She turned to me with a frown, "Who's this?" She asked, rubbing her temple. I should've guessed she wouldn't remember me, I was only seven when she last saw me.
"Aunt Sue, this is our friend Analee Phillips. You remember her, don't you? She used to hang out with us all the time," Kayla introduced with a half-hearted smile.
Sue gasped, "Analee? My, my, how you've grown. Come, come, come. Sit down," She welcome me. I smiled, following Sue to the living room. "Sit down, anywhere you like. I'll make some lemonade," She offered and disappeared into the kitchen. I looked at Kayla and Jazmine and they just shrugged. Five minutes later, Sue comes back, carrying a picture of Lemonade in her hands, "Children, sit down. You look exhausted," She commented. It was true. I was exhausted. Mostly peeved, but exhausted. My stress headache had wore me plum out. We sat down, me and Jazmine on one couch and Sue and Kayla on the other. "Now, why have you children visited me?" She asked, pouring her a glass of Lemonade and handing it to Kayla.
Jazmine spoke this time, in a timid voice, "Ana needs a place to stay… Her parents left her alone. She thinks they went on vacation or something without her," She explained with a heavy sigh.
Sue looked at me with a shocked face, "Awwww, you poor thing!" She cooed. I mentally groaned - not out loud, of 'course - but in my head. "Of 'course you can stay! Your practically family!" Aunt Sue agreed and I smiled, "I bet Leah's clothes can fit you…" She murmured in a sad voice. I saw her eyes cloud for a second then return to it's normal happiness. "I have a room for you upstairs! You can decorate it any way you want!" She promised. Wow, my own room? I slept in the basement. It wasn't very cozy, and I slept on the floor with just a blanket I had bought with my money. I smiled to myself. She was going all the way to make me feel welcome here. I was glad, because no ones ever done that for me before.
"Thank you very much!" I chirped happily. I did something rare that day. I hugged her. She was surprised at first, then she relaxed and hugged me back.
"Your welcome," She murmured in my ear, "I always help a friend in need…"
