Well this was unexpected... and a bit awkward.
" Stina? Why are you here?" Paul asked from the corner of our couch. Well thanks Paul. First him and Jared forget my birthday and now they make me feel unwanted.
I sigh "First off, i live here and second, I just got back from work hence why i'm home at 9:00 P.M." While me and Paul are talking, i notice the other people in my house just watching us conversate.
"Oh! Please excuse me for being rude! Hi, i'm Christina. Paul and Jared's little sister." The first one to step up is obviously the oldest and most likely the leader of their group. Its funny, they remind me of the tribal warriors from the old legends my Mom and Grandparents used to tell us when me, Paul, and Jared were little. (Jared used to sleep over all the time.)
"Hello. My name is Sam Uley and this is my girlfriend Emily Young." He gestured to the woman sitting next to him and stook his hand out for me to shake.
I grasped his hand in my own, noticing that he is as warm as Paul and Jared, and let go after a quick shake. I then turned to the woman and smiled. The scars that covered half of her face didn't even faze me, in my eyes she is a very beautiful woman.
"Ooh, hello dear. It is so finally nice to meet you! Paul and Jared always talk about you saying things like 'She's an awesome sister' or always bragging about how beautiful you are. They were right! You are soo gorgeous! Paul! Jared! Why did't you bring her to the bonfire last weekend?" Wow she is nice, but she can talk a lot.(not that its a bad thing.)
"Okay Em i think the poor girl has had enough" Sam said while covering her mouth with his hand.
"Anyways, come give your brothers a hug squirt" Jared said, breaking the silence. I rolled my eyes at his childish behavior but went to hug them anyways. I squeezed them both tightly, missing hugging them everyday.
"So are you going to introduce us or are you going to ignore us like we're not even here?" a voice asked. Blushing slightly embarressed, i turn around to say hi to everybody else. As soon as i saw the three boys sitting together on my couch i stand there shocked.
"Quil Ateara? Embry Call? Jacob Black?" Jacob stood up and started towards me
"And here i thought you forgot about us" smirking before pulling me into a big bear hug soon followed by Quil and Embry." I smile at each of them before looking at the four others who i didn't recognize.
This time Paul stepped in to introduce the rest. "Stina this is Brady Fuller, Collin Littlesea, Leah Clearwater, and her brother Seth Clearwater." I smiled at each of them and looked at each of they're faces.
As soon as i looked into Seth's eyes, i felt a connection or something weird happen to me. It was like i was now attached to him. As for him, he looked as if he were seeing the sun for the first time. He didn't blink, smile, or possibly breath. He just kept staring at me. I looked away from his gaze and looked to Paul and Jared for help, but when i saw them, they were shaking violently. Worried, i went to sit in between them and held onto one of their hands, stopping the shaking instantly. I turned to look at the others faces and saw shock written all over their faces.
"Are you guys okay?" I ask my brothers. They still looked mad but when they turned to me, their faces soften.
"We're okay Munchkin. We just gotta talk to Seth for a moment, okay?" I just nod my head as they both drag Seth out the front door, him still staring at me.
"While my brothers and seth were gone, we all just sat there, talking and not to mention me, Quil, Embry, and Jacob were catching up with eachother.
That what you get
when you let your heart win
WHOA! I drown out all my
senses with the sound of its beating
I smile hearing my best friends ringtone telling me she is calling. I answer the phone on the last ring to annoy her
"Hello?" and then all i hear is her screaming
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVELY SISTER SINCE SECOND GRADE!" I started laughing when she started singing and yelling non sense on the phone.
"Jasmine!" I yelled trying to get her attention
"Jasmine!" I tried yet again but still failed.
"JASMINE ELIZABETH MARIE NEWTON!" I screamed through the phone. Finally she quieted down so i could talk.
"Thankyou for the happy birthday and my now deaf ear." I declared.
"Sorry bout that. I'm just so jittery cause its your birthday. Oh and also, what did you do today for your birthday? You didn't even come to school so i assumed Jared and Paul took you out to Seattle or Port Angeles. Am i right?" I sighed and played with the button of my coat while answering her question.
"Umm your not exactly correct about what i did today. I actually had to go to work early around 7:00 and actually just got home about an hour ago."
"And Jared and Paul didn't get you anything or make you something or whatever?" I sighed sadly while hiding my face so they don't see the sadness in my eyes
"No. Jared and Paul actually didn't even remember my birthday was today. The first thing Paul said when i got home was 'Stina? Why are you here?' Its okay though, my birthdays not even that important anyways. Shoot, i didn't even celebrate it." Obviously mad Jasmine ranted
"They didn't remember they're little sister's birthday! The little sister that works two jobs and still tries to manage a 4.0GPA with straight A's to make them proud? The one that would sacrifice everything to make them happy?" By this point, i had already excused myself from the room and out to the front yard and was already sitting on the porch swing, looking into the moonlight. After her rant all she said was "i'm coming over. I'll be there in 10 minutes." then hung up the phone.
I sigh again and just sit their, thinking about all the times her and her brothers would have so much fun watching movies and playing games like tag with me when i was younger. Then everything went downhill when my brother moved in with Jared and his parents. Leaving me with nobody to lean on at home.
The summer he moved, he had started to become really buff and always had a high temperature of about 105. It would always scare me when he would start shaking out of anger. Everytime he started shaking, i would take his hand in mine and rub circles on it until he cooled down. Then i remember one day he just couldn't control it and ran into the woods. I cried out for him to come back but al he did was turn to look at me and mouth the word 'sorry' then ran. I didn't see him for days after that. About three days later, he came back home only wearing a pair of cut-off jeans and covered in dirt. I didn't care that he was filthy, or stunk of rotting wood. All i did when i saw him was run up to him and hug him.
He looked down at me and said "Stina, i'm sorry i left like that. but i have to tell you something."
I looked up at him and gave him a confused look. He sighed sadly and a bit teary
"Baby girl, i'm moving in with Jared closer to La Push High. I have to move closer because of school and some other important stuff, okay?"
All i did that day was cry telling him that he was leaving me. So that night i slept with him in his room so that i would remember every bit of detail about him. I was only six when he moved out. My mom always tried to sooth me but i kept telling her that i wanted my brother back. Me and Paul would talk on the phone everynight before i went to sleep for about six months before he stopped calling and answering my calls. So i finally gave up. A year later on my 7th birthday, my mom had asked me what i wanted to go with my cake and i said ice cream. So after we cut my cake, We went to get an ice cream cone in Forks. I was truly happy. So once we got home i went running inside the house, my mom chasing me trying to tickle me. The thing was that we hadn't noticed that the back door had been open when we arrived. So i hid in the bottom cabinet in our kitchen from my mom, i had left it open a crack so i could scare her. But the thing i didn't expect was for a man with a ski mask on to come into the kitchen surprising my mom. He had a knife to her throat and had told her to strip of all fer clothes. He then had raped her repeatedly. I was sickened at the sight and was crying silently, so that the man wouldn't find me. Though the next thing he did had surprised, shocked, and scared me. He leaned forward, towards my moms throat, and bit into it sucking the life out of her. Once he was done with her, he had left through the back door not even hiding the body that was once my mom. All i remember after that were sirens blaring and police coming into my home to find a six year old cradling her mothers drained body sobbing uncontrollably.
Review please! :D
