Song chapter:
When it all falls apart
The veronicas
I pushed open the front door, and headed for the kitchen
"Mum?" I called she wasn't in the kitchen
"In my room" she called from upstairs
I walked slowly up the stairs and headed into her room
"Mum what are you doing?" she was sitting on the floor folding clothes into a suitcase.
"They need me to work on a case in Washington" she said zipping the bag shut and standing up.
"oh, I can stay at Emma's for as long as I need to her family loves me" I said excited
A couple of moths staying at Emma's are going to be so much fun
"No darling, iv arranged for you to stay with Sam in Washington" she said patting my head and walking downstairs
"What?" Washington! I can't go to Washington, even worse I can't go to forks it rains 24/7 how the hell am I meant to hide being a mermaid if it freaking rains all the time?!
"Mum its fine can stay here!" I said frantic
"But you haven't seen Sam since you were 4 Ali. It will be good for you"
"I… I can't go!" I was freaking out I can't go to forks!
"and why not?" she asked putting her hands on her hips looking at me with one eyebrow raised.
"I would be leaving my life, my friends, my school! You have dragged me from Seattle to New Zealand and then we came here and I felt I found somewhere I belong! A PLACE WHERE I CAN BE ME!" I shouted I was mad and upset
"I'm sorry Aleeya but it's not up for discussion and after this case blows over I promise you can come back. I have to leave tonight, so I need you to stay at one of the girls and they are going to have to take you to the airport tomorrow"
I stood there shocked for a few minutes, not moving
"I suggest you go get packed and call one of the girls to figure out where you're going to stay, because I have to be out of here by 3"
I glanced at the clock hanging above the counter in the kitchen, it was already 11
I ran upstairs and into my room shutting and locking the door, I pulled out my phone and dialled Cleo's number, she answered on the second ring
"Hello?"
"Hey Cleo it's me" I was fighting to keep back the tears that wear threatening to spill out
"Hey Ali, are you okay you sound upset" Cleo now sounded worried
Cleo could always tell when something was wrong
"I'm moving" I said not bothering to hide back the tears anymore
"What? Why? When? Where!" Cleo asked in a rush
"My mum got called back into the CIA and she is sending me to my step brothers home, I leave tomorrow" I said getting up and pulling out my suitcase from under the bed
"Oh Ali, everything will be okay its only for a little while, where are you going?" she asked trying to comfort me
"Forks Washington" I started throwing clothes into the bag
"Wait you're going to live in forks, Ali you can't go to forks it rains there every day!"
"I know but I think it will be okay I've been practising with my powers and I've gotten better at stoping water from getting on me"
But I knew that with the kind of downpours that they have in forks this was going to be hopeless, everyone is going to find out my secret and they will ship me of to some crazy scientist where they will probably make me try to talk to fish and run all kinds of creepy tests.
"Hey can we all stay at yours tonight, my mum leaves at 3 and I have nowhere to go?" I asked
"We can't stay here; my dad is being a jerk. I'll call Emma and get back to you" and with that she hung up.
I huffed and walked over to my shelves and got out all the books I can't live without, which included; twilight, house of night, vampire academy.
In less than two hours I had managed to pack everything into 3 suit cases and 2 bags.
I sat on my floor and looked at my empty room, thinking of all the great moments I've had in this room, like the day I found out I was a mermaid.
I walked into my room and flopped down on the bed, last night was so stressful.
First I decided it was nice to go for a nice walk along the beach, with the water being too hard to resist I jumped in and swam out as far as I dared, and with my luck I was pulled out to deeper ocean by a rip the waves where crashing all over me causing me to swallow water and have no air. I felt myself begin to sink under the surface; the last thing I saw was inky blackness of the sea then 3 orange objects.
I woke up on what I assumed was the beach and just figured I had washed up.
When I stood up and looked around I didn't see people or buildings instead I saw thick jungle, where the hell was I ?!
I reached into my pocket for my phone only to realize how stupid I was; of course my phone wouldn't work it was soaked with sea water.
I hadn't lived here for more than a week yet so I figured I was still on the gold coast I decided to explore and see if I could find anyone…
The moon was full so it wasn't hard to see. I had gone deep into the jungle and was now standing near a waterfall on some rocks. I gazed up at the moon and took in its comforting glow. I took a step back and slipped on the rocks and fell.
Landing painfully on my butt, I groaned and searched my surroundings; it looked like I was in some kind of cave.
I noticed a soft blue glow coming from the left of the cave.
Letting my curiosity take over, I followed the strange glow through the cave.
I came out into a bigger cave with a pool; I looked up to see the open night sky and the edge of the moon coming overhead.
I soon realized it was the inside of a volcano.
As the moon rose over head the most amazing and strange thing happen, the pool started to bubble up like a spa and small gold bubbles started to rise up out of the water.
I didn't know what came over me but I suddenly longed to be in the water.
Without a second thought I jumped in
The water was soothing and cool. My legs oddly started to tingle. But the whole time I couldn't take my eyes of the moon.
The pool died down as the moon moved away.
I regretfully climbed out of the pool as the water was suddenly cold.
"what the hell are you doing here?!" a guy standing at the cave entrance, scaring the bejeebus out of me.
"I fell down here, why are you here?" I asked
His um'ed and ah'ed running a hand through his sandy blonde hair.
"I um come here sometimes, to um think about… things" he stuttered.
"Right" I totally did not believe him something was up.
I later learned his name was Lewis and that I was actually on an island called mako.
We managed to get out and he gave me a ride back to the mainland and took me home. When we stopped at my house he asked me
"Did you go in the water when the moon was overhead?"
"No" I lied; I had just met this kid. Sure he had been nice and taken me home but I wasn't about to tell him about that amazing experience.
"okay, well ill catch you later" he said.
Mum wasn't too mad by the time I got home it was only 10:30 at night.
I just lied and said I had made some friends and we were down at the beach.
That morning when I woke up I went straight for the bathtub.
I put my hand in the water to make sure it was the right temperature.
And ten seconds later I was on the floor looking at what was my legs and was now a long orange tail.
I laughed at the thought of that day. And remembered finding Lewis and telling him I had gone in the water and learning that his friends Emma Cleo and Rikki were also mermaids.
My phone buzzed, I flipped it open to read the text it was Cleo.
We are all staying at Emma's tonight xx Cleo
Okay be there soon xo Ali
I shut the phone and got up of the bed to change my clothes.
I slipped into a light blue tank top and a pair of dark blue denim shorts.
"Ali we have to go now or I'll miss my flight" mum called from downstairs.
I dragged all my bags down stairs and pilled them into the car.
I sat in the car as mum drove me the short distance to Emma's.
Emma and Cleo where already standing out the front when I pulled up, they took my bags inside and left me to say goodbye to my mum.
"You're going to need warmer clothes up there so here" she said handing me a roll of $50 notes
"Mum?!" I said trying to give her back the money
"No. you will need it" she said
She pulled me into a tight hug.
"Be careful mum"
"and you too my dear"
She pulled back and kissed me on the forehead.
"I love you" she said trying to blink back tears.
"Love you too" I whispered.
Mum slid back into the car, and waved goodbye
Emma and Cleo came up beside me taking my hands in theirs.
Mum pulled out of Emma's drive way and drove of down the street.
"We need a swim" Cleo said
