And Please Review (:
As we drove through La Push I could see clearly how beautiful it was, everywhere you looked screamed life and nature I mean if you're into that sort of thing, I'm not but I can still appreciate it.
We passed quite a few small house's that were neatly tucked into the forests and then we also passed streets full of house's it seemed as though La Push was full of surprises I thought it would be like a derelict ghost town of some sorts, I was happy to say I was wrong for once.
"Nearly there now Sky." Embry said.
We drove fore another minute or two when Embry slowed the car and pulled into the drive of a cute looking house that was both part of the street but was slightly more into the forest than the others and it felt secluded, I liked the house immediately it was going to be my home from now on so its just as well I like it I guess.
As I got out the truck no sooner had my heel landed on the ground my Aunt Helen tackled me in a tight hug my face pressed into her hair because of my shoes I was taller than her now. It was weird I had missed her so much but, seeing her just then with her black hair up in a high messy bun her face looking as young as ever and the figure that would make you think she never had kids, it was as though I hadn't seen her in a week not five years!
"Oh Sky baby, it's so good to have you here we've missed you so much." She said as she released me.
She then took in my appearance and her smile faltered ever so slightly but she recovered quickly but I could still see the shock in her eyes she glanced at Embry and then back at me, Embry, Jake, Quil and Seth then took some of my things and carried them into the house. The moving crate had already turned up before me so they were unloading from that, I looked in a thought shit I never knew I had that much stuff.
"Well you've changed a lot in appearance Sky." Helen said.
"I know but this is me now Auntie Helen, I am this way now, I've grown up." I said meeting her gaze.
"I understand that Sky but we need to talk about your behaviour I don't want any problems from you okay? I understand that there are some issues that obviously we need to talk about and trust me Sky when I say me and Embry will be with you every step of the way and you can always come and talk to me whenever you want okay?" Helen said tears forming in her eyes.
"I know you are, I'm not going to just stop being me though I've been this way fro three years now, and it's me I won't cause trouble for you because I care far too much about you, but please can we just not talk about it now can I like see my room and get settled, I know we have to talk eventually but I really don't want to." I said.
"Okay Sky but we will talk eventually." She told me and I knew we would talk because I really needed it, I didn't care about a lot of things but I did care about Auntie Helen and Embry but I didn't want to be good either because that wasn't me anymore I am so confused right now!
Aunt Helen lead me inside and showed me around the house it was a two story and on the first floor there was a corridor from the front door that had four doors off it and obviously the stairs; kitchen dining and living room with a bathroom off the main corridor I was pleased to see that everything was modern but homey at the same time. Upstairs there were three bedrooms and two bathrooms; I was told that I would be sharing with Helen seen as Embry was a guy after all and if we both needed to get ready then Embry ad to give his bathroom to me. I laughed at this as did Seth, Quil, Jake and Embry who had joined the tour and were pointing out things in the house I would have never noticed at first glance like; pictures of Embry growing up and through the stages of his childhood I was surprised how many pictures of me there were laughing with Embry and a school one for every year but I realised there were none of me since I had changed.
When I was show my room I loved it straight away it. It had plain walls, a bay window that looked out towards the forest and it had a big king-size bed with a dark red silk bedspread, mine of course from England AHHH I even had my same duvet! The rest of the room was just filled with boxes well I better get unpacking then.
"I need to start unpacking but I think I'm gonna take a walk first if you like don't mind?" I asked Helen.
"Well I'll start unpacking for you but don't be too long dinner is soon make sure you take your phone and you don't know your way round so make sure you don't go far okay?" she asked.
"Thank you so much I'll only be like 5 10 minutes and my phones in my bag." I said.
I walked downstairs and could hear the others following I picked up my bag from the table by the door where I had left it and put my heels back on.
"Sky your not really going for a walk in them are you?" Quil asked.
"What my shoes? Of course." I told him.
"Well I don't give a shit about the shoes but can you please put some more clothes on not only are you going to freeze to death but the entire street will be watching you!" Embry said.
"If they want to look who am I to stop them?" I asked as I walked out the door and shut it in their faces laughing.
I walked down the street remembering everything in case I did get lost. Embry was right people who were just doing gardening threw me looks of shock and some old dude all out stared at me in disgust I laughed it all off they needed to come to the real world where people like me where everywhere but I guess that's what you get from a small town. I walked along the sidewalk and took out a cigarette I was quite stressed about the whole situation everything was new and everything was going to change again. I sat down on a bench crossing my legs.
I took a long soothing drag of the cigarette when a group of boys came round the corner, they were the average height for a teenage guy of seventeen maybe eighteen they looked like the stereotypical jocks, the footballers. There were four of them walking and as soon as they saw me their faces lit up it was quite comical actually, they then carried on walking and stopped in front of me one of them took out a pack of cigarettes took one out.
"Got a light there darling?" he asked smiling cheekily.
"Sure let me just get it from my bag." I said, this guy was majorly fit with light brown hair that was spiked in a disarray he had strong features and an extremely tight t-shirt on to show his muscles but they were no where near as impressive as Embry, Jake, Quil and even Seth's muscles but I guess he would have to do. I had left my lighter in my bag which was on the floor so I reached down to get it my boobs even more on show, one guy whistled but I pretended not to hear I got my lighter out and handed it over he light it up and handed it back keeping hold of my hand I raised my eyebrows at him.
"So what's your name then?" he asked.
"Well you tell me yours and I might consider telling you mine." I told him with a flirtatious smile I also removed me hand from his and stood up facing him taking another drag of the cigarette.
"You sound English. You just moved here?" he asked.
"Sorry didn't catch your name." I said.
His friends snickered at my obvious refusal to give information.
"Luke." He held his hand out.
"Nice to meet you Luke." I said shaking his hand.
"Like I said before you sound English you just moved here." He assumed this time.
"You know you ask a lot of questions." I told him tilting my head slightly to the side.
"And your not very good at answering them." He countered.
I made an agreeing noise and nodded my head.
"You go La Push High I take it? And from the looks of things junior? Senior?" I asked.
"Now who's asking the questions?" he asked laughing.
I stayed silent waiting for an answer looking at him with that flirtatious smile still, it wouldn't take him long to crack.
"We're all senior's and yeah we go La Push High you starting there tomorrow then?" he cracked wow hadn't even counted to ten this guy was easy, way too easy.
I took another pull off my cigarette letting the feel of smoke pass through me comfortingly.
"Nope." I said laughing at their expressions.
"You in college then?" Luke asked.
"Naaa I will be going to La Push High at some point, guess you'll just have to keep an eye out for me." I winked and went to walk back the way I came when Luke came to stand in front of me I raised my eyebrows in question.
"So you're not going to even tell me when you're starting?" he asked.
I shook my head smirking.
"Fine then but here take this and give me a call if you want to be shown around the area or if you want to let me know when you're starting." Luke said handing me a slip of paper with a number on it.
"We'll see how lucky you are." I told him and walked away his friends laughing.
"Sorry but I what did you say your name was again?" he called after me.
I didn't even turn around when I shouted back "I didn't." I herd all of his friends laughing and saying things like "Mate she's got you hooked already." And "Did you see her body, wouldn't catch me turning her down."
I ignored the cat calls about how if I didn't want Luke to show me around they would I just carried on walking.
When I got back to the house Embry, Jake, Quil and Seth were all sitting in the front room watching some film. As I closed the front door all four heads snapped to my direction and their noses twitched ever so slightly that I couldn't be sure I hadn't imagined it.
"Wanna come watch the rest of this with us?" Embry asked.
It looked familiar so if I watched it I wouldn't be too lost.
"Yeah sure." I said I took my jacket off and hung it up buy the front door.
"So how was your walk?" Embry asked as I sat in the small space between him and Jake I put my bag down on the floor by my feet and tucked my feet up under me.
"Yeah it was alright met some people." I said nonchalantly.
"Oh yeah? And who are these people catch a name or anything like that?" Embry asked sarcastically.
"Well I only got one of the names of one of them." I said.
"Yeah and who was she?" Embry asked putting emphasis on the she.
"Oh his name was Luke and I got a number, he said to give him a ring if I wanted to be shown round or when I was finally starting at La Push High." I said.
"Please tell me it wasn't Luke Kelly." Embry sighed.
"Well I didn't get a surname but ermmm… he was tall, not as tall as any of you, kinda muscled but not much its emphasised by the way too tight t-shirt and light brown hair arrogant smile, quite a push over when he wants something, any of that ring a bell about Luke Kelly?" I asked.
They all laughed.
"Yeah that's him, I bet the other dicks where there with him as well. But seriously what do you mean by 'quite a push over when he wants something'? Or do I not want to know?" Embry asked.
"By the other dicks I take it you mean all the guys that were with him yeah they were there but they kept quite most of the time anyway. And as for 'quite a push over when he wants something' he kept asking me questions like my name, was I English, like seriously no shit Sherlock! And then he was asking if I'd moved to the area and was I starting at La Push High I didn't really answer any then I asked him a few things and he didn't reply so I just looked at him and waited and after a few seconds he caved and told me his name and that he's a senior and then as I went to leave he gave me his number as you know and then when he asked what I said my name was I told him I didn't then all the dicks laughed and were all 'arrrrrrrrrrrr' you know how they get I take it and were like shouting stuff after me but I couldn't be arsed to get into an argument with them so I just left it." I told him.
"I like the 'I didn't' line when he asked what you said it was bet he didn't like being ignored virtually by a girl." Jake laughed.
"He seemed to get over it quickly, it was him who said something about my legs I think." I mused.
"What did he say?" Embry demanded.
"Oh I can't remember but come on Embry you know I'm not that much of a push over just because a guy knows a few smooth lines doesn't mean he's in, he defiantly has some work to do if he wants even a chance. Beside's he wasn't exactly the fittest guy around if you know what I mean and he seemed like quite a douche I mean seriously he can't even smoke right he lit it up but didn't even take ONE drag on it!" I exclaimed.
They just laughed at my little rant.
"Yeah I know that your not going to fall for the shitty lines you've herd them too many times already." Embry said a patronising look on his face.
"Well if you look at it from my point of view at least now I can tell which ones are just flirting and the ones that want something and the ones who pretend they want something but wouldn't really do anything, they are so annoying them ones." I laughed.
"And you know all that just by how a guy talks to you?" Seth asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Well go on then tell us." Quil said.
"Nope you guys should know exactly what you mean." I said shaking my head.
"Fair enough." Jake laughed.
"Well done for not even denying it." I said to him.
They all laughed.
"So are you sure you have to go to school tomorrow Embry? Can't you just stay home with me?" I asked him.
"Nope, mum won't let me and besides you'll be fine by yourself you do your own thing most of time anyway." He said.
"Yeah I guess I think I'm gonna have a duvet day, watch telly all day and eat all the ice-cream." I said happily.
"You could go to Emily's and get to know her, she's Sam's finance and we spend a lot of time with them so you could get to know her she's been excited to meet you." Quil said.
"I suppose would she mind if I take my night-stuff and camped out in her front room watching telly all day?" I asked.
"You know what Sky you'll have plenty of time to get to know them all. I think you should just stay here all day because your going to have jet-lag soon enough. Plus mum's going to be home tomorrow you can have a catch up or whatever you girls do." Embry said.
"As much ass I love Aunt Helen she wants to talk to me about my 'behaviour' and all that stuff you know I don't wanna talk about that shit!" I said.
Embry put his arm round me.
"Sky I know that but you need to stop I can even smell the smoke on you from here, you need to sort it out." Embry said.
"Yeah I know but not just yet." I said sneakily.
"Oh yeah and why not just yet?" Embry asked.
"Because there are way to many opportunities here." I said.
"Like what exactly?" Embry asked looking at me.
"Well this is who I am now Embry yeah I was someone different before but I changed I grew up this is me and I don't plan on changing and I'm not as bad as they've made me out to be." I said.
"Sky we spoke about this in the car, change will be good this time, and me and mum don't really believe everything your parents sais about you I mean I spoke to you virtually everyday and you told me everything so it's not like I didn't know how it was, they said the same thing but exaggerated maybe just a bit." I gave him a look. "Oaky quite a bit, but still we'll see how things go you never know you might want to change."
"I'm happy now I'm away from them the only reason I even went near those sorts of people was to get away from them and I knew they would most likely send me away from them and look who was right." I told him.
"You could have just asked we would never say no to you living with us. But you're here now, and let's just see how things go okay?" Embry asked.
"Yeah I guess, I'm not going to be a complete horror just gonna be me. And I think I'm going to bed I can feel the jet-lag starting to set in before you mention the time okay?" I said standing up and stretching at which Quil, Jake and Seth looked away because my vest rode up my stomach revealing my pierced belly button.
"Wait Sky what's that on your wrist?" Seth asked pointing to the tattoo on the inside of my right wrist, the outline of a five pointed Star in black in ink.
"It's a tattoo of a star, I'm Sky so I need a star to complete me." I explained.
"That's like really cool, I mean the way you described it, when did you get it?" Seth asked.
"When I was thirteen a friend of mine posed as my guardian and signed for me." I said.
"I herd it hurts there." Seth said.
"Pain doesn't really bother me." I said.
"Yeah so you said in the airport, but do you mean that?" Seth asked.
"Why would I say something I don't mean?" I asked looking at him as though he were stupid I mean why would I lie about something like?
"I was only asking because everyone feels pain." Seth explained.
"I feel it but I choose not to let it bother me." I replied.
"I guess that's one way to look at it." Seth mused.
"Well as I was saying I'm going to bed now because of jet-lag." And I walked off as they all called 'night'.
I changed into my night stuff which was grey sweat pants that went just under my knee where elastic held them in place and a pink sports bra type top but I left my bra on, I don't like not wearing one, I tied my hair up in a messy bun on top of my head and wiped my make-up off, I looked at myself in the mirror I didn't look that different without make-up on but as I said I was only wearing eye make-up really some powder but that all that was on my face.
I went to the bathroom I shared with Aunt Helen and saw that she had put all my toiletries in there; I brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth out.
I went into Aunt Helen's room and saw her sat on top of her covers watching telly she looked up when she herd me come in and motioned for me to join her, I went over and sat next to her.
"You going to bed already?" she asked taking in my attire and frowning slightly at what I was wearing but she made no comment.
"Yeah I can feel the jet-lag setting in and I sleep in till about 12 on normal days so I thought I best get off early." I told her.
"Okay sweetie goodnight and I hope you sleep well. But Sky before you go I want you to know that I'm so happy that you're here with us, I wouldn't have it any other way okay and I know that life's been quite unfair to you these past few years but I will always be here for you and wont judge just like Embry wont, we both love you so very much and I just hope you know that." Helen said.
I was so touched by her words that tears formed in my eyes and started falling freely down my cheek's, she said that she loves me and that Embry does as well! Aunt Helen hugged me tightly to her but after a moment or two I realised that I was sobbing I pulled away and wiped my face she placed her hand against my cheek and looked at me with such love in her eyes that I leaned my face into her palm as she stroked away a few tears.
"Well I'm gonna go get a drink to take to bed with me and say night to Embry and his friends and then I'll go to bed, so I'll see you tomorrow." I said hugging Aunt Helen and then getting up.
I went down to the kitchen and got myself a drink then I went into the front room to say night to them all.
"Sky what are you wearing?" Embry asked a hint of annoyance in his voice for Quil had just turned round to give me a once over, but with him saying this both Jake and Seth turned around to give me a once over as well, Embry glared daggers at them and they all looked back at the telly.
"This is what I sleep in." I replied my voice full of innocence.
"Fine. Goodnight then." Embry said he got up and gave me a hug and kissed my cheek. "See you in the morning. Do you want me to wake you before I go to school?"
I nodded.
"Alright then you can have breakfast with us then go back to bed yeah?" he asked.
I nodded again.
I then walked over to Quil and leaned down to hug him they all seemed a bit shocked by my action but they brushed it off quickly.
"Night Quil." I said.
"Errrr night Sky." He said hugging me back.
I then went and hugged Jake he wasn't hesitant at all and squeezed me tightly.
"See you tomorrow Sky." Jake said as he let me go.
Seth was sitting in the armchair still so I went over and leaned down give him a hug my boobs on show even more Seth's eyes widened then he stared intently at something over my shoulder. I hugged him and said night.
"Yeah night Sky." He murmured.
Jake and Quil were trying to control their laughter at the look Embry was giving Seth.
I shook my head and walked upstairs. I put my drink on my side table turned my side light on and switched the main light off. I climbed into bed under my silk bedspread.
I looked out the window; I hadn't shut the curtains on purpose because I loved to watch the sky at night, I know it seems weird but I have a real connection to my name and I really don't feel complete unless I see the sky at night when I drift off.
Even though it wasn't that late it was still dark outside and the sky was covered with clouds blocking all the stars that were surely shining behind them.
I watched the sky for who knows how long I herd the others in the house laughing and joking but I never bothered to listen to what they were saying.
And then as if it knew I was waiting for it a star became visible through a slight patch of black sky one lone star shined brightly down and just as quickly as it had appeared it disappeared.
Even though everything was all new to me that Star still shined in a way just like me.
I feel asleep soon after wondering if I had been waiting for the star to shine.
After all if I were the Sky I had to be visible for that Star to shine.
So she's met some new people but what do you think about them?
She's got a phone number but Emby doesn't seem tooo pleased about it.
She's still shining (: so things are looking up for her, but what will tomorrow and the weekend hold for her?
Then it's off to school should be fun :L
Please review and let me know what you think (:
