I woke up early in the morning. Saturday, which meant work. I got up reluctantly and opened my cupboard. My eyes widened in surprise when in my cupboard there was a big box i never noticed with a note on top.
I grabbed it and hopped onto bed, bouncing a bit because it was a spring mattress. I opened the simple yet elegant letter that was pasted on top.

To my dearest sister Daniella,

I wanted to give this to you later on but due to well the unexpected plans we had to leave early. Since I have spent my entire life with you, I know you well. And also I spent the last whole month in your room, I realized that some of you were missing in the house. So open the box and complete it.
With love
Viana

In it there were many things which brought tears to my eyes.
The first thing which I took to my hand was the album, there were pictures of me as a kid but most of them were from when I entered my teen years.
I flipped through the pages, my first singing competition, my first day in high school… the last one brought back many memories.
It was when I finally became legally emancipated,
I was wearing jeans and a tank top, my hair was way longer and I wore the brightest smile I ever have in my life, the papers in my hand, made me relive the day all over again.
I let out a sign in content as the box which was full of pictures, CDs and well memories…
I reached into the last item in the box, "OH my gosh" I breathed
I felt the comfortable fabric used to create this beautiful mustard yellow color sun dress. Purple flowers scattered across the dress.

I covered my mouth and travelled back in time to when I first laid eyes on this dress.

"Viana!" my 13-year-old self exclaimed
"Look at this gorgeous dress!" I held up the fabric for 12-year-old viana too see.
"Oh my gosh it is!" she said
"Do you want to buy it?" she asked my younger self
"Yes, but… I don't think Laura would buy it" I said with a sad smile
""Oh"
"But its ok. I'll buy this dress when I'm bigger. And maybe… go down to the beach!" I said already imaging a young adult version of my self-wearing this very dress and I holding on to my brown hat so it wouldn't go away to the wind as my hair scattered every wear making me look lovely.
"Yeah, and get all the boys to run after you" Viana added laughing while wiggling her eyebrows
"What the hell? No, maybe." I said flustered
"Act your age" I said before stomping of, pretty sure cheeks flaming. I heard her melodic laughter.
"Wait up!" she said catching up to me.

I laughed at the memory and found a note stuck on it.
"Go down to the beach ;)" I bit my lip. And I definitely was. But not now I looked at the time and darted to get ready.

My hair was thrown into a messy bun, and I wore a simple green shirt and my high waisted bell bottom jeans. I didn't put makeup on, just mascara and some gloss and I was good to go.
"Dani! Where are you headed to?" I heard Bella.
"Oh, hey Bells, I'm going to Newtons store"
"Oh, we are meeting up there, want a ride?"
"Don't I always?" I chuckled as we drove away from our houses. We drove in silence. Comfortable silence. Sadness overwhelmed me as I remembered Tristan and his crazy car rides. I wish I could call them but the signals been down lately. Sucks to be in this position.
"Hey you, ok?" Bella asked. I immediately blinked away the forming tears
"Y-yeah"
I recognized Mike's suburban and Tyler's Sentra as Bella pulled up next to their vehicles. The entire gang seemed to be there and some people I didn't seem to recognize.
"You came!" Mike exclaimed happily, well duh, she said she would./p
"And d-Dani?" he said almost disappointed, making me feel like unwanted garbage in the process. I felt that way a lot lately.
That's cus you are, Ivy Tara's voice rang through my head. No don't let her get to you.
"I thought you wouldn't come! Changed your mind to see Mikey?" he asked happily, ok maybe he was just shocked. Or maybe he is covering it up. So that I wouldn't be sad
Stop, since when did I over think this much? Calm the fuck down Daniella I said
"Oh. As much as I would have like to say yea but no. I came here since I work here remember" I reminded, a sad smile came over his features but quickly wiped it and looked to Bella.
"Ill see you then, bye guys" I said before I felt insecure for no reason.
Let's start this day! I thought

Work was easier than I expected, less people showed up. Usually, people come shopping on weekends most of the time, I guess not here then.
I heard some laughing coming from the front, customers!
In entered 2 tall tan boys with long silk hair. They sorta looked like Jacob Black.
Leaving them to do their shopping, I sunk back into the chair and started reading the magazine. I couldn't help but sneak glances of them. Both of them acting like children, one was stronger than the other and kept on winning the wrestling matches with the other one, I mean I don't know what they were doing. They just punched each other or pretended I don't know! But whatever they were doing, made them happy which I found I don't know, interesting? Why was my mind so confusing? I concentrated back on my magazine.
I heard a cough and I slowly lowered my magazine and found the boys standing in front of the counter, hands full of marshmallows, brownies, gummy bears…you know all the good stuff which makes your teeth fall off.
I got up and got back to work. My mind couldn't process how they were going to eat all these by themselves, stocking perhaps?
"Woah, you guys going to eat all these by yourselves?" I asked looking up to the boys "No… but we could" the taller one
"You know we are growing boys" the shorter one replied
"Oh well. Good luck with that" I said, my mind trying to figure out how to even conversate with them.
"So, I don't think you guys are from around here?" I asked. Of course, they were not but I didn't know what else to talk about. I started putting their groceries into the bag.
"Nope, we are from the Rez"
"Rez? The Quileute reservation? That's cool" I said.
"Yeah, we haven't seen you around either" the taller one replied.
"Um yeah, I recently moved here, about a month back" I replied.
"OHHH. You are Charlie's new neighbor!" the shorter one exclaimed.
"Yeah, oh. And I'm Daniella by the way but just call me Dani"
""And I'm Embry" the taller one spoke, Embry.
"And I'm Quil" Quil spoke. Quil? The familiar name ran through my mind. Hasn't Charlie spoken about Quil?
"Quil? I thought Quil was… supposed to be um… older?" I said confused.
"Oh no you must be referring to my grandpa, Quil…" he said.
"Ohhhh," I let out a laugh.
"Well we have to get these back to the beach"
"Beach? First beach?" I asked remembering my conversation with Mike.
"Yeah, we are hanging out with some friends" Quil replied.
"Friends as in Mike Newton?" I asked and they shook their head.
"No friends from the rez" they replied.
"Oh, I thought you knew him cus he, Bella and some others are heading down there"
"Bella? Bella swan?" Embry asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah her"
"Jake's going to be excited" Quil said. Jake? Embry rolled his eyes.
"Well, we have to go. See you around Daniella! Bye"
"see ya" I said as they walked away. Boredom overtook my amusement in the Quileute boys. I was practically alone in the entire store.
"I started humming a song to myself while tapping on my cheek. A familiar name came across my mind. Oh my god. How on earth did I forget? Maybe ill call her after I go home and tell her signals were down, plus it rains here all the time so she would buy it, right? I sighed in worry. I turned up the volume of the radio

"I love you baby… and if its quite alright I need you baby… to warm lonely nights…" I listened until my shift was over.
