chapter one




My mother’s brother was driving us to the airport. It was 40 degrees and my mother was crying insanely up in the front seat. I and my two other siblings were crammed into the backseat, our body heat keeping us warm. Our breaths visible when we breathe out and our windows fogged up. Once we get there my twin brother and little sister climb out slowly not wanting to go out in the cold. She pulls me into a hug and I can feel her sobs as I put my arms around her. “You call me when you land in New Jersey okay?” I close my eyes from keeping the tears in. “okay mom” I can hear her sigh and pulls away hugging my brother and sister. She kisses my forehead once more before getting back inot the car and leaving. I stare at the retreating minivan, my mom’s head out of the window waving until out of sight distance. I take a deep breath and turn around to look at my twin brother Sebastian and my little 10 year old sister Shaya “Let’s go” we each grab our carryon bag and walk into the airport.
Getting off the plane I grab Shayas hand walking down the escalator. We walk over to the doors with our small suitcases; our things were already driving here, to wait for my dad. After a few minutes of getting pushed and yelled at for being in the way, my dad finally drove up in his jeep. I look down at shaya who is peeling off her jacket with the heat. Seattle was freezing compared to this heat. “Hi!” I hear my dad’s voice full of excitement. I look up and paste a huge smile on my face. “Hi dad!” I look down to shara and Sebastian. “We err... We missed you!” I can tell that he’s relived by the way his tense shoulders relax a little. He was expecting three quiet depressed kids who hate him. We stand there in a moment of awkward silence, Sebastian shuffling from foot to foot and shara tugging on my dress. “So, um dad how’s Meredith?” He picks up shaya and mine suitcase and starts walking. “Oh she’s fine, excited to see you guys and meet shaya.” I look down at shara who is staring at my dad’s retreating back with wide eyes. Her green eyes full of wonder and hate. I grab her fragile small hand and we walk after him to the car. I help her climb the car and then Sebastian without saying a word climbs behind her to the back seat, plugging his headphones into his ears. “Okay” I mutter. I walk around the car and sit down in the front seat, the air conditioner on and the cold air hitting my face, fells refreshing after standing there in the heat. Sitting back I close my eyes and keep my hands folded in my lap. “So how’s school melody?” I open my eyes slowly, exhaustion closing them. “Oh, um school, good.” I hear him sigh and after that the whole ride to his house was quit and rather peaceful. About an hour later we pass a little town. A small sign poking out form a bush reads:
WELCOME TO UPPER SADDLE RIVER.
I sit up and stare out of my window to the small town we pass. It’s a small peaceful town surrounded by trees. Soon we drive down a road that leads to mountain sides and then curves and curves. The road on either side has houses up on the grass, trees decorating every front yard. We turn onto a small hill street and we start driving up. Once were level we turn left and there I find us on a small street 6 houses on either sides of the road and a dead end curve stopping at a small river. Kids are taking home to the sidewalk and parents over watch them from porches smiling and calling over neighbors. My father waves to a few unknown parents and says hello to some kids before driving up two houses and turning right to a huge driveway. He drives all the way up the drive and parks the car outside of the garage. I open my door slowly letting my feet touch the ground before standing up complete, the house in front of me struck me in awe and I can’t stop staring. The house in front of me was a bug two story wood cabin house. A porch that looped around the entire house, and on the second floor in the back there was a balcony that overlooked the river. I hear a small chucke. “She fell asleep.” I turn my gaze from the enormous house and to my dad who was carrying shara in his arms while still managing to hold three suitcases. Shaya looking dark skinned compared to his overly pale skin. Well im not surprised. This place may be hot but sun sure doesn’t pass by too much with all these trees. Sebastian has his small carry on and is frowning. I pull Sebastian’s arm. “Listen up buddy. I don’t want to be here either but we had to move in with him because of reasons mom wouldn’t tell us. He is your father and even though they got divorced and he moved that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you. Okay now wipe that frown off your face. Were supposed to start fresh here. Stop being depressed and start our life. Please make this easier for all of us!” He looks into my eyes and cracks a small smile at my attempt puppy face. “Alright. But once he starts talking about the whole marriage im tunnnig him out.” I smile. “Thanks. You know shaya won’t be happy till she sees you happy.” He shrugs. “Yeah, I guess. This house is totally awesome.” I tore my gaze off his face and onto the house looming over us. “Yeah. I know. Awesome doesn’t even start it.” Walking up the wood stairs to the front door I squeeze my brother’s hand slightly before stepping into my new home.
Stepping inside, you first see a living room, walls made of windows. A piano in the corner of the room along with two guitars. Long couches with two side seats face the fireplace, which was beside two wall bookshelves. Surprising thing though, the photos on the bookshelves were photos of all of us. Sebastian and shaya. Me. Photos since third grade when we were born. Mom must have been sending photos. I look to my left and there was a door, leading somewhere. Two glass double doors leading to a dining room and then the kitchen. Turning around I look to my left and see a hallway, leading to a bedroom. The master bedroom I guess by the way it was decorated. Walking down the little hallway leading back to the front doors I stare at the photos. All of them are us. I walk back out and am tempted to go up or down the wood stairs descending but I hear a voice call me from the kitchen. Walking across the wood floor I walk into the kitchen to find Sebastian and shara sitting eating chips at a table, my dad sitting watching them. “Oooh, uh hi Meredith!” she looks up. “Oh hello baby girl! How are you doing? Come here and give me a hug!” her southern drawl making some of her words hard to understand I nod and she pulls me into a deep hug, filled with her perfume and her long nails clawing at my back. After pulling back she holds my shoulders. “Well aren’t you beautiful. Look at how grown up you are! You want something to eat? Yo need some meat on those bones!” I smile. “Um, no thank you, I was actually hoping to go unpack and adventure the house a bit, and then put shaya down for her nap.” She smiles. Her eyes bright and mysterious. “No problem pumpkins. Your room is upstairs and shaya is upstairs next to yours and then Sebastian is across the hall form shaya.” I smile. “Thank you.” Turning to shara I grab her hand and walk her up the stairs. Opening the first door I notice it’s all blue so it must be Sebastian’s room and then the next room, coming to a bright pink room, shara name written on the wall next to her bed. She yawns and I lay her on her bed seeing her eyes close I turn around and close her door. I walk to the door next to hers and open it revealing a light green room. The far wall had two doors revealing to the little white balcony. Look out to the river I turn around and close the doors behind me. The room had a bed in the corner, black and white and green bedspread and pillows decorate the bed. The desk next to it had a small green lamp, the light shining on a photo of my brother and sister and I, the first time we visited my dad’s brother in Florida last year. Turning my gaze I look at the book shelf and fireplace. The small TV mounted on the wall. Walking to the two doors, I open one to find a small bathroom green white and black decorating everything. Opening door number two I open my closet. I walk into the small closet and I stand there puzzled because I never remember unpacking. My clothing is all hanging on one side of the closet my shoes on the floor underneath it. Shelves built into the other wall hold my folded clothing. A full body mirror on the wall. I walk out of the small closet felling claustrophobic. I close the door behind me before turning around. Taking a deep breath I walk across the room and open my door, stepping out to the hallway I walk downstairs and instead of stopping on the first floor I keep going to the bottom floor. Another living area with a TV and a small fireplace. Couches and chairs decorating. Sliding doors leading to the back yard and to the small reviser were I see small canoes tied up. I turn and walks down a small hallway I open the first double doors to a room. This room only had a piano in the middle of it, the window taking up the whole wall behind it. Book shelves surround every wall left and books ands picture frames take home on those bookshelves. Resisting the urge to go play the piano I close the doors and keep walking down the hallway, opening the next two doors, only finding two guest rooms. An office a bathroom and then another bedroom I turn around and walk back upstairs dazed at how big this house was. Walking up the stairs I hear Sebastian’s laugh followed by merideths. Walking into to the kitchen I hear them talking, dad outside on the porch/balcony. “Oh hello melody! You want some diner? Ill heats it up!” I smile shaking my head. “Oh um no thank you. I was just coming down to tell you all im gonna head to sleep. Tired of traveling.” I smile and she smiles back. This woman just keeps on smiling and smiling! “Well if you need anything were here.” I nod and walk upstairs; changing into some shorts and a t shirt I climb into the
