Starting Over : Luke Hemmings fanfiction

Chapter 1

Bella's P.O.V

We were on our way to the airport. My grandparents were driving us, in their van. My grandparents are the closest to a parent figure to my brothers and I. They truly are the only family we have in our lives right now.

Growing up we didn't have the easiest childhood. We always had to work on something weather that be chores or homework or even jobs. Our mum didn't have a job to pay for bills because she used anymore she had for drugs.

We never really had the best of parent figures. That's why we came to American to have a fresh start. But that didn't really go much to plan.

I was just sitting in the back with my twin brother Ashton, were both 17 and little brother Colton who is only 8.

It was really awkward no one was talking at all. Because no one knew what to say after that night.

That horrible night.

But what we had decided would be best for our futures would be to get away from this town. And not bring up what happened and to start over. Or at lease go back to our old town with a new start.

And Ashton was just listening to music and drumming on his legs like he always does. He's wearing the beanie I got him years ago and dark jeans wearing his black hoodie and white converse.

Colton was sleeping in the seat behind me he was just wearing his baseball sweatshirt and jeans and sneakers .

I was just listening to Tonight by Seether on my iPhone 6 with the beats head phones that I got from my mum on my 15th birthday. I was wearing my light wash jeans and a black lace sleeveless shirt with a white cardigan.

I just can't believe this happened again. The images play back into my head over and over. Of my mother and stepfather getting into that physical fight.

All I remember was waking up from the loud screaming and running downstairs to stop whatever the heck they were doing.

When I ran downstairs Ashton was running right behind me and I started yelling and Ashton had to pull me behind him and try to separate them. I went over to the stairs and saw Colton standing there about to cry.

I went and stood in front of Colton and he moved to the side of me and grabbed the side of my leg watching the scene in front of us.

The neighbors heard the commotion and they had called the police. The police came in right alway and pulled them apart. They grabbed my brothers and I and put us into the back of police vehicle . We ended up being separated from our mother and stepfather that's night . We were sent to our grandparents.

We stayed a month there we had to live there we weren't allowed to go back to see mum.

Ashton and I had to get jobs to help pay. Ashton and I would switch day and night shifts, because we had to Colton still.

On top of all that we had to go to school full time.

It wasn't until four months later when Ashton had the idea that we needed to start over and go back home. Even if that meant facing old memories such as our dad.

Ashton's now the main person to take charge after that what had happened. He watches over us. He truly is a good brother, but he does have a small temper. Ashton has always been the one I go to for help.

Colton was to young to understand. Colton ever sense that night he doesn't talk much to anyone but ashton and I . Colton never really talked to anyone, but him seeing what happened he just like shut down. Colton just has to stay with us and everything would be ok. No matter what we will never be separated Colton, Ashton , and I.

On our way to the airport I tried to sleep. But I couldn't knowing that we haven't seen our father until he walks out on us when we were just 7.

That was when we moved to America. That was the year my mother got a divorce with him. It was also the year my mum was pregnant with Colton from my father . My mother had gotten full custody over us. That's when she moved here to America.

I think Ashton knows what I'm thinking because he sitting across from me in the van, and has been making eye contact with me but hasn't said anything.

I feel like he's just afraid to say something in front of our grandparents and Colton . So he just texted me saying Hey everything will be okay.I look over at him and gave him a small smile then he replied with the most fake smile I've seen .

I just lean back and look out the window. I trace the rain droplets falling down the window.

Just as I'm drifting off the the sound of my music on my phone. Colton shakes me and says "Bell...were here," I look out the window to see the airport sign.
