Broken Bridge

1

Each summer me and my two sisters Aurora and Willow go to great granddad's island. He isn't around anymore and since grandpapa was an only child, he inherited it. Then he got married to grannie and had four children. Aunt Carol, Aunt Massie, Aunt Autumn, and of course, mom. Mom had Willow first then me and my sister Aurora a year after. I'm a couple months older than Aurora though. The four houses that were made for my aunts and my mom had different names. Carnation was Massie's house, Hyacinth was Carol's, Orchid was Autumn's, and Broken Bridge was mom's. It was far off from the flower names of the others but, that's what mom wanted to name it. Aunt Carol had one girl named Cassie who was a year younger than me and Willow. Aunt Massie's kids were Olive and Jack. Olive and Jack were twins and the same age as me and Willow. Aunt Autumn had a boy named Leo who was my age and a girl named Rose who was two years younger than me and a brat. Grandpapa had a house up on the hill over looking the sea and the houses. You could see the whole island from up there. Me, Willow, and Aurora are still in high school and Olive and Jack go to the same school as us. They're the only cousins we see in person until summer. At school Aurora's really popular. And when she's at school, she stops acting like she's related to me, Willow, and the twins. Even though she's kinda a brat, Rose is worse. Much, much, worse. And now, I'm here to tell you the story of how I almost died and can't even remember why. But all I know, is Rose is the one who tried to do it.
