Tw's up ahead.
────
I've always given much thought to death, more precisely how I would die, but I never expected it would be like this.
────

I was on the plain towards a new opportunity, a new home or so the lady said. I didn't believe much of what she said.

She's a social worker, that's what they're supposed to say. It's always the same few lines. I've been through this so much it's become a routine.

I was on my way to Forks. I was supposed to live with this guy named Charlie. He was a single 50 year something guy. Apparently he's the Sheriff of this small town in the middle of nowhere in California.

I let out a sigh as I turned up the volume of my headphones and looked outside at the clouds. I wonder what it's like when you fall to your death. Would it be painful? Would you feel terror and then just black abyss nothingness?

The plain had landed before I even knew it. I must've spaced off again. I got off the plain and the social worker lady followed me closely behind to make sure I don't run off.

After getting out of the control. We saw a man in a Sherif gimmick waiting for us. He had a black crusty moustache, slick black hair covered with his police cowboy hat.

"Hi you must be Charlie this is Jisung, Jisung Han."

"Han Jisung." I muttered.

She clasped her hands together. "Right Korean custom thingy. Anyways I wish you both the best of luck. If you need anything, ring me." She said and walked away to god knows where.

Charlie stood their awkward as hell. "Um... right so, let me take your bag."

Charlie was a man of few words. That was a good thing about him. I didn't like to talk anyways. "So um, I got you a car as you're gonna need it to get to school."

My eyes widened. "You trust me with a car?"

He briefly glanced at me. "Yes Jisung. I trust you'll do what's best for your future. This is your final chance otherwise it's going to be something that is not gonna be good for you like juvy or a crackpot teenage home."

I looked down. "All I ask is that you go to school and try."

I just answered with a nod. Charlie was right, I knew that yet I hated how he was.

Charlie pulled up the driveway of a modern yet a bit old looking house. Next to his police cruiser that he just parked stood a black pretty looking car.

"That's yours." He said as we got out of the car. "Holy shit, it is? Thanks Charlie." I smiled at him to which he nodded.

-

Once I unpacked my stuff which wasn't a whole lot to begin with. I roamed the hall as I was kinda hungry. I came across a lot of old pictures of a happy family.

I was envious in a way. This girl had it all, loving parents. "That's Bella. She lives with her mom in Phoenix."

"Oh." Not so happy family after all. "Yeah, um go get ready, we're going out for dinner."

I just nodded and went back to my room to get my beaten down phone and earplugs. I plugged them in as I past Charlie down the stairs.

-

We were in this cute little diner, it had this cosy feeling to it. Charlie had ordered a hamburger with fries and some vegetables.

I just ordered a plate of fries and some ketchup not really in the mood for any meat tonight.

He kept trying to strike up a conversation with me and I kept giving him one worded replies. I think he got the memo that I did not want to talk as he stopped trying.

-

"Have a good one chief!" The lady of the diner said as he handed her the cash as we had finished our food.

"Thanks you too Joanne." He gave her a gentle smile, his moustache going upwards with the movement.

We gotten back into the car and he started the engine.

"Look Jisung I'm really trying here. But it's not going to work if you don't give me any effort back. I want this work because I believe you're a good kid, so show me I'm not wrong."

That little speech was so untypical Charlie but I nodded nevertheless. He was kinda right, I just don't trust him and I don't trust the system.

I glanced out the window as we pass many trees. This place is literally surrounded by nothing but nature.
