"Memory is not what the heart desires. That is only a mirror."
Jessie's thoughts:
It's been months since the accident and yet nothings gotten better,
nothings changed they're still gone..
Jackie still hates me along with my uncle.Isolated.
alone.
restless.destroyed.
That is how I feel no-one to talk too,
no-one to help me out of this hell.Jessie's pov:
The flight was horrendous on the way to Calgary a screaming baby was going to be the death of me I was certain of it.
Jackie still hadn't talked to me since we left New York but I didn't mind I excepted the fact she despised me I just didn't understand why she did.
I've done nothing wrong to her.
Once we had landed we walked over to baggage claim to get our luggage when Jackie had gotten a call from
Uncle Richard.Jackie's pov:
I hated her.Despised her.
Loathed her.
We had arrived in Calgary and I was not excited I knew I wasn't going to like it here.
it's nothing like New York.
The schools aren't the same,
the people, the lifestyle.I had gotten my luggage from the baggage claim when Uncle Richard called I clicked the answer button while watching Jessie walk off.
Thank god I thought to myself.
I stood talking to Uncle Richard for what seemed like only minutes:
"How was the flight sweetie?"
He said while moving different papers
into piles"It was okay I guess Jessie is really getting on my nerves walking round like she's better than me it's pathetic"
I said whilst looking for her"Just ignore her, she's a head case there's no point in trying with her anymore, have you seen the Walter's yet?"
He said whilst smiling
"Yeah they're just coming into the airport now so I'll have to go I'm afraid"
glancing up to see the Walter parents walking towards me.
"That's fine sweetie I love you"
"I love you too uncle Richard"
I said hanging up on him.
Jessie's pov:
It was very clear Jackie and uncle Richard were talking about me and I was in no mood to listen to it so I wandered off looking through various shops seeing a few things I liked and picking a gift for Katherine and George as a thank you for taking me in.
Wandering back I saw them talking to Jackie so I sucked in a deep breath and continued on hoping Jackie hadn't said anything horrid about me.
"Jessie!"
Katherine yelled as we made eye contact, she came rushing towards me outstretching her arms and coming in for a hug.
I didn't decline and hugged her tightly glad someone seemed to care that I was here.
"Hey Kath how have you been?"
I said slowly pulling from the hug
"I've been better glad you and Jackie are here though"
dropping her hands to the side before turning back around and declaring it's time for us to head off.
The drive was long and bumpy we must of been driving for about half an hour.
The sun was beaming in the car windows casting a beautiful light on the scenery.
It was truly breathtaking,
all the shades of greenish/brownish clashing together with the golden light of the sun.Snapping out of my daze I looked over to see what Jackie was doing,
she had her head hanging low staring at the news report of our parents and sisters passing.Anger and sadness burning in her dark eyes making them almost orangey brown
She swiped off the news report and continued playing her music now looking out the window.I decided to do the same trying to enjoy the scenery and peace before we got there.
Finally I was the road come to an eye a large house sat in the middle of nowhere fields and trees covered the wide area,
horses scattered in different paddocks.The car came to a halt as I stepped out.
This is my new home
My new life
And it was beautiful
