About Ember Emma Olivia Taylor.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~

I'm a 14 year old teenage girl from a, basically, ghost town called Dalhousie, New Brunswick. It has a population of maybe, 1000 people. It's so small, everyone knows each other. It's so small, everything is closing. Which is causing everyone to loose their jobs and move. But, some people just try to get a job in Québec or, our 'town neighbour', Campbellton. Campbellton is basically a small 'city'(It's not a big enough town to be called a city).

I live with my grand-parents (my dad's parents) and my sister, Amy. They take care of us since my mother, Andy, was abusif to me because of drugs and alcohol. Although, she went to rehab for 7 months in 2006 and in 2005, she delivered my first baby brother, Kyle. Kyle's dad is out of the picture since he is literally sick in the head somewhere and he hurt my mother several times. She now refuses to let him near Kyle. Whilst in rehab, Kyle stayed at my mother's parents home. To this day, she is on well-fare and jobless, but working on getting back on track for her life.

As my dad, Rick, he has been in a relationship with Charlotte since 2004 and she delivered my other baby brother, Logan. My 'step-mom', for some reason, says that there are already too many people in the house + our dog, Benji, and kinda kicked us out. She is a real b*tch to me, so I kinda moved to my grand-parents.

I go to a small school, and I'm in 8th grade, and graduating to go to High School in a couple of months. And let's just say, I don't have much experience with guys, or being in the 'popular crowd'. I have HUGE stage fright and get nervous just doing a presentation in front of the class... But if I talk to someone popular, I will most likely make them laugh, and they might say that I'm 'cool', or I'm 'funny'. But they just...nevermind.

So, that's basically my life's story.

•Ember's POV•

4th of April, 2007

What a typical Saturday afternoon. I'm just sitting in my small living room watching Shrek on Teletoon while I could be out in the sun in this beautiful weather.. Screw it, I have all summer to go out and 'play'.

While I was concentrating on my movie, I heard a some noise outside, but didn't make anything of it.

After a few minutes, I kinda got angry and paused Shrek. I took a peek outside from my front porch. To the house on my left, I saw two U-Haul trucks.

I heard a man yelling; ''BACK. A LITTLE MORE. TO THE LEFT. YOU GOT IT!''

I red-headed man was in the middle of street giving the truck driver directions to drive backwards in the drive-way.

I rolled my eyes and went in the kitchen to get something to eat.

I searched everywhere in the pantry's and twice in the refrigerator, there was absolutely nothing to eat! So, I decided to use the coffee maker and make myself a coffee, even though I don't drink coffee, I decided to give it a try.

I looked inside the bread box, and there were bagels. Hallelujah! I cut a bagel in half and threw it in the toaster and got my creme cheese spread out.

All of a sudden, I heard the lock for our back door turn and click;

''Hey, Ember! What are you cooking? It smell delicious!'' My sister Amy says sitting down at the table playing her Game Boy.

''A bagel, want half?'' I said pouring milk in my coffee.

''Sure, no creme cheese, please!'' She replied.
