Wave (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1- A Day At The Beach

The dark greenish, bluish waves seem to motion for me to come closer each time it reaches my toes.

I was sat up in a bluish gray beach chair. My little brother Henry, had dug up a hole under my feet; so when ever the water came close to me I'd have a little pool for my feet.

The summer sun seemed to seep into my pores, making me feel like toast.

I always seemed so pale so I was determined to get a tan. I had put on sunscreen since I have always been easily sunburned. And I don't need or have the time for skin cancer.

Right now you are probably thinking I'm a rich white girl with no problems at all, well except that she is pale as hell and needs a tan. Well, you are totally wrong, it turns out Henry, my little brother, isn't really my brother. Not step, not even blood related, I was just adopted.

I had lived in an orphanage, which are now called homes, that wasn't the best place for a five year old like I was back then. The older kids beat up the smaller ones. Me being one of the small ones, I was always being beat up. The adults weren't much help either, them giving us a small portion of food a day while they ate huge cakes, bread, meat, and dessert's. You get the motive.

When the William's had adopted me, I was ten, I was nearly skin and bone, with bruise's and cuts scattered all over my body. When I say I've been through hell you better believe me because those valuable years of my childhood were ruined forever. They had nursed me back to health and treated me like there own, I always felt like I had owed them. Then when I was eleven Henry came to the world, he doesn't know I'm not his real sister yet and I wanted to keep it that way for now. I didn't want to lose him, I already lost my real parents and I couldn't lose Henry too. He was like a brother to me.

So, back to me and the heavenly beach.

I watched Henry play in the water, and that's when it dawned on to me, I'm turning seventeen in a few months; which means Henry will be turning six soon. He'll be starting school, and I'll be starting eleventh grade. I sighed deeply. In one year, I'm going to college, and I'll be too busy to be with Henry. That is what sucks the most about growing up, leaving the ones you love behind. It feels like yesterday that they picked me up at that orphanage. I clench my teeth, I'm not going to cry, not here and not now with Henry.

I look back up at Henry and realize he's coming towards me with something in his hands.

“Danny! Danny I found a starfish!!! ” He yells and hands it to me gently. “Make sure not to drop rainbow, she brakes easily,” He tells me and I nod as I take in its beauty.

The star fish had five legs, one had broken off, its body was covered in rainbow flecks, that sparkled in the summer sun.

“Wow, Henry its so beautiful, we better keep it alive though. I'll keep it in my pool so we can keep it until we leave. Sound good?” I say and he nods happily.

“Good idea Danny!!” He cheers and gives me a high five.

“Heh, thanks,” I say sheepishly and he runs off to play in the water again.

I arrive home, with Henry of course, as the sun sets, just like mom had said. I get out and help Henry out of his car seat, who had fallen asleep in the car. I carry him into the house to see Ms. And Mr. Williams at the front door.

My mom was beginning to speak when I hushed her.

“Mom, Henry's asleep can I put him in bed before-” I motion with my free hand around us. “-This,”

They exchange looks before my mother nods for me to do so. I carefully, but hurriedly make my way upstairs and head towards his bedroom. His door creaks and Henry moves, but he doesn't wake. I breath a sigh of relief before I walk into his bedroom and tuck him in to his bed. I kiss him on his forehead before I silently head out of his bedroom and down the stairs.

“Sorry it took me so long I just didn't want to wake him,” I say truthfully and Mom looks at dad.

“Cancel it, I can't do it,” Mom says and dad frowns.

“Why
“Why? We discussed this-”

“No, she's so good with Henry and she's been good to us. Cancel it now please,” Mom says and I frown at them confused.

“What are you talking about?” I say and I'm really hoping my guess isn't correct. That they were going to give me back to that hell hole that's called an orphanage.

I could see regret in her eyes when tears began to fall from her light green eyes.

“I didn't know what came over me, I love you like you are my daughter and I was going to give you back,” She choked on her sob and ran over and held me in her arms tightly.

“I don't know what came over me... I don't want to loose you.. ” She sobbed into my arms and I held her; I was  shocked at what she had confessed to me. I didn't know how to respond.

So I just whispered back, “I love you like you're my mother, you did so much for me, its okay,” I give her a light squeeze and she lets go of me her hands holding on to mine and she  looks into my dark drown eyes.

“Y-You mean that?” She croaks and I nod, tears of my own falling off my cheek.

“Yes, I do. I've always have,” And I hug her again, then I look up to my dad.

“Dad, I love you as much as mom,” I say and I hug him, he hesitates but he hugs me back.

“You don't feel like I don't love you like a father right?” I ask and he sighed.

“I didn't-I hadn't-” he stutters and his eyes fill with regret like moms.

“I'm sorry,” He apologizes to me and holds me tightly.

“Its okay,” I reassure him and when he let's go I tell both of them to have a goodnight before I head up to my room.

When I close my door behind me I head towards my bathroom and strip my dress and my bathing suit off. I step into my shower and turn on the water to a warm temperature and let out a a sob.

They were going to give me back
