Emma's Pov

1 month later 

Dear Journal, 

It has officially been one month since the funeral and it was the worst thing I have ever had to witness!

I don't really have that much family. My mother was a single child and both her parents died before I was even born. It was mostly just my father, friends of hers and Bill’s, or friends of my biological father.

Cameron is a mess but he is trying to be so strong... I think he's doing that for me. I hear him cry almost every night. 

Martha, the who works for the Child Service thing or whatever told me and Cameron that we are now poor and homeless due to my mother not leaving us anything in her will but she also told us that in the Will there is that a couple named Dr. and Mrs. Cullen listed as both mine and Cam’s godparents. Which confused the hell out of me because I have no idea who the hell they are! 

But even though my brother and I never met them before, we’re forced to go live with these people. Well, not really forced because neither my brother nor I bothered putting up a fight cause if we did we would be homeless.

What we know about them so far is that they have 5 adopted kids that are all basically my age. I think Martha said that 2 of them are a year older than me. The father is apparently a doctor and the mother is a teacher.

We also know that our biological father is alive and he lives near them. But he refuses to let us stay with him. We also found out that our half-sister is dating their son Edward which I would find a tad weird if he wasn't adopted.

But the worst part about all this is that they live in Washington! Yeah, apparently they live in a small town called Forks. My brother and I aren’t exactly happy about this.

I’m only upset because I have to move to a whole new state with new people and a new high school where they are going to be questioning me about why I don't talk! 

It took a whole month for my parents to work out a deal with my old school, and the deal was that as long as I did my work and didn't cause trouble, then I didn't have to participate in class discussions without it failing me.

It took such a long time for everyone in the school to realize that I would not speak to them and for them to just leave me alone.

I’m not too upset that I have to leave Al but my social worker says that I will be getting a new therapist there in Forks but in my opinion, I don’t really need a therapist in the first place. 

Right now I am on an airplane to Forks with my brother sitting next to me.  it’s  5:00 in the morning. We just boarded half an hour ago and I'm not even tired. We should be at the airport in Seattle, Washington around 8 am. 

Cam is sleeping with his head leaning to the left. I am basically the only one with my light on because I am writing in you.

I guess I should try and sleep. I'll try and update you on my new home once I get there.

Cameron and I are trying to make our way off the plane but the people in front of us are moving so damn slow. "Do you think they brought their kids?" he asks. I shake my head no, well at least I hope not. 

"Everything is going to be okay Em. I know you're worried about school and your new therapist but I'm sure you’ll grow to like it here. I'm sure both of us will" he tells me. I give him a forced smile and continue to walk off the airplane. Once we are out, we enter a small airport with lights so dim that I will probably run into things if I’m not careful.
