Change My Mind (Jacob Black)

Chapter 1

KATIE'S P.O.V

I breath in the rainy La Push air. Most people loved the sun and warmth, and don't get me wrong, I did too. But rain was like my peace of mind. I felt the breeze, and I could tell it was going to rain. My name is Katie Lahote, I am a 17 year old teen. I have thick long dark brown hair. My eyes are a dark brown, and I have plump lips. I am quite tall, I am the height of 5'7, which is a little abnormal. I have been mistaken for an adult, but I don't mind. I have black glasses, and I am kind of nerd. I love sports though, and I was on the soccer team when I lived in California. I decided to move to La Push because I had to get away from my abusive father. My mother died when I was 15 and we lived in La Push, and my already abusive father became more and more aggressive. We moved to California to leave behind the sadness. But I had to come back to my home. I escaped when he had gone out one night, and he had no idea I left. I knew he wouldn't tell the police, because if he did I could report him. I was moving in with my twin brother Paul, who had stayed behind in La Push with my aunt Sue Clearwater. He had his own apartment now, and he was more than happy to let me move in with him. I have arrived at his house now, and I pick up my suitcases and knock on the door. I didn't have much, and I didn't really want to get comfortable in Cali. The door flew open, and a very excited Paul stood in front of me. "AHHHHHHH!!!" he squeals and pulls me in for a hug. "PAULY!" I yell. "KATIE!" he screams, and we laugh as we topple over into a heap. "I missed you so much!" We say at the same time and giggle. "Luckily, we don't even have to catch up, considering we always talk on the phone." Paul says. I laugh. "Yeah, James hasn't found out about that yet. He's gonna be pissed when he finds the phone bills I hid." I say. Paul laughs. She is the only who knows about my father. "Well, come on in. Here's your room." he says gesturing to a room. I push open the door and gasp. It has a walk in closet, and a connect bathroom. There is a bed in the corner of the room, and a desk next to it. A window is at the foot of the bed, with a beanbag next to it in the other corner. Paul had already decorated and made my room up. "Paul! I love it. It's perfect." I say, throwing my arms around him. He laughs and hugs me back. I pull away and take some time to just observe him. He has grown so much since I had last seen him. He grew about a good foot and half. He was very muscular, and tan. I noticed the tribal tattoo on his right bicep. We were similar in out hair, eye, and skin colour. "Damn Paul. When did you get so bulky?" I ask. He laughs. "Dunno. Just did." he shrugs. I roll my eyes. "School starts tomorrow, so you better get some sleep. You'll meet our old friends tomorrow. Remember Embry? And Jared and Quil and Seth and Leah and-" I cut him off and perk at the name of Leah. "Yeah, I get it. I have a lot of friends." I say flipping my hair. "I remember them. Can't wait." Paul rolls his eyes and laughs and then leaves. I take a shower and change into a sweatshirt and shorts. I unpack and organise a little. After I'm done, I collapse on the bed and close my eyes. Sleep takes over me, and I fade.
