She is broken

New family new home

Soon enough we land. As soon as I get out of the plain I grab my bags from the bag return and go to the bathroom. In so worried about meeting my uncle. He and my father were twins so they look identical. I'm going to be living with them till I turn 18 next year then I'll probably go to college.

After I finish I wash my hands and look in the Mirror to fix my hair. All I see is a pretty girl with long brown curls and green eyes that look shattered and broken. I soon realize that girl is me. I barley recognize the broken soul looking back at me.

I walk out and to look for Danny my uncle. As I look I hear my name being called. I turn on my heels to see him 'dad' I think then correct myself "uncle Danny "I say and walk to him. He engulfs me in a hug. Oh he smells like him. How is it possible for him to sound ,look and smell like my father. "Hey girly how you holdin' up" he says

"I've been better" I say trying to keep it light.

"You look just like your mom,

your lucky" he says changing subject.

"Thanks sometimes I almost forget what she looks like, dad used to say 'just look in the mirror you'll see her'" I respond. I feel a familiar twinge of pain in my chest as I say that.

"he always did have the best way with words ."

"Yea he did" I say in a whisper almost to myself I feel a knot in my throat. "So are you ready to go home?" 'Home' the word felt like a punch to the stomach, if only he knew the impossibility of me ever actually calling a place my home. Home is were you grow up where you grow up, where you have memories, where you sit and reminisce with the people this memories were made of but don't have that not any more.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Danny saying "well?" only then had I realized that he said something before "what was that? " I say pretending I didn't want to break down completely. "Would you like help with your bags?" he says smiling. "yea sure" I say handing him my big suitcase. I really didn't have that many bags I only had two big suitcases, a duffle bag,and my carry on backpack.

As we made our way to the car Danny tried to keep up a good conversation but I just couldn't. By the time we got to the car he understood and the ride home was almost painfully silent. We soon arrived at a beautiful twoStory house literally a block from the beach. I couldn't believe this was where I was going to live.

As I was about to open the door to the house a you do blonde girl in braids opened the door. I knew it must be my little cousin ivy. "Hi!" She said excitedly "your Vanessa right, wow your pretty, did you know your room across the hall from mine? I'm ivy and I'm 8 by the way." The young girl said (impressively all in one breath) I walk in and say " hi ivy I am Vanessa but you can call me anything you want ok. And it's great to finally meet you can you go tell your mommy I'm here? " I ask in a sweet voice. I could already tell Ivy was the kind of girl you had to love. It was simply impossible not to.

As soon as I sat my bags down a saw a beautiful blonde lady. I knew her as my aunt. The last toms I saw her I was about 10 and now 6 years later she hasn't aged a bit. She was tall and skin with hair that came to about halfway down her back. "Hello Vanessa. Im so sorry I want you to know I'm hear if you need to talk ok?" She asked me hugging me tight. "Ok thanks." I say back.

Soon after Danny comes in and calls up the stairs to someone "hey Ethan Vanessa's here I want you to meet her ." who was he calling to I don't remember any other family members living here. Just then my thoughts are interrupted my the guy walking down the stairs. He is absolutely gorgeous he has supper pail skin and a dark brown mop of curls on his head, his perfectly completed face is adorned with a trail of light freckles that cross his nose and crustal blue eyes. He is wearing a pair of tight fitting black jeans and a 'Bring me to the horizon' shirt and a beanie.

"Hi I'm Ethan. " he says I'm a deep voice with a smile. "I'm Vanessa but you can call me ness or nessa if you want. " I say smiling back. "Ethan here is staying with us for a while too." My aunt tells me. I look at him and silently thank god that we aren't related. "Yea my dad and Danny are friend and my parents went on a super Long trip to London for work I couldn't leave school and this is my last year so I'm staying here." he says clarifying the situation

"Oh cool." I say feeling envious he has parents to go back too later then immediately feeling awful for doing so. "So ivy will you show me my room please ? " I say sweetly to my little cousin. "yea !" she says excited. "I'll come too, I want to see your reaction to the room." Ethan stated mischievously.

After we walk up the stairs and down the hall I see a door with a M&M poster on it and looked back at Ethan who shrugged and said "I like my music ok" "you do have GREAT taste in music" I said back. "Hey maybe we could jam sometime." Ethan said as we entered my room. As soon as I saw my mouth dropped open. It was huge with white walls and black crown molding and the ceiling was an exact replica of the night sky as far as furniture there was a large black bed with dark purple sheets and a white canopy and a white dresser with a mirror. I smiled and looked at Ethan. "I painted the ceiling myself " he says quietly looking at his feet. "It's amazing!" Maybe I'll like it here after all I thought to myself.
