                             •Hello mother•

*Lydia's pov*

-Police station-

     I woke up with a jump, she driver has just told me we were here.  I looked out the window and saw a bridge just in front of us with a sign on the other side saying 'Welcome to Mystic Falls'.  I was kind of excited to be somewhere new, I've never been outside of Beacon Hills before so this was a big change but the guilt was still tugging at my heart.

     A car door closing woke me from my thoughts, I looked out the window and saw a police station.  Seriously?!? I've been in enough police stations for a while.  The driver opened my door for me and grabbed my bags.
     I followed him inside the building and towards an office.  The sheriffs office. Okay I've spoken to a sheriff for long enough as well, I just want to go home. Beacon hills home not here home.
     A woman opened the office door and moved to the side so we could go in.  The driver set my things down shook my hand and told me he was done here.  As he left the woman I'm assuming is the sheriff sat down in front of me.

  "You must be Lydia" she spoke with a soft voice.  Well yeah who else were you expecting?
  "Uh yeah that's me" I answered while trying to be polite. She smiled and went to call someone on her cell phone. Okay so I'll just here while you talk on the phone it's cool. Okay calm down she's just doing her job, and for gods sake stop talking to yourself!
     I looked up at her as she ended the phone call and sat down behind her desk.

"We have a lot to talk about before your mother comes to get you!" I cringed slightly when she said mother but played it off like I was cold, wrapping my arms around my body.
  "What do we need to talk about?" I asked while looking up at her.
  "I just want to tell you about your family and what life is like here nothing bad" she smiled. I smiled back, she seems pretty nice.

" okay so your mother has another child, a son-" "wait I have a brother?!" "Yes his name is Tyler, he's the same age as you" I had so many questions but I stayed quiet not wanting to be here longer than I have to, I'll just ask my 'mom'. The sheriff continued "You've been enrolled to our high school here and we've tried to get you the classes you had back in California. I have a daughter the same age as you named Caroline, I'm sure she'll help you around she loves those kinds of things. Anyway you'l-" the door creaked open halting the sheriffs and revealing a rather pretty lady.

She stepped into the room closing the door behind her, the sheriff stood and walked over to the lady and smiled putting a hand on her shoulder and then turning to me.
"Lydia this is your mother, Carol..Carol Lockwood" I stood up and gave her a tight smile while sticking my hand out for her to shake which she took rather quickly giving me a bright smile.

"Hello I'm Lydia" I told her quietly to which she responded with "It's lovely to meet you Lydia I'm Carol" I smiled and looked at the sheriff as she spoke up again. "Before I let you go Lydia I just wanted to tell you that this is a very small town, everybody knows everybody so if there's anything you need to talk about I'm here, off duty you can call me Liz" I nodded with a smile, I really like her she seems really nice.

Carol looked at me and told me to follow her, I waved to Liz again before following her out into the parking lot. My bags were already in the car so I got in the front seat.
The car ride to her house was very quiet and awkward, I knew she wanted to ask me questions as well but she was just as scared to ask them as I was.
We pulled up in front of this huge mansion, I was blown away by how big it was this lady must have either a really good job or a rich husband.

I was so intrigued by the house I forgot to grab my bags as I followed Carol up to the front door. Oh. My. God. And I thought the outside was incredible. I felt like I was in a movie.
"Tyler can you come here please? There's someone I want you to meet" Carol yelled.
Right I have a brother, Tyler. Okay I'm freaking out, what if they don't like me, well I mean I don't really care but if I'm gonna live with them they shouldn't hate me.
I saw a boy standing at the top of the stairs slowly walking down with a confused look on his face.

He's never see me before that must be why. "Uh hey mom, who's this?" He asked while stopping beside his mother.
"Um this is Lydia.." she says while looking between the two of us "your sister". He looked shocked..almost last like he didn't know.
