Silhouette (Japser Hale)

Prologue

You can't start the next chapter in your life if you keep re-reading the last one.

Ophelias pov:

They say home is where the heart is... But is it really? Because home for me is my mom, who passed away just a year and a half ago. Leaving me with my aunt and baby brother. I miss my mom, I miss her warm hugs on rainy days, I miss her cuddling with me when it was cold out. I miss her warm embrace, but now she's like a silhouette...

I miss Forks. Mom used to take my baby brother and I down to Forks to visit our Uncle John, whenever we were on summer break. But its been a while since we've been down to visit him. I wonder how he's been doing.....

I sighed snapping out of my thoughts, looking at my aunt cooking dinner. "Ophilia" She said looking at me as if she was worried. "We need to talk sweety." She said, thats never good... last time I heard that, she said everything was going to be alright. "About?" I asked frowning. "Well hun your Uncle John, wants to take care of you kids and see you guys a lot more..." she trailed off "so we have been talking." She said anxiously as if she was scared to say it. "Just spit it out Aunt Claire, you can say it! You don't want to take care of us anymore right?" I yelled asking throwing my hands up in the air.

"Ophilia!" She yelled looking sternly at me, I froze. "Its not like that! You know how I travel a lot and I can't stay home most of the time! And I'm sorry but I love you and I just wanted you to know that your moving down there in three days...." she said sighing and frowning, trailing off again. "I just want someone to be there for you guys all the time when I can't be. So please Ophilia do this for me" She said sniffling. "Its not like we had a choice anyway right?" I asked getting up out of the chair I was sitting in.

"Also I know how you travel a lot but just so you know, Aunt Claire! I'm not stupid because I know what your doing!Everybody's going through a hard time right now! I asked one of your friends at work and they said that you've been purposefully asking to travel distracting yourself from grief! So you had the choice to stay home!" I yelled crying and running upstairs. "Ophilia!" She yelled but I ignored her and slammed my door. I sighed sniffling and wiping my eyes continuously because my tears wouldn't stop coming down.

After a few hours I had finally stopped crying and felt exhausted... I guess I have to start packing. But I'll pack Andy's things first.

My baby brother and I were currently saying our goodbyes to Aunt Claire. "We love you but we have to go or we're going to be late" I said annoyed. "Come on Andy let's go" I said grabbing his little hand making him walk with me as he watched our Aunt wave goodbye.

We boarded the plane.

After a long ride of babies crying and people coughing or sneezing we finally made it to our destination.... I went to the bag thing and got all of our things then went to search for our ride... "sissy I'm tired" Andy said yawning. I sighed as I found our Uncle waiting for us... "I know buddy but you can sleep in the car lets go" I said as I started to walk over to Uncle John. "Hey kiddos you guys have gotten so big! I haven't seen you guys in a while, I missed you guys. How have y'all been holding up?" He said and I smiled a little. "We missed you too, and I guess we've been ok its just been hard how about you?" I asked. He grabbed our bags setting them in his car, smiling sadly. "Lonely. And lonely without you guys around, but everythings good. Hard that your mother passed away. But I'm a police officer now.." He trailed off as we got into the car.

A couple of minutes passed by in comfortable silence until my Uncle broke it. "Here we are. Home sweet home" He said getting out of the car, getting our things out. Andy and I stayed in the car for a minute staring at the house. Sighing I got out of the car and helped get our things.

"Welcome to Forks." He said smiling

Here we go. Fresh start..... new people, school, house, and friends. I feel like a lot of changes are going to happen this year... hopefully good changes.

"Come on kids I'll show you guys your rooms."

Hope you enjoyed it oof
