Summer Breeze

Prologue

Forest High, would be the death of Amber Coopers, daughter of the famous actor, the one in all those theatre productions that travel the world. Moving for most teenagers my age (16) would be shocked if their parents decided to move, to different countries, whereas for my family it is a constant disscussion. All I wish that this year is going to be better than the last 15 years of my life.

By day bird flew high in the bright light sky. They were eye music flying in choreographed melody. White birds of heaven were like dazzling beams from the sea-water dapped by wind; their light in eternal blue otherwise, gliding like free spirits. In every winged arch they became the tips of a drivers' wall that brought a surge of sweet earthly joy to music both for eyes and souls. The path in front of my feet, burnt in the sun as my shadow followed close behind. But as night rose, the home's lit up one window at a time, ever changing though the starlit moments as if it were the beat of the music.

It was in early may, a cold morning the sun raised higher than normally. The bright golden sunlight, spilled through the small round window, placed above Amber's cushioned four-post bed. A decent room, a little on the small side but simple and welcoming. Wood beams traced the roof coloured of browns and deep reds. Paintings clipped onto her mirror, allowing the sun to reflect off the fragile glass, but nothing was more important to her than her sisters old reading chair sitting still in the corner collecting dust. Eloise left home three years ago for College, all Amber wants is to be there with her instead of at home with her somewhat loving parents. Every morning she woke up to her parents yelling in the rooms below. Tears would build in her eyes until she couldn't hold them in anymore. Letting out a little unknown sigh, they continuously dripped down her face as she heard the familiar words come from her mother's mouth. Here we go again, she thought.

"Fine then Amber and I are moving, next week. I don't care what you think about my job at least I am paying for Amber and not sitting around on my lazy butt doing nothing... Addam" She dragged on his name as though it was a dog attached to a leash not wanting to walk along the footpath.

Unknown to where she would venture to next, Amber braced herself for what came ahead. Memories flowed back destroying the barrier of love. Once more, she thought, how could her mother do this. They were always leaving and then coming back, she missed out on Christmas with dad because of their constant arguments. Who could she trust? who should she believe? Moving once more to a different town, a different city, making new memories and starting a brand new life.
