Jesse's POV 2 years ago....

My 15 year old self looks out at the woods of the Reservation we are moving to in rainy Washington.

Great just I think to my self. I mean I'm tan now living in Texas but Damn I'll be paler than a witches ass soon.

Where here my 8 month along pregnant 32 year old mother says.

Dad kisses her hand and I smile at them he grew up here and is a Quilette Indian (a.n) "my Tenth grade self can't spell that sorry"

And mom is whiter than Santa pale even she doesn't get out much so yeah intervention with her.

He parks the car and we step out the moving trucks are here and there taking the couches inside and other things that should be taken away like that hideous lamp shade it looks like throw up.

I get my polaroid camera out and take pictures of the woods.

Its really beautiful here. Jesse !! I look and see my mom.

Yeah Ma !!

Come on pick your room so the movers can put your stuff in there.

I nod and close my camera I look at the 3 bedroom 2 and a half baths and decide on one with a window seat.

Its cream colored which will change when I get my hands on some paint.

I turn around and jump back when I see my mom and dad looking at me.

Okay here she hands me her credit card. And her keys.

Your almost 16 in a month so here is some adult experience drive to the paint store and pick out any color you want.

I nod and she kisses my forehead.

I grab my brown handbag and put it on my shoulder and check myself in the mirror.

Seeing I look okay I walk downstairs start the car and pull out driving to forks.

I see a paint store and park getting out locking the doors and put them in my bag.

I walk up and down the isles humming hideaway.

I finally found the color I want coral blue I buy to cans full the giant ones cause my room is kinda big and a different color for my bathroom I look some more and settle on a cappacino brown color that will go well with my bedroom.

I pay for the rolling brushes and the pan you pour the paint in.

I drive home and see dark skinned dark colored haired guys helping my dad bring stuff in.

I get everything with a struggle and it is so real..

Uh dad a little help please I say and he see's me and smiles.

It took you what 3 hours to find a color.

What !! Im very picky and who are they ?

Oh thats Quil,Jacob,Paul,Jared,And embry. (This is before they phased)

Oh okay I smile and wave and walk inside damn their hair is long.

I think to myself I lay plastic down and tape down the boarders.

I plug in my iPod to my blue dock and play hideaway and sing as I set up mixing the paint and pouring into the pan.

I roll the paint roller in the coral blue paint and jam to all my favorite music 3 hours later I'm on my second wall 2 hours later my third and finally the last I open a window and let the air dry it.

Then I go into my bathroom then I yell for my dad he walks in and smiles at my room.

"Hey this is really good do you wanna paint our room."

Ha you must be high but I need help how do I do the bathroom ?

Here let me he takes my other color the capacinno color.

I like this color I smile and nod my head as our favorite song comes on American Kids By Kenny Chesney.

We sing it together and laugh as he holds the paint brush to his mouth like a microphone.

Then we sing together

" Making it to second base, but saying you went all the way Monday afternoon at practice"

We laugh and paint some more.

Soon we finish and I open more windows to let it dry faster 6 hours later its 8 at night at I touch the walls pulling bag and its dry.

I take up the plastic that covered the white carpet. I take off the tape of the boarders.

And for in the bathroom and take everything out of there.

I clean up in the bathroom wiping everything down setting my stuff in there like all the things teenage girls use.

I go to my room and with dads help put up my bed in the center against the wall with the double windows beside it.

We drill in holes for the curtains there a cream color and go well with my cream and coral blue bed sheets.

We put in the dresser and I hang stuff up in my walk in closet and my dresser.

I set up my vanity and pit coral blue seat covers in my window seat with cream colored pillows I sit there and look out the window.

I'm going to love it here I can just tell.
