When I was seven years old, I decided to run away. My parents took away my Barbie Dreamhouse after an incident at school (which totally wasn’t my fault) landed me with a visit to the principal’s office. My bag was packed, complete with snacks and my beanie baby collection, but before I could leave the house I heard one thing that stopped me in my tracks: the sound of my mom crying. When I heard her tears over my trouble in school, bills, and my brother’s inconsistent punctuality, I suddenly didn’t want to leave anymore. I realized that I loved my family, and that I never wanted to be the reason they cried. Ever.
Two days ago my bag was packed. I heard her crying. But I still had to leave. Saul’s actions had worsened, his jail sentence was nonexistent,

Welcome to La Push, Washington! You’ll be staying here with former agents Jacqueline and Leonard Stump. You are their 17 year old niece, adopted by Leonard’s brother Tim and his wife Layla. You’re from San Francisco, and your parents died in a car accident. Questions?” I didn’t have any. My new identity was practically old news by now. I had rehearsed with Agent Blackburn constantly over the last two days as we traveled from my hometown (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) to here.
I shook my head no before exiting the car, single duffle bag in tow. I wasn’t allowed to bring much from home. Agent Blackburn escorted me out of the car and to the front door of my new home. He knocked on the door. After a moment, a friendly woman with russet colored skin and inky black hair let us in.
“I’m Jackie! You must be Heather! So sorry to have you here under such dire circumstances, but Leo and I sure hope you enjoy our beautiful reservation!” She rushed her words out and gave me a tight

It would probably take a while to get used to acting like they were my family. And to actually respond to the name Melanie. I quickly brushed my teeth and put on some mascara and lip gloss. Thankfully I’d been able to shower that morning, so I didn’t have greasy hair. I changed out of my sweatpants and into a blue floral sundress before deciding I was ready.
“The local boys will love you,” Jackie winked, as I walked into the living room. I laughed, “Yeah, a boyfriend is exactly what I need right now.” She laughed awkwardly. “Too soon?” I asked. This time her laugh was genuine, “You already fit in so well. You and Leo have the same sense of humor.”
“She’s a blessing!” Leo exclaimed, ruffling my hair as he passed me to walk out the door. We followed him out and piled into their truck. I poked my head between their seats and said, “So give me the run down on these people. Who are they, and what do they know?”
“We’ll be at Sam and Emily’s house. Sam is pretty high ranking within the tribe, and so am I. That’s how we know each other so well-“ Leo cut her off at this point, “Don’t mind me. Just the former US marshal and current rez doctor.” She slapped his arm playfully. “Shush, you. Anyway, all they know is that you’re our niece moving in with us after your parents died. They know basic facts about your persona. You’re 17, from California, an only child, etc.” I
So, I thought maybe he was going to become a decent person… maybe. But boy was I proved wrong. His first day of college must’ve been an average first day because I didn’t hear any news about any Andy Evan’s drama. And for that matter he must’ve had a pretty average first month. But, soon I would get the best news that I had ever heard from Rachel, “Did you see in the newspaper where Andy Evans was arrested?”
“Mom, what are you talking about? Don’t you want to come home? Don’t you miss us?” When Logan reached across the table and touched her hand, Veronica heard the little girl in her own voice. “I just don’t understand. Help me understand, why you left- what you’re doing out here? What you’re doing meeting Jake Kane at the the Neptune Grand when you can’t even come see your own daughter or your own husband,” Veronica fought to keep the accusation out of her voice, as Lianne’s hand slapped the lacquer of the bar’s booth table, stunning the three of them into silence.
“Jealous?” A smirk grew on his face, hiding laughter behind a taunting pair of lips. “Don’t think I forgot about you. Last time I checked, you owe me for letting you know what I know about Zachary’s little girlfriend. But don’t fret. I’m very flexible with payment plans.”
Unfortunately the package only came with four tickets, so we had to travel alone. After six long hours of being in a private jet, we arrive in California. “Woah, look at that! Oh, and that! And that!” “We get it Agustin, you are amazed by Los Angeles,” Jacob said with a smirk. “Ok Mr. Hollywood, not everyone gets to travel around the world whenever they want,” Agustin backfired. Makenzie soon interrupted the argument with a scream. ‘Oh my gosh! Look! Hannah, look who that is,” Makenzie said, with tears trying to break out of her eyes. I glance over to my left, and I notice Justin BIeber and Shawn Mendes having a conversation. I felt as if i was going to black out. Then I see them getting closer and closer. Boy, is this a dream come
"So Seavey how did it go?" She said while staring then taking a sip of tea from her thick and vibrant tumbler before she interrupted my next words, "Oh and honey I do have to apologize for leaving you here I know you might not have wanted me in the room but I did want to stay the sitting area in the front. They have so many nice treats up there but... they called me into work and you know how hard it is for me on weekdays." she continued on and began to ramble which actually made me kind of glad. It gave me a little more time to wrap my head around what just happened in that closed welcoming but also terrifying room with one person that has a degree on getting you to spill your heart and soul into a conversation while they sit there and take notes on your traumatic life and judge every decision you make from the moment you
Leah put her head into her pillow and began to sob. Her father finally allowed her to be his partner in crime, only a month ago. He always thought that only boys should be thieves. Leah smiled at the memory of what had happened.
“His mother is still here right?’ I questioned and she nodded “But right now we are going to go to the police department and get Ross arrested for good.” she added on. And that’s what we did, I sat for 4 hours answering questions like 1. did you see your kidnappers face? 2. is that your kidnappers child? 3. how did
“Who are you asking?” Asked Mike, “Mariah Lopez!” Shaun replied. Everybody nodded their head in agreement. “That’s right, Mariah Lopez.” Shaun carried on bragging about her special features. “You know she has a sister right,” looking at me. “Nope, I’m good.” I replied. “Well who are you asking then?” asked Mike. “I don’t know yet!” I answered. I’m taking Stacy Porter, announced Chris. I looked shocked, because I just told him last night I was going to ask her. Stacy Porter was 5”4’, light skinned, hazel eyes, white teeth and arched eyebrows. She was simply gorgeous. “So, Mell (short for Germell) who are you going to ask?” They all asked sounding like a local band hitting the same note at once. “Oh, I’m going to ask (it was dead silence for about five seconds), suddenly the bell rang for class. I walked away leaving them puzzled. As I was walking away, I heard Chris say in a conniving tone “alright we’ll meet right back here after class.”
“Today’s going to be a new day Sienna Brown “ I said as I walked through the door. I looked around everything was fine. Then I walked into my room.The safe I had in my room was open everything was stolen and at that moment I was robbed and the robber took my 40,000 which I was going to use to buy plane tickets to france. No! I screamed and I picked up the phone to call Ditrick Blast, my best friend and a sleuth. Soon after, Ditrick arrived.” Hi, Sienna “ he said “ Glad to see you. I’m actually very very glad to see you” “ Huh’’? I said while I was fixing up some tea. After all it was New York City in winter. “ Wow. Sienna you are stunning,” Ditrick said. I said nothing.‘’ Well I heard about the problem. These are the suspects I concluded. Jakyla Tulip. Dana Lupistrick . Kiara Brown. Who shall we visit first.? “ said Ditrick. Dana Lupistrick. I responded. Dana and Jakyla are my best friends and roommates. Although, I don’t get quite along with Dana. We went in Dana’s room and we saw her gossiping on her phone. ‘’ Did ya know Sienna got robbed they say that the robber spent all the money,” What?!?! I screamed ‘’ Hold on, It just a rumor I know it isn’t true but people
“Why do they have to make everything so complicated!” Hannah Page exclaimed from the perch on her bed. The tight knit group of girls that I have been drawn into were sprawled across a bedroom, all of us complaining in agreement about the amount of effort it took to plan a simple day trip when the male half of our dysfunctional pseudo-family was involved. Phones were buzzing as we tried to organize last minute plans, with the boys continually introducing complications that hindered us from our goal. The girls and I continued filling the air with plans for a day in Nashville, as the boys either interrogated us for details, or in Zach’s case, stopped replying all together.
There were 5 guys, just as I am about to explain. So, let me introduce them to you. Besson, Corbyn Besson, was a Senior. Star of the football team, captain in fact. Oh, did I mention he’s the quarterback, too? Yeah, he’s mister popular. He has amazing eyes and his hair is everything. And of course, he has a girlfriend. Miss blondy captain of the cheer team who’s also a senior. Yeah, sucks right? Well I’ll move on to the next guys. Jonah Marais, the other senior. He is the star of the baseball team. He is one of the most lovable, sweetest guys you’ll ever meet. Next is Daniel, Daniel Seavey. He is a Junior. He has the most gorgeous eyes I have ever seen in this existence. He doesn’t really play sports, he’s more of the musician. He knows how to play lots of instruments and he's amazing at every single one of them. He doesn’t have a girlfriend, he just has girl friends. The only Sophomore is Jack Avery. He is the definition of
The other women hugged Carrie and climbed into the vehicle. Donovan approached her cautiously. Turning Carrie to him, he spoke softly. “I know you agreed to stay and all, but hell, if you want to, you can take off and come on back when you’re more prepared. I’ll understand.”
""are on the run from her Daddy. He done don't like me, and wanted his baby girl to marry some rich guy who asked for her hand. instead of me. Figured if we got properly bethrothed he'd have to accept it, so we're on our way to Vegas. Had to hitch-hike, to save our funds for the service, and so I could take her on a proper honeymoon. Course the guy who picked us up, was some pervert who keep suggesting dirty things to my fiance here, so I had to get out of the vehicle, before I decided to beat him around the head. Karmen here doesn't like violence. Isn't that right, baby?" Duane leaned back up to plant a kiss on Karmen's lips; had to make it look real; and his had had already begun to unlatch the passenger door by the time he turned his attention back to the drive. "Hope you don't mind giving us a ride to the nearest town. Guess, we'll catch a bus from or something from
When I was born, my older sister was two years old at the time, and she had already gotten used to being adored by everyone and wasn't pleased with me coming into the picture. This has caused a problem between us that has still not been addressed today. During our childhood and sometimes even today, she would bully and humiliate me. In front of people she would make fun of how I looked or acted and would ostracized from activities. As we grew up, her jealousy only grew. I was always getting excellent grades in school, making people laugh, and listening to our parents. She on the other hand had a much harder time. As her resentment grew for me, I started to resent her since she had made me feel insignificant, ugly, and unworthy of anyone's affection. She moved out of my dad's house at age 15
With her thoughts lingering on the past hours spent with her lover, Marlene drove faster than usual to get home. Upon entering the garage, she breathed a sigh of relief when she didn’t see her husband’s car. Exiting the Mercedes, Marlenee straightened her clothes as a devious smile crossed her face. Going into the house, placing her purse on the desk before she went into the kitchen to make a fresh pot of coffee while waiting for her husband and father-in-law to come home.
