Well, this is my first story, so if anyone could respownd with suggestions, thoughts, comments, ect., please do so. Thanks :)
CHAPTER 1
Prologue
“Come on!” I yelled into my sister's room. “Mom say you're going to be leaving in 3 minutes, get out here!”
“Come on, Jake, I'm going as fast as I can!” Vivienne said.
“Well that's not fast enough!”
My sister was always slow, she was the last one to get to the school bus, to the breakfast table, to school, anywhere, really. I guess I should introduce myself, before I go any further. My name is Jake, and at this moment in time, I was 14. I was into a lot of sports, including hockey, and basketball. I had a crush on a girl named Bella, a sweet, cute girl in my class. She was all I thought about. While I wanted to ask her out so bad, I never could wind up enough courage to do so.
As for my sister, she was 15. She concentrated on getting good grades at school, and enjoyed watching TV in her free time. The two of us never got along, whether it was food, TV channel, or games, we always found a way to yell at one another.
Well, she was leaving for a week anyways. Today was thanksgiving, and she was leaving to go on some school trip down to Washington D.C. We always had our family thanksgiving gathering at our house, so after my mom left with my sister for the airport, my dad and I had to start preparing the meat. We had a full turkey we had to put in the oven, as well as grill many hot dogs, and cheeseburgers. My sister was usually the one to answer the door when people came, and let them in. However, sense she was gone in DC, I had to do it this year. I enjoyed greeting my family, I noticed how every age showed up,everywhere from my 6 moth old cousin, to my 89 year old grandfather.
When it was time to eat, only Elizabeth had not shown up yet. She was my cousin, she was 16. She was really mean to me, always. I hated her. Well, when the doorbell rang, I didn't want to answer it, but my mom told me to do it anyways. However, I was shocked as to who was actually behind the door.
