It's been about two weeks since the accident and I was released a week ago, looking like death. My normal tan skin pale as snow, I haven't eaten anything, and my eyes hold no life like they used to..

Strangely my mum doesn't seem too worried, but I don't blame her. She's probably disgusted to be around me, after all I'm the reason her husband is dead..

"Adelaide, pack up your stuff. We're moving to the states." She says coming to my door, no emotion on her face I just nod.

No point in asking where, if she won't give me an answer. I pack everything I own, making my room as empty as I have felt since that day. Bringing it down stairs I see my mum only packed one suitcase. Maybe she'll come back for the other stuff I dunno.

"Where are we living in the states Mum?" She flinches at my voice, not sure why but whatever, we start to put my things in the boot of the car and head to the aero port.

"We're going to stay with my brother Sam in Washington until we can find a place there." I realize how different this will be.

I'm so used to the warmth and sunshine and now we're moving to a place where it rains all the time?

"Why are we moving so far?" I ask staring out the window, always watching the other cars.

"Because. It's where I grew up, and it's only fair you meet my side of the family." The thing is, I can tell when my mum is lying and that was a bunch of bull.

We get to the plane and well, I'm in for a long and boring flight. Might as well get some sleep since I haven't slept much anyways.

I burst through our front door, tears streaming down my face hoping not to run into my parents. I left school early because I found my boyfriend of a year and a half cheating on me with someone I thought was my friend. Me being the fighter I am confronted him and when he tried to play innocent, I slapped him and ended things between us.

"Addy Kat? Baby what happened?" My dad asks as he sees me try to sneak into my room. I collapse into his arms and just cry myself out of tears, as he rubs my back comfortingly telling me it's gonna be alright.

"Michael cheated on me dad! With Isabelle! Someone I thought was my friend!" I paused to catch my breath as my dads grip tightened around me. "S-so I slapped him and ended things..." He shushes me and calms me down.

"It's okay Little Bird, he doesn't know what a great girl he's missing out on." I give him a watery smile at that as he pulls me away and gets down to my height.

"Now you listen to me Adelaide Katia Turner, you don't need a boy. You are perfect and independent, just like your parents. This boy was stupid for doing what he did, and I don't want this affecting you. You are strong and I know you can handle this. Promise me you'll never beat yourself up over something a stupid boy does. Okay? Keep your pecker up."

"I promise Daddy. And thank you. For always being here for me." I say and we both smile and he kisses my forehead.

"I'll always be here for you Addy Kat. No matter what happens." And with that I went upstairs to my room, cleaned my room of anything about Michael and took a nap with nothing but sweet dreams.

~~~

"Adelaide hunny." I hear the voice I'd know anywhere from somewhere in the darkness. This is weird, I'm still dreaming right?

"Daddy? Is that you?" I ask into the darkness to soon be greeted by the ever-smiling face of my father like I saw him a couple weeks ago.

"Hey Addy Kat." He says spreading his arms wide and I immediately fall into his embrace missing it so, so much.

"D-Daddy w-what are you....h-how are you here?!?" Tears filling my eyes but a giant grin on my face.

"I'm here to talk Baby Girl, and to tell you not to be upset about things, not to blame yourself."

"How can I not be upset about everything Da?! And i-it is my fault! You being gone, is all my fault! If I didn't insist on the ride that day, you would still be here and things would still be normal!"

New tears flowing from my face as I cling to him knowing I won't see him again once I wake up.

"Adelaide Turner. It is not and never was your fault!" He grabs my shoulders and pulls me back so he can look me in the eyes with his "strict dad" look.

"It was my choice to move the bike so that you wouldn't get as badly hurt. It was and still is my duty, as your father to make sure, you are always safe. So I saved your life so that you can move on and live a long and happy life you deserve. Please don't be upset with yourself, it'll only make it worse. I want you to live your life to the fullest and still be the same you."

"I-I don't know if I can Dad. Mum isn't the s-same a-and I don't think I can be the same without you—"

"I want you to Adelaide. Please. You have to promise me. No if, ands, or buts. You deserve this, and moving to Washington your life is going to change and you have to be ready for it and you have to be strong. You are my daughter so I know you are strong, but you cannot blame yourself for anything! Please."

Tears streaming down my face I look up into my dad's green eyes seeing them also fill with tears, knowing this is hard on him as it is for me. We were close after all..

"Okay. I promise, to stop blaming myself because I trust you, but Daddy it's hard."

"I know it's hard baby, but you're strong and you can get through this. I'll always be here for you. I promise." He moves hair out of my face and leaves his hand on my cheek wiping away my stray tears.

"You promise?" He nods his head and smiles at me. " Okay, I promise. But I still miss you Da."

"I miss you too Addy Kat. I'll always be with you, no matter what happens. I love you baby girl, so much." He kisses my forehead tears, streaming down both our faces.

"I love you too Da, so so much." And with that he gave me one more kiss and it soon faded back to darkness.

"Da! Daddy!! Please, come back!"

I wake with a start to find myself still on the plane, but with tears streaming down my face. I-I can't believe I just talked to my dad like I've wanted to for the past two weeks.. And he told me my life would change in Washington..

I wonder why.. or how I guess? My mum looked over showing shock for a second, realizing I was crying.

"We're landing soon Addy. Glad to see you're awake." Yeah okay mum...

The plane lands and the first thing I notice is the clouds...We are completely covered in clouds.. and it looks like its raining. Great. We grab our cases and Mum stops and starts to look around.

"Sam said he was going to come pick us up." So that's who she's looking for.

Soon enough I saw a tall, and muscular figure looking around for us and I realized it was my uncle Sam because he had the same skin tone as me.. well used to...

"Sam!" Mum yells and he looks over and sends a sad smile at the both of us.

He walks over and embraces my mom first and I can see the tension leave her body, but return when he lets her go. He hugs me next and I have to hold back some tears because it feels like Dad's bear hugs...

We head out to his truck and pile in with all our bags in the bed and luckily it's a short drive to La Push reservation. Let me just say it is absolutely beautiful here, I never thought it would be, but I might fall in love with this place.

The reservation is just as I remembered it, beautiful and small that's what I love about it. Everyone knows everybody and it all just feels like home.

A slight smile appears on my face as we pull up to Sam's two story house, and we all pile out and Sam brings my bags inside and suddenly pulls me into another hug.

"I'm glad you're here Addy. If you just need to talk, I'm always here for you alright?" I just nod my head against his chest because I'm afraid to use my voice right now.

"Hey Sam we found—woah. Who's this?" I hear a new voice walk in from outside and I feel Sam tense up and hold me a little closer.

"Embry, now's not the time—" but I cut Sam off since he's being kind of rude and well I'm staying here might as well meet people.

"No Sam it's fine." I say turning around and wiping the few tears from my eyes. "I'm Adelaide, Sam's niece. Sorry I don't typically look like rubbish." I saw with a slight smile and the tall, cute boy looks down and smiles back at me.

"I'm Embry and you don't look like 'rubbish', but hey I like your accent!" He says slowly making eye contact with me and seems to sigh in relief after a second and Sam relaxes as well. I wonder what that was all about?

"Thanks. I just moved from Australia." Sam goes outside to help my mum and so I start to grab some of my cases to bring them upstairs.

"Here let me help you with those!" Embry says as he grabs the rest, which is a lot!

I'm guessing he's pretty strong to grab all those at once. I thank him and we head up to the last door on the left which is my new room.
He heads back down stairs to get some food while I unpack a bit, but decide to procrastinate that and head down also.

I get to the bottom of the stair case only to hear my mom and Sam arguing so I stop to eavesdrop.

"Please Sam! You have to understand—!"

"Understand what Kate? That you're running from your problems and leaving your daughter behind when you need each other the most?!"

What? My hand flys to cover my gasp and I feel tears start to well. Mum plans to just leave me here?!

"You don't understand how hard it is Sam! Every time I look at her, I see Will. I can't talk to her because she sounds just like him! It hurts too much Sam!"

She forgot to mention the fact it's my fault.. Silent sobs are now shaking my body, knowing I've caused my mum so much pain..

"Do you not realize how much pain Addy is in? How much more pain she'll be in if you do this?" At least Sam gets it. At least he understands.

"Please Sam. This is the only favor I've ever asked—"

"Just leave Kate.." Wow Sam's kicking his own sister out..

"What? Sam—"

"Addy will stay with me—"

"Oh thank—"

"Don't thank me Kate. I'm just doing what's right and supporting my niece through all of this. But you don't have to worry about that now. So just leave."

S-Sam's gonna let me stay?! But my mum doesn't want me around anymore.. I can't help but have more tears run down my face as I run back up to my now permanent room and throwing myself on my bed. I never saw this coming.. If I hadn't wanted to go for a ride that day we would still be a normal family...

"I know I promised you Daddy, but this is all my fault."

I mumble to myself crying harder. I couldn't stop the tears from coming, there was just so many and her words kept repeating in my head..

I cryed myself to sleep that night so much for a nice, warm welcome..
