Super _Dawnstorm

I pulled my bag over my shoulder stepping out of the terminal. That flight was long . I had to sit next to an old lady visiting some of her grand children .

I had to admit some of them were nice looking but I got to hear 5 hours of her marvelous storytelling. I rushed out as soon as that flight was over .

I spun around looking for my aunt and uncle . I spotted them after a couple of minutes. My aunt had cut her hair a lot shorter than I was used to .

"Cherry !" she cried out pulling me into a hug. I gave my uncle a smile knowing he wasn't the hugging type. He smiled back.

"Oh kiddo I love your hair brunette " she complimented . It was 4 years ago since I dyed my hair caramel brown the first time.

"Thanks , I love yours short " I said to her happily. She pulled me into a hug once more . Wow you know it's been awhile since you didn't know about your aunt's hug obsession.

"Let me get your bags " she said reaching out and picking up my one suitcases. Aunt Kathy was one original person. She had a perky personality that I didn't remember .

I jumped into the back seat of their car taking my draw-string bag off . I grabbed my beats placing them on my head drowning out the noise.

I love my aunt and uncle . I really do ,they live in the most amazing candy factory with their 2 children . But I want to be in Connecticut with my family, not in Colorado with my extended family.

I only had an older brother who was currently in Florida at college . I wish he would have taken me with him .

"So Cherry It's been so long since we actually talked wanna tell us a little about yourself and what you're into ?" she asked politely.

Not wanting to be rude I slipped off my beats . " I love music and baking of course " I said to them . Baking is a family skill. Everyone is in it , everyone makes a living off of it , and everyone enjoys it .

Don't get me wrong I love baking but my parents are constantly pushing me to drop the " music phase" and go to culinary school just like my brother .

It was a family upholding that hasn't been broken since our family moved here from England way back then . I was expected to go to school and open a bakery in Connecticut .

My aunt was a rebel she opened a Candy factory with her husband and my cousins . It was in the same area and it was cooking so she wasn't forever shunned from the family .

About 10 minutes later we ended up at their factory. It was a nice shade of grey and very large . It had a ton of large windows that were scattered around . The inside was full of conveyer belts and candy being produced from machines .

When we climbed up a large ladder we came to the second floor . There was more machinery and a couple different doors leading to various rooms .

We climbed up to another ladder to where the bedrooms are . There were 4 doors that lead down the long and stretched out hallway . When we came to the first door It said Cherry in fancy lettering on the dark wood door .

I turned the brass handle to find a smaller room with a bed a small dresser that also acted as a nightstand and small desk that was ready for my computer . When I walked in I also noticed there were two doors that were labeled Bathroom and Closet.

Aunt Kathy set down the bags on my bed laying them out on their side . "Honey why don't you settle in and dinner will be ready for you in the kitchen. " she said to me kindly .

" Thank you " I said sheepishly with a nod . As soon as the door shut I began putting everything away . I put my electronics and their cords in my desk along with folding majority of my clothes and placing them into the small dresser .

I put my toiletries in the bathroom and put both of my suitcases under the bed . I then fell backwards into my bed . This used to be the guest bedroom . I remember staying here a couple times one being my grandmother's funeral .

I heard a light knock on my door . I got up and opened it just a crack to see my aunt in her workday glory . She was wearing an apron and had some flower on her face .

"So I can see you're settling in well " she said to me wiping her hands off on her apron . I could only guess what she was baking . I smiled and nodded pulling my laptop onto my lap .

"So wanna help " she asked gesturing behind her. I nodded picking up my special apron , looping it around my neck. I stuffed my phone into my front pocket before walking behind her.

We slowly made our way out of the living quarters to the factory . She guided me into the back kitchen where there was cookie dough sprawled out onto the counter .

"So I can see you were making cookies" I said to her with a bright smile . For the first time since I've been here the memory of home was warm and nice. Mostly all I could think about was the constant fighting and yelling .

They were always fighting. I guess they finally realized it was too much for me to handle emotionally . So they shipped me to the only relatives who they knew I wouldn't completely despise life more than I did at home.

I shook the thoughts away from my head not wanting them to ruin a day where I could make up for lost time . Laying in bed trying to search through my head isn't what I want or need right now.

I grabbed a couple cookie cutters and placed them on the flat surface cutting through the thin and delicate surface . It was easy to rip through like a person . But with the right care they can become joy to some people .

"So what are you into besides cooking" she said turning towards me . I smiled pushing those thoughts to the back . I gave it a moment to ensure my words were perfect .

"Music , Um I actually kind of want cooking to just be a for fun thing" I said to her confidently . Most shame me and pretend that I don't exist . I haven't received a christmas present from majority of my relatives for a couple of years .

When music is playing it's like everything makes sense to me. Life is complete it's like that final part of the puzzle to create perfect harmony inside. Everyone acts like it's a crime to believe that maybe I can be different and the world won't end.

I will always be different from my family . Sometimes it makes more sense that they sent me away more cause i didn't uphold the family tradition more than the fighting .

I placed the final cookie onto the cookie sheet in the last spot . I looked over to see her taking out another cookie sheet from the oven. She placed it infront of me .

I picked up the piping bag in front of me and began to pipe the light pink frosting onto the flower shaped cookies . They were delicate sugar cookies that were baked fresh.

Their scent was amazing and contagious making me want to secretly eat one . But A. that would be rude and B. I don't know what they are for . They could be for some charity event .

"So music , I would have never guessed " she said to me with a soft smile . I nodded my head and shrugged . I knew that I didn't want to Bake for a while . It was something I'm good at but not something that I so much like.

I've never really felt a feeling for it. I motioned my hand around in a swift motion to finish off the cookie . I then picked up the next continuing in a similar pattern .

Before I knew it I was finished with the batch . "You know if you want to work for us until school starts we will pay you the wage of a full time worker " she suggested . That would be awesome , I thought .

"Yes I would love that a lot " I quickly said. This offer was one that was amazing and probably wouldn't come up more than once . I could make some extra cash , for that new guitar that I wanted .

The black beauty is what I'm gonna call her. She is actually a classic guitar no amps or anything . It's black with silver designs inside and without my parents here I doubt I will get the funds to buy her .

Which means if I want it it's up to me to scrounge up all my personal money that's not for collage. Dipping into that fund would literally be the death of me . My parents have worked their lives for that pre marriage issues.

They always wanted me to be able to go to any college that I wanted . I think I may go to some kind of advance music school . But that's next year for now I'm about to start out on my junior year and i'm not already planning my whole future like some people.

I believe that Life is meant to be lived not planned. People try to plan out their whole lives when some of the best things happen accidentally. I popped the final cookie onto the rack .

"Okay so when do I start and what will I be doing " I asked turning around to face her . Hopefully everything works out here . I want to get as little attached as possible , so as soon as the offer to go home comes up I can take it .

"Well dear we will have the workers help you make the candy and run the machines , we give everyone saturdays and sundays off so it's dead in there now but at 7 tomorrow morning it will be booming " she said back .

"Okay so can I go upstairs now ?" I asked politely . I didn't want to be rude but the wifi in this factory was amazing and I didn't want to waste it .

When I finally got back to my room I plopped down onto the bed . The way of getting here not only took forever but It was a lot of exercise . You had to walk up the stairs several times and then you had to climb 2 ladders.

I pulled my laptop onto my lap opening up garage band . Its definitely not the most professional software but definitely up there . I opened up the piano and began to swivel my finger around the keyboard .

How do people come up with original melodies . Everything's take and done yet every day you hear something new on the radio that is so original you would have never thought .

I heard another knock on the door this one less quiet . I groaned . Who was that and what the heck did they want. I opened the door to see a new figure there .

I had never met her she had long brown hair that was a carmely color . Her hair was half-up half down . She had Dark Brown eyes that were covered in makeup as well .

"Hey Cousin , how have you been" she screamed out giving me a huge hug . Which one of the twins was this I forget their names but it doesn't matter cause I can't even remember which one she is.

"Hey its so cool to see you guys again , where's your sister ?" I asked . I seriously need to figure out her name and fast or this whole living arrangement will be just straight up awkward .

"Oh Taffe is on her way " She said with a smile . Cinnamon , that's her name it's cinnamon. I smiled proud I finally remembered .

"So it's late , and i'm sure you had a long day " she said . Or you want to get away from probably the most awkward person on the planet .

" Yeah , Goodnight " I said before shutting the door to my room and falling face first onto the bed .
