She hated being at Charlie’s. It was a constant reminder of her father’s death. A constant reminder that she had killed him and her mother had moved on with his best friend of all people in less than a year. She still wasn’t over Sam, and they weren’t even technically engaged. How could her mother easily get into another relationship after a long marriage and relationship before then? She’d never understand and never care to consider Bella basically her step-sister. The thought was replusive.
She watched the boy make his way down the stairs warily. Sue had given her the lowdown of the kid. She felt bad for him, but it didn’t lessen the annoyance of having to show anyone around the rainy small towns. It would take all of five minutes, there was really nothing to show. To her it seemed like a summer sentenced here was adding another layer of punishment to the teenager.
"Yeah, yeah. Nice to meet you and all that jazz, but I have to say you’re going to be sorely disappointed."
With his leg, he wouldn’t be able to do the one thing they all did for fun. Not that he’d want to, the waves were strong and the water was freezing all year round. Other than that, there was a grocery store, a hiking store, and the schools. He wouldn’t be interested in the schools. Maybe she’d just swing him by a small diner and show him the miserable thing they called a beach. Opening the front door, she held it for him.
"Hope you don’t mind rain."
Although Charlie had remained relatively quiet, Sue had Augustus well informed
about pretty much e v e r y t h i n g concerning their hometown(s). She had filled
the car ride from Seattle with stories about their children, how welcoming the
residents of Forks and La Push were, the medical facility — no subject was left
untouched. Augustus was extremely thankful for Charlie and Sue’s hospitality.
His parents had sent him to Washington with a decent amount of money. However
instead of spending it on clothing, video games, or anything else a normal teenager
would buy, Gus had offered the money to them. He didn’t want to impose on them
more than he already was. Even though Sue still had her own place in La Push, she
spent quite some time living in Forks, therefor, Augustus wanted to chip in.
Food was nowhere near cheap, especially as Charlie now had an extra mouth to
feed, and if Gus took Sue’s word, her children had quite the appetite. Nonetheless,
both adults had turned his offer down. Continuously telling him that having him stay
with them was no bother & that he should only be focused on having fun.
❝How so? This town doesn’t seem to bad.❞
While Gus knew he wouldn’t be able to do anything extreme such as cliff diving, he
was positive that he’d find something to keep himself occupied. Whether that was
simply finding an activity to do at the beach, stroll around the stores in town, go for a
hike (which although harder was not impossible for him), or meet some new people.
After all, things were automatically l e s s boring if you had a friend there with you.
Saying a quick goodbye to Sue and Charlie & thanking them once again for allowing
him to stay with them over the summer, Augustus followed after Leah. Having a girl
hold the door for him was certainly a new expierence, however, that didn’t stop Gus
from thanking her profusely.
❝I prefer the sun but no, rain doesn’t bother me.
— Lead the way Miss Clearwater.❞
