[Twilight] Bright sunshine

It was raining again, and I opened my eyes in a daze.The window with the stone platform is full of the crisp sound of rain, and the old-fashioned stereo in the room is still on. I forgot to turn it off last night.The stereo is left behind by Jason Miller, the father of the body.He loves any music with beautiful melodies, and he has collected a lot of classic European and American music CDs, which are densely packed in specific wooden CD boxes, and a considerable part of them are randomly stuffed on Emma Miller's bookshelf.

The couple's interests and hobbies are in line with the tastes of the American middle class. They love music books, like to hold small parties, like wine and beautiful china plates, and go to a decades-old restaurant in Washington state once a week, wearing formal suits Go dancing in the music square with the little dress.Hospitable, kind-hearted, compassionate, sponsors an orphanage, often donates books and clothing.

Jason has the habit of keeping a diary, and Emma has the habit of keeping bills.I know their financial expenses and income, and their affairs are all because of the diaries, reading notes and bills left by these two people, so that I, the person in charge of cleaning up, saw the fragmentation of the couple's life.

When Charlie and I moved from the central city of Washington State to Forks, a small town on the edge of Seattle, I sorted out a lot of things by myself.Charlie is a careless person. When it comes to moving, he still drives a rented red pick-up truck. He puts some more expensive things, electrical appliances, and some necessities and clothes into the car.

Because the house is not going to be sold, Charlie wants to wait for me to grow up before handing over the two-story villa, which is worth more than 30 US dollars, to my own disposal.What the United States buys are permanent land use rights, and the private property in the capital world is perfectly protected, so I don't have to worry about the house being taken back because the useful life has expired.Large furniture is placed in the house and covered with a dust cloth.

And I sorted out many things that Charlie ignored, including hundreds of genuine CDs, various original books on three shelves, Jason's diary, Emma's violin, a family pistol, and treasures in the cabinet wedding dress.

I also found lots of Claire's dolls, candy-colored dresses, and a few homework and picture books.These I carefully put away in boxes and brought them to Forks.

I like this family very much, so I don't want to lose many things easily, or put them in this house that is about to go silent.I long for the life that is alive, and I wish I could keep these things alive.

So in Fox's house, I continued Jason's habit of stuffing some CDs on the bookshelf, which was messy and warm.There is a family portrait of the three of them by his bedside, and on the wall is an abstract painting that Claire scribbled when he was a child.

I don't shy away from the topic of death, and I don't shy away from facing the Miller family. Fate is a wonderful thing.I've never met them, but now I'm their only continuation of life.I don't hate this feeling, and I don't reject being a girl named Claire. There are always things in life that must be done.I am still me, but with an added responsibility in my life to remember this family.

Getting up from the bed, the quilt is light and thick, and the material is a very comfortable cotton wool.I went to Olympia to buy it. It looks thick, but the cover is not as heavy as it looks.The temperature in Fox is more than ten degrees Celsius even in summer, so those who are afraid of the cold can only prepare long-sleeved shirts and down jackets all year round.

I was too lazy to fold the quilt, the quilt was loose and messy on the bed, and I ran to the window with bare feet.The sky outside the window was gloomy and heavy, the whole town was covered by heavy rain, and the lawn in front of the house was full of puddles.There is a continuous forest in the distance, and the towering trees are like ancient long columnar fossils, stiff and mysterious.Emerald green is always the same theme, indifferent to deep, too delicate dark and light green collocation, it always gives people a lonely and delicate aesthetic feeling after staring at it for a long time, so beautiful that it does not seem like a real thing.

The song played in the stereo is Sagin Stevens' Because I Love You. The thin guitar flows out from someone's slender fingers, accompanied by the unhurried drumbeat, the warm singing seems to come from you Slowly come out of the dream that just fell asleep.

The pouring rain outside the window couldn't stop the music from warming up the room, and I hummed along softly, my voice hoarse from just waking up.

Accompanied by the singing, I ran into the bathroom and began to tidy myself up. I often don’t look in the mirror because I don’t want to see my excessively fair skin.That kind of white is whiter than most white people, very unhealthy.Although Charlie once reassured me that she was beautiful, as amazing as a pearl dropped into clear water.It was nothing more than a consolation, and when I was diagnosed with a rare disease, this excessive pallor kept reminding me that I was just a patient.

Charlie is very worried that I will be hit by the disease. He is so bad at expressing emotions, but he will pay attention to my emotional changes very keenly, and then encourage me with cute words.For example, Claire, you are always beautiful, you are the best child I have ever seen, even if you can't see the sun, Fox is your forever home.

I celebrate that Fox has been cloudy and rainy for most of the year. I don't know what happened to my skin. After the car accident, it started to show problems that I can't accept the sun.The doctor found that the formation of my melanocytes was slower than that of ordinary people, and I could not form good protection under the strong ultraviolet rays. If I accidentally came into contact with strong sunlight, I would be burned. It was really like vampire disease, but I have seen vampirism patients, I think my disease is pretty good.

It does not affect your daily life, just be careful not to be exposed to strong ultraviolet rays.

I tidied up my pale blond curls, I remember it was dark blond at first, but it has faded over the years.This makes me doubt the doctor's diagnosis. I have never heard of any disease that causes dark hair to fade due to the slow formation of melanin.With pale skin and long light blond hair, and I often wear some dark clothes that are not fancy, when walking in Fox Town, people often mistake me for a thin ghost.

Wearing a thin sweater and a long-sleeved light brown long coat, I am more afraid of the cold than many people. Even in late May, I must always prepare warm clothes.I think there is no summer in Fox on the Olympic Peninsula, and the temperature here will always stay in the dark and humid winter.

Turning off the stereo, putting on my shoulder bag, I hurried downstairs, the house is an old house.Back then, Jason stayed in Forks for Emma, ​​and this was the house they remodeled with their own hands.The indoor area is more than 300 square meters, divided into upper and lower floors, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study and a good kitchen.The living room is next to the semi-open kitchen downstairs, and the lawn outside the door also belongs to this house.

The building materials are stone in the local forest and southern pine wood. The design drawings of the entire house were drawn by the husband and wife before they were handed over to the licensed designer for signature, and then reported to the relevant departments for approval.

I like the design style of this house very much. It is eclectic and full of highlights. It is completely designed to create a warm and comfortable family.Apart from gradually stuffing more and more things into the house these years, I have never thought of changing this place, although living alone is a bit empty and wasteful.

After drinking a bottle of milk, I checked the time and found that I was about to be late, so I pulled the raincoat at the door and put it on.When I opened the door and saw rainwater everywhere, I walked into the rain without any hesitation.My Ford is in the garage behind the house. The school is about [-] minutes away from here. If I don’t have my own car, there will be no school bus here, let alone a bus. Thinking about going to school last time is a luxury.

I haven't taken the driver's license test yet, maybe it will be easier to get this driver's license when I'm [-] next year. Now, in order to prevent Charlie from driving his police car every day, I can only ignore the driver's license issue and drive on the road by myself.My driving skills are absolutely passable, and I only drive when I go to school every day, and I basically don’t drive it at ordinary times, so as to avoid more opportunities to be caught by the patrolling police here.

There is a personal mailbox in front of the door. I opened it with the key and reached for it, and took out a thick envelope.Seeing the familiar black logo above, I couldn't help but smile.I stuffed the envelope into the shoulder bag, zipped it up, and after going out for a while, the waterproof dark yellow boots were covered with a lot of muddy water.

There is only one school in Fox, which is integrated with small, medium and high schools, and there is no university.The school does not seem to fit the majestic and majestic style of the forest and mountains here. All you can see is that it is placed next to the road, and there is no unique style of supporting rooms at all. The dark maroon brick wall looks bleak in the heavy rain.

The air was very humid from the rain, and my wheels splashed countless brown muddy water when I stopped in reverse.I'm not late, but I'm early.Apart from my lonely second-hand Ford, only one Aston V12 Vanquish stopped at almost the same time as me in the remote and simple dirt parking lot.

Thanks to Charlie's order of men's magazines, it took me a couple of glances to confirm that the car was the flagship model Asmartin launched last year.This kind of luxury sports car suddenly appeared in the Fox town in the primeval forest like a ghost without warning. I was the first to feel no envy, but an uncomfortable weirdness.It was as if a luxurious million-dollar sports car suddenly appeared in the open space of a slum, making people at a loss what to do.
