Alex's POV

I don't know what else to do. I've had enough of what's was going on at home. Enough of my brother, enough of my parents, and even more, enough of Harper. I know she is my best friend, but I can't do it anymore. I can't live with her and all the love my parents have for her. Even my brothers now turn to her first before they turn to me. I AM THEIR SISTER, not her. I thought having Harper move in would be good, I'd always have my best friend around and my family would see some of her flaws. I thought maybe if my family saw her flaws, they'd love her less and I'd be less jealous of her. I thought with both of us together it would be neutral, but I was wrong because I had to work even harder to get attention from my own family when she moved in. They even love her boyfriend Zeke! I shouldn't be surprised though, of course they do. He's like a Justin clone. But enough is enough. I have to do this. They have Harper, they don't need me anyway. I guess I've always known this day would come, but till now, I had no place to go. It has entered my mind tons of times to do this, but finally the decision really hit me a few weeks ago when I found a place to go. All because my dad had me look into a little history.

Three Weeks Ago in the Lair

"Alright guys, today we are going to do something fun, we are going to do a history lesson." My dad Jerry Russo says as he walks into the lair, causing my little brother Max and I to release the groans we've been holding in since our older brother Justin told us it was time for our wizard lessons.

"Come on guys! This is awesome, who wants to be trying out a new spell when we could be learning about magic history? This. Is. Awesome." Justin says as he's practically jumping up and down on the sofa across from me. What a dork...

"I would! So SHUT-UP Justin!" I shoot him an angry look before quickly composing my expression to a pleading one as I look back at dad. "Dad, can't we just go back to working on that spell we were working on yesterday, with the fruit?"

My dad's cheeks flush red as he scratches his head. "We kind of can't... your mother told me that we aren't allowed to do anymore food spells, so I think it would be best if we stick to history."

"Can we at least eat some fruit while we learn some history?" Max says as he points to the bowl of fruit on the coffee table.

I try to hold in a laugh as dad looks at Max with an unbelievable expression. "Go ahead..."

"Yessss!" Max grabs a banana from the bowl and bites into it without another thought, I smile when I see Justin shaking his head at Max in disgust.

"Anyone else? No? Okay! So first off, I am NOT going to stand here and go on and on about wizard history Justin. Actually, I was thinking that maybe I would leave you three to do some research on your own for a change? And no, before you start groaning Alex, let me explain. I was thinking since I have told you about our family; my parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc. I think it is time we branch out and learn about some more of my family. Siblings of some of the relatives you know about, there are some amazing people in my family you are yet to learn about them." Dad says as he flashes us a perky smile.

"Wait? So you want us to research the dead relatives of our dead relatives?" How stupider could these wizard lessons get?

Dad nods as he pulls out some papers from a folder beside him. "Yes, precisely what I want you guys to do. Sounds fun right?"

No. I open my mouth to insult my dad's idea so he could cancel the assignment but am beat by Justin's excited self. "HECK YES IT DOES!"

I see dad giving Justin a strange expression before speaking. "Okay, whatever… So Justin, your great, great grandfather had a cousin named Adam DeLock. He was extremely smart and won the wizard competition in his family with the expectation of doing great things in his life. He was part of the Wizard Council for a while but later quit and was the first member of the Wizard Council to ever quit."

Of course Justin would get the dude who was on the wizard council. "This sounds interesting already! I am on it!" Justin quickly opens the spiral notebook in front of him and starts jotting down notes as dad hands him one of the papers from the folder. Justin takes the paper and scans it with a hungry look in his eyes.

"You... are such a dork."

"Alex, be nice!" Dad gives me a disproving look before turning his attention onto Max. "So now for Max, you will be doing research on your great grandfather's half-brother Matthew Wires. He had won the wizard competition but gave up his powers to turn himself into a circus clown for life. But no one knows if he really gave up his powers or if he just said he did. I thought you would be interested in his career path and might want to look into his circus life and what-not."

"That's a sick last name, wonder what his clown name is, maybe it's Wires the Clown!" Max's eyes light up as dad hands him one of the papers hesitantly.

"Sure… Umm, yeah... why don't you find out and get back to me on that…"

"Yeah! Thanks dad, this is gonna be SO Awesome!" Max opens his notebook and starts jotting down clown names.

"SEE! I am not the only one around here who isn't excited about this!" I glare at Justin as he looks at me with a victorious look. I'll wipe that look right off your face. I reach into my boot for my wand as I look at dad to make sure he isn't watching. I find him staring down at my boot with a disproving look. Dammit!

"Alex, hands out." He narrows his eyes at me as I take my hand out of my boot and show him both my hands in surrender. "Yours will be an interesting one. You will be doing some research on you great, great, great grandmother's sister Mary Alice Brandon. She was a brilliant wizard but lost the competition out of nowhere. Before she lost her powers she used a spell on herself that let her see into the future. After a while she was considered insane and sent to a mental institute. No one knows what happened to her after that because she was never seen again and there are no records of her death."

Justin gets a ex wizard council member, Max gets a clown, and I get a lunatic... WHAT?! "What is so interesting about her?! Have you seen that one movie... what was it... One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest? Some other lunatic from the hospital probably killed her or one of the evil nurses might have drove her to worse insanity than death before burying her somewhere."

I fold my hands over my chest and lean back in my chair. I look at Justin and see him looking at me with a look of astonishment. "How do you even know that? You don't read." Of course I don't read... but I did read that book out of boredom in detention. He doesn't have to know that though.

"Movie, duh."

"Well that is for me to know and for you three to find out! Alright, class dismissed. I want these done in a month so wizard training will be cut short to only half an hour a day to make time for doing research for this." Dad gives us a satisfied look as he closes the folder after pulling out the last piece of paper.

I don't know how is this supposed to help me with the wizard competition in any way but as as long as wizard training is cut short' it's all good!

"Alex, why are you smiling like that?" I look back at my dad and see him watching me with worry.

"Nothing dad, I am gonna go now and hang out in my room, bye." I quickly stand up and grab the last of the papers my dad had before exiting the room.

Back to Alex's POV

What surprised me was that within a few days when I had nothing to do I started to do some research for my assignment. At first I looked up information on the mental institute to find out about her death, but soon got bored of that. When I started researching Mary Alice, that's when it got interesting. I found that once I started, I couldn't stop. It was fascinating, she was fascinating. She was into fashion, was a great wizard but always made sure to make room for fun. All the guys loved her, all the girls envied her, and all the parents didn't know what to think of her. She got into trouble but always found ways to get out of it, and most importantly, she HATED rules. I love everything about her, and the more I found out about her, the more I wanted to be her and wished I could meet her. And even though I know she was loon, I couldn't stop, that was... until one day. One day I was looking up some pictures of Mary Alice on the wiz web and accidently forgot to put her last name, up came up a Mary Alice Cullen. My eyes almost bulged out when I saw that this Mary Alice Cullen looks just like the Mary Alice Brandon I was researching. The only difference was that Mary Alice Cullen has very pale skin and different-colored eyes... and unlike Mary Alice Brandon, she is very much alive. I found it so weird, and I knew I should have let it go, but I couldn't. Something made me want to know more.

After that, I stopped looking up Mary Alice Brandon and absorbed my time in finding out who this Mary Alice Cullen was. I found some high school and college records but nothing so current. I looked for days, finding information on Mary Alice Cullens who graduated from different schools all over the United States. But none of it made sense... they couldn't be the same person, could they? After a few days I started to lose hope, I started to consider that maybe this Mary Alice Cullen isn't even alive. One day as I reached another Google search page, a picture of the very same Mary Alice Cullen came up. This Mary Alice Cullen is a 16 year old high school student living in Forks, Washington. I wasn't sure whether to be happy or scared. How is it possible that this Mary Alice was everywhere but is only 16? My head thought up so many possibilities but they all made other questions rise up in my head. It just didn't make sense to me, who is this Mary Alice?

After a few days of hesitating I sent Mary Alice Cullen a Facebook request, to my delight, she accepted the next day. I took advantage of this, looking through the pictures of her family. My fascination for her rose, I found her family as amazing as her. They are all beautiful and absolutely perfect! The family is made up of seven people from what I've seen in the photos, all young but I can still tell who are the 'parents' and who are the teens. There are two older ones, a man and a woman, both beautiful with very young features. They are so gorgeous; I don't even know how to describe them. They dress mature, the woman in slacks and button-up shirts or fancy blouses while the man in khakis and button-up shirts, but they are so young, which is surprising since they live with the younger Mary Alice and four others teens. One of the four teens is a girl with blonde hair. She's as perfect as Mary Alice. Tall, lean, and perfect in every way, her body, her style, I can't stop looking at her photos because of her beauty. Her posture in the photos also makes it apparent that she is confident, which makes me more curious as to what she's like. The remainder of the teens are boys and are also as gorgeous as the blonde and Mary Alice. The first is blonde and skinny. He is gorgeous and has a simple but stylish fashion-sense. In almost all the photos of him he has Mary Alice beside him, they look close... intimately close. But in some of the photos he looks... uncomfortable. The second guy is a tall, well-built guy. Most of the pictures of him he has a hat on so I can't tell what color his hair is. But WOW, he had some muscles. By looking at some of his pictures, I can tell he loves to show them off. I like looking at his pictures as much as I like looking at Mary Alice's, he reminds me of a big fuzzy bear that would be fun to hug. The last is a younger guy than the rest; he is also skinny, but well-built like the other two guys. He has bronze hair and from most of the pics I've noticed, he has an amazing smile. He seems different from the rest, photogenic, but detached from the photos. He looks lost. Besides that one detail and the uncomfortable guy, they are all perfect. Everything about them, so perfect that all I want to is spend my days sitting on my computer looking them.

This leads me to today. I've had enough of my home, if I can call it a home. I have reached the height of my patience and today I am going to take action. I don't need any of them, I am ready and so are my things. All I have to do is wait for midnight when everyone is asleep then I can finally get away to a world that could feel like my own.

Hey! Review if you have the time please. This is my First time writing a fan-fiction and wouldn't want to continue the story if no one even wants to read it. And I am open to suggestions once I get more into the story. Will try to update frequently if people like it! ;)

*Update September 16th* Editing is being re-done. Like really re-done. I am going to remove the partial script format. I read somewhere that script format is not allowed, THOUGH I would like to point out that my story is kind of half and half! BUT I am changing it anyway. It will take a while and MAY slow down my posting. I don't know at this point but I do want to fix this. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know if you see any spelling/grammar errors. I want it to be perfect so I can go through the whole story and have NO errors. This is my anniversary gift to you all. A BETTER version of my story :)
