Prologue

I am Ava Smith. Life with my grandparents was quite peaceful.

Living in the outskirts of the town, hanging out with my friends, surrounded by kind natured and simple minded people, enjoying my walk around with grandfather and coming back home to enjoy grandma's delicacy was what I was used to- what I actually loved.

I couldn't believe how my simple life would turn around so much in just a matter of few days. Losing both of my grandparents one after another and that too within a month was too much for me. I couldn't bear to leave the place I once called home neither was I able to spend another night there. All alone, with just the memories to accompany me now.

No. I wasn't alone. But even though I said it, somewhere it didn't sound as convincing to me.

I remember seeing those two people during my grandparents funeral.

My aunt and uncle. I knew they were my blood relatives- my only relatives left now. We didn't exactly interact a lot but I remember their faces from when I was very young. But that was all. I hardly remember seeing them ever again as I grew up.

Now I was going to live with them and my three other cousins.

I don't even know what is more painful. Leaving all those carefree and happy memories behind, or to continue with the knowledge that the main source of my happiness is no longer there.

Am I disappointed to leave behind literally my whole life to somewhat start afresh or am I more devastated by the fact that my grandparents have left me; of what could have been if I didn't leave and continued to stay at my home that is empty now, housing only the memories of what was.

I am supposed to start my new life after I move to the main country side. Focus on my life, my future. Be surrounded by and deal with people whom I barely know. This all just seems... exhausting.

I feel more worn out as the day passes by but what I never expected was to meet the one person who would make a difference in between all of that. Someone who would help me walk out of the heartbreak and darkness that was beginning to engulf me.

How do I describe what it feels like?

To wake up everyday knowing there is someone who cares for you more than you could ever do for yourself.

I tried. I really did try hard to avoid him but there's just something that pulls me to him.

I want to do all that I can to be the only person who controls my life. Now that I have again found a beautiful reason to fight for what's worth, I would give it my all.

Do I regret it? Do I regret leaving everything left of my past to come forward and be able to meet this person. I think the answer might be quite obvious.

It's not all roses and rainbows. We do have our fair share of obstacles to overcome in the path that we have chosen for ourselves.

But despite all the dangers lurking around us that threaten to tear us apart, I would continue to fight.

We would fight. For us.
