Chapter 1

Aly's POV

*alarm goes off*

I opened my eyes slowly as sat up on my bed. It's already one in the afternoon and I can see the sun is beaming as I looked out from my window.

*sigh*

Another unexciting day for me. What's new anyways? my life has been running on the same routine. It's been like this for 5yrs now. I'm not even surprised anymore. I've got nothing interesting going on in my life really. Aside from work I only eat and sleep most of the time.

My name is Alyssa Lyre Creer, a 24 y.o woman who up to this date is still single. Yes, I know what your thinking.. women around my age should probably be married, engaged and successful right? Sad to say I'm not anywhere close to. I live alone at a simple appartment near the rehab center I work in and though I'm a Physical Therapist I only earn enough to make ends meet.

During my teenage years I used to say to myself that only when I reach the age of 23 will I be open with the thought of marriage, that so I could focus more on my career while I can. Well that was the plan, but I guess the universe had other plans for me. I was fully convinced I'd still be in a relationship at my early 20's not to mention I had a great relationship going on back then but as it appeared I'm a bit off schedule now aren't I?

It's not like I actually planned to be single for the last 5yrs, I just haven't met someone for me yet.. but will there be one?

People might think I'm probably jealous with women having happy relationships but strange enough, I don't really care that much about finding love anymore.

Most of my friends and family are tell me to get a boyfriend already while I still can or else I'll miss out all the fun. They worry that I might not get married and grow old as a lonely women. They had even told me to just go have a child with whoever If I still have no one when I reach 27.

Can you imagine?! They're even fine even If I won't marry so long as I wouldn't be lonely in the future!! Like what?! That didn't even cross my mind for crying out loud, not even once!

At least not yet!

I mean..

Yes, I admit being single for too long can get a bit lonely but, in my case it gave me some kind of comfort. In a sense that I'm so used to being independent. And when you get used to that feeling you sometimes forget how warm it feels having someone to take care of you.

It wasn't always like this (plain,bland,boring) you see. I once had a carefree and romantic soul, someone who used to find warmth, comfort and happiness with someones embrace rather than my own. But all of that changed 5yrs ago.
