Prologue

Falling in love. Falling in love. They say you only find true love once. That when you find the perfect person you'll know. You'll know they're the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. But, they never say anything about the type of people who fall to fast, who believe the one they're with is the one. The type of people that only want one thing. To be loved. They want to be loved. That's all they need. That's all they hope for. That's all the desire. So when they find someone, they pour their hearts and souls into the relationship and end up getting hurt when their mate decides it's over. There's only a percentage of people like that. About 27% of people end up getting hurt over love. The other 73% are fine. They see it as life experience. They learn from their mistakes. They learn from their relationships. So that the next one, will be better. So that they wont make the same mistake twice. But for those intense people, they always make the same mistake. They fall too fast. My name is Alex Russo and I'm part of that 27% of people. It's hard at times, I try not to fall to fast but my emotions always get the best of me. It's painful. I don't even know how many times my broken heart can be messed with and still be expected to keep beating.

"I'm sorry, Alex. I think we're better off as friends. We can stay friends right?" Dean Moriarty whispered slightly. Friends? Yeah, right. That's what they all say.

"Yeah." I slightly murmured trying to hold back the tears. He looked at me with soft eyes, feeling sorry for me. I bet he's thinking, 'I never even said I loved her, and she's acting like we were engaged.' I thought he was the one. He made me laugh; he treated me like a princess and with respect. I really did think he was the one. But, the truth is he never really gave me a reason to believe he was the one. But as usual, I had to go headfirst and give myself a reason to believe.

"Okay, good. I'm glad we're on the same page." He watched me as I casually looked down trying to avoid his eyes. I could tell he was still looking at me because I felt his eyes watch my every move. He shifted slightly then sighed. "I'll see you at school, Russo." And just like that, he was gone. I knew that would probably be the last time I would have a full conversation with him. It always ended like that, on the same page. I tried to force a tiny smile as he looked back and gave me a small wave. I stood there motionless, trying to recap all that happened. I watched him turn the street corner and he disappeared. In just a tiny moment, my whole world was gone. I turned my head to the side, and before I knew it little sobs were escaping my mouth. Tears flowed freely, as I tried wiping them away. I couldn't even breathe right, the sobs were taking too much out of me, and eventually I found myself in my bed wrapped around the blankets, trying to figure out what happened. As soon as I remembered I shook my head trying to let go of that memory. What I would give, to just take it back. To leave it were it was and never have to be reminded of it again. I stood up and walked around aimlessly, trying to distract myself with something to avoid the memory.

As I climbed downstairs, I noticed there wasn't any noise. I looked around trying to find one member of my family. They were gone. I walked over to the kitchen and pulled out a glass from the cabinet. I poured water in the glass then walked towards the counter and found a note.

Alex,

Your dad and I went next door with the boys to greet our new neighbors. You're welcome to join us if you like. If you don't there's food in the microwave just heat it up and you should be fine.

-Mom.

I winced when I read the line 'You should be fine.' I wanted to scream, "No mom I will not be fine!" But I had enough strength to move myself towards the microwave and press the buttons.

As soon as the microwave beeped letting me know my food was ready I walked over to the terrace and set up a table. I took one bite of my lasagna and sighed, I felt like crying all over again. A tiny sob escaped my mouth as I tried to pull myself together. I clutched at my heart trying to prevent myself from falling over from the pain. Another sob escaped, then another, and another. Pretty soon I was balling over the rail on the terrace. The tears were flowing so hard the collar of my jacket was wet. That's when I heard it. One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard, singing a song that I thought was just for me.

I tried edging myself closer to where the song was coming from, hearing it better and better the closer I got.

"So hold on another day

Cause love is on its way

You'll find it's gonna be ok-."

A few scribbles where heard when he paused. I took a moment to try to save the melody in my head.

"Cause love is on its way

Its alright you'll find a brighter day

Cause love is on its way."

I gasped slightly when I heard the sound of a screen door open, I tried to move but my legs stood in place as a shadow emerged from the darkness across from me. I looked straight at the shadow as it stayed still.

I could smell the fragrance of wet pavement as the wind around me started to pick up. The shadow stayed in the same position, while I kept my eyes on it. I could feel the shadows eyes on me watching my every move as I walked closer to it. Slowly I started to make out the shadow, the closer I got. It seemed as if when I moved closer so did the shadow.

I tilted my head, as soon as the shadows face was revealed. He was so beautiful. Compared to him I was probably the least attractive person in the world. His eyes stayed on me as I fidgeted with my clothes and hair trying to seem like I was at least descent. I heard the front door open from inside my house and turned around. But when I looked back he was gone. I rubbed my eyes, thinking they were too swollen from the crying and that's why I couldn't see him anymore, but I looked again and he was gone.

He was my entire world for about five minutes. He made me forget about Dean, about my emotions and even about myself, because for those five whole minutes he was my everything.
