Hey guys this is my very first attempt in writing a big story...I hope you like it and please do comment...

PROLOGUE:

"Ana are you sure about this?" Kate asked as she looked at me sitting on the kitchen island with red puffy eyes. I looked lost and broken.

"Yes Kate. This is the only way out." I replied avoiding eye contact.I was a mess and had not slept in days. My mind was just not working.

"No,Ana, it's not. Running away from this city, this life will not solve anything. You need to face your demons. I'm sure Charles wouldn't want this for you. He had always wanted you to be happy."Kate persisted.

"But I can't be happy Kate."I snapped."I have lost the love of my life. My everything. This city reminds me of him, of our time together. Those happy times which I can never have back again. I can't be here, not with those memories. All this is too hard for me. I wish you would understand."

Tears started flowing freely down my cheeks as I remembered that fateful day. My wedding day. I was happy at last. After a long struggle in life I had met Charles and we were quick to fall in love. It was May 3rd when we were finally getting married. But I guess fate had other plans for I lost Charles that day. Lost him forever.

"Oh,Ana"Kate said as she engulfed me in a big hug."It's okay baby girl. I do understand. We'll do what you want. We will leave this city ASAP. okay?"

"We?"I asked pulling away from her.

"Yes,we. You didn't actually think that I would let you do this alone now. Did you?" she looked at me with a raised eyebrow and a smirk.

"But Kate what about your life? You can't leave all you have here for me." I tried reasoning.

"Leave what exactly?" Kate countered"I am anyway leaving my job as I am unhappy there and I don't have a family here. You are the sister I never had. You are my family Ana and I love you. So I will be wherever you are. No arguments." she had by this time dragged me to the living room where the TV was turned on and was now giving me her famous don't-mess-with-me look.

"Okay. But you are impossible." I smiled finally. I feel so loved in her presence. She is my lifeline.

"I know."she winked." So where do you wanna go Ana?"

I looked toward the television which was switched on to a news channel where a particular breaking news was being shown. Although the news did not catch my attention, the place highlighted sure did. I turned to Kate who was eagerly waiting for my answer.

"How does Seattle sound?" I asked smiling.

"Like a new beginning."

"Perfect. So Seattle it is."
