Prologue
You might think it's strange to begin a story with an ending but to me, I believe all endings are just beginnings
The red and orange and yellow, autumn leaves were heavenly to look at, especially at the right moment. When the sun begins to rise and just starts to shine, the one special tree with the autumn leaves was brilliant.
It was located at a holy and sacred place, standing alone, where everyone could admire, but they didn't. People were too busy with their problems and conflicts that they don't notice the beauty around them.
Not many people noticed it at that special moment, for it was too early for people to be waking up, but she did. She always did.
A single tombstone could be seen just beneath the beautiful, giant willow tree, but was hidden from the world's eyes by the autumn leaves.
She would always remember and never forget. She would never make the same mistake she made before. Life's too precious to be wasting it away. She would always remember.
It was dawn again, the moment the sun would arise. She walked out of her lonely house, like she always did at this time, her breath becoming short because of the cold weather. She slowly made her way towards the location of the willow tree.
Today is not yesterday, nor tomorrow. Today was a day for grieving. Grieving all for her.
Tears could be seen glistening down from her green, rueful eyes and towards her pale, rosy cheeks.
She silently pushed away the autumn leaves from the cold, gray tombstone and stared long and hard at the inscription, for it read:

in ways no one else could have."
A/N: This chapter was designed to be short and confusing because it's the prologue. I hoped you guys liked it. I was going to write this as a one shot, with more details but I changed my mind. Like I said, feedback is greatly appreciated.
