AN1: Okay Everyone! Yours is first! As I said in the author's note before school ended, I am redoing all of my stories, and since I have the most people following or favoriting this story I decided to reward you guys with doing this story first. Well sort of first! I went ahead and rewrote Your Sister, Oh! My Mistake. I renamed it simply Mistake. But here I am and have I got a surprise for you. I added a prologue and I kind of wanted to make the chapters longer and let the story take longer to play out. So instead of this being simply a one digit (0-9) chaptered story the chapters will probably number to either the late teens or the early twenties. Maybe even get up into the late twenties or early thirties.

AN2: Aren't you all just so excited!? I know that I am. So I am going to go ahead and delete the chapters that I have right now and upload this and the next one will be up tomorrow sometime. I want to give you guys time for comments and me enough time to answer them before I post next. But if it doesn't happen that way, I will adjust and answer and and all questions posed to me in the chapter after that...

AN3: I can't believe it took me so long to add some detail to what I already had. And yet I am not done yet. I am very sorry for the delay. I also went on the annual Ft. Bragg trip this year. A week of relaxation at the ocean was just what I needed to rejuvenate. And now I have a job interview coming up tomorrow, so if any of you actually read this send up a pray for me that I do well or wish me luck! And tons of other stuff this week as well. Anyways, here comes the disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. I even got some of the prologue from reading a few Nicholas Sparks books, Dear John, The Best of Me, and At First Site. Yeah! Creativity points for me! But that is all...

R&R please!

Prologue

What is love? Can someone fall in love in an instant? Is love at first site absolute and true? Or is love like a spark that one day catches fire to produce a slow burn that consumes everything in its path until there is nothing left? Is it even possible to fall completely and irrevocably in love? And what does it mean to fall in love, to truly love another? Does it mean to take of yourself, of your heart and soul, the best parts of you, and willingly give it to someone else? For Haley to do this she would have to let go of her fear of what might happen, of what did happen. She would have to take the risk and put her heart in his hands. Hopefully he won't crush it.

And she desperately wants to trust him, this compassionate and truly one of a kind man. But would it really be worth it? Her heart and her mind are telling her that, 'Yes, it would definitely be worth it.' That's what it's all about, anyway. That feeling, it's all anyone ever could ask for; the feeling of knowing that someone will be there for you, that feeling of joy, of ecstasy. There is just such an enchantment of knowing someone just as they know you. She has seen it. And that is what Haley desperately wants.

But is this man, the one that crashed into her life so suddenly, really the one: the one that every little girl talks and dreams about meeting one day. Her true soul mate?

Does she really believe that there is only one person out there for everyone? According to a comic playwright of old, long before the time of Shakespeare, humans originally had four arms, four legs, and a single head. But two faces. It was thought at the beginning of time that these humans were strong and threatened the Gods. Zeus, the father of all the Gods, then came up with a solution. They would split the humans in half to wander the earth, seeking their other half until the end of their days.

Now was she supposed to believe that this one person was with her at the beginning of time? And that they were meant to be together? She wasn't so sure on that front, but she did know that what she was feeling was happiness. Happiness in finding the one man that made her world go round. Was it possibly, love? She thought, 'It might just be.' She just hoped that he felt the same way. She was sure he did, with the way he looked at her each and every passing day, the way he cared for her, the way he would go out of his way to make her feel better after a rough day, the way he would give Jamie the attention he so desperately craved, the way that he willingly invited them both into his heart and never let them go, holding on for dear life.

And it would most definitely be worth the risk.
