1. Prologue

Prologue

I've always been told that everything exists for a reason. I had no idea what they had meant until the incident happened. It was all over the news. I lived in a world I thought was happy, but just like all things…the happy moments came to an abrupt and disturbing end.

It's been years since the incident occurred. My memory of it have since been foggy and impossible to make out. Two entire years of my life have been erased. I get hints all around my house every now and then. A sister I never had. A mother that abandoned all sense of care. A father that works late on purpose. Siblings that will avoid me as if I were the plague. It's all normal to me now. I wish I could remember, but every attempt just leads back to questions.

"Who am I?" I will ask myself.

He always says in response, "I am me."

"Who is me?" I ask again.

He responds, "you are me."

"Where am I?" I ask.

He will say, "where I am."

Ever since my middle school days ended, I've given up school life in my hometown. I believed it was time for a change in scenery. A new place, a nice life, a new me. I fade into the dark and a different me emerges. Almost as if I never existed.

For everyone else, life goes on. Not a day out of place and not a second ever wasted. But for me, my life ended as soon as I left. But how was I supposed to know that meeting those two would ever bring me back?

…

I wonder how this story would've ended if I had stayed? Perhaps I'll find out in another life.
