Prologue
Alexis P.O.V
When I was little, everything was so simple. Boys were considered icky, the only people you really loved were your family, and your best friend was the girl who gave you a cookie at snack time. Growing up I lived in a small neighborhood with my mom, dad, and older sister. But my parents got divorced when I was only five and my sister seven. Mom was born and raised in New York, the city that never sleeps and the place mom and me moved to after the divorce. Dad on the other hand was from England, where my sister lived throughout a majority of our childhood. He was generally very firm while my mother was a free spirit. When our parents seperated my dad proceeded to take my sister, Alex, to England while I stayed with my mom. Every other summer I would travel to England to spend some quality sister time with Alex, and she would come to America in the summers in between. Life for me was very odd and slightly unpredictable, but one thing that kept its pace was my comic books. Now here I am (still loving comics), just graduating high school and on a plane headed to London for summer vacation. At that moment I didn't know that this trip would be turning my life upside down.
