Prologue: Remember Me
"If there's a person I could be
Then I'd be another memory…"
- My Chemical Romance, The Only Hope for Me is You Alone
Memories are something that come naturally to us. How well we're able to hold on to them is an ability that depends on who you are, or what the memory consists of.
Some memories are ingrained in our minds, our hearts, our very souls, such as the face of a lover, or that one life changing quote you know by heart.
Others we label as unimportant, toss them out of our minds, and move on with our lives.
There are light childhood memories that fade into darkness as we grow into adults and no longer have time to think back to these days, and there are dark, horrid happenings that we wish we could forget, but will forevermore lurk in the depths of our minds.
Personally, I'm the type who can't seem to forget anything. I could tell you the answers to the crossword puzzle in last month's newspaper off the top of my head. I could tell you exactly the last time I spoke to my mother, who died when I was six, down to the minute. I could tell you exactly what video game my brother was playing the minute I met him for the first time, and every note to the last song I danced to with Mello.
I could tell you all of this and more, which is what my intention is with this, whatever this may be. Call it a novel, a memoir, a biography, even an autobiography, I couldn't care less. All that matters to me is that people know, because I've lost too much to have my story forgotten in the shadows of the Kira Case.
I guess this is the part where I give you the warning, huh? Well, this isn't exactly a happy story, so if you hated Romeo and Juliet, you might wanna find something else to do. If you like tragedies, then stick around, because this is one hell of a story.
My name, though it has changed many times in 19 years, is Abigail Jeevas, and this is my story. These are my memories.
