Prologue

"Time changes everything."

People change, things change, situations change, feelings change.

Everything changes- everything in this world is dynamic.

"Every new beginning is some beginnings end."

You have to let go of the past to enjoy the present and look forward to a bright future.

And sometimes, you have to let go of something great to get something greater….

Year 1998

A seven year old Justin Russo was sitting at his study desk, reading about some first aid tips.

"Justin, honey, come have a look at what your sister has painted. Its bea-u-tiful!" Theresa called from the living room.

"Mom, I'm busy studying!" Justin yelled back from his room.

Honestly, he never understood why his parents had to fuss over Alex so much. What did she have that he lacked? He was smart, intelligent, responsible, serious- and everything else that parents look for in their kids, but Alex- she was clumsy, self-centered, nagging, annoying, and yet, she always got their parents attention! Why didn't they ever realize that Justin felt neglected- somewhat invisible?

Justin was finding it impossible to concentrate on his first aid box with all those negative thoughts in his mind. Suddenly, Alex came into his room. (List of things Justin hates about Alex: Alex Russo never knocks.)

"Hey Justin, have a look at my drawing." Alex chirped, sitting down on his bed without taking his permission..

"Alex, can't you see I'm busy?" Justin snapped, not looking up from the book.

She sat on the bed motionless, without saying a word. When he finally looked up at her, there were two tiny teardrops in the corner of those beautiful brown eyes. And Justin felt his heart ache. (List of things Justin hates about Alex: Alex Russo could always win over his heart through her tears)

"All right, fine, show me." Justin sighed in defeat.

Alex smiled her victorious smile and handed the picture to him.

Justin saw the picture. It was quite vague, considering Alex was just five. But he could make out two stick figures in the picture.

"Umm, Al, who are they?"

Alex giggled before replying- "That's me and you silly!"

And this is why everyone loves Alex so much!

Justin smiled brightly, before engulfing Alex in a hug. "Thank you Alex."

"No, thank you Justin."

"What?" Justin asked in confusion.

Alex smiled mischievously. "Those were your new crayons."

"Alex! You- Mom! Alex took my-"

"She knows."

"And?"

Alex shrugged, and Justin realized she got away with this AGAIN.

And there you go again…….

Year 2009

"Alex, can you pass me my hoodie please", Justin asked, leaning against the couch, reading a science magazine.

"Sure." Alex smiled, grabbing his hoodie from the chair in the dining space, and throwing it into the air so that it fell on the floor three feet away from him.

"Alex! That's not how you treat clothes!" Justin yelled, getting up and rushing to pick up his hoodie, dusting it with his hands, and placing it on the couch neatly.

Alex rolled her eyes. "Nope, that's how I treat you."

Time changes everything.

People change, situations change, feelings change.

But some things never change….

(A/N: that's the prologue. Chapter 1 will be up soon. Please give it a try. BTW, I'm going to start jalex 10 yrs after Justin finds out he's adopted, because things don't change that easily. I mean, if you find out you're adopted, will you suddenly realize that you're in love with your bro/sis? my point exactly. PLEASE REVIEW, PRETTY PLEASE. I review everything I read :P)

(BTW, Jayendra, if you're reading this, I'm from West Bengal, and my Hindi is horrible LOL.)
