PROLOGUE

"Every person experienced a stage in their lives properly dubbed as childhood. They say this is the stage wherein you appreciate and enjoy life the most.

You wake up each morning waiting for the next episode of your television program, go out and play non-stop with your friends around the neighborhood,

eat your favorite food personally prepared by your mom and then the day ends and your parents tuck you in at night. Your mom asks how your day went

and she's at your side reading fairytales for your heart's delight.

I read the fairytales all by myself. I don't need someone to read them for me and even if I do, I don't have a choice but to force myself to learn how

to read because I don't have someone who's willing to read these stories for me.

I don't believe in magic and happily ever after.

Ugly ducklings turned into magnificent swans. Poor girls becoming princesses. If there's such thing as a happy ending then why did I grow up having only

my father by my side? If there was a genie inside a magic lamp who can grant you 3 wishes, why can I still see kids begging for food on dimly lit streets?

There is no such thing as Neverland and being forever young.

The truth is I was never a kid. I've always had responsibilities on my shoulders even as a kid.

I've learned to accept this fact. Be realistic and work hard to achieve your goals. School was my priority. I wanted to excel and be recognized. I

thought my friends and achievements were enough. That's when I met him. For the first time in my life I am trying to excel in an area

that I know I am the weakest: Love."

Author's Note: Welcome to my second story. *claps* It's my first attempt to write a prologue. I've missed writing so much! I'm still extending my gratitude for the success of my first story "I am Edward Cullen's Fiancée." If you haven't read it, I encouraged you to do so and reviews for that story are still welcome. I'm crossing my fingers for this story. Hope you'll like. Happy holidays everyone. Let's all be merry. =)

P.S.I haven't planned on posting this story until summer but who cares about my plan. I don't know how often I can update specially when school is back but I am hoping you guys can still check this story out. I'll just do what I can. God bless us all.
