Chapter 1
It rained that day but rain is always expected on sad days like this one in the UK. A group of around twenty people stood near the newly dug grave paying their respects to the young woman who would occupy it for the rest of time. Silent tears slid down the faces of the majority of people watching as the coffin was lowered into the crowd and the final words were spoken to give the deceased's soul to the afterlife. At the front of the group right next to the grave stood a young man. He was tall, reaching a healthy six foot two, with coal black hair and stunning blue eyes. His eyes followed the grave as it was placed into the ground and then he politely conversed with the guests who had attended the funeral fighting back the tears he felt for his loss. As the final guest departed and the grave diggers arrived to fill up the hole he walked back to the grave and placed a small silver ring encrusted with diamonds on top of the coffin. "She will be glad to have that with her". The voiced startled him and he quickly spun around to see his friend stood just behind him, her brown hair blowing with the wind even though parts of it where plastered to her face thanks to the rain which still refused to stop. "You really did love her didn't you?". The question took him by surprise and he stared for a while into the sparkling green eyes of the woman before him. He had thought that his feelings for the deceased had always been made clear to everyone who knew them. "She was my world. What more can I really say?". " Nothing I suppose, but you have someone else who needs to be your world now. He would have been hers as well". She was right of course and he knew it, but the idea of raising a child without the help of his beloved fiancé was a thought that scared right down to his core. He hated the idea that his son would never know his mother, that his son would not understand just how special she was. As if reading his mind the woman moved to look at the grave before speaking, "you can tell him all about her and he will know exactly how amazing she was". At this she turned and started to walk away from the cemetery. Before she got too far away she turned and looked at him. He looked so lost stood in the rain by himself, she wondered how he would survive the death of his fiancé but deep down she knew he would and she knew as well that she would be their everyday to help him and his son.

It was raining in Bristol as Naomi Campbell sat at her window looking down at the street. She remembered this day every year. It was the day she had left her. The day her mum had come home and told her that Hannah would not be coming back home from the hospital. She had hated her mum for weeks after that, blaming her for not making Hannah come back to her. She had known deep down that it wasn't her mums fault but she had hated her none the less. A single tear ran down her cheek as he remembered the accident that had caused her sister to end up in the hospital in the first place, the car accident that she had almost been involved in had Hannah not been there to push her out the way of the oncoming car and then the blood that had seemed endless coming from her sister. "Stop it" she said out loud. She would not remember that, it had been seven years ago. She heaved herself away from the window and the rain and looked at her room. Everything she had was scattered all over the place. Looking at it she sighed. Tomorrow was her first day at her new college. Roundview College, even the named sounded cheesy to her. Half the stuff she needed was buried under heaps of stuff she had used at some point during the holidays and she started to shift through the stuff on the floor and get prepared for college in the morning.
