Preface

Everything is broken. I can feel all the pain now. The pain is worse than ever. I wish this would end forever.

Chapter One

Aurora Smith

I can still feel the pain on my face after my father slaps me so hard. I don't know why he hates us so much. He never treats us like her daughters ever since Cosette was born. He wasn't like that before my mother died. Ever since my mother died everything change he push himself every day at work. Sadness always comes here at this house and it always never leaves. I suddenly hear a knock on my door.

"Aurora, dear are you ok?" Gran asked while still knocking at my bedroom. "Yeah, I'm ok." I answer. "Are you sure?" she asked again.

"I'm ok I just need to be alone."

"Ok," she sighs then leaves.

I look outside the window and see my sister playing with Bear. I sighed and pick up my violin. I always feel relax when I play my violin. The music goes sweeter and loud. Suddenly the door open it slams very loud that everyone in the house stop. My dad grabs my violin and smashes it on the floor. It suddenly breaks my heart and tears flow in my eyes. I ran pushing him to stop.

"Stop! Stop! What the crap is wrong with you!" I shouted at him.

"Can't you understand what I told to you that you're not playing that crap?"

"This crap you're talking about," I pointed the violin. "Its mom's so this is crap, a junk?"

He was silent in moment then slaps me again.

"Young lady in this house, one plays any instrument, okay?"

I nodded then he leaves. Then my sister, Cosette is at my side.

"What have he done to you?" she said touching my cheek."It's nothing," I said. "It's nothing? How many time have he hit you? You know it's me; it's my entire fault I shouldn't live in this world. Mom wouldn't die because of me and he wouldn't be like that." She started to cry. "No, it isn't your fault." I said catching her tear. "Come on we have school." I kissed her red hair.

"Is it fun to be a freshman?" Cosette asked as we got in the car.

"I don't know, Cosette. Are you nervous?"

"No," she nervously answered. I giggle at her. "What are you laughing about?" She asked again. "Nothing," I answered.

"Have you fallen in love?"

I suddenly remember Andrew Lewis, my childhood friend. We used to play in our garden but then my father and his became enemies. He was my first crush.

"Hey! Hey! AURORA! We're at school now and you got to answer my question."

"I don't know!" I got down in the car. "Now Cosette be nice to others, ok?" I said to her kissing her forehead. "What if they aren't nice?" she asked. "Don't worry everything will be fine." I touch her cheek. "Ok," she sighed. Then she wave goodbye as I watch the car fade.

So back in reality, I never been popular in my previous schools even I'm rich. I never made real friends actually those friends that I had were using me to buy things that they want. I never found a real friend. I remember Andrew's promise to me before he left. He said he will come he will find a way and then everyday I would wait for him. Every night I cry because he break his promise, but I'm still hoping he will come.

My first class is biology, one of my hated subjects. Agh! I wish this day would end, suddenly the bell rings. I rush to walk in biology.

I was a bit late in biology but lucky the teacher is not in the classroom. All the lab tables were filled but one. Next to the window. I notice a flame hair guy is sitting next to that single open seat. I walk right to him.

"Is this seat taken?" I asked him.

"No." He smiled.

I set my book on the black-topped table and took my seat. I didn't look at him but I notice him staring at me.
