Prologue

I had been foolish to think that running away from my problems would make them go away. I should have known that they would all catch up to me sooner or later. But maybe I didn't mind. Maybe I just wanted to escape from everything for as long as I could. I deserved to be happy for a little while didn't I? I deserved to be with someone who loved me and would always love me. I just didn't know whom. I fell in love twice before I left La Vie. I loved both Trevor and Derek. I think I acted too quickly by leaving. The one person who was partly responsible for my break up with Trevor I brought with me. I should have thought about this. Why did I always have to hurt the people I loved the most? Would I ever be able to have a relationship without hurting them? I wanted the simple life, and I had it for a while but then my problems caught up to me, sooner rather than later.
