[A/N]: Hi there! This is the prologue for my new story, Stay Young With Me, and I'm greatly looking forward to writing this fanfiction. This prologue is told in Lily Evans' point of view, however the story itself will be in 3rd person. I know it's short, but there's much more to come! Also with this story I will type what song I was listening while writing the chapter! Well here it goes...
[DISCLAIMER: Although no one in the Harry Potter series was even mentioned in the prologue, I still don't own Harry Potter]
Stay Young with Me
It seemed like my youth, my innocence had just been stripped away from me in this tainted dream. It had to be a dream, the end could not be like this; so blunt and unforgiving. But this was growing up, not a dream, an inevitable twist of fate no one could possibly predict. It had to be just yesterday where I was wishing for a successful future, a happy life, along with a stream of materialistic things to go along with that. Today I was just wishing for the promise of safety. Vulnerability is such a strange sensation. Knowing that life could leave you at any moment forces this numbing weight upon you that you cannot escape. But I knew closing my eyes would just allow hallucinations that render my greatest fears. It's almost humorous, the way the elders around you warn you not to wish your youth away. They didn't have to be elders to warn you of that though, they could just be people who were forced to grow up fast and face the treacherous world much before you did. I was the one to ignore this forewarning, and it led me to regret not treasuring my innocence before I stood here, where I am today.
I just wish I could stay young with you.
