Prologue

Disclaimer: Hey guys, I do not own the cast of Summerland or the story of Summerland. I do, however, own all the fictional characters, the story line and the title of the story, Why Can't I. Please, no stealing. However, I do not own the lyrics or song by Liz Phair called Why Can't I. Also, remember that this is FICTION and I made it up. Thanks!

Taylie Alyssa Kipp sighed as she watched out the window of her dad's dark blue Ford pick-up truck. Little droplets of rain ran down as thunder rolled in the distance. Taylie watched the drops as tears of her own fell. Her whole life was changing in a matter of days. She had lived enough change this past summer. She had lost her best friend and now she was moving. His family was everything to her. They were her second family when she couldn't handle hers anymore. His mom treated her like a daughter. When her mom and dad would fight both physically and verbally, she'd disappear to his house. He'd talk to her and make her feel better. Then God took them away from her. She hadn't seen him or talked to him all summer. She didn't know why it was so emotional for her. It was...indescribeable.
