What is love?

Cornelia yawned as she stretched her arms and looked out the small round window. She could just about make out the airport they were about to land on. Cornelia and Lillian had gone off to California; this was their place to start a new life.

A few hours later Cornelia and Lillian came out of the airport to be greeted by the hot, sunny weather. She managed to book a place at a hotel and stayed there for a few days. Since Cornelia was 18 now she could find a full time job and send Lillian to school. So Cornelia looked everywhere, but was having no luck in finding anything job.

One day Cornelia sat at a park near the hotel. She had looked everywhere and couldn't find anything to do; she began to have doubts about moving here all alone. This frustration made her cry, she was feeling more tired each day, she was running out of money and she still had to find a school for Lillian to go to. How could she be so stupid and come to a place she has never been to and try to settle down here. How did she ever think of such a stupid idea?

"Um…excuse me dear are you alright?" Her thoughts were interrupted by a kind voice.

Cornelia looked up and found a worried looking face. It seemed she was an old woman, even at such old age you could tell she must have been very beautiful when she was young. She had bright blue eye and short curly grey hair…it seemed to remind Cornelia of her mother.

"I'm sorry dear…but may I ask why are you crying?" the woman smiled at Cornelia.

"Well…I'm just in a lot of problems…that's all", Cornelia started to feel a bit dizzy.

The woman still looked quite worried and sat down next to Cornelia.

"In problems…is there anything I can help with?" The woman asked.

Cornelia weakly smiled at the woman and was about to reply to her, but before she could everything went black…

To be continued very soon…
