Nora's POV

It's honestly weird how one moment can change your entire life. When I was younger, living happily with my parents, I never even imagined that one day they won't be here anymore. I never thought of that.

Before I could, they were snatched away from me. One moment we were a little happy family and the next moment, they're gone. Leaving me alone in this cruel world.

The place I called my home, in one moment, it was a crime scene. Surrounded by useless detectives and the people looking at the scene with either pity in their eyes for what happened or scared that this might happen with them.

That day, my mind was everywhere, I had no idea where to go, whom to go to, I wanted my mom to wake me up and rub her arms on my back and tell me it was just a nightmare and none of it actually happened but she didn't.

When I stayed at the church, again, I didn't think about the future. I didn't even think that one day I'll have to leave from there, again left alone in this world filled with cruel people. And all it took was one moment.

It made me realise the importance of having someone by  your side, having someone to shield you from the rest of the world. Of having parents.

And all I wish now is to go back time, run and hug them tight and cry in their arms until I had no tears left and tell them how much I love them. But I can't.

Because they're gone.

The incident is still as fresh in my mind as though it had happened just yesterday. I can't forget about it. I never can.

I sighed and got up from the bed, leaving all the sad thoughts as I wake up to a new fresh day, hoping maybe, it would go right.

Will it though? I have no idea,but I'm going to try to make my life better, whatever it takes.

I'm not a child anymore, I have grown up and my parents for sure did not raise me to be a self pitying loser.

I will be better, for them.

"Mom, dad, if you're watching me right now, please give me the strength to endure whatever problems that are thrown my way. Help me so I can become the person you both wanted me to be." I prayed.

I quickly freshened up and got ready to leave. Since today Aria called me to her office, so we could discuss further on how I can start practicing designing again. Because even she is busy these days, apparently she is working on a new project, their whole team is busy.

I told her she could concentrate on her work and I'll figure out something else but she insisted that she will take some time to help me out too.

Seriously, she's an angel. I don't know what I would have done without her.

By the time I reached Aria's boutique, she was busy in a meeting so I was told to wait for a while.
