A Cursed love ~book one~ Finding Calypso

chapter 1

"A boy shall find the cursed of heart,A girl shall live but fall apart.The day will die the angel will cry.Thy shall seek what one must find.A dove will show the way of the one who is prey."

I came back to consciousness when my mother started shaking me awake. "Gabriel, wake up! You're going to be late for school!" she said. Grudgingly I got up and got dressed. I went downstairs and ate the bacon and eggs my mom made me. "Seriously Gabriel, you need to get up earlier." She said with a kind laugh. I nodded "I know I just didn't sleep well last night." I said, it wasn't a total lie. I got up and gave my mom a goodbye hug, yes that's a little childish, no I don't care. I left and started walking to the bus station.
