Prologue: Discovering


My parents were always on business trip, actually, I almost never saw them. Generally, they went a few months, once they even were a year outside, then they came back to stay a few days because they were called again for another business trip and that doesn't bother me at all. I never had a strong relationship with my parents, now having one, was almost impossible.

And the worst of all, is that my parents hired a babysitter everytime they were outside.


In spite of the fact that my parents would still have to travel, we had moved to a new city. Since we had moved, they had not been gone on a business trip yet, but it was a matter of time that they go away. We had arrived two months ago. In the beginning, the school was a little uncomfortable, but then I made some friends and I started to feel more comfortable every day.

So, actually, this situation didn't even surprise me at all.

As I said before, it was just a matter of time that my parents had to go on a business trip.

-How long are you going? -I asked.

It was no surprise that they get married, my mother was the job partner of my father, and because of it they always were together; I just wondered every day why they had me if they didn't even pay me attention.

My mother gave me a sad look, probably because of the expression I was giving: anger and deception. At least they care about me.

-I'm sorry, darling. -She started, sighing. -The trip is in Europe and we're leaving tomorrow. -Suddenly, she fall silent and opened her eyes like she remembered something. -Oh, and we will stay outside during eight months.

I opened the eyes because of the pure anger and sighed. -Eight months? -I repeated. -That's a lot of time! We almost never do stuff in family, we are never together. This is what you call a family?

-Ariel. -My father said. -Calm down, I know that we are barely at home, but you have to know that we are too busy. I'm sorry. Oh, and I hired a babysitter, he is the son of a family that we met here and they are pretty nice, they said that it won't be a problem.

I was breathless again.

HE?


Wait, you just say that is a boy? -I asked, trying to verify the conclusion to what my father said, and he nodded. My parents were the most rare, why would they let a boy take care of her daughter? Specially when I'm on my last year. -Who is he? -I urge, begging God that he hasn't a name of a rapist, or at least he wasn't one.

I was afraid.

-We didn't have time to hire an appropriate babysitter, but Mr. Clark said that his son was very responsible, so we offered him the job. -My father explained, and my world stopped.

How many Clarks were in the city? Please, God, have mercy of me.


He gave me an encouraging smile, as if he was saying that all was going to be alright. Nothing was alright. -Apparently, he goes to your school, his name is Liam Clark. Do you know him, Ariel?

Hang me.

I nodded slowly. -Yes. -I answered trying to process the news.

-Well, so... -My mother seemed quite excited. I didn't understand anything. -He's coming tomorrow before we go, okay?

-Okay.

Liam Clark, the hottest boy in the school, just like one of the Playboy's from the school...

Was going to be my babysitter during eight months.
