Haunting Past

Chapter 1

I woke up in an unknown place. I have a really bad headache and my vision is blury. I can smell dust and something that kinda smells like tobacco. Then I heard a voice:

"welcome to earth, doll"...

2 monts before

It's may 23, Wednesday. I'm walking home from a nearby park. It's a little late now, so my boyfriend decided to walk me home. We're walking in awkard silence, beacause he proposed to me 5 minutes ago, but I couldn't say yes to him. I really love him and I'm sure he would make a great husband, but I also was sure in my former engagement. I don't like to talk about it and he knows that. Probably thats why he didn't ask anything when i asked for time to think about my answer, even though he doesn't know much about my previous relationship.

"Jay?" I called out his name as I tried to break the silence and get his attention.

"Hmm?" His voice is low.

"You know I love you right?"

For a second he paused, he didn't say anything just slowly nodded and gave me a little smile. While we continued walking I got lost in my thoughts. I'm very lucky to have him as my boyfriend, after all Jay Keller is really famous among the girls wich is not suprising. He's tall, handsome and is really sweet and loving. No sane person would reject a marriage proposal from a man like him, but what should I do if marrying Jay means breaking an other promise I made very long ago?

"Hey! Can you hear me?" Jay asks looking a bit worried.

"Oh! sorry..." I say as I snap back to reality.

"We have arrived...Are you okay?"

"Yes, im okay, don't worry. Thank you for walking me home."

"You don't have to thank me" He says with a warm smile. He's smiling but I know him too well. His eyes are sad. I did want to hurt him by not answering him. I feel so bad but I don't know what to say to him, so I just hug him and turn to enter the building. It seemed like forever until the elevator finally reached the 9th floor. I entered my apartment and headed to the bathroom. I need to take a hot bath after such a tiring day like this.

As I sat in my bath my thoughts surrounded me again. Was it a good decision to move back here to Gotham again after all that happened before? After all I already had a new life in Metropolis. I really don't know, but something kept pulling me back here...something I cannot explain. Whether it was a good decision or not, I'm here. If I think about it more Jay seems like a completelly new chance from life. Maybe I had to meet him. Ever since I was a little girl, I always dreamed of my wedding day and of having a husband. In my teenage years I realised that it's not like it is in the fairytales, but seeing my mom and dad I never stoped admiring love. Even after they have already passed away, the memory of their love will always give a warm sensation to my heart. Then I met HIM. Sometimes I wonder where he is... or if he's even alive. He really took me off of my feet. I experiemenced what it is like to truly fall in love. But I learned that not all love can be fulfilled. I don't know what went wrong....was it me? was it him? or did it just have to happen like that? Is there a big book, that has everyones fate written in it ? But all that was so long ago. I have to move on and Jay is the best way to it.

When I realised I have been in the bath for too long I quick got out, got into my pijamas and went to sleep.
