Just a note, when it's a flashback, it will be written normally like this, but be italicized when it's Amy writing. Every now and then Amy will comment on certain things in the flashback too.
Enjoy.

How can I start this off? Should I just jump in on the first day? I guess I could, I mean, this is why I'm writing in here. Not to give you my whole life story, but to give you the last couple of months. Alright, enough of this. I'm just going to write.
It started in December, a few weeks before Christmas....
The room was freezing and I wrapped the warm blanket around myself. Why hadn't Gabriel fixed the heat by now? He said I would, when I said I would, so why didn't he? Oh, right, we couldn't afford it right now. If I were hungry I'd go out and eat some warm soup, but the idea of putting any kind of food in my stomach made me feel sick. For a while I briefly wondered if I might be pregnant, but realized I couldn't be since I wasn't late. Maybe I was just sick.
"I should go see a doctor" I mumbled to myself and slowly moved my feet off the bed and onto the ice cold wood floor "Elise would be happy to see me on such short notice, right?" I said as I searched for my panda slippers "Or maybe I should wait after the holidays. " I put on my slippers and left the room "I'm not hungry but I'm freezing. Maybe I'll make some hot chocolate and call the doctors office and-"
"Who are you talking to?" I heard Gabriel say.
I turned around and gave him a forced smile "Nobody, I was just thinking out loud. Do we have anything to make hot chocolate?" I asked
"No. do you want to go to the store and get some?" Gabriel asked "I think you should. Get out of the house for once."
I look at him for a few moments and sigh "Alright, fine." I said and walk past him. He wasn't wrong, I needed to leave the house for a while. Maybe I was just going stir crazy."
I changed into some warm clothing and walked out into the snowy earth. I'm from New York City, but Gabriel and I moved to Boston when we were twenty. Even with whatever is going on right now with me, the beautiful scenery is still breath taking. So pure, so gorgeus. I hated the idea of driving to the store and ruining it, so I decided to walk. It was only a few blocks away, I'd be fine.
The snow started falling as I was about a block and a half away. I looked up and smiled, letting the snow fall on my face. I closed my eyes and sighed happily when I bumped into something. I opened my eyes and looked down, and realized it wasn't something but someone. A pair of warm brown eyes looked down at me, and a long, grayish brown hair was covered with snow like mine.
Oh God, just thinking of him is making me blush...
"I am so sorry." I said, moving some of my blonde hair from my face "I wasn't looking where I was going." I said as I started to step around him, a little embarrassed
"It's fine, I could tell. You seemed more preoccupied with the snow" The stranger laughed. Wow, he had a nice laugh. And a beautiful smile.
"Oh. God, I must of looked like an idiot." I said quietly
"No, baby, you looked cute. But why are you walking around in this weather?" He asked me.
"I needed to get some stuff form the store and it's so beautiful that I didn't feel like driving"
"It is pretty, isn't it?" The man said, smiling again. I walked closer towards him, drawn in by that smile. He was older than me, I could tell that much, and something about him was so familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. "Winter time in Massachusettes.. It's what inspired me to write Seasons of Wither" He said.
"Seasons of Wither?" I asked, tilting my head to the side "What is that?
The man looked at me with a curious expression "You don't know it? It's a song, baby"
I shook my head "No, never. I'm tempted to hear it now though." I say, smiling a little at him "It's your song. You're a singer..." I said slowly. I tried to think if I might have seen him in a magazine or something.
"Honey, do you really not know who I am?" He asked, his voice filled with humor and slight disappointment.
"No, I don't believe so..."
"I'm Steven Tyler, my band is Aerosmith" He told me
"Oh! I do know who you are!" I said, smiling some more "I love Dream On and Walk this Way. And Hole is my Soul. But that's the only ones I'm familiar with. I remember my little sister watching you on American Idol though." I said "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Tyler."
"You can call me Steven, baby. What's your name?
"Amy" I said, and stick out my gloved hand for him to shake, which he did. "I should really get going. It's so cold and I really want some hot chocolate."
Steven was silent for a moment "Come on Amy, why don't you let me give you a ride. The snow in the street is mush anyway."
I stood there and thought. He was so sweet to go out of this way just to bring me to the store, and something about him, from the second I laid eyes on him, made me not want to leave "Okay!" I said and he lead me to his car. I kicked my boots to get the snow off and went inside, smiling at the warmth.
"All you want is hot chocolate?" Steven said as he got in. I nodded and he grinned "How about, instead of going and buying some boxed stuff, I take you somewhere where they have really good hot chocolate."
"Alright" I said and Steven started the car and the radio started playing a song.
"Look at that, what a coincidence" He said and looked at me "Sweet Emotion, another one of my songs"
I giggled and sat back, listening to the music.
That. That's just the start of it.
