Prologue

"I'm really sorry, Alyssa. And I know there's really nothing I can say that will make this any...easier."

Mrs. Reese stood in my doorway, a look of sorrow and regret swirling in her eyes. I could see it. The Reese family members were like an open book. Each one just as easy to read, or so I thought, in the beginning.

An awkward tension filled the room as I finished zipping up my last luggage.

I approached the door and handed Mr. Reese the heavy bulging box of clothes, grimacing at the weight of it.

"Your...Dad. He wasn't exactly emotionally stable after what happened to your-", Mrs. Reese grinded her teeth a little and looked away, not sure what to say. 

I looked up and gave my brightest smile. "It's fine. After Mom died, things were never really the same. I'm glad you guys were kind enough to take me in.", I smiled once more.

Mrs. Reese took this as immediate entrance into my life and gave me a hug. "Oh, honey, I can't even tell you how much I've always wanted a daughter!"

"What about Teddy?", I questioned.

"She's in that stage where she goes against everything I say and do.", she laughed, a playful look in her eyes. 

I laughed, mentally acknowledging that I was never allowed Teddy's luxory, continuing out towards the car.

I piled my luggages in and got into the back seat, texting final good-byes to my closest friends.

Good-bye California, Hello Massachusetts.

The weather that time of year was still beautiful, and as the Reese parents and I trudged off an awful plane ride, we walked into the airport terminal, searching for the boys.

Apparently, their children had all conveniently forgotten that their parents had left town for a couple days and decided not to show up.

Mr. Reese called a cab and I stared out the window as we rode home, in silence.d

A few minutes before we entered their perfectly trimmd and neat white-picket-fence neighborhood, Mrs. Reese began asking me questions.

"So, Alyssa...How were things back at home?"

"Fine.", I answered nervously.

"You still playing tennis?", She asked.

"Yeah."

"That's good. And what about soccer?", she turned a little in her seat.

"Yup.", I answered.

"Good...Good. Well, GW has really competitive girl's athletic programs so I'm sure you'll be happy with the sports here.", She spoke, smiling directly at me.

"That's...good.", I answered.

"Were you doing okay in school?", she asked curiously.

"Yeah. Mostly A's.", I answered.
