The Fall • HS

Prologue

'I didn't want to fall in love. I didn't want to need someone. I really didn't want anything. But then he appeared- and I started wanting everything'
Rory Haven never knew why she had never fallen in love like everyone else had , she hadn't even come close. Maybe there was something wrong with her- or maybe she was incapable of such a feeling. That is until she meets him. Suddenly he filled the void in her heart where no one else could reach. And she realized it had always been him, even before her eyes met his emerald ones.
–

I never understood why I was so incapable of loving someone. I mean I'm 21 years old and have never been in a relationship. At first it was all fun and games because I'm still so young, but I had never looked at someone and saw the sun, or ached when I was away from them.

I had never gotten my heartbroken, felt butterflies or gotten jealous. Every time I started to see someone I just couldn't get there emotionally, it was never on purpose and it had always portrayed me as the villain- the girl who strung guys along until I was bored with them.

Some people would call me every college guys wet dream, someone who wants no emotional attachment. But that's the thing- it's not that I didn't want to it's that I couldn't.

But I hadn't yet realized why. I hadn't yet realized that I needed a love that consumed me. I needed to fight with them, I needed passion, I didn't want it to be easy, I needed someone to challenge me and someone that enamored me. Someone that made me question things I never had before.

That was when I met him. The boy who I looked at and saw the sun. The one I wouldn't mind losing sleep for. The one I could never get tired of talking to. The one whose presence alone I could feel in my bones.

I suddenly felt the things I read books about.

The boy that changes everything.
