Simply Hello

Chapter 1

Prologue 

As I felt my eyes get heavier and heavier, I saw my attacker stab Harry as he was trying to get to me, I wanted to scream but my mouth wasn’t moving, I wanted to run to Harry but my legs wouldn’t work, I wanted to slap the attacker but my body wasn’t responding all I could do is lay down. Warm liquid started to spread all over my clothes in a dark red color, it stained my shirt and soaked the top of my forehead. How did this happen like this, why now, after all this time. I closed my eyes, I fought against the overwhelming weight of my eye lids to see my attacker on the ground and Harry limping towards me. The second he knelt down my vision went black.

CASSIE’S POV

Love is something that comes out of the blue, it hits you like lighting during a thunder storm, you see the warnings but it isn’t till it strikes you fully understand what is happening. It takes us to places and thoughts we have never been before, it transforms our hearts to be centered on one person. You may deny any feelings for them but it’s always there inside your heart waiting to be discovered. I never believed in loved after my parent’s divorce but now I am having second thoughts. I feel like I am in a roller coaster my heart is pounding, its heard to breathe, butterflies fill my stomach and I have no idea where the next drop or turn will be, but I don’t care because at this moment I am just enjoying the ride. Let me start from the beginning of my story my senior year.

I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm clock, *Beep,beep,beep*, ugh I hate that noise it means summer is over and school is back except now I’m the new girl...AGAIN. A few weeks ago I moved from the sunny, warm state of California to the rainy, foggy, cold state of Washington, my dad had a job change again. So I threw away all of my tank tops, bikinis, short shorts and sunglasses and replaced them with jeans, long sleeved v-necks and sweatshirts, yippee for me I get to become albino. I reluctantly pulled myself out of my tiny twin bed and looked in the mirror, I’m not a beautiful girl in my eyes: I have light brown wavy hair, dark brown eyes, a tiny bone structure, a whopping height of 5’4 and semi-tan skin. I’m plain, nothing special or extra-ordinary. I have heard for countless years how pretty I was or how I am beautiful but to be honest never in my life have I ever felt beautiful or even attractive. I always have felt like a part of me was missing, something in my life I have lost or forgotten but I don't know what it is. 

My dad bought this house for him and I because he got a good deal on it. I missed my old life in California I missed the friends I made last year and I missed the sun for sure.  The house was painted a fading white color with a side porch, two stories and a small shed a few feet from the house. Surrounding it was these beautiful but tall pine trees, a strange backyard which had a path to the forest and lots of green grass and moss. When you walk inside the house you are in the living room which contains an old TV some leather couches and a chair, then you turn to face the other way and the out dated kitchen is in your view point. Luckily my dad sleeps down stairs and I sleep upstairs so at least I have some privacy and a place to escape from my dad.
