One secret, one curse, is enough to change everything. Everything she knew, everything she thought she understood, became nothing, twisting into an ultimate heap of confusion. He is after her, the one that has...

I stare out of my window, watching each small snowflake that floats gently from the grayish clouds above. I scrutinize the intricate designs and think to myself that no two snowflakes look alike, just like no two people look alike, with the acceptation of twins.
It's odd in a way if you think about it, small things that we might see everyday change, and we might not realize it. It's funny to think that you were older by a day than you were yesterday, the more I seem to think about these things, the more I see life like prisms. We're parallel with one another, yet we're so different, In one way or another, our paths intersect, just intersecting likes in a 2D figure.
But that's what makes life so interesting, we're not flat figures on a piece of paper, if anything, we're colors, we're shapes without names, we are the things that make life amazing, worth living, worth living every second, and when Alakade says it'll only get worse for me, I'm determined to prove his theory wrong.
How can it get worse? I have the most wonderful friends, Kinney, and in some ways, I have my father, though I might not always be able to see him, I'll mentally know that he sees me, sees me as his loving daughter and nothing less. Even if things do become challenging, I refuse to accept that I'm alone because I'm not, I'm anything but that.
No matter what happens, I will fight through it, and I won't let Adrian in, I won't.
I refuse.
A subtle knock sounds on my door, and it happens another time, two and three, repeating on the door.
"Come in," I say softly, not lifting my gaze from the drifting flakes of water, I watch them one by one as they float to the ground.
The door from behind me opens, the hinges squealing. I hear the slight clapping of the souls of shoes against the wooden floor, though it stops once they hit the carpet. They take a seat beside me on my window bench, and even now, I don't make eye contact with them, and I don't have to because as soon as they open their mouth, I know who exactly it is.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Jordi breathes quietly, me with a sense that he doesn't want to disturb me.
"Yeah."
The first snow of the season is always the prettiest, I don't know if it's the fact that the sun faintly shows through the clouds as the snow sparkles as it hits the ground, or for the fact that the branches always end up covered in pure white snow.
Though it's beautiful, it's also dejected. The first snowfall was also the day my mother disappeared, this was seven years ago, and every first snowfall of the winter, I always find myself sitting on this bench either alone or with Jordi by my side.
"Do you still believe that she'll come back?" Jordi asks, turning his head to meet my eyes, his fern colored green eyes scrutinizing my face, I turn to him as well and his eyes are full of nothing but sympathy.
"In a way, I do, yes."
Long ago, when she went missing, I believed strongly that one day, she'd come back on the first snowfall, that she'd come back to me and never leave, never let go of me. But now that I'm older, I've accepted her absence, I've accepted the fact that she's not coming back, that she's never coming back.
"It hurts," I say, returning to my longing stares out my window. I feel an arm wrap around my waist tugging me closer. My cheek comes in contact with Jordi's wet jacket, snow sprinkles still faintly littering the surface. I relax on his side, a part of me not wanting this moment to end.
But I know it will. I know it has to.
And it will.
