Hello April

Prologue

Her love is beautiful, passionate and wild.
His love is raw, extraordinary and powerful.
Together they're addictively chaotic.
A love that's perfectly imperfect.

Love has always been a complex idea for me. I've read a lot about love and understand it to a point, but understanding the emotion is foreign to me. I never got a mothers love and maybe that changed how I saw and understood love.

Men are very emotional creatures. They show they're emotions through their bodies. Anger and possession seem to always go hand in hand and for some reason that is how I see love.

I read somewhere that a man desires respect from their partner while a woman desires protection. Maybe that's why love, possession and anger all seem like the same thing.

I sit in silence eating my breakfast. A bowl of cereal, as usual. The only thing I can get down in the morning.

My twin brother Adam is sitting across from me, eating toast and scrolling through his phone. I left mine in my room, since I never have the energy to talk to anyone right after waking up.

"Holy shit!" Adam exclaims out of nowhere, earning a gasp from me as my spoon slips from my fingers and back into my bowl. Small milk droplets splatter onto the table and some make their way on to my oversized t-shirt.

I have a bad habit of ruining all my clothes right as I put them on. If it's not food or makeup, there's always something else.

"What?!" I ask, raising my voice. I absolutely despise the feeling of my heart jumping to my throat.

"Check the group chat," Adam says with his eyes glued to his phone, fingers typing 100 miles a minute.

The group chat is a chat with me and my closest friends. Conveniently Adam and I share the same group of friends, Evan, Lucas and Finn.

It's always been just me, Adam and our dad, as long as I can remember. Sadly our mother died giving birth to us and I never got the pleasure to meet her.

Growing up with only boys I turned out kind of tomboyish. Never getting into the girly things in life. Not that I mind, I love getting my hands a little dirty.

"My phone is in my room, idiot," I say and grab the edge of Adams phone, tilting it down, and getting his attention back on me. Being twins we share the same looks. Auburn brown hair and green eyes. My twins green eyes look into mine with frustration.

"Evan said he saw a car parked in front of Elias' house," all time freezes as Adam finishes his sentence. My mind doesn't seem to comprehend what he's trying to say, as my mouth falls open and I'm lost for words.

"Wha-" I whisper, not being able to put my thoughts together.

"Elias is back." Adam says and realization hits me like a truck.

Elias is Adams best friend and he's part of our little group. Or at least he was until his dad got relocated to England and they had to move for a whole year. Missing our senior year. We never knew when Elias would be back, or if he ever would, but apparently he's home now.

In seconds I'm on my feet. I don't remember the last time I've moved this fast at this ungodly hour.

My feet take me to the front door and I quickly open it, letting the morning breeze hit my bare legs.

I look down the familiar driveway and squint my eyes at a specific house, a few houses away from ours. Right there, right in front of my eyes I see a car I haven't seen in almost a year. That can only mean one thing...

Elias is actually back.
