Remember Me.

Chapter 1

My name is Noah Finch. I wish I could say something a little more interesting about my life but, if I'm being honest, my life has been nothing but miserable. I come from nothing. No mom, no dad, no siblings. I was an orphan my entire life. Then I turned 18 and, well, I was on my own. I was homeless for months and, for the longest time, I always believed that having a good life was never going to be in the cards for me. Until this kind lady, whom I now refer to as my Aunt Bree, took me under her arm, offered me a place to stay and helped me get a job.

Staying with my aunt Bree opened my mind up to a little more positivity. I finally felt like I belonged. She made me feel at home. Made me food, Bought my clothes, let me borrow her car, introduced me to the rest of her family. She was a widow, so I think letting me into her home wasn't only done because of the out of the kindness of her heart but also because she may have thought it was her chance to have the son she never got to have. I don't call her Mom, it's okay, she doesn't mind. Her husband had died after their first wedding anniversary and she had been by herself until she met me three years ago. I'm 21 now. I Have a job at the local diner in downtown Manhatten. I'm saving for a car and my own place.

This Christmas was going to be the same old Christmas we have every year. The only thing different. We're doing is going to Christmas dinner at Aunt Bree's parents house.

We arrived at the house and, when aunt Bree introduced me to her family, I met someone. She was so perfect you wouldn't be able to look away. she stood beside the large Christmas tree filled with red ornaments by the fireplace. She was so small she made everyone look like giants. Her dark hair flowed in waves to her waist. She had eyes as deep as the night and skin as smooth as suede. when she told me her name, it had to have been the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard of. She had me captivated within seconds of seeing her, I was in too deep, I had already fallen in love with her before I could begin to tell her what my own name was.
