*There is a sequel to this, The Sky Under The Sea. {Sequel To Lead Me Out Of The Dark}.* I was Finally going to be home. Finally get to see my parents. I arrive at my parents only to see what I thought I'd never see. Fire trucks, ambulances, cops. I ran as fast as I could to see what happened. That;s when my life changed. I'm Zundra Sophia Cruz. I'm 20, and this is my life. (A/N: I update every day. This is my first story. Please comment and tell me what you think?)

"Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can't control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. That's what it was like for me. I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it." -Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
