my rainbow x a.r

dear reader

dear reader,

the story starts off in a time where two people finally reconnect for the first time in many years. both secretly wishing that they never split ways, but both knowing that they wouldn't be where they are now had they stayed.

this story is about how a life of cloudiness and rain, brought a rainbow. just for that cloudiness to return for years to come with no rainbow in sight. the clouds hovering for those treacherous years until one day, the rainbow appears and the clouds fade away.

this story is a reminder of no matter what happens in your life, things can get better. that even if you don't think life will ever change, it can. (it's not really that deep, i just felt like saying this)

now dear reader, this story starts off in present timing before it shifts to show how the two of them met, fell in love and shifted ways. this is the story called "my rainbow".

this story has titles based on songs, some of the song names or lyrics are included in the chapters they are named after. i did this in respect of how every Greys episode is a song title.

now dear reader, i think it's time to introduce you to the main characters of this story...
