Wonder Life

Prologue

(First, hi everyone and welcome. This is something I was thinking about doing for a long time. This part is just for mood seating and the story begins on Chapter One, but don't skip this one. Thank you. <3)

They say you get two big loves in a lifetime and you fall in love at least four times. But, when do you know if its the love or just love, if it is going to be just a blink in a lifetime or a part of your heart for eternity? I guess sometimes when you are in your fifties and you can say you have lived a life.

But when you are in you are at the beginning of your twenties or even in your teen years every love feels like the love, something that will stick with you forever. Every time you fall in love it feels like this is it and every heartbreak feels like you are going to die.

You are young, free and your hormones are over the sky. When you get older you understand that everything that happened then was just a way to prepare you for the life ahead.

They always tell you stories about it. About the true unconditional love. From an early age, when you are just a kid or in this case a little girl with a head full of dreams. I still remember the stories I have read, the cartoons I have watched. Ariel, the princess under the sea who falls in love with the handsome Eric from the land, and they find a way to live happily ever after. Or the classic Snowhite, Cinderella, hell, even the dogs had their true love story in the Lady and the Tramp.

I remember them clearly, they were the first thing that showed me, true love. Okay, yes, my mom and dad loved each other, but it was a normal boring love, at least through my eyes. They didn't fight for their love when I was little, they didn't have the drama from the cartoon. I guess the already lived happily ever after. At least that was what I thought.

As I got older, the stories become even more romantic.  Every movie, every book, it was always about the romantic moves of a man and the giggles and blushing of a girl. Okay, not every single one, but still a lot of them. Even those with broken hearts. You know the ones that make you cry all the damn time and make you believe all men are idiots until one shows up and does the most romantic thing in the world. 

Movies always made me see love, but books, they always made me feel love. Movies always told the story of the girl, but books you could always find a story of a man and his story of love. To me, Dante and his Divine Comedy was the first big love story ever written. Maybe you find that thought a little off, but Dantes light in the books was always Beatrice, the one who he couldn't have. His entire life was devoted to her, it was the classic triangled love. In the modern days, he was Jacob and she was his Bella.

That was the concept of love which I couldn't ever understand. The one-way love. Dante, Werther, Jacob they all loved the one they can't have. The one that didn't love them back. They loved with all they had. So was that their big love, the one you get two of them?

How can you say it is a big love if you are the only one that feels it? How do you get over that love? That was something I couldn't understand. How can they love them?

I just couldn't wrap my mind around it, not until I was the one who became the part of their books. That moment I understood what their words meant. The moment I had my heartbroken by the one I loved. Well, I thought I loved him.

I understood Dantes word than- ''I did not die, and yet I lost life's breath.''

When you are young and somebody breaks your heart you think it is the end of the world, you don't see the way out. The truth is it is not the end. There are a lot of things that wait for you. Somebody that waits for you, for me, my somebody was Holden. 

The problem is that you don't know that at the beginning, hell, I didn't know that at the beginning.
