My Strange Love Story

PROLOGUE

I am Hope Smith and I am 18 years old. I lost my parents this year in a car accident. I was sitting in the back seat, I was just a little injured, but my parents didn't make it, I have nowhere else to go. so, here I am standing at the airport waiting for my sister to come to pick me up

I look exactly like my mother. I'm not very tall just the height of 5 feet, dark brown eyes, fair flawless skin, waist length jet black hair, and curves at the right places.

"Hope! " yelled a very familiar voice, and I knew who it belongs to. that's my elder sister Grace

"Grace " I yelled back happily and embraced her in a very tight hug, and before I knew it. I was crying. she started rubbing my back in a soothing way reassuring me that it's ok, I have her now.

I'm glad I have her by my side. When I have nothing left at least I have her.

I love my sister beyond limits, she is my best friend, my strong brother, my sweet sister, my everything, I really missed her, and wanted to meet her but not like this. I really did love my parents like any other child and now they are gone

We pulled back " come on, I have a surprise for you, " she said with a ghost smile on her face

"Okay, let's go, " I said wiping away my tears

The drive home was filled with Grace talking about her job, my new school, our neighbors, and how they helped her redesign our house, it's a bit old, the family who lived here sold the house in a hurry so, they had a lot of work to do

" we are home...." Grace said in a sing-song ton. when I look at the house in front of me I was hypnotized. it was beautiful, it was totally breathtaking

"Wow! Grace, this house is amazing Did you do all this?" I asked not believing what's in front of me, it's a 2 stories house, and a cute garden. the house is painted with pale yellow and a bit gold in it.

"You have no idea how I managed to do this," she said " come on your surprise is waiting for you, " she said opening the car door and taking out my bags

"Okay, let's do this" I exhaled deeply getting out. I helped her carry my bags

The house from the inside was more beautiful then outside, the living room was really big and cozy, the walls were painted greenish yellow, there was a red couch, a coffee table, 38 inches flat screen HD TV, a beautiful flower vase, and a wall full of family photos, there was a particular of me. I was 5 years old, smiling bring showing off my broken teeth, there were all my childhood pictures

"Remember this one?" she pointed at a picture of me riding a bike

"You were 8 when you wanted a bike, you were so stubborn. you learned to ride a bike in one day then broke your leg," she said remembering about one of my incidents, she smiled remembering my childish behavior

"let's go see your room. shall we?" She said linking her arm with mine walking to my room that was upstairs

"Surprise. ..." she said opening the bedroom door and I was like. wow!

My bedroom is now my most favorite place, my room is pretty big, the walls are painted violet, my favorite color. there is a queen size bed in the middle, there was an attached bathroom, and there were another 2 doors, so I opened it and it reviled a beautiful balcony and the view was amazing. From my balcony I can see the beautiful forest, hear voices of birds and animals, there were flower pots with my favorite flowers in it, and there is another balcony on my left side of the wall. OMG! 2 balconies. but this one was in front of another balcony just 4-5 feet away from mine

After wondering around in my room I decided to start unpacking, my luggage was a lot. so it took me about 2 hours to fully fill my wardrobe

I went downstairs to meet Grace, she was in the kitchen making dinner, the smell of food was amazing, and it made my stomach growl,

Grace is very pretty, her eyes are my personal favorite, they are light blue with a pinch of grey and a little bit of green, waist length jet black hair, and a body to die for she has a masters in an electronic engineer. But I don't understand why she is still single.

"Something smells delicious," I said making my way towards her, inhaling the amazing aroma of a homemade meal.

"It's your favorite honey chicken and salad," she said opening the lid of the vessel

"All this for me?" I asked not believing that all this special treatment was just for me

"Yeah, silly it's for you," she said serving me dinner.

this is the best day of my life.

The dinner was amazing, but I was really tired too. so, I went straight to bed and I have school tomorrow, here starts my new life, new school, new friends, new everything

While I was busy in my thoughts, I didn't see there was a shadow of a person standing at the balcony but before I could see his face, I was in a deep sleep
