Summary

Sometimes life throws you lemons. They're unavoidable, necessary, and everyone gets them, no matter how much they look like they don't.

Unfortunately, some people get them more than others, and they're usually the ones who deserve having a happy-ever-after ending most.

I'm one of those people.

Prologue

Life isn't perfect, sweet, or ends in a happy-ever-after like in the fairy tales. We don't even know if they end happily, because for all we know, they could turn out badly as well, and just not tell us.

Or maybe fairy tales are there to give us an insecurity of knowing that for most people, they'll never come true. Either way, they're not real, and my life definitely isn't one.

I'm Arya Hilter Tayler. I'm 12 years old, have brown hair with blonde highlights and look through hazel eyes, framed by long eyelashes. I live in Auckland, New Zealand, with two cats called Tammy and Gracie, and a passion for reading and writing.

But I'm not one of the lucky ones.

When I was first born, everyone cooed and gazed at me, for all my baby cuteness. There was nothing bad in my world, and I was one of those intelligent, insane babies, with everyone anyone would ever want. Even as a newborn, I had a realistic, imaginative and ambitious approach, an odd combination, especially since most people just have one or two.

I had no idea what would happen to me in later life, and though it wasn't the worst life you could possibly imagine, it's wasn't the easiest either.

So welcome to my life.

A/N I was hoping to drag it out a bit more, but I couldn't so it's a pretty small prologue and summary. But aren't they supposed to be small? -Tries to save self-

I'm not going to be one of those people that asks for a certain number of reviews until I update again, because I hate those, but please review if you have the chance.

Reviews are love. Suggestions are worshipped.

And if you're going to flame me, please put a reason with it.

About the title: I know, it's a strange title, but it's for personal reasons so I'd rather not get into it.

I'll probably update tomorrow, because it's nearly bedtime for me here.
