Chapter 1
Evangeline
I am in a dark room, hearing my father's voice
"You killed her, you killed your mother you useless piece of shit. Why did you survive? You should have died instead of her."he says.
"You are not my sister! You are bad luck. You should have died." I hear my older brother Justin's voice.
I wake up sweaty with tears streaming down my face, it was just a nightmare. I wipe my tears and take a deep breath."Relax Evangeline it was just a nightmare, you have them almost every day so relax." I tell myself.
I rush to the bathroom and take a quick shower. I wear black pants and a white shirt.
I check the time and nearly scream " Shit I am going to be late." I grab my purse and run out of my room, only to stop short as I see my father and brothers having breakfast.
"Morning." I say to them but as usual they don't reply, I should be used to this but it still hurts.
I arrive at the office where I work and I am immediately greeted by Theo my co worker.
He is a tall guy with black hair that is perfectly in place and he has Brown eye. He looks me up and down, and smiles " Damn Eva you look absolutely gorgeous. You know you and I should..."
"Hi Theo, it's nice to see you too." I interrup him before he can say what I know he was going to say.
He smiles again "Come on let's get to work."

After working for the whole day I finally leave the office and go to my favourite place in the whole world.
I enter my favourite bakery and see Maya my best friend. She turns and looks at me ,and she groans ."God why are you always here don't you have any other place to go, you don't even pay when you eat here woman."
I try so hard not to laugh and keep a straight face as I reply to her."Wow I am so hurt by your words and is that any way to speak to your number one customer lady?"
"Wow you would be my number one customer if you paid, but you just eat here for free."
I put my hand on my chest and put on a hurt expression."Really is that what you think of me? How can you say that to me?"
We both look at each other and burst out laughing." You were so convincing, I thought you were serious." I say to her as I try to stop laughing. " I wish I could say the same about you, you are a terrible liar you know that?" She says as she gives me a plate of cupcake.
I don't reply as I stuff my face with cupcakes, Maya owns her own bakery and as her best friend in the whole world I support and help her run her bakery.
She is so far my only friend and I don't want to lose her, cause I know that if I lose her I will be alone." So is your family still being jerks and blaming you for something you didn't do?" She asks me
"Maya calm down,I don't want to talk about them."
"No! We should talk about them,I mean how can they blame you for the death of your mother when you were not at fault? I don't understand how they can treat you like this."
She tells me.
I take a deep breath before I respond to her."Maya relax I am fine with it or maybe I should say I am used to it after all this time."
I laugh and smile and smile at her.
" Fine lets talk about something else like,why don't you have a boyfriend yet? I mean look you with those big blue eyes and your long shiny blonde hair. You look like an angel and I'm sure that men would want to go out with you." I roll my eyes at her words, I know she is right but I don't think I deserve to be loved by anyone.
I think that in about some time people will get tired of me, I mean if my own family doesn't love me how would anyone else be able to love me?
I am about to reply when I hear the door open
" Looks like you have a customer, I will go and take his order." Before she can reply I rush out of the kitchen and see a man.
He is wearing a black suit and he has the most piercing silver eyes I have ever seen, he has broad shoulders and his face is expressionless. He is staring at me intensely like he can't believe I'm real.
"
Angel."
I hear him say under his breath.
