Prologue
When I first met Elijah Black I had no idea what to expect, but this certainly was not it. I never thought I would be out at four o'clock in the morning looking everywhere for him. Yet here I am, with the breeze giving me a chill that brings my teeth together in a violent chatter. I regret not taking Marcus' jacket that he had offered to me hours before this fiasco continued on into the early morning. Wearing his jacket though would only add to Eli's anger and I definitely did not want that.
I have always been prepared in life, shoot six months ago I would have never left home without a jacket, but when it came to Eli, I was and never would be prepared. I couldn't have ever imagined I would be here in the city of Los Angeles, let alone looking for the man everyone craves to be with. I never intended to find such a lost and lonely man but when I came upon him my life changed forever. I did not think of the consequences that came with helping Elijah, but I would do it all again for this stubborn man. He has turned my world upside down and taught me how to truly live and love.
He is my calm in the storm, but he is also the storm.
