Prologue
Luck. Something I’ve never had. It never went hand in hand with my life. Never been a character trait. Never wanted it to be.
Luck goes along with hope. Things I never needed. You see I knew I’d never amount to much in life. Didn’t have big dreams. I didn’t even have a plan. I was a decent human by most means. I just didn’t care.
That’s the thing about irony though. The ones who are the worse off end up with the purest beacons. Except this isn’t one of those stories. This is the exact opposite. It’s a story about lost love. Make believe. Pain.
Things that do define me I guess. Or as she calls it loveless.
I’ve never been a man of my word. Never wanted to change who I was. Until her. She got under my skin. Shut me out. Pushed me away and cast me as the bad guy.
I guess that’s really when I decided to turn to god. Because he set me on my path for a reason and he wasn’t done with me just yet.
