When we return back to the same place, it brings back all the memories. Whether it be good or bad, it will come back because they still reside somewhere in back of our mind.

~♥~

It was a perfect night for selenophiles, the moon lovers. The crescent shone brightly in the sky, the lighter clouds formed a foggy curtain over it making it look mesmerizing.

The indigo inky blue sky looked like a beautiful canvas, where thousands of stars painted upon it.

The sky looked tragically beautiful, the graveyard of stars shone brightly in the dark night.

How beautiful is the relationship between the dark night sky and the moon, so contrasting, yet so incomplete without each other....

When I was a child, I always thought that the moon followed me everywhere I went. It always made me feel special and happy that I was so lucky to have moon all by myself.

I chuckled sadly, wierd fantasies we had during our childhood. I feel childhood is a lot better time period than any other phase of our life. Atleast you do not have anything to get worried of. That phase is not less than any fairytale.

No stress, no heartbreaks, no responsibility, just eat, play, maybe study a little and then sleep. What a life! I wish I could live my childhood again, it was the best phase of my life and I guess of everyone's.

I grew up in Paris, I love yet hate this place. I love it because I spent my childhood here, many beautiful memories are cherished by me and I hate it because it is responsible for every misery of mine.

As I grew older, I started seeing cruel side of the world. The real world. Where no one loves anyone, everyone is selfish and are seeing their own good.

People here have forgotten what humanity is, I sometimes wonder why do we even call ourselves as humans.  We are worst than any monster, who are filled with revenge, agony and manipulation.

I am not saying that everyone is like that, but there are few people and due to them our life shatters. Few were in my life too, murderers of my mum and dad.

I was 15 years old when they left me all alone, it was the hardest phase of my life. I was all shattered, I did not knew what was I supposed to do.

I was craving for their warmth, for the first time I was craving my mum's lecture. I was craving for dad's warm and protective hug, I was craving for their love and attention. I was missing their pampering.

I was just missing them....

They never said goodbye to me, they just left me without any warning, they were just gone before I knew it. It hurts the most because you know it, no one can ever love you that same way they did.

I was completely broken at that phase, Angel and David helped me the most. They looked at me as their own daughter, spoiling me rotten with their love and care. I still can not be thankful enough to god for sending them in my life.

And I still cannot stop whining enough for snatching them away from me.

I still do not know who murdered them, it was so perfectly planned like an accident that I was not able to find a single clue about it.

But I just know one thing, the one who murdered my parents are the one who murdered my angel and David as well.

I still remember that day, why I met Ashton. Why I entered his life, why I had to do this. It was for them. It was for my lifelines.

My angel and David....

And I also remember how I lost them.
The memories never fade away from your mind, and so did mine.

Everything just seemed to get worst in my life, it felt that god himself wanted to see me suffer. First he snatched my parents from me then that Sam incident and Ian. I felt like I was responsible for everything.

Remembering those moments still make me shudder, those cuts, those scars, those lusty looks. I was still not able to overcome that trauma and now I am again sitting in the waiting area of a hospital.

I didn't thought that I would have to visit this crap again, but here I am. I was still not able to digest the fact that Angel and David met with an accident, today is so similar to the day I lost my parents.

And they both were more closer to me than anyone else. They looked after me as if I was their own daughter, they loved me more than anything.

I can not afford to lose anyone else now, I do not have any strength left inside myself to fight again.

The clicking sound of the door brought me out of my thoughts, the doctors rushed out of the OT.

" Are they fine doc? They will be alright na? " I rushed to them.

I couldn't keep my tears in control, with red eyed I looked at him hoping for some positive answer. He looked at me with pity. I almost stumbled back by the look on his face.

Please it should not be what I am thinking of.

" Please listen to me very carefully, due to the impact of blast they have got several burns on their body. Their body is badly burnt and I am sorry to say but generally people don't survive in these cases " he said, looking at me with sympathy.

I could not feel anything, I felt emotionally drained and numb.

Now I will lose them also who were my everything? Is this what I really deserve, no love and care from anyone? Am I really a curse that whoevers life I enter, they just leave me or this world only.

First my parents, then Ian died for me and now them too!

" Actually they are conscious right now and want to meet you. If You are miss Alaia, I guess" he said and I nodded.

" Yes, they want to meet you. I would have not allowed but they kept pestering about it. " I nodded again, trying my best to keep my emotions under control

I walked inside the ward where they were kept, both were in the same room. Many wires and machines attached to their hands and body.

Their faces were covered with bandages, there were many marks on their body due to the car blast. Both of them had oxygen masks to breathe.

As soon as I saw them, I could not control and burst into tears.

My sobbing awoke them, Angel gestured me to come near her.

" Alaia....." she whispered hoarsely, if not for the dead silence in the room, I would not have been able to hear it.

I walked near her bed and knelt down in front of the bed, keeping my hands on hers.

" Please don't leave me. You two are the only ones I have in my world now. Please don't leave me...." I sobbed on her hands while she tried to speak something.

" Al-laia..... l-listen to m-me " my attention snapped towards her.

She took a deep breath and removed the oxygen mask. I gasped.

" Angel please! Don't do this, you need this mask! " I tried protesting but her one sentence stopped me.

" Your p-parents.. were murd-dered "

I stood there frozen and dumbstruck, from all these years I have been thinking that it was an accident but suddenly knowing that they were murdered!

" T-they are the... same people who t-tried killing us today showing it...as an accid-dent " she spoke with heaving breaths, I took deep breaths to calm myself.

I needed to handle myself properly, I need to know who murdered my parents and tried killing them.

" T-they are behind  Asht-ton " this time I heard David speaking. I turned around and looked at him.

Ashton Johnson, their one and only son.....

I never met him but I knew they loved him very much, as much as me. If I was their heart then he was heart beat of that heart.

" Al-laia... please p-protect my son....please. " I snapped my attention back to angel who spoke breathing heavily.

" Angel please wear your oxygen mask " I tried but she did not let me, instead held my hand.

" Prom-mise me Alaia, you w-will protect yourself and my son as well.....p-promise me. Promise me t-that you will f-find your par-rents murderer " she said, flinching a little at last and her face twitched as if someone just hurt her with a knife.

" I promise, I will protect Ashton and find those bloody bastards as well"

I came in between both the beds and held their hands, joining them together and mine on top of it. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I kissed back of their hands.

There were several emotions going on in my mind, agony, pain, longiness and most importantly fear. I was scared, to lose them.

" Today was his b-birthday. " David said, sadly.

That is right, they both were off to airport to their private jet so that they could reach New York and surprise their son. But the game of destiny is unpredictable sometimes.

" Happy birthday Ashton and we are sorry " both said together with slight smile.

Tears rolled down thier cheeks and they stopped speaking, the machines behind me kept making sound. Their lifeless hands still gripped tightly by me, I was not ready for them to go.

But I had to.

Right now, they were not the only ones who died. A part of my heart died along with them.

" Ashton Johnson, I swear upon my lifelines. I will protect you until I find those bloody bastards who killed my parents as well as yours "

It is so weird that I vowed to protect him as a cost of promise but now my own heart yearns for his safety.

It is crazy how you meet thousands of people and none of them really impact you but there you meet one person and your life changes forever.

Ashton was that one person in my life, he completely changed me from who I was. Death of angel and David broke me from inside, I became cold to hide my miserablity. But he just tried to mend every broken part of my heart.

Due to that promise I was not even able to attend their funeral, I needed to stay hidden so that I could enter his life. I planted myself in his life for them but I never thought that I would be trapped in the same game I laid.

My heart is the rebel of my mind it seems, it did the same thing my mind never intended to do. Falling for someone again.

I again looked at the stars, with a heaving smile. Stars are really beautiful you know.

Anyways I feel I need to sleep after all we have to again get ready for some drama, as we have the meeting tomorrow.

I sighed, it gonna be a long day tomorrow.

♥

She planted herself knowingly, everything was a part of the game played by her, she met him from her own will, she did it all for them. But everything changed when her heart turned into a rebel. Heart never listens to your mind, It will only do things what you don't want it to.

~♥~

Hush! Finally done. So now it is clear I guess, why Alaia entered Ashton's life. It was for her lifelines which are also Ashton's parents.
They took care of her when she lost her parents and they were murdered.

They are the same people who also killed Ashton's parents, so Alaia is on the way to find everything.

And my apologies as I won't be able to extend it till 14 chapters, it might go till 6 or 7 but I will atleast try to extend it till 24 chapters.

So till my next update take care and stay safe. Byeeeee.
