Prologue

Grandpa Max couldn't stand to watch as all this happened. He still couldn't believe that his granddaughter, whom he had cherished so much would meet her demise before he did. If only he could turn the tables. He looked at the young man on the podium who was saying his last farewells. He was the only man his granddaughter ever brought to him. He was charming, kind, compassionate and a wonderful human being. She found a great man indeed but it was too bad she couldn't live to stick to him.

Sky looked at everyone seated, it just wasn't his place. He cleaned the tears that had formed a long line on his cheek and sniffed. How was he to move on after this? There was no telling what would happen next or how he would go about his life without her, he just couldn't see that happening. She came into his life with so much...love, now that she's gone, was there still a point in living? He lowered his head and walked down the podium without saying the last words, goodbye. No one could really blame him, it wasn't so easy to say goodbye to the one who gave you meaning to life, it just wasn't. There were still so many things he wanted to do with her. So many places to go, so many food to try out. It was somehow funny how she always found delight in eating different kinds of food at the same time but at this point, he couldn't find himself laughing. There was nothing to laugh about and there was nothing to lift the spirit. This was probably going to be the order of the day, sadness.

Harrison watched Sky walk down the podium and sighed. Somehow he felt contempt towards him. It wasn't his fault and it had nothing to do with him but thinking about how his sister spent her last days with him, it angered him and pushed him to feel hate. 'Why him and not me?' He watched as Sky picked up a guiter and played a note, his eyes widened, it couldn't be. Right?

Aliya ran out with Greg chasing after. She finally stopped in the rain and looked up. Such a painful feeling, was there anything she could do to ease that feeling? Was there anywhere she could go to forget, all the sad memories, sad past, sad present? She felt a pair of arms around her, she knew who it was and she knew what he meant but somehow she wished she had never known him.

"Why?" she asked "Why did it have to end like this? How did it end like this?" she asked as tears dripped down her eyes. Neither of them knew the answers and as much as Greg wanted to know, he couldn't.

The rain fell hard and washed these two but it couldn't wash away the deep cut on their hearts. How did it really come to this?
