Prologue

There once was a time, when I could have written a two thousand word essay about Kaden Thorn. A time when I was the chairman of the Kaden Thorn fan club and a time when I knew Kaden Thorn better than I knew myself.

If you had of asked me what I believed in, I would have answered 'I believe in him." The 'him' being Kaden.

Except time goes on and life isn't a still image, it's constantly changing. Blessing you with it's staggering elegance and shattering you with it's cruelty.

Sometimes the change is beautiful, like the blossoming of a flower in the spring time, after a cold winter.

But then sometimes the change is shocking and grim, like the start of a war after years of peace, bringing only heartache and pain with it.

And we were no different, we weren't immune to the ghastly disease known as change.

We grew apart, going on our own paths in lives which unfortunately just didn't meet anymore.

Well at least he did.

I would have built a bridge if it meant I'd still get to have my best friend back, but that's the thing about unrequited love. It isn't returned and how can you fight for something which isn't there anymore?

There was no longer room for little old me in his busy life.

His path no longer collided with mine and just like that.

Rose and Kaden were no longer.

No more midnight chats or epic failures which would undoubtedly be laughed about later and no more partner in crime.

I was a one-man show now, forever alone.

He forgot me.

But now he's back.

It's been years and those years have obviously changed him.

But those years have changed me as well.

And this time he will remember me.
