Chapter 1
Love is DangerousThe world you create around you can collapse any second,
without a sound you are standing alone. I have been walking
in the same way as I did before. When you left me it felt
like the gust of wind disappear. The scars of your love, they
left me breathless. My love for you was effortless but now I
am trying hard to forget you. You wear the shoes I gave you
and walk along the streets with her. As if it was nothing,
you kiss her. You spray the cologne I gave you and embrace
her. Even when you see me you ignore me, what we had
Lost, I am begging you over that Love. I am burning in
those flames then why arent you even looking at me. We
have started walking on these thrones but how long can wetake it. I feel the air around me collapse me down. You
probably repeat those promises you made to me with her. It
seems we are already too late. Has our love already ended?
Please at least say anything to me. There is a fire in my
heart. The things which were blurry seem to be crystal clear
now. I am the only one hurting tonight. When I think ofyou it hurts too much. You are starling all my senses, you
are burning me apart. The dreams which were yours are all
mine now. You are no longer the older yourself. Do not
underestimate the things I am going to do to you. You had

my heart and you stabbed it. Just say something to me once
so I can pulverize all those memories I had with you. Say
you love me. I wonder why the rain makes me cry more, I
am waiting for your love but I cannot seem to find you.Even when I found you I lost you. What type of love is
this? When my own presence is killing me - My Love left
me.
R.
Selene. My mother called out.
Yes mother. I looked back at her.
She was holding a cup of coffee and placed it
down. What are you writing? She looked down
at what I scribbled.
It is nothing special. I covered the page.
You have to go back tomorrow? She sat on the
couch.
I have to go back. I looked back.
I hope you visit me often. She smiled.
I will come back next month.
What time is your flight? She questioned.
Ten. I replied back.

Say hello to, Siobhan. She referred to my
roommate.
I nodded and she closed the door behind her.
I looked down at what I wrote, What am I
writing? I thought and tore it down.
There was a huge crash sound which broke my
sleep, I silently held a baseball bat and crept
downstairs. When I reached the living room it
felt like I was not in my own house.
I am begging you Ethan; please dont do this to
us. I was seeing myself in front of an unknown
person.
Riana, I am sorry but I have to do this. He
closed the door behind him.
When I woke up I was breathless. I went
downstairs to drink water and found myself
sitting in the kitchen.
Who are you? I was stunned.
Selene, you must remember me. She was crying
her eyes out.
Wake meupplease. I shouted.
You know this is not a dream. She continued.
Who are you? I kept staring.

You have to help me Selene.She just vanished
like that.
I am still sleeping, I am dreaming.
Selene, get up. My mother was looking anxiously
at me.
I sat down at the breakfast table and looked at
my single mother. I did not resemble her in any
way. She was a brunette and I was a red head.
Her eyes were green and mine were brown. Mom
I need to ask you something. I looked at her
while she took a sip from her coffee.
Yes Selene, whats bothering you? She looked
back.
Do you anything about my family? I questioned
while she froze.
Selene, I would have told you if I knew. The files
went missing long before you were sent into
orphanage. She held my hand.
I am sorry; I dont know why I keep asking you
this. I pulled my hair up.
I think you are going to be late. She got up and
looked outside the casement.
I grabbed my car keys and headed out. I looked
back at my house. The place where I had spent
20 years, the past is blurry. My mother adopted

me when I was 3. I remember playing in the
backyard with my sister, But nothing else. I
cannot seem to see their faces. I hope all my
questions are answered. My mother ignited theengine and drove towards the airport. It had been
a year since I moved to L.A. working as an intern
in Teen Vogue.
Working under Lisa Kudrow was exceptional. My
best friend Alexis was working as an intern with
me. The chances of us going to Paris were
increased since the last intern left. I kept looking
at my watch now. Mom we are running late. I
explained to her.
We will reach in the right time. She comforted
me with that.
When we reached the airport mum didnt let me
board in. Mom, I will miss the flight. I looked at
her concerning eyes.
Take care. She hugged me once more and then
she let go of me. I waved back at her and soon
boarded the plane.
I remembered the dream I had. Maybe it was
something regarding my past. It felt real- all
these articles I wrote were about this girl Riana
and her twin sister Adele. Unfortunately
whenever I dream about those characters they
looked exactly like me.

Maam, please switch off your cell phone. The
air hostess asked me. I am sorry. I totally forgot. I
smiled and turned it off. Its okay, maam. She
smiled and moved forward towards otherpassengers.
I closed my eyes remembering the past. The more I
tried to forget it, the more it haunted me.
Ethan, why are you doing this? I love you.
Riana was begging him not to leave but he didnt
stop.
Ethan, I will die without you. Riana was crying
hardbut he didnt care to look at her.
Ethan. Riana screamed and my eyes opened.
Bad dream? I heard the passenger next to me.
I looked sideways to see his face and found
Ethan sitting in front of me.
I tried to calm my nerves. I am Selene. I tried to
smile.
Ryan He smiled back. Are you afraid of
heights? He pointedtowards my hand I was
gripping the seat.
No I abruptly freed myself.
The rest of the flight I remained quiet noticing
him. He smoked just like Ethan. Why did he look

exactly like him? This question was running
through my mind.
LAX airport was crowded as usual and I managed
to skip from Ryans sight. I accidently bumped
into something harder. I am sorry I wasnt
looking. I looked up and saw Ryan smiling back
at me.
It is totally fine with me but I cant say this
about other people. He smiled cheekily.
Is he trying to flirt withme? She thought in her
head.
Can I have your number? Ryans question hit
me like a a huge stone.
I looked down at my feet thinking carefully. I
understand if you dont want to. Ryan
continued.
I think we will let fate decide if we ever meet
again. I walked towards the car.
The chauffeur grabbed my bags as I sat inside the
car knowing Ryan wasnt looking my way.
Riana, I am telling you to stop this.Ethan was
shouting at her.
What did I do wrong? Riana questioned while
Ethan was packing his bags.

We cant stay together anymore. I am done with
you. Ethan was harsh. While she saw Ethan
descend downstairs she looked at herself in the
mirror. Her red curls were sprawled over theshoulders- she was wearing a jersey maxi which
almost covered every inch of her.
Ethan, you would regret this. Riana shouted out
and then she heard the door slam.
Selene. Alexis hugged me as I walked into the
office. How are you? I smiled at her.
I am very well, how are you? She gave me a
wide smile.
Something totally weird happened today. I told
Alexis who was intently looking at me.
I saw Ethan today. I continued. Ethan is your
book character. Alexis triedto remain calm.
I saw a person who looked exactly like him. I
confessed knowing what I was saying was totally
insane.
Selene, you must be dreaming and you thought
it was real. Alexis tried to smile.
I totally wished but it is not a dream. Trust me.
I was pleading in a way.
Selene, stop day dreaming. Alexis took a sip
from her coffee.

On my way back to the apartment I thought
about Ryan more than I should have but the
resemblance was indescribable. I pulled my hand
out of the coat and turned the key. Noticing thelights were on it meant Siobhan was home.
