Xander: Part 1, The Beginning — Anne Mercier

We met at the age of eight. That day on the playground was a turning point in my life. She stole my heart with just a glance as she sang off key. But nothing's perfect. I figured out pretty quickly she was too good for me, so I let her go.
I thought I was doing the right thing--until I realized I wasn't. 
She was my everything and without her I was nothing. When we reunited, my heart became whole. My life had meaning. We loved fiercely and completely. Life was perfect. The more success I gain with Falling Down, the further away I'm pulled from Tera. But she gains success of her own, and the distance grows immeasurably. She wants me to live my dreams and I want the same for her. We both know our love is strong enough to survive time and distance. Then the unthinkable happens and nothing will ever be the same again.
