Andrew —

Andrew's life went awry from the start. His sister, Ashley, was very strange until she was sixteen. Their father left, and their mother... and their mother didn't care. She would leave them to starve for days at a time.

In high school, rumors started circulating that he... did something with his own sister, which was obviously crazy. And the only one who understood him was... Julia. A sweet, beautiful girl.

After a couple of months of dating, they started dating. Andrew didn't want to talk about their relationship, because he was dating her just to hurt Ashley and forget her... He loved Julia, but he didn't want to date her. At first, he was as warm and kind as he could be, but then he became cold and distant. Julia dumped him when she found out he was just using her. Andrew wasn't surprised.

A couple of years passed... Andrew's situation hadn't changed. Ashley continued to rant and rave like a total bitch. The devil himself had sent him such a sister. At some point, Andrew couldn't stand it anymore and simply left. He knew she would come looking for him, but now... now he just didn't want to be there.

He walked along the cold streets and came across a familiar high-rise building. Julia lived in one of the apartments, and she probably hated him... but what if he came? The last time they saw each other was when they were sixteen. Despite the separation, Andrew headed home.

Having reached the right floor, he hesitated. What if she no longer lived there? What if she kicked him out, or even worse, was no longer that shy girl? However, he knocked anyway. His hands were sweating.
