It Happened So Fast

Once,   Mark Cooper said, 'Life has no remote, get up and change it yourself.' I was at the age of fourteen when the words of Mark cooper brought me down to earth till I finally hit puberty. I'm Ellie Stevenson- El for short. Being your average teenager, life wasn't as easy as most successful people describe it to be. For me, the past thirteen years felt like the life cycle of a butterfly---fragile at the beginning beautiful at the end. But once I turned fourteen, life treated my wings in a different way. I was broken and desperate only because of my parents. They had to move to Ireland for some important business deals. That's what my dad told me before they left everything behind, including me. I thought family and business are poles apart where family meant togetherness whereas business has nothing to do when it comes to family. Getting caught up in an emotional roller-coaster ride it was only my best-friend, Alex, who could help me.  Alex was the pacifier to my sobbing mouth, the umbrella to my rainy days, the sun to my blue sky. She was the only one who could rearrange the words to my life story since childhood. Basically hearing the phrase 'Love you to the moon and back' feels like receiving a matured, parents like love, from her.  Modestly, mine and Alex's friendship is homogeneous with Damon and Pythias.
