Hey guys! I wrote this prologue last night and it is very close to my heart. Hope you guys like it. For the fan fiction that I started previously, I will be putting up the next chapter sometime soon.
As she lay on her back on her bed, she felt the familiar, intense pain along her spine that made her incapable of thinking of anything else for a few seconds every night. She tucked her phone under her pillow not before lighting up the phone display to check for messages one last time.
Khushi was a young nineteen year old with the dreams of witnessing the magic of the galaxy and stars and space. She often tried to look for good in every situation, but sometimes the demons in her mind wouldn't let her. She knew that she was on the path to recovery, but on slow days like how today had been, she couldn't help but think about all the things in life; her future, relationships, her actions. Everything was carefully analysed in her head beforehand. However, rarely did this kind of thinking help her. Instead of preparing her for situations, it made her more vulnerable. It forced her to use her emotional strength more often than required, which then left her unprepared for situations when she actually needed it. She was the most cheerful person, the happiest, the most giving, but the battle that she had to fight to reach where she was today, that was a long way from hell.

Recovery
It was a long night. Khushi had her exams coming up. She shut her notebooks and placed them in the orderly fashion that she preferred: the longer notebooks at the bottom, the shorter ones on the top with the calculator placed right in the middle with its edges parallel to the ends of the notebook. She switched the table lamp off and proceeded to climb onto her bunker bed. It really had been a long day. She was up and working for more than 12 hours.
