Hey guys! This is my first FF in about two years. I wanted to know what you guys thought about the prologue? Did I ping anyone's interest? Let me know!

Donna was dead.

Rio hung up and looked down at the man sleeping next to her. The tears were welling up in her eyes as she shook him awake.

"Hey wake up…. Tom…. GET UP!" She began to scream as he looked up at her.

"My name is James."

Rio didn't really care what his name was. The memory of how they had ended up back at her place was a mystery to her.

"I think you need to leave, whoever you are." She laughed despite of herself. Just another man she would kick out at the crack of dawn. Just another guy she brought home from the local dive bar. Mary would be so proud of you.

Watching as James began to dress himself she couldn't help but let the shame come over her. Here she was sitting in her shitty apartment watching another sleazy man dress himself and leave, while her younger brother grieved the loss of his wife.

"So, I guess I'll see you around." James voice brought her back from her thoughts. When she didn't respond he walked out of the door, slamming it on his way out.

Rio's tears began to flow freely now. How could this happen? Why Donna? Why her sweet little brother? He was such a good man. All the pain started coursing through her as she jumped off the bed and grabbed her duffle bag. She had to go to him. She needed to see that he was going to be alright. Charming was a four-hour drive, but she knew she could make it in three. Grabbing everything she needed for a short trip she slammed the door behind her as she sped down the stairwell.

There was nothing waiting for her back in Charming except pain. It had been nearly 8 years since she had been back. Kenny was just a baby the last time she had bothered visiting. Opie was the only thing about that town that she had ever loved, but after he had found Donna there was no reason for Rio to burden him any longer. As he grew into his role as a father his sister grew distant and bitter. It had always been the two of them, but after Kenny was born he no longer needed her. Rio hated herself for feeling jealous of her niece and nephew and her brothers new found happiness. That joy was all she ever wanted for her little brother.
