Prologue

I never used to use the word "best friend" because I was always told that you're best friend is someone who will be in your life forever, and I never really thought that any one would want to be in my life forever. I see all these kids in school using the word so loosely with people who they'll probably forget about once they graduate. I was always so used to being surrounded by good friends but still being alone. But one day something, or should I say someone changed that.

Piper Chapman.

The first person that I have ever called a best friend. At first I thought it was a huge mistake to take that leap, but seeing the smile on her face when I said it made me fell like the best person alive. After that I always told myself that this was the best decision that I've ever made. We were both from two different worlds, at one point we really didn't like each other, but one day every thing changed. If that change didn't happen I honestly don't know where I'd be in my life. Without Piper, I probably wouldn't be here.

My name is Alex Vause, and this is how I found my best friend.
