A.N. so the reason I've been avoiding this story for so long is because there are so many plot holes and errors. I've decided to redo it and change a few things around, but still keep the main theme. Sorry for the wait!

Kris Buckner walked out of the airport and into the misty British air. It had been nearly 2 years since she had seen her older sister, Shannon, or her older brother, Matt. Her mother's death took a toll on the family and it never fully recovered. Relationships between the father and children were strained and even the kids who normally never fought, rarely talked to each other now. Now Shannon had moved to England after Mrs. Buckner's death, completely devastated and emotionally unstable to deal with her grieving family. This left Mr. Buckner as emotionally unattached as ever, Matt focusing even harder than ever on school work at Harvard, and Kris stuck in the most important years of her life at the University of Michigan, dealing with problem after problem.

If there is one thing you should know about Kris is that she is stubborn. Months after graduating high school, she got into a fight with her father. The result— she had to pay completely for her college education. Her father's reasoning being that Kris would finally come to appreciate him. He was wrong.

She majored in psychology at Michigan and worked 3 jobs to pay off loans and dorm rent. When she was not studying or in class, Kris was waitressing, helping to run the school book store, or calling alumni for donations. Only on the weekends did she let her hair down and make out with the occasional random boy. Apparently her father never realized how self-sufficient she was.

Shannon, Kris, and Matt all got along wonderfully, but with the death of their mother and the changing paths of their lives, it wasn't until Matt was falsely accused of possessing drugs that Matt and Shannon talked again for the first time in over 5 months. In those five months, Shannon had married an English man who would take care of her and teach her the true meaning of fatherly love with their child that was on the way. Kris, bogged down with her jobs and school work had not communicated with either sibling except for a few brief moments in over 7 months.

The mess that is the Buckner's life can be summed up like this— Shannon was heart broken, moved to England and married Steve, the British man; Matt was a push over and let his room mate take advantage of him and moved to England to escape the wrath of his father and the ridicule of his former pupils; Kris, still self-sufficient as ever, finally finished college a year ahead of time and was stuck at the crossroads in life as to what to do next.

This is where our story begins.
