Keep Holding On

Prologue
Life was anything but normal for Seraphina Jackson. Not many people had a kid at the age of 16. And those that did most of those that did gave them up for adoption. For most of the people who actually did keep the babies they were babies made out of love not violence. But not for Seraphina. You see Sera went to a party when she was 15. It was her first BIG party because she had until now had gone to a private Christian school and hadn't really been well liked. So when she had been invited to a party her first day of her Freshman year at William McKinley High she jumped at the chance and so did her parents. They were just happy that she had finally found some friends. The only problem was that the whole thing was a sham. Well not entirely but in the end Seraphina wished more than anything that she had never gone to that party. She only knew she got there and something was pushed into her hands. She looked down and saw that it was a drink. She was told that whatever you do don't drink something you didn't pour yourself but this was her first party and she didn't want to offend people so she drank the drink. It was good. Sweet with a bit of a bite. She smiled and started to walk over to a chair when the room began to move. Spinning and Swaying making Sera dizzy.
Suddenly there was a boy in front of her. He was big and kind of scary and he pulled her up the stairs with Seraphina fighting the whole way but she just wasn't strong enough. Sera couldn't fight him anymore she just wanted to sleep. And sleep she did. When she woke she was naked from the waist down and her thighs were bloody. She grabbed around for her clothes and ran home her brother seeing her and grabbing her before she could run to the bathroom to wash. He threw her in the car and drove like mad to the hospital squealing to a stop pulling her into the emergency room.
"I need a doctor. My sister was raped." With those words the nurses bustled towards her wrapping their arms around her taking her towards a room. After a humiliating 5 hours talking with nurses, doctors, cops and a shrink Seraphina wanted nothing more than to go home and sleep, get some food and shower not in that order. She became a shell for the next few months until one day she started throwing up to almost everything she smelled which made her think at first she had the flu. But then other symptoms showed up and there she was just turned 16 and pregnant with the baby of a rape. The first thing she did was tell her mother and they went to the doctor. She is 2 and a half months pregnant. Her mother wants her to get rid of it immediately but Sera doesn't think she wants that.
"Mama all I want to do is have someone love me the way I love you." And with that the Jackson family was welcoming a new baby. Seraphina didn't want to go back to William McKinley while she was pregnant so her mother pulled her out and got her a tutor for while she was pregnant. After nine months Seraphina welcomed a tiny beautiful little girl into the world. Her name, Sosie Ruth Hope Jackson. She looked exactly like her mother which made Seraphina extremely happy. When Sosie was 2 months old Seraphina decided to finally get back to William McKinley. And that is where we start our story.
