After Shelby has her daughter, she disappears. It's as simple as that.
Her heart is completely gone, with this little baby girl. But she knows she cannot raise a kid right now. Not when she is still a kid herself. So, she tries to forget it ever happened, but it doesn't work, and there's a hole in her heart. An ache in her heart. Every year, she finds herself looking for children the same age as her daughter would be.
It hurts, but she can't stop.
Years pass. Her heart breaks a little more every time she encounters anyone named Jessica. Because that would have been her name. If Shelby had kept her.
She moves on. Shelby swears she does. And just as she has her eyes finally - firmly - fixed on what's in front of her rather than behind, a teenage girl walks up and rocks her world.
A girl, not named Jessica at all. Not the baby Shelby gave up, but a young woman.
Her name is Rachel.
The End.
