Prologue


Young and pregnant she was. At 16, she and her boyfriend of a year gave into desire by expressing that love. He had loved her with all his heart and that same night she told him those same words he had been hoping to hear the first time he had ever told her he loved her as well.

A night of passion, making love to the person who made you complete on levels you couldn't quite comprehend. Never did the usage of protection come to mind, as adrenaline is what pushed them to take the course of action they did. A true love story they shared indeed. But in the cards fate dealt them, the happiness wouldn't last forever.

He was killed, his death was noted as being one of accident. Even though she never felt it was, she knew someone had probably been after him. She couldn't prove it, if her feelings were true. Left alone and pregnant, the daughter he would never get the chance to know she turned to someone else. She turned to her close friend. He had always been so kind to her, she wouldn't think otherwise of him. Not having known his past while he was away. But she was still his friend.

He on the other hand sought more than friendship from her and knew he would get it, now that her boyfriend was out of the way in more ways than one. He would finally have his chance with her and would attempt to see past the fact she was having someone else's child. And not his, or not yet at least.

Months passed as he did what she thought he would. Still living with her loving family, they loved her so but not him. They felt he had more planned for their daughter than the false act he put onto to her. Even though they couldn't tell her. Not wanting to push her away.

After high school, she kept her promise of one day to going to the school of her dreams. She had the money too and her daughter would be traveling along side with her. Though her family was quite reluctant to let her go and their granddaughter. She was going to be leaving soon. Even her friends were complaining, knowing the circumstances of the situation. They didn't want her to go but they knew it was her dream and of her ex-boyfriend who had died those years earlier.

She wouldn't be in New York alone, as all would have thought. He wouldn't let her, he being the friend who was with her the minute her boyfriend died. But once in New York, the plan was to move in together and share an apartment as friends. Friendship however wasn't the answer as he became more to her. She finally let him in, after all that time of not wanting to move on. She finally did so only to regret it later.
In New York, lived his past life filled with drugs, in which she wanted no part of. Too late…….

From that moment on, he knew not to let anyone get in his life again. Not the way she did, he wouldn't let anybody else hurt him the way she did. That was in the past after all. He wasn't in Chicago anymore, he was in New York and was loving it. Life was simple and lonely at times, but what did he care. He was happy or so he thought….
