Chapter 14

Manny's POV

It has been 16 years since I first met the girls, 15 years since my book was first published. It had been a huge success. It was even on Oprah's must book club. The girls names were all changed to protect their identities, but I was able to share my profits from the sales to help them all out.

I stayed in touch with everyone throughout the years.

Jenna and K.C. decided they were too young to be parents. They placed Ty in a good home with an open adoption. They spilt up shortly after. Jenna went on to become a recording artist in Nashville, while K.C. went to university to become a social worker. They still communicate with each other and visit Ty together for holidays and his birthday. Neither of them married or had any other children to date.

Alli gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl named Caleb Jonathan, and Calli Joanna. Johnny stayed by her side. She was able to graduate early and join Johnny in university. They were married the day Alli turned 18. Johnny is a English teacher at a school for at risk youths, while Alli is working to become an ob/gyn. They are expecting another boy in late September.

Bianca, finished high school and went to work at a factory. Her daughter Bailey has seen Drew 4 times in her life. He never came around, and Bailey has at least four half sibalings that Drew also refuses to acknowledge. Bianca, works a lot to keep a roof over their heads, and is not happy that her daughter has followed in her footsteps and will be becoming a mother in 4 months, making Bianca a grandmother at 30 years old.

Clare and Eli married shortly after Noah's birth. They were planning their future, her grade 11year of high school Clare found a lump on her back and was diagnosed with cancer. She fought very hard for a year and a half, when the cancer took her from us. Leaving Eli to cate for Noah alone and heartbroken. Eli and Noah moved to NYC where Eli attended NYU, just as he had promised Clare he would. He is now a successful film director, and will be directing a movie he wrote in Clare's honor. He said it is their love story.

Maya and Owen never patched their relationship. Owen is a great father to Harper. Owen went on to be a pro hockey player for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Maya went to TU and is now a music teacher. They meet up once a week for a family dinner with Harper. Neither of them has been linked to anyone else romantically. If you ask me they're still in love, but can't get over the past.

As for me, I got married about 5 years ago to wonderful guy named Jay. We are looking into adoption to start our family. After Craig found our son, I couldn't stay away. I finally broke down and meet this great kid named Daniel. I'm very proud of his accomplishments in life, and he is proud of mine. I know I did what was best for him, and he thanks me for it.
