Sixteen years ago Angel was roaming around the United States and ended up
east of Miami, Florida in a small town called Jefferson City. Angel met
someone. No one to special but he liked her and she liked him. He dated
her for about six months. During that time period he managed never to see
her during the day. She did think this a little odd, but she had such a
hectic work life that she was very busy during the day so she couldn't see
him anyway. He made it look like he ate popcorn at the movies and she
became so in love with him that she could see no faults in him. Her live
began to revolve around him. If they didn't go out one night she would
stay at home thinking about him. One night they went to her house and as
they were talking she told him she was pregnant. He was convinced she had
cheated on him because he believed he couldn't have children. He fled in
anger to California, and forgot all about her. But she never forgot him.
Nine months later a baby girl was born. She was her moms pride and joy,
thus she was named Hope. Even though Hope tried to be perfect her mom was
stressed and overworked. And she never got over Angel. Finally she turned
to drugs to heal her pain. Only that made it worse. Soon enough Hopes
mother was so far in dept they had to live their life in fear of drug
lords.
One night Hope and her mother did a reckless thing. They went for a walk.
It may be seemly harmless but not when people are after you. Hope and her
mother were both shot. Hope's bullet only grazed her arm while her mother
was hit straight in the chest.
"Promise me something My Hope," Hopes mother whispered as she laid in
Hope's arms. "promise me you'll find your father. Tell him I never
cheated. Tell him I always loved him."
"Mom there is no need for me to promise anything! You're going to make it.
I know you will. You have to!" Hope sobbed she could hear sirens in the
distance. Faster! She urged them silently. Faster!
"Hope, My Hope so strong. I love you honey. But I'm not strong enough."
"Yes you are!" Hope screamed, shaking now. Knowing her mom was dieing.
"Mom, mom, mommy!" Hope felt her moms breathing slow down; she started to whisper, "Promise me." "Shhhh." Hope whispered. "I promise. I will. I love you mom." Hopes mom's breathing slowly stopped. The ambulance came and Hope's mom was pronounced dead. Hope was carried into the ambulance whispering, "I promise, I promise."
