Prologue "life flashing before eyes"

She had felt herself go black her soul slipping out of her body as her life flashing before her eyes. The very first memories she usually couldn't remember off the top of her head, the memories of her birth, the bright lights suddenly filling up the larger space, doctors all around. "It's a girl!" They said. Then the hospital later she remembered being brought home and seeing her older sister for the first time. She remembered her baby and toddler years of playing and being a wild little girl. How she felt sad when her sister went off to kindergarten when she was three. How she always loved to play "pretend". She remembered when she was four and wished her birthday came faster so she could go to kindergarten that September.

Then her young school years came to mind her first day of kindergarten, how at first the kids wouldn't talk to her because she was a little wild. One of the bigger kids took her cookie at snack time then this boy came up to her and gave her half of his own. They introduced themselves to each other and became quick friends. In first grade when they were learning to read and how her best friend (the nice boy from kindergarten) was having trouble reading so she helped him. "You helped me last year now it's my turn to help you." She said to him. She remembered his smile. She smiled back. She remembered when she was in second grade when her best friend moved next door to her. Then she remembered in third grade the start of her tomboy stage she had to play soccer and baseball that sometimes overlapped each other. She had also tried to stop her best friend from getting into a fight that later she joined in because she couldn't stop it alone. Then they ended up in getting their parents called in for a conference.

Middle school came along. She still was in her tomboy stage and she always hung with the guys. They didn't mind having her around they treated her as one of their own buddies. Throughout middle school her and her best friend liked to tease each other a lot he became a bit more of a bad boy such as not doing his homework. She kind of followed him with this and always got in trouble for it. Surprisingly, they both passed middle school.

Junior high was basically the same she was still a tomboy and hung with the guys, which the girls in their class teased her about. But she took their insults as compliments by saying. "Why thank you!" Always with a return of "That wasn't a compliment." She just shrugged saying sarcastically "Well I took it as one" and left. In eighth grade toward the end of the year her best friend begged her to help him because he wasn't passing. So she did and they both graduated and went through to high school.

High school was a bit different she played sports but wasn't as much of a tomboy as she used to be. She had noticed this when she found that she had feelings for her best friend when he was dating another girl. She watched them together everyday with a sense of jealousy. Her sister sat next to her one day and told her that she noticed this. "You have feelings for him don't you?" her sister asked wisely. "No that would be weird he's my best friend." She denied although it wasn't the truth. "I've watched you look at him your jealous, I've seen this situation many times." Her sister said. "Of course you have your popular." She mumbled. "Just go up to him and talk to him, tell him what you feel." Her sister suggested. "How they are always kissing and talking. And they are both in all the same classes." She said. "That's where the plan comes in.," her sister said. "What plan?" she asked.

She then remembered in between classes, she pulled him into a storage room. "Who's there?" He asked. "It's me man" She said. "What do you want?" he whispered. "I just want to talk to you since we never get to do that anymore because you're always with May. I just want to tell you something." She said. "Ok" he said impatiently. "I want to tell you something too." He said. "I-I like you-like you!" They said at the same time. They both gasped. The bell rang "We'll talk later! I'll explain then." He said quickly. Then kissed her. Later he revealed that he was forced into the relationship with May he didn't want to. In 10th grade May broke up with her friend. She comforted him and after a while they dated through 11th grade also in 11th grade her dad died he comforted her. In 12th grade she found out she was having her best friend's baby. It was weird because they were going to start on a job that included the fear of being killed the once out of high school. They still wanted to keep this baby, so they didn't do anything. Also her mother died, again her friend comforted her. When senior prom came around they weren't sure if they were going because she was due early the next month. They decided to go for a short time under caution. They were fine.

Then one very vivid memory came to mind she was still 17. She was lying in a hospital room it was white walls and a tiled floor with a few rugs scattered around. She was lying on a bed it was early afternoon, looking out the window at the kids playing in the playground next to the hospital. The bed wasn't that comfortable but the pillows made up for that. Her boyfriend and best friend along with her sister were sitting on the chairs within the room the chairs were red. She felt a strong pain, it filled her young body she tried not to scream but it was too much. "Don't worry it'll be over in a bit" He comforted her. It was late at night before she was ready. "Ok come on now push, you can do it." A doctor said. "Hold my hand." Her boyfriend said. She did what she was told and at midnight on a hot night in June, the baby's cries were heard. It was cleaned up and her boyfriend cut the cord. "It's a girl!" He whispered in her ear. "Holy shit it's a girl!" She whispered excitedly as the little baby was placed in a white blanket with animals on it, in her arms. She felt tears run down her face. Her boyfriend kissed her. They named the baby Maria Isabella.

They hadn't been married but they both took care of the little girl with the help of The new mother's sister. The memories of the little girl growing up were shown. Then a memory of her talking to her sister. "If anything happens to me and her daddy I'll leave you in custody of Maria." She gulped. Then the memories of the mission and how she and her best friend were on the same team appeared then the last memories of her revealing to one of her other teammates about the child. More memories appeared before everything went black then, started to get brighter.
