My name is April Hudson. I’m 19 years old. I have a daughter.

Life sounds pretty good right?

Not really its everything but;

To make a long story short I got pregnant early by Pierce Evans.

Pierce Evans was everything a girl wanted, smile that melted you,

Tall, athletic, dark black hair and these pale green eyes.

But that’s not the part I was talking about. I fell in love with the way he could make me hate him so quickly and love him all the same.

It was a love/hate type of thing.

After I got pregnant with Alex. Something in him changed. I woke up one day and he was just gone…

He was gone and out of my life…

Just like everyone else, my parents, and my friends. My friends weren’t my friends, and my parents would never a claim a pregnant teen-it would make them look bad.

I was adopted too so it wasn’t hard for them to get rid of me.

I had hit rock bottom in life, the man I loved walked out on me, I had a child, no money, and high school was hard enough, college wasn’t an option.

The fast food job I had wasn’t helping anybody. Every dime I had went to my girl. I went hungry a few days at a time. I took up stripping soon after.

I woke up late today because I had work last night. I got a call that I thought was a joke. I was offered a job to become a guard for a prince in Italy.

I just laughed at the prank caller and said sure why not. 

My daughter just woke up cause of my ringer; she and I share a bed.

I cried inside every time I looked at her. She had her fathers pale green eyes, with my dirty blond hair.

The same green eyes that made me fall in love, and ruin my life.

The only thing good that Pierce has ever given me was her.

A knock came at the door.

I pulled out my brass knuckles. I opened the door barely.

“Who is it?” I asked. They kicked my door. “Jade go and hide!” I stated.

I snatched the first guy that came before he could even take two steps.

“Leave now or you’re going have to have a close casket funeral for him.” I threatened.

“Do it then.” This old man said. I narrowed my eyes.

I lifted my hand and just when I was bout to damage his face.

They all started clapping and smiling. “Excellent work ms. Hudson. Now if you may can you let go of one of my best men.” The older man said.

I let him go.

“What is this?” I questioned. “Why the initiation, I couldn’t have anybody guarding the prince now could I? Especially if they’re a women, please don’t think it sexist of me.”

“I thought this was joke.” “Not at all. I’m doing this as a favor to an old friend of mine. Now leave your belongings they aren’t needed.” He said.

I guess my dad didn’t completely abandon me.

I just nodded. “Jade!” I called. She opened the closet door slowly. The old man looked at her, then me. He said something but it was too low for my ears to hear it.

“Lets get out of here before we miss our plane.” The old man said.

This was all happening for real? “Can you give me a moment alone with my daughter?” I asked he nodded. “Make swift we have to hurry.” He said closing the door behind him.

I got on my knees I hugged Jade hard. “Mommy? Are you okay?” I started crying softly.

“Why are you crying?” She asked.

I just looked at her. I smiled. Life isn’t 100% horrible just 90%.

We took one last look at our crappy apartment before we hopped in the limo and drove off to the plane.

But before you can really understand whats going on in the present I have to walk you back threw the past....when I first met Pierce, before my life was screwed up, and before Jade was even thought of....
