Cheating Fate

Prologue

Graduation day. It's supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life. The one day you know your parents are proud of you. The day you've been working up to for the last twelve years. And you're supposed to be glad--no, ecstatic.

Don't get me wrong. Just about all of my classmates were. All the girls were hugging while crying tears of joy, and all the guys were slapping each other on the back in congratulations.

But not me. I mean, sure, I graduated, and this would be the beginning of a new chapter of my life, but not because I would be going off to college in the fall, in pursuit of becoming the doctor I had always wanted to be. No. I was pregnant. Two months pregnant to be exact, and to make matters worse, the father had only wanted me for sex.

He dumped me when I found out, but not because of the baby. I never told him about her. He dumped me because he didn't have feeling for me anymore. That's what I get for dating a player.

Now I was going to have to raise our--my--baby by myself because abortion was out of the question, and I didn't think I could carry something for nine months, then turn around and give it away.

I know it might sound selfish, and maybe it would have been in my daughter's best interest to have given her up for adoption, but . . . I would have regretted it. I was determined to raise my baby, and of course my family would help me.

So that's what I did. I survived all the sleepless nights, and all the jobs I had to go through, trying to raise enough money so I could move into my own place. For almost four years I did this while her father was off at college, probably partying.

And for those of you who have ever been a single mother then you're probably familiar with the saying, "Hope for the best and prepare for the worst" because that's what I lived my life by.

Although, through those years, I really thought I was over InuYasha. That is until he made his way back into my life.

I finally know what those authors who write about cruel twists of fate are talking about because I was a victim. A victim of the worst kind of twists, . . . but it changed my life for the better.

Now for those of you who are willing to hear the whole story, starting from where InuYasha walked back into my life, well, then I'll gladly tell it to you.

AN: Yeah I know what you're all thinking (well the ones who have read my other stories) Why am I starting another story? Well, have you ever had a story just pop into your head? I swear that's what happened. I was going to wait until I finished Stuck With You to post this but I just had to see what you guy think about it. Don't worry. I am going to finish Stuck With You. I will force myself to. Just tell me what you think about this one okay? Thanks.
