Prolougue

Third Person

Year: 1988

A woman stood at the kitchen counter cutting vegetables while the small television set that hung on the wall was playing a rerun of the dodgers game from the night before. The woman was humming a tune to herself as she took a carrot and placed it on the cutting board and began chopping it up like the others that had sat in a bowl. Just seconds later the front door was being opened then slammed shut with quite a lot of rage.

The woman looked up and seen her teenage daughter with a mixture of emotions planted on her face; anger, hurt, and sadness. Before she could ask her daughter what was bothering her the young girl an up the stairs and the woman could hear a door slam shut. The woman sighed and put down her knife and wiped her hands on her apron before waddling out of the kitchen and up the stairs holding her swollen pregnant stomach.

Once in front of her teenage daughter's bedroom she lifted her hand up and knocked on the door softly. There was no reply in return.

"Sweetheart can I come in?" The woman asked with her voice full of empathy.

Once again no reply but the woman did hear a few sniffles coming from behind the door.

The woman took matters into her own hands and didn't wait for an invitation to go waltzing into her child's bedroom and went in anyways. She opened the door and walked in only to see her daughters face planted into her pillow and crying.

The woman sat on the edge of her daughter's bed and rubbed her back soothingly.

"Baby, what's wrong?" She asked. In return she was met with mumbling from her child who's head was still burried in her pillow.

"Sadie, baby I can't help you if I don't understand what your even saying." The woman stated.

The girl reluctantly pulled her head out of her pillow and looked at her mother as she sat up 's face had tears streaming down her poor face and her eyes were red and puffy. She let out another sniffle. It pained the woman to see her child in such a state like this. For a mother to see their child hurt it broke their hearts. A mother just wanted to protect there babies from anything that could possibly harm them in any way. But of course she couldn't do that, or any mothers for that matter.

"Baby please tell me what happened." The woman begged.

Sadie let out another sniffle as more tears poured out of her brown eyes and down to her tanned cheeks.

"Kyle b-broke...up..with.. me... h-he said.. that he wanted to see o-other people..then f-five minutes... later hes w-walking down d-down the street w-with L-laci Peterson " Sadie managed to say in between cries and stuttering on a few words. By the end of her sentence she was full on crying once more.

The woman wrapped her arms around Sadie and rocked her from side to side gently while saying "shh" trying to calm her down. Her daughter had laid her head on her mother's shoulder and just cried. Cried her feelings out.

"Baby look at me." The woman said a few minutes later, Sadie lifted her head up from her mother's shoulder and looked at her.

The woman took a deep breath before speaking.

"You are going to fall in love so many times before you find the one you'll be with forever. So think of it this way; you're one more broken heart closer to happily ever after."

Sadie didn't say anything and just laid her head back onto her mother's shoulder.

"Time will heal your broken heart sweetheart I can assure you that."

"How do you know?" her daughter asked.

"Because I've been through it and yes I know it's painful but Sadie you will find somebody who will love you unconditionally,and treat you like a princess. He's gonna be there for you no matter what. Kyle wasn't the one to do that and he's not worth crying over baby."

Sadie simply nodded.

"Maybe you should date Lucas Palledorous." The woman joked to her daughter.

Sadie lifted her head off her mothers shoulder quickly and yelled. "Mom! He's my best friend!"

The woman just laughed.

"So? your Daddy was my best friend and look what happened; I have a beautiful teenage daughter and another baby on the way. Hell he still is my best friend to this day."

"Daddy was your best friend?" Sadie asked and in return her mother nodded.

"Yes he was."

"Mom how did you guys fall in love?" Sadie asked with pure curiosity in her tone

The woman wiped her daughters tears out of her eyes before speaking.

"How about I tell you the story while you help me with dinner." She bargained.

"Okay."

"Good now help up your pregnant mother."

Her daughter laughed and it felt good to hear her baby laugh instead of crying. Sadie had gotten up and held out her hand. The woman grabbed it and took it and said pulled using all of her weight to get her mother up.

In the end it had worked and they were now in the kitchen.

The woman was back to chopping and now her daughter had joined in.

"Okay so it was the year 1962 and I was thirteen years old and had just moved to a new place. It was two weeks before school let out for the summer. That summer was the summer that had started it all..." The woman started.
