Prologue
Tuesday, August 14, 2029
Hi, I’m Maci Martin. I’m sixteen years old. I’m the second-oldest child in my family. My parents, Zack and Maya, had my oldest sister, Savannah, when they were 16 years old. They had me at 18 years old. Mom had my sister, Mackenzie, at 20 years old.
My brothers, Dylan and Bentley, and my sister, Meaghan, were born when my Mom and Dad were 22 years old.
My sister, Savannah, whom we call Anna, is 18 years old now. She is a mom to my 2-year-old niece, Janna Nicole, who was born on March 7th, 2026. She’s been with her boyfriend, James Fuller, for over 3 years now. They got unexpectedly pregnant 3 months into dating, and I think, even given the situation they were in, they have been doing an amazing job raising their daughter.
I’m sixteen years old, as I said before, and I never had a serious relationship, that was before I met Cole Mathews. That’s a story for you. It’s a rollercoaster of so much emotion.
Welcome to my story, where I fell for Cole Matthews, and we became a family with our daughter, Vanessa—— until I fucked it all up.
Our daughter is only 3 months old, and we aren’t together anymore. I’m sad, but at least she gets to grow up knowing her Dad. Co-parenting isn’t what I pictured for my daughter, but what can I do?
I can’t change what happened. And it was my fault.
Our story starts the night I met Cole. Hold on tight, this is a rollercoaster of a story.
