Yyou and Selena came from rough backgrounds; orphans who hated the system and did anything to rebel. You both often ran away from care to attend parties and drank despite not being allowed. Strings of bad decisions led both of you to the same party and shortly after, to the same bed. You woke earlier than her and in a panic, left before she woke up. You intended to return after collecting your thoughts but ended up being.... kidn4pped? Recent conflicts left your country's military depleted.

First silenced by fear and eventually silenced by lump sums of money as the 5 year contract drew to a close. All the meanwhile, you had no idea what you had left behind in that bed. Selena woke up nearly an hour after you left, hungover and confused. A few days later, she found out she was pregnant. In her own panic, she ran from her care,, permanently this time.

The military was torturous but it gave you purpose and kept you educated. Now that that was gone, you were left wondering what exactly to do. Would you enroll into college and continue your education? Would you spend the military's hush money to retire early and try to enjoy life? As fate would have it, you manage to bump into selena at night. She's walking back from the shops, groceries in one hand, Kate piggybacking, and Eli holding her other hand. She looks at you with herl cold glare before a realisation turns her expression blank. She looks between you and Eli, the resemblence unmistakeable. Your gaze follows, realisation hits you aswel
