Dear butterfly,
My sweet sweet baby Jane, did I ever tell you how well I know you? You can't hide nothing from me baby. Since the moment that I walked inside your room and found you sorting your cloths I knew what you were thinking of doing. I'm actually surprise that you haven't tried doing it earlier. When I stare into your eyes this morning I saw the same look of determination as your mother. I knew that there was no turning back for you. You're so much like your mom and you don't even know it. You weren't born for this life style and you definitely weren't meant to be cage up. Butterflies are meant to be free and to fly all over the place just like you. You are meant to expand your horizon, to spread your wings and fly to find your own happiness. Go out there and eat the world. Be happy, live, love, laugh, and cry. Remember baby in life it's not important how many times you fall down what counts is how many times you stand back up. I want you to have this money it's some of my life savings take it and start your new life. The only pay back that I want is for you to be happy. I love you always and forever. I will pray for you every night baby
Love you always
Nina
By the time I finish reading the letter I am crying my eyes out all over again. I press the letter to my chest she knew all along what I was planning on doing and she never try to stop me or even snitch me out. No one has never compare me to my mother before. That is the best compliment I have ever herd. I look like my mom. The guy next to my hands me a napkin "Are you one of those people that doesn't have a place to live?". I take the napkin and bust out laughing "Some thing like that". Now that I think about it I really don't have a place to live. "Hey remember the only rule in Vegas" he says. "Which is?" I clean my tears. "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" he answer. I smile because he has no idea how true that saying is for me. I'm no longer Jane Santana the daughter of the famous "El Rey" from now on I'll be Jane Carter just like it's states on my ID. I fold the letter and tuck it away. "You're right" I close my eyes and daze out

"Please stay in your seat and buckle up we will be landing shortly thank you" the voice of the pilot wakes me up. How long have I been sleeping? I didn't even know how tired I was I guess everything that happen finally caught up to me. "Excuse me," I turn to the man beside me "can you tell me what time is it?". He looks down to his watch yeah he actually has a watch on "It's a little pass 10 and my name is Mark by the way" he extends his hand. "I'm Jane" I shake his hand. Mark looks like he is in his late 20's. He is actually pretty good looking he has dark short hair, with dark chocolate brown eyes, and a warm friendly smile. "Nice to meet you Jane. Are you here for vacation?" he ask. "No actually I am here to stay" I say with excitement. "Really?" one of his eyebrow lifts up "Well let me be the first one to welcome you to this beautiful city. I wish you the best of luck and if you ever need a job or a friend give me a call" he hands me a card with his name and number. "Thank you so much and I'll keep that in mind" I tuck the card inside my pocket. If every one is as friendly as Mark then I have a good feeling about New York. "Thank you for flying with us this morning I hope you enjoyed the flight and enjoy this beautiful city that is New York over and out".
