Hello my name is April Destiny Watkins, but it hasn't always been that way. In the following short novel you will learn about my past (I'm forewarning you some of it can be very disturbing to most people). To begin with, my birth name was April Ann Young and I was born into the chaos and destruction also known California Compton. Sharon Ann Vinton was my biological mother's name and well... let's just say she wasn't wrapped too tight. As you can already tell she gave me my birth father's last name (his name is Cornelius James Young) the sad thing about it is Cornelius left as soon as he found out Sharon was pregnant. So I'm guessing I was an accident. Life didn't get better from there it just got worse.
