A New Life in NYC
How is it that no one saw Crystal make her trip to NYC? Well, on that fateful night, Crystal was out with her friends – a typical night for typical teenagers. They hung out together until midnight, which was the time Crystal decided to run away. She took whatever little she had on her and made her way to that bus.

Now in New York City, with a new identity, Crystal found odd jobs cleaning houses and a place to stay in the Bronx. It wasn’t long before Crystal made a new life for herself, as young as she may have been. It also didn’t take long for her to become pregnant with her first child. Don’t forget, to others, she was nine years older than her actual age.
