My Gram always told me to be careful who you lay up with. I should've listened. In college things never go as planned. I was a dancer, quiet student and minimal friends. One night after a game I went to a party and had a sober one night stand with Byron. Brown skin, perfect white teeth, athletic, has his way with words, beautiful brown eyes. I was weak at the knees. A month after constant hooking up, he acted as if I didn't exist. Few months later I found out I was pregnant. I never told him. I moved to Seattle closer my grandparents. I wanted out of Florida and away from Byron. I didn't want to take away his chances of having a real life and career. It's been 2 years since I've seen him. He still doesn't know that I had our daughter, Bakari Aida Harrison. She was born January 1st at 7 lbs 6 oz and 19 in. She was the reddest little thing with a head full of hair. The moment I saw her I knew my life had more meaning to it. She looked like Byron more and more everyday. She had my eyes and hair, his active personality and determination and both of out stubborness. I knew I needed to say something but I never had enough courage to ruin his life like that.
