Sada Anthony, is a young black girl from LA with a group friends and a loving mother. After the loss of her father and major heartbreak of her teen years, the last thing she was looking for was love.
Especially if it happened to be with a straight g...
"Why would you drag me here?" I groan pulling up my pants and stepping over rocks.
"I told you to wear shorter pants. You're the one who decided to dress like you're in a 90s boy band." She giggles climbing over a rock. "We're almost there mama." She assures making me blush.
"How did you find this anyway?" I ask looking around at the wooded area.
"My Aunt Diana used to hike a lot and she would come here to get some solitude." I nod and look down so I can pay attention to where I'm walking. I do not need to break my ankle on these rocks. We walked in comfortable silence for a few more moments and then she stopped by a log laid across some rocks. "Here we are." She smiles proudly.
"This is- breathtaking." I say looking around in awe. She sits on the log and looks into the woods in amazement. I pull out my phone and snap a picture.
"I cherish this place so bringing you here means I cherish you too." She turns to me and smiles holding her hand out for me to grab. I come closer and grab her hand so I can steadily sit on the log beside her.
"Every moment I have with you I cherish. Because I never know if I'll get it again."
"I won't leave you." She says looking at me with seriousness in her eyes. I lace our fingers together and sigh believing her.
"I believe you. But I'm more worried about if I'll leave you."
I wipe my eyes quickly and look at the picture of Sada one more time. That day was one of the most peaceful days I've ever had.

It had been a pretty warm day and she decided it would be a good day to go for a hike up one of her favorite trails. I of course wasn't dressed appropriately but I still had a good time. I meditated for the first time with her there. I would do anything to have that again.
I tried reaching out to her the last few days but she'd never respond. My mother on the other hand has been texting her and tells me she's doing fine. But what her friends say is the opposite, she didn't come out of her room for two days and when she does she doesn't speak to anyone. She quit her job at Visionary's and doesn't even drive her car. When she actually goes to school, she walks.
I feel like complete shit because of how things ended and I wasn't doing too great myself. I haven't been able to sleep and being that I'm constantly on the road, talking to fans, performing and doing interviews I never have time to soak in that Sada's not a part of my life anymore.
My family wasn't happy with the way things ended but they came around to understand the position I was in. Choosing between two people you love is a pain I wouldn't wish on anyone. Not even my worst enemy.
