'You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there'

I was sitting in my bed looking out of my window watching the sunrise . Listening to my breathing and Kara's next to me because she demanded that she slept in my bed tonight - well last night .

I was leaving for America today to start and NYU in a few weeks . Freshman orientation is in about a week but Regina thought I should get to know the city a little bit before I started .

I agreed because it wasn't like I was leaving from Pennsylvania to New York . I was leaving for a different country .

I would be lying if I said I wasn't terrified because I am . Every aspect of my life is going to change and one very important one won't be there anymore .

I got roomed with this kid named Louis I think I only gazed the letter quickly when I got it . I was so nervous just of everyone aspect of it that just because I wasn't thrown out or my scholarship wasn't revoked I didn't pay attention .

I can't believe I'm actually going to leave my family . I'm fine leaving my mom - she doesn't even know that I'm a father much less that Kara exists .

A few nights after Kara was home from the hospital ,I snuck back into my own home and gathered all the things I could in the shit amount of time I had . 

She hadn't tried to contact me nor I have her . She's not worth knowing me anymore or knowing Kara. She's the most beautiful, sweet girl I've ever had the pleasure of knowing .

She looks so much like her mother sometime it throws me off . I have so much hatred for Genevieve . She left her baby right after delivering her due to complications that could have been prevented. But no she had to snort all that coke while pregnant .

I thank the stars everyday that Kara was as healthy as any seven month old delivered baby could be . Watching her in that little cubicle for days that turned into weeks making sure her breathing was steady was the worst moments of my life .

Her tiny chest - shaking with every breath and  my heart stopping and waiting to beginning again to make sure the breath was complete .

I've never known that kind of love and devotion and nervousness for something or someone in all my eighteen years . 

It feels like that feeling again now with her tiny hand clutching my finger knowing when she wakes up I'll have to leave her . I plan on visiting but I don't know when that would be exactly .

I know that as soon as I land in a different country and know that she's not next to me holding my hand I'll break . Even though now that she's forming memories and none being that I'm  her father , I still play a significant role in her life . So does Kara and her son Kai.

She believes that they will get married when they are older and we will be family for life weather we like it or not .

Kara - well older Kara is another one who convinced and pushed to go to a university out of the country and continent .
