        Before,
                way back before school started,
                there was a boy,
                the beginnings of love,
                and then my first time.

        Next?
                Major denial.
                That night never happened.
                There is nothing to worry about.
                I refuse to even consider the possibility.

        Now?
                It’s almost summer again.
                The police are at my doorstep.
                A baby was discovered in a dumpster nearby.

What happens after the cops enter my home and start asking questions?
That is where my story begins.
