Chapter 3

✨ Santania pov ✨
I always wanted a picture
Perfect relationship but Cortez
Wasn't the person for that life.
After seeing Cortez tonight
I thought I would be worried
But i actually wasn't anymore
Like it had gon away once I seen
Him I think I was trying to
Deny the fact that I still had feelings
for Him after almost 2 years.
I get home and me and
Justice sit in the living room
I hate my life ghee I say
I told u this way gon happen
She says.
I know I should've listen I say.
You eventually have to tell him
He deserves to at least know
And decided if he wants to
Be in their life or not
Justice says and
She was right
I sigh, I want my them to meet him
But but it's hard to trust someone
After the hurt you and did so
Much fucked up shit to you and
Make you look stupid while
You had their back while they
Constantly did you wrong.
I can ask Kyra if she got his
Number and you can contact him
And y'all can meet up and Have
A conversation and see what doing
Now days or see if he changed or
If he still the same.then
You can let him meet the
Trips she explains.
Yeah I say looking at her
Sometimes I don't in what I will
Do with justice by my side.
Yeah,okay whatever I say .
☀️ Next day ☀️
