California
In Cal's bedroom

"Mia I honestly don't see what you see in Connie, he doesn't even treat you right like literally, all he does is make you feel like shit so you can come crying to me about it. And to make things even worse you know what he's doing but still staying with him because you love him, cmon Mia we're still kids with futures in front of ourselves and you wanna throw it all away for him."

"I know I know cal it's just... I don't know okay it's like he has some type of effect on me and I can't seem to just let him go. And I really do believe me I really wanna leave him but like you said I really do love him, even though he does things behind my back I still feel like at some point we can talk this out and have a happy relationship in the end."

".... Mia I know I'm your best friend and I really wanna trust you on this but I can't just keep seeing you cry over him, especially someone like Connie yes, yes, yes, I really understand you love him but promise me this if you and Connie doesn't work this out in 3 months cut him off because I don't wanna see you keep getting hurt okay my love please jus do it for me.."

"As I wiped my tears and took in what cal said I told her that I was gonna keep that promise just for her, because honestly she was 100% correct I needed to let him go but love was stopping me, And I couldn't let that happen so I ended up telling cal I was gonna text Connie and tell him we needed to talk."

California
Mia's driveway

"By the time cal dropped me off at home connie was already in my driveway waiting for me. Mia if things do go as planned in the car just call me or shoot me a text okay. Cal what do you mean Connie won't put his hand on me you know, cal sighed I know but I'm just saying because of the whole anger issues thing. I smiled as I looked at her, thanks cal I'm honestly glad your my best friend and not some trifling hoe, she giggled as she gave me a hug and kissed my cheek goodbye. When I got out the car I was lowkey scared because I didn't know how Connie was gonna react even though it's a talk we both really need. I got to the car and knocked on the window so he could open the door, when he opened the door I was literally hit with the smell of weed and Connie with a blunt in his hand of course I'm not even surprised smh..., as I got in the car he jus stared at me for what felt like forever until he actually said something."

"So what do you wanna talk about? I wanna talk about out relationship. Okay... go on I'm all ears.
If we're gonna have this conversation can you at least put the blunt away... I watched as he put it out on his ashtray and turned towards me motioning for me to talk. So basically the problem I see with our relationship is that you do things behind my back thinking I'm not aware of it talking to other girl literally infront of my face, then proceed to guilt trip me into thinking I'm the crazy one and I honestly I have a lot of love for you Constance, and it really hurts me deep down the way your treat me and expect me to not be mad at you.

So what I'm hearing is you wanna break up with me!? What? No out of everything that I said your telling me that's what you picked up? I mean ye... so you don't see any problem with the flaws I just called out like does none of that even matter to you Constance? It does and I understand how you feel and I really do love you Mia I really do, and now that you truly showed me how you feel I'll stop doing what I'm doing and focus on fixing our relationship... I'm foreal. I'm gonna trust you on this one but to make things clear I'm only giving you 3 months to prove that you really wanna save this relationship."

After I said that Connie pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead,my cheek and finally my lips, he put our foreheads together as we just stared at each other... I chewed my lip as I hesitated to ask this question. Love what's wrong u look like u have to shit, Connie giggled as I pushed his head away, no dickhead I just have a question... what's up hit me? I took a breath as I looked Connie in the eyes... con do you actually know what love actually means and feel like? I watched as his eyes widened for a second before scrunching up his eyebrows, ummm not really I mean I've felt love from my mom yeah but romantically... I'm still working on it."

As I heard his answer I finally figured out what we were gonna learn in these 3 months, okay Connie here's what we're gonna do, me and you is gonna figure out what love actually means and feels like okay, I said as I held a small smile on my face. Sure I mean why not do it with someone I'm learning to love. As me and Connie ended our conversation I took him in the house so we could go to sleep since it's literally almost 5 o'clock, as me and Connie got in my bed and cuddled I held him against my chest as I felt him getting comfortable... I love you Mia, before I could even reply he was out like a light, I chuckled and fixed myself under him... I love you too con."
