Sitting on the bench at the park with Cam, the two of us watched Mason and Giovanni play, I smiled to myself watching them interacting with one another it was just adorable.
Giovanni is the same age as Mason, and he's Cam's little brother, her parents adopted him legally a few months ago after fostering him for since he was a newborn.
"Soooo, update me on everything boo! I know you've been busy with Mase so I'm not too pressed about a text back." Cam said as I glanced over at her and chuckled.
"Things are okay, a lot has happened, I recently talked to Sheila about her possibly seeing Mason, Chris have been hanging out more and-"
"Wait, you talked to Isaiah's mom?," She question as her neatly arched brows furrowed. "after months of no communication? How'd that go? I wanna hear about Chris too, but this is more important." She said as she leaned back and folding one leg over the other.
I looked over to see Gio and Mason still playing before focusing my attention on Cam, I then sighed running a hand through my hair.
"It was...I don't know, I went over there to take the rest of Isaiah's things that I had, I kept a hoodie of his, but that's all I wanted because I still have photos of us in a box on the top shelf of my closet. But she was apologizing about mistreating me before and while I was pregnant, saying that she knew Mason was Isaiah's the whole time, but she just had her doubts... She gave me a letter he wrote before he passed..." I sighed looking at Cam whose facial expression read sympathy.
"A letter? what did it say?" Cam questioned putting hair into a bun, her hazel eyes peered over to the boys before looking at me once more.
I swallowed down the lump forming in my throat, I didn't want to cry, I've cried enough but grief was really a hard thing sometimes. I'd be fine one minute, then the next I'll cry about missing Isaiah.
"The letter basically said that he'd miss Mason and I, and that he was sorry for any pain he'd cause for doing what he did, it was a lot Cam. He also said he wanted me to find a love that reminded me of him, I still don't think I'll let his mom see him. I'm not ready for that at all."
Cam rubbed my back soothingly as I continued to talk, I was trying so hard not to cry but as I kept going, it just came out.
"Aw Tae," She cooed still rubbing my back before pulling me into a side hug. "It's okay babydoll, you do that when you feel like you're ready. Let me ask you a question." She said as I looked over at her, she reached over and wiped my tears for me with a napkin.
"Does Chris remind you of Isaiah, is that why you chose to step away for a little bit?"
I felt my cheeks be coming warm at the mention of Chris as I nodded. "Kind of, he reminds me of him in so many different ways, at first I was trying to ignore it, but... I don't know, Mason has even become attached to him. I haven't talked to him in a few days though, I was even going to invite him to his birthday party in a few weeks but I don't know anymore." I said as a sigh escaped my lips,
