Blood Diamonds: Chapter 17

~Charnae P.O.V.~

My thoughts had come to a stop. I just sat there trying to figure out how I felt. It was like I couldn't distinguish my feeling. Was I mad? Was I hurt? Was I sad? What was I?

"Charnae?" He asked in a questionable tone as he picked up my chin. I felt a few more tears that had clung to my cheek, break away and fall freely.

"I'm staying by your side. But Travie if her baby is yours and if being in a relationship with me serves to be a problem with your child. You need to tell me. There is a possible child of yours that is now involved and I don't want to come between your relationship with your child." Most people wouldn't even mind that fact that their significant other has a child. I do because if I'm in the way of their relationship, I can easily be removed and the problem is solved.

"Thank You." He motioned for me to lay down next to him and I willingly did. I snuggled right up against him as he held me in his arms. This right here was the Travie I loved. When he put away his Thug Exterior and allowed himself to let his inner emotions surface. "You really are the best Charnae." He kissed my temple softly and I couldn't help but giggle a little. "What's so funny?"

"Your little sole patch you got going on tickled me when you kissed my temple." I looked up at him through my eyelashes and saw a cute smile on his face.

"This is how it should be with us. No fighting, just laughing and enjoying each other."

"Well then stop with all the jealousy. I don't understand why you have so much jealousy when it comes to me talking to other people. I can meet and hang out with new people as long as it stays on a friendship level, which is how I keep it." Unless he either was insecure about himself, cheating, or he doesn't trust me if not a combination of all 3.

"I know, I need to work on that. I'm sorry Charnae, I really am."

"I really hope you are. It takes two to make a relationship work and I'm pulling my end." Was it really such a bad thing for me to hang out with Joel? I didn't see it was a problem because he's just a friend, I mean, I am allowed to have friends but was it really such a problem?

Was I the problem in our relationship?

~Sonya P.O.V.~

I was back at my Mama's house just sitting in my room.

I'm not gonna lie, what Dontario and I have is something special and true but I hated that we had to keep it a secret. Sometimes something good is better left not having.

8:53 p.m. -Me: Hey Dontario

8:54 p.m. -Dontario: aye girl wassup?

8:59 p.m. -Me: I think we need to break up. I love you to death but being that you're Travie's best friend and I'm his cousin, the fact we have to keep our relationship a secret is already a bad sign. I don't want us to hate each other, but go back to being acquaintances so Travie isn't suspicious.

9:02 p.m. -Dontario: If that's what you want then aight. We still cool though ma :)

9:03 p.m. -Me: Thank You Dontario :) I'll see you around

9:04 p.m. -Dontario: peace ma

I was sad that I ended something that was so good but he's definitely not someone I'll just easily get over. We had a strong relationship but I'll just have to take it day by day.

Well this sucks. Now what was I going to do in my spare time? Charnae is busy with Travie so I can't hang out with either of them and I'm home alone.
