SENSITIVE TOPIC AHEAD !!
I woke up the next morning to a message on my phone. I checked the time and it was 2:13. I opened my message from my mom. It read
Text mode -
Mami 😽🤞🏼- hey I had to leave early this morning because we got some very bad news. Your cousin was out with some friends. His friends didn't make such good choices and he was caught up with them. He tried running and was shot 3 times. He is in critical condition. If you want to come over right now you can or wait till the morning. If you need to talk I'm also here. Your cousin is also going under surgery because he was shot in his spine. They don't know if he'll make it or not. Call me love 💗.

I couldn't believe what I just heard. How could a man do such thing. This world is just messed up. My favorite big cousin could die right now because of his friends careless actions. I immediately started crying because that was someone I was close to as a child. I called Teo even though the time zones were different. He didn't answer the first time so I tried again. He answered.

I slept till 11 am and got up drowsy. I got dressed in some comfortable clothes and called my friends to give the news. Melonie was being a bitch about it and didn't care. Sophie asked if she could come over to help me feel better. I just wanted to be alone tbh. I was stressing out. My cousin getting shot and the fact that I wasn't as careful as I thought. People were showing up to my house asking for my mom. I swore I did a good job at keeping it on the down low trusting close friends. I don't understand where I went wrong. I don't want to cause any tension between me and my mom because i've had people over. This is freaking me out. I need a day to myself.
I laid for a bit and put my phone on do not disturb. I got up and took a shower. Did my face. Exfoliated and ordered me my favorite food. I was going to go get my nails done after I ate but people kept coming to my door. I had no one I could trust around because how did the word get out. I don't understand. I knew a few of the body guards that my mom used. I asked them to just watch over the house for me. My mind was all over the place. I couldn't even pick how I wanted my nails. So I just let her freestyle.
Mateo POV
I know Chas is going through a hard time right now and she's completely shut everyone out. What she's doing isn't healthy. She knows i'm out working and can't help her. I wish I could though. She's heavily been influencing me more than I noticed. My brother loves her too. She's perfect. It's wrong but I know our connection is great. I can't let her go through this alone.
