Lorenzo POV:
“Nala... Please don’t lie to me.” I say looking at the phone in her slightly shaking hands.
“You know Lorenzo since we’re trying to put our past behind us and all I figured it’s time I tell you why you haven’t met my family.”
Nala keeps her eyes down as she pulls me towards the couch and sits next to me rubbing her belly.
“My father passed away when I was 15, and my mom had a very hard time dealing with it. She used a lot of drugs and other people in my family tried to help her but she ended up pushing them all away from both me and her. She thought she could raise me while still being drugged off anything she could get from her dealer.”
Jesus, I knew whatever she was hiding from me must have been bad but I didn’t expect this.
“My goodness Nala, I’m so sorry.”
She holds
