Chapter 9 Abandoned

• ~Evan~
• I swear I’ve been out of it since Natalia told me the news. I can’t believe it. I used to wish for this, but over the years, I’ve let it go. Now I find out I could come face to face with the woman who destroyed my world. She has made it impossible to trust or to love ever again.
• Cooper’s mother was someone I had been with since we were young. We gravitated toward one another because of our similar backgrounds. My mom died in childbirth, so I never met her. My father landed in jail shortly after, and I remember being told that another prisoner killed him. No other family could be found, so I had to stay in foster care. I was bounced around from home to home before landing in a group home until I turned 18.
