You trying to are you trying to protect him and tell me that he didn't do this Is that what you're trying to do Cuz I'm pretty sure your texts to your sisters are going to say otherwise Yeah I'm pretty pretty sure

Here's here's the deal there's no reason to protect him we already know that there was an altercation and you're injured from it so it's just a matter of telling us what happened Do you feel like this is a good life for you to to live to live like this No To be beaten up like this And someone's cheating on you No I mean I'm not in I don't want to be in your personal life But that's a pretty severe injury you're going to have to go to the hospital and get stitches for that that's not going to close up on its own
