Don't Forget About Me (An August Alsina Love Story) (Completed/ Editing)

Chapter 25: Serenity

Today was the last day in Jamaica and I was heartbroken. I was really starting to love Jamaica. God knows I didn't wanna go back to Atlanta.

When we went back, I was gonna be officially 1 week away from labor and August was going on tour with Usher, leaving me alone. So I was gonna enjoy every bit of this day as I can.

After waking up to an empty bed, I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth so that I could make some last runs before it was time to pack for home.

I placed my sun hat on my head and went to to catch a cab to head to town. I spent about 3 hours shopping and buying things for Evette, Chandra, the girls, and even August's mom. I figured it was a start.

And by the time I got to the hotel, I was tired. But I before going back to my room, I went to Skyla and Rahjay's room to see if August might be there since he hadn't been answering my calls all morning. But he wasn't. It was only Rahjay there.

"Wassup, Kay?" He said, holding his head.

"Hey...Whats wrong?" I asked, stepping in after he invited me inside.

"Hangover," He said simply, sitting on the couch and holding his forehead. "I feel like somebody's banging a thousand drums in my head."

I placed my bags down and walked over to the coffee maker and started brewing coffee. "You and August had a blast last night huh?"

"Well apparently," He chuckled. "I don't remember shit."

I handed him the coffee and he took a couple sips, leaning back on the couch.

"Thanks."

"You didn't see August did you?" I asked.

"Nah. I woke up and Skyla was gone too," He mumbled. I looked at him for a little while before everything registered to me. August and Skyla both were missing.

"What?" He asked. "Why you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing..." I sighed.

"Nah tell me," He sat up, placing his coffee down.

"I don't know, I think something's up," I said, folding my arms.

"What you mean?" He scrunched his eyebrows together.

"Between August and Skyla. Don't you see it?"

He thought about it for a second and shook his head no. "Nah, not really. They seem pretty cool."

I shook my head. "No, something's wrong and I'm bout to find out."

I got up, not even bothering to grab my bags and he followed behind me to my bedroom.

"Don't you think you overreacting, Kay?" He asked after we got in the elevator.

"No, Rahjay. I know August too well to not think that something wasn't up."

We walked toward me and August's bedroom and I put my key in.

I walked in the room and nearly went into labor. There Skyla and August were fast asleep, naked under our sheets. I gasped, holding my hand to my mouth.

"Ah, shit," Rahjay mumbled, looking on with just as much shock. "Skyla! The fuck!"

August and Skyla both jumped at the sound of Rahjay's voice and looked at us like two deer in headlights.

"Kay-" August looked at me and didn't say anything else.

"The fuck is going on?" Rahjay asked.

"Baby, I can explain just calm down," Skyla got up, holding the sheet up to her naked body.

"You was fucking this nigga behind my back," Rahjay walked up to her face, while August tried to approach me.

"Don't come near me, August! I'll fucking killing you!" I warned, pushing him away from me.

"Babeh...Kay, Lemme explain," He tried to reach for my hand again and I pushed him away.

"August, I swear to God! I'll kill you if you take another fucking step!" I cried.

He sighed, keeping his distance away from me. I immediately starting throwing my shit in my suitcases, while August watched and Skyla and Rahjay argued.

"You leaving me, Kay?" August asked, standing up once again. "I love you more than anything in this fucking world, Kalissa. I made a mistake. Don't leave me again, babeh. I need you. And our child needs me."

I ignored him, continuing to pack. He touched my shoulder and I lost my cool completely. I hit him and punched him until I felt dizzy. Then I took a seat on the bed, while everything became blurry. Then black.

...

"Kalissa, babeh, wake up," I heard August's voice. I squinted open my eyes and saw him holding a beautiful baby girl. "Say hi to mommy, Serenity."

I gasped, feeling tears come to eyes. August handed me her and I looked down at her in awe. She was beautiful. The most beautiful thing I ever saw.

"Hi, baby," I sniffed, looking her sleep.

"Kalissa, we need to talk," August said. I ignored him, continuing to adore my baby girl. "Kay."

I continued ignoring him, rocking Serenity.

"Kay!"

"What?" I looked up at him with disgust.

"Can we talk?"

"I have nothing to say to you," I said.

"Well then listen," He said, pulling up a seat. "Look, bae, me and Skyla have nothing together, iight? What you saw today was just an ending to something that never shoulda been started. While I was on tour a while ago, we met at a strip club and we began fucking regularly. And she became pregnant with my child at one point and I was planning on marrying her. But she had a miscarriage and we ended. And she wanted me to fuck her one last time or else she woulda made up some bullshit lie about us to tell you...So I did. But only to keep us together. Cuz I love you, Kay and I don't wanna lose you."

I shook my head, never looking up at him. I woulda fought him again if my eyes weren't on my daughter.

"Everybody was right about you, August and I never listened to them! You're a dog and I shoulda never came back to you so many times. If it wasn't for Serenity, I would end this now. But you're her father and I'm gonna let you be that. But as for you and me, we're through. Done!"

"Kay, stop," He came to try to kiss me but I jerked my head back to dodge it. "You'on mean that."

"I do," I said letting a tear drop. "We're over for good this time. I am sick of all the dirty groupies and all the fucking drama with you, August. I don't need to put up with it, so I won't."

He stared at me for a while before letting a tear drop. "One more chance, Kay. Thats all I'm asking for, babeh. Don't give up on us. If not fa' me, do it for Serenity. I love y'all. Don't do this."

I shook my head no, holding back the waterfall about fall from my eyes. "No, August. I'm done."

We sat in silence, both thinking, before he got up to leave. I looked down at Serenity and bawled my eyes out. I loved August with all my heart. But he keeps hurting me and I couldn't stand it anymore. It had to be done. Me and August would never be like we were before and I had to accept it.
