Chapter 3

August's P.O.V

After dat day I didn't go to school, nd dat was three days ago, it was dark outside....nd I was dealin on da corner nd it was gettin a little cold I watched every other person walk by nd den some girl started runnin by with a tank top nd she looked so familiar, a boy was runnin after her nd dat wasn't no cop

???: Logan stop fuckin runnin

She looked scared fo her life, I tried lookin away cuz dats nun of my business but it is cold nd if she runnin in a tank top she gotta be runnin for a damn good reason...

Me: cmon mane dis ain't got nun to do wif you

Den there was a side of me dat thought about my nieces and I would want some one to help them...I cut through a shortcut and walked down the block, if she's runnin she not paying attention to where she'll just be tryin to run so she'll pass dis corner I waited and as soon as I heard them I stuck my hand out nd grabbed her by her shirt as soon as she passed like I said she was a little mouse, so I picked her up by her tank top nd her feet dangled while she caught her breath and den da boy came

???: can you put her down

Me: na why was you runnin

???:*wiggling* he's tryin to have sex with me, please don't make me go back there, *breathing heavy* he's gonna hurt me

I looked at da boy nd he looked at her den back at me nd scoffed

???: dat ain't true...man

I pushed him with my free hand and pointed to him

Me: if I find out you did somethin ta her im commin after you

???:*wiggling* no no don't trust him , no please don't make me do back

???: fuck it den keep her, she gotta come back at one point

He walked away nd I put her down looking down at her

Me: what's wrong with you

???: what!!

Me: where you supposed ta go

???: can I go with you

Me: hell no

???: please please just don't send me back there

......it looked like she was gone cry, I sucked my teeth, and shook my head lookin around

Me: you ont wanna go wif me, I'm tellin you now

???: I'd rather be anywhere but there, just please

Me:...........*shakin my head* only tonight

???: okay

I started walkin away nd she tried walkin wif my pace, I stood by the corner again...nd she stood next to me

???: are you waitin for some one

Me:*shaking my head*

???: then what are you doing just standin here

Me: listen what ever da fuck yo name is, I need you ta stop askin all deez damn questions

I stood back nd someone passed by with the money in there hand and we did da switch

???: my name is Logan, not whatever the f

I looked at her with my eyebrow raised and she crossed her arms over her chest and looked away, I shook my head and finished doin what I do, when I looked at Logan she was leanin in the wall shakin, I pulled my hoodie off and gave it to her

Logan: thank you

I finished dealin nd I came up with 3 hundred dollars....I thought for a second nd da room I gotta couple tubes up there, all I gotta do is take one hundred find da tubes ta make up fo it nd give it to Ryan so in total I'll have 3 hundred and I'll put half in my stash,

Me: cmon

She got up and we started walking

Me: are you hungry

Logan: yeah

I went into da store nd ordered us sandwiches and got chips nd stuff nd we started walkin back, I was a little cold but I could manage until we get there......when we did I made passed da smoke and pulled Logan upstairs

Me: don't look at them

Logan: okay

When we got in da room and I cut da light on and she sat on the bed, I put in another hoodie and sat next to her nd we started eating

Logan: you live here

Me: basically......

Logan:*quiet*

Me: I know don't judge

Logan: oh what!!! No my house is worst

I ate a chip and looked at her....

Logan: it's worst.....because i have no privacy

Me: your brother nd sisters don't give you space

Logan:they're not my------.... Something like that

She was sittin crossed crossed on the bed, I finished eating and she looked at me

Logan: what's your name

Me: August

Logan:*smiles*

When she was done I started looking for the tubes and went downstairs to Ryan

Me: I was able to sell a few

I gave him the money nd the "left over crack" he took it and looked at the tubes and I got punched in the jaw making me fall

Ryan: you think I'm fuckin stupid mane.......you gave some one some free buzz, three *kicks me* three freebies,

I was wasn't gone fight back cuz last time I did I almost had a bullet in my head, I got up tasting the blood In my mouth, he punched me again making me fall back on da floor, but dis time dat shit really hurted

Ryan: don't play wif my fuckin money, kid.......just fo dat I'm cutting outta yo half

He threw somethin at me nd I swear I wanted to get up nd rip his head off, when I looked it was money nd I picked up nd counted

Me: what the fuck is this, you gave me 25........I ain't give no freebie nd dey only 25 a pop, where's my 100

Ryan: you get no 100 because you played wif my money

Me: ain't nobody playin wif yo money dawg, I ain't stand outside ta make 400 just to get 25

Ryan: *pulls out his gun* take it nd go yungin

I clenched my jaw and went back upstairs, dats why I got 1 hundred anyway gotta keep extra to get extra

Logan's P.O.V

I sat there playing with my nails and August came in and his lip was bleeding...I grabbed the tissue that was in our bag from the food when he sat down and I patted his lip softly, he looked at me and grabbed my wrist

August: I'm fine........I think you should get some sleep, it's 3 in da morning

Me: are you going to school tomorrow

August: na but chu are

Me: why don't chu go to school often

August: lo stop wif da questions..just lay down

He called me lo , I laid back and pulled my arms out the sleeves of his hoodie and pulled my body into it like a turtle goin into its shell and left my nose and mouth out of the head part so that I can breathe and I fell asleep
