How To Love 1: The Beginning

Overdosing

August POV

I woke up the next morning, my pillow was wet asf, maybe cause I was doing all that damn crying. Shit was crazy man. I checked my phone, not one text from her or one phone call, she must really be pissed at me but why? I was only helping her out, trying to protect her, and I ain't shoot the nigga, Chris did, shiiit. But I dragged myself out of bed and walked to the bathroom looking in the mirror, I'm a complete fuck up. Always fucking up some shit. I was just so pissed. I usually wouldn't give a fuck but this was just eating me up inside, like damn. I decided to text her "bri.." I hope shed text back. After i brushed my teeth I opened the medicine cabinet, maybe some of this medicine would get a nigga mind off things, plus I gotta damn headache. I don't know what kind of medicine it really was but it was two bottles, one said pain reliever and one said prevents headaches. So I took 3 of both. Walked the kitchen and got a bottle of beer and chugged all that shit down one by one. Body felt tingly but I shook it off. I went back to my room grabbing my towel and went to take nice long shower. After my shower I put on some black Levi pants, a blue polo shirt and my legend blue 11s. I stuffed both bottle of pills in my pocket and grabbed my keys and headed out. I looked at my phone and still no text from bri. Fuck it. I thought to myself then I called my mama, "hello" she answered "mama I washed up and I'm otw to chris crib just in case you was wondering where I went" I said into the phone. "Oh sweety im at work, I'll talk to you when I get off , love you" she said. "Love you too" I said hanging up. I pulled up to Chris crib. I got out and made my way to his door , I twisted the knob and it opened. "Aye who that" that nigga yelled from the bathroom. "Its Aug" I said. It sounded like that nigga was taking a shit. "Yo bitch ass eva heard of knocking?" He yelled while grunting. "Yo bitch ass eva heard of locking yo do' witcho' shitty ass" I laughed flopping on his couch. It seemed like my headache was getting worse so I grabbed the pills and taking one of each. Chris bitch ass walked out. "Wassup bitch" he said sitting on his couch. "Nun man, chillan thinking," I said looking down. "Aye man fr wassup Aug" chris said with the most serious face. "I'm just thinking about last night man, she told me she don't need me, and its like she hurt my feelings bad, she making me feel like a Lil bitch I was sobbing like one last night. Its just something about her man. And I fucked up before I even really had a chance. And I scared her away, actually yo dumb ahh scared her away, you shot the nigga" I said flaring my nose. "Aye man I was doing a nigga favor and also he slapped her and a nigga ain't posed to hit a female that shit mad disrespectful" he said firing up a blunt, "but just smoke this shit out fam" he said choking. "That's that good good huh?" I said laughing. Nigga sounded like he was bout to die. He passed me the blunt. "Ayy you wanna hoop, after we hit this jay" chris asked me soon as I hit the blunt.

----15 minutes later

"Aye you ready fam" Chris bitch ass yelled from his room, "yeah you gotta extra pair or gym shorts and tank top, oh and basketball shoes?' I asked walking into his room. "Damn you basing ass nigga, but yeah" he threw it all on the bed and I picked it up and got dressed in the guest room. We was out and on our way. I called Brianna "I'm sorry but the person your trying to reach has a voicemail box that has not been set up yet" after that I hung up. About 1O minutes we pulled up to the gym and couple of our niggas was up there. "Wassup y'all boys" i said giving them some dap "wassup fam" chris said giving them some dap. "Wassup niggas" Deebo and Mike said. "Y'all bois ready to ball?" Deebo said "hell yeah" we commented. They call that nigga deebo cause he was known for beatin niggas asses and jackin em. We walked Into the court.  I had the pills in the gym shorts , "hold up" I told them as I ran into the bathroom. I took one look in the mirror and took one of each. I cuffed my hands under the sink and slurped. Then I ran out the bathroom. "Ight im ready" I said "dam nigga bout time" Mikey said. And then we started ballin.
