Today was my birthday a niggah was 20, still pushing fah his dream but it felt like it was taking for ever. I was sleep and my dream about my brotha felt real as hell.

"Wassam Mel" I hugged my brotha as he stood before me in a white "Yung, Happy G.Day" He smiled "Why Am I here, ya kno' I only come round when ya stressing or some shit" Two chairs appeared for us to sit. He was right, he only popped up when I was worried. "Shit man it's like getting signed taking longa then I thought, like a niggah ain't as good as I seemed" I rubbed my chin. Mel laughed at me shaking his head "I kno yeen have me come hea' for no stupid shit like second guessin' ya self" He popped me in the head "Ya bettah then that Yung, it's coming. Shit take time" He assured me

"Ya self made remember, you and Rae ain't get that tatted fah non" He stood up "Speaking of Rae, you moving too slow on that" he looked at me "What cha talm bout Melly B" I chuckled "So we gone play dumb cool. She fallin hard fah dude, don't hold ya peace too long" He fixed his hat

"Look at them they beautiful" Mel said as the image of Cha, Chay, Kay Kay, Maya, Rae and Mama began to appear. That mean I was waking up "Enjoy ya G.Day remember self made" Mel started to disappear. "Happy Birthday to you" Rae voice cooed "Happy Birthday to you" everybody else chimed in "Happy Birthdaaayy Yungin'" Rae hit a note fah me "Happy birthday to you" The all finished up "Happy birthday Uncle Aug" Kay Kay jumped in the bed placing kisses on my face "Aww Thank you baybeh gurl, thank yall" I smiled at them

"We fixed you breakfast so get up" Mama snatched up my covers as they all started to leave my room but Rae stayed behind. "Happy G.Day" She sat on the bed, I pulled her into a hug "Yung ouch" She laughed "I had a talk with Mel in mah dream" I watched her sit up, she was now sitting in my lap. "What yall talk about" she ran ha fingers threw my curls

"Shit, I told him I was tired, I wanna give up" She stopped rubbing my head to hit my in my head "And he did that shit too" I laughed "I bet, cause yo ass talkin stupid. Yung a star so many people rocking with you with out an album or deal so cool it okay. You the shit" she kissed my forehead "What else my brotha say" she smiled. I ain't wanna tell ha what he said about ha "He seen yall, he called yall beautiful" I smiled at her "Aww" she got off me "Come before yah food get cold" she pulled me up behind ha/

"Bout time damn" Trav blurted out when we got to the kitchen "What yall was doing finally getting with each otha" Cha held ha chest "No, I have a man remember" Rae rolled ha eyes

"Is that what cha call him now" I shook my head. After the whole broke boa phase, she had start dating some bitch niggah named Ryan. He ain't broke but I don't like da niggah, it's just something bout em. Long as Rae happy though he good, soon as he fuck up, we got a headstone waiting for this niggah.

"So I have to go pick up Ry so we can go shopping and pick up the last of my outfit for your party tonight" Rae grabbed my arm. "He coming" I gave her the face "Yeah Yung, get off his back punk" she let my arm go "Aye" I grabbed her pulling ha back tah me "Happy G.Day" she smiled before kissing both my cheeks. "Bye yall see yall later" She ran out the kitchen

"Happy G.Day" Cha mocked each motion from Rae making me laugh "You done fucked up bruh and let her get with that Ryan niggah" Trav shook his head. I shook my head at him "Look mane we friends"

"Yall made for each otha Yung, mama knows" My mama put her two in "Kill da noise what is we doin until lata" I looked around

"Smoke, Corey, and T on the way" Trav looked down at his phone "Ya girlfriend gone to get ha boyfriend" Cha chuckled "Tia said she would be coming, I haven't heard from her in a minute" Mama told me. "Okay look how about I take my baybeh's to the park while we wait on everybody tah get hea" I turned to my nieces "Yaay park" Kay Kay yelled

"Let me go get my shoes" Chay got up running "Walk girl" Cha yelled after her as the other two followed behind her "One day you and Rae gone make me another beauty to spoil" Cha smiled at me "I'm gone follow them" I got up following my nieces lead going to grab my shoes and jacket. Once we got to the park my and Cha sat on the bench "So this morning Mel came to my dream" I watched her look up at the sky

"What he was talking bout" she smiled at me, I could still see tha hurt in ha eyes. "Just getting me in line ya kno" I nodded "What's wrong Aug" She sighed " I feel like a niggah success is taking too long" I dogged her I thought she would hit me too. "Niggah I ain't gone hit you, but you trippin Yung" She sounded like Rae right now

"Cha it just seem like a niggah been doing this to long" I rubbed my face watching my nieces play. "Nothin, and I mean nothin worth anything is gone come easy Yung" Cha smiled at me "I kno" I sighed.

We let the girls play for like 30 more minutes, they even pushed me and Cha on the swings because it was my birthday as Kay said. Making it back to my house Tia was there, so was Smoke but I ain't see T or Corey.

"Hey Yung" Tia hugged me tight kissing my cheek "Whea' ya ass been Tia" I asked ha, we see ha a lot but not enough "Aug I be busy baybeh ya kno" She looked up at me "You get a pass this time okay" I kissed her forehead "Luhh you Tia" I rocked back and forth with her

"Love you Yung" I let ha go "So they ain't have no typa Ciroc at the liquor sto Trav sent us too" Corey came in the door "Yung Happy G. Day niggah" He yelled out.

"Whea' my baby at" T came in looking around "Niggah who yo baybeh" I already knew he was talking about Rae "Raegan" he responded "Fuck No, you got shit wrong round hea'" I shook my head

"We know Yung that's ya baybeh" Cha and Mama came in the living room. Me and my people kicked it, my mind went to where the hell Rae was and how she missing this family time.
