The August Family

(12)

Somebody real is hard to find
Somebody worth all your time
Somebody who can tell you the truth
Someone who loves you for you
Someone who knows all of your flaws &
Doesn't impose, try to control them
Let's you be free
Doesn't deceive &
Gives you a chance to believe
Believe in something
Is that too much?
Cause I've been on the search and I'm losing my hope
Is that too much? Is that too much?
Trying to find love in a world so cold
Is that too much?
I just want an answer, I can't be the only one
Is that too much?
You ain't got to be perfect
Just give me a purpose to love
I just want somebody (body)
To treat me like somebody (body)
Won't be like everybody (body)
All you got to do is love me for me baby.
Now don't be mislead by the things that I said in the past
I was young
I was looking for a thrill
That didn't last long
I was in it for the wrong
Wrong reason, wrong season, wrong person (yeah)
Cause he just wanted one thing
And I just wanted something to smile at, & live for, & hug on (ohh)
I'd rather have quality than quantity
Ohh I just want someone that'll keep it real with me

Melanie's P.O.V.

" Mommy Somebody's at the door " Melodie said opening my room door.

I sighed as I put my phone down and walked downstairs. MI'OHNIE was supposed to be watching the kids for a hour as her punishment and her ass laying on the couch.

I shook my head and walked into the main area and seen a guy standing at my door frame holding Cebastians hand. I scrunched my face up and sled walked over there and snatched Cebastian from out his hands.

" What did I tell you about talking to strangers while I'm not with you Cebastian. " I said shaking him as I felt my eyes watering.

I'm very protective over all my kids but Cebastian just a LITTLE more because he's my first son. I don't know what I would do if I lost him or any of my other kids.

" Actually miss he was just next door at my place with my daughter. I saw him playing outside by himself and invited him over. He wanted to come home but I saw your daughter answered the door so I wanted to make sure you were here " He said smoothly and I looked up at him before looking at Cebastian and shaking my head while I looked back at this man.

" Thank you so much , What's your name " I asked wiping my eye with my finger.

" Stephen , I live across the street " He said.

I nodded because I really wanted him to leave so I can handle these kids because everybody about to get in trouble !!

" Cebastian wants to take my daughter to their graduation dance , I told him he's as long as His beautiful mother allows me to take her to dinner. " He said smiling.

I was really not interested.

" It looks like Cebastian isn't going to the dance because his mom doesn't date at the moment. Have a nice day " I said before politely closing the door and locking it before going into the living room .

Chresantos P.O.V.

I sighed as I rubbed my hands over my face. Ray is sitting here crying and stressed because Meriah was bleeding. I told his ass this was a bad idea but he doesn't listen to me. He's been here for a hour and she's been in the hospital for 3 by herself.

" Man CHRES this shit is stressful " He said

" Get out Ray. Go be with Meriah at the hospital. Not to be rude but I really don't care right now. I have my own problems right now with my kids I don't have time to be worried about yours. " I said bluntly.

He looked at me for a while with a nasty look before getting up and walking out slamming the shit out of my door.

I sighed. Melanie declined my offer to work back at the shop but after talking to Marcus she did anyway. I added a extra $500 to her check though , I don't think she noticed. She still doesn't talk to me and that's fine. As long as I know her and my kids are straight.

I love that woman with everything in me. I'm disappointed in myself thinking of everything I put her through. Once again I'm thinking of all of this while we're not together.

I treated her like shit for 11years straight and I regret it. She took in CH who isn't even her son. As many times as we fought she never tried to give him back to me or bad mouthed him.

I've cheated with so many times for no reason when I had the whole package waiting for me at home. I'm not going to try to get back with her because knowing me I will probably hurt her again.

I just want to be the best father I can be to my kids. Everything in my life is going to be all about them from this moment forward. I'm going to try to be cordial with Melanie so we can build our friendship.

I just want her to be happy. I want to be happy too.

It's like when we're together we're happy. But past events bring out our insecurities and we try to be happy but we can't so the whole relationship is fake.

I'm still going to give Melanie the world. I've damaged that woman's heart so many times I'm surprised she's still stable enough to take care of 6kids.

Maybe even after we work out our friendship along In the future when we both have our selfs together we might just reconnect. I'm not rushing anything though.

She doesn't know but I'm going to help her get her business back and running. I even found her new clients that has been wanting to get in anyway. I will always love this woman but we both need time apart for a while.

Meriah's P.O.V.

"I'm sorry , there's nothing else we can do. We're going to have to start prepping you for the miscarriage I'm so sorry Ms.Sinclair. " The doctor said to me as the hot tears fell on my cheeks,

They started hooking me up to all these machines and gave me a epidural. I looked around the room as they put the breathing machine on my face preparing for the surgery. I looked around for Ray and he wasn't here.

He lied was all I could think.

He told me he was going to be here every step of the way. He said he was going to leave his wife for me.

So Stupid Meriah I though again as I cried more.

How could I have been so blind this whole time ?

Ray has been using me since he met Elisha. He's never cared for me since we officially broke up. He's just been stringing me along this whole time and I've allowed him.

Why am I so stupid.

Should've listened to Melanie. I turned against my sister for him and he's the one I should be against.

I know my life will change drastically after this. I would never wish this upon anybody and I'm upset that I have to go through it.

Melanie Warned me .

And I didn't listen.

" We don't have a heartbeat " I heard someone yell as I felt my eyes dropping and a machine beeping.

" MERIAH " I heard Rays voice yell before I heard a beep and my eyes closed shut seeing nothing but pitch black.
