Half Way There

September 26

Brooklyn POV
Since my mother told Damien I was dead, u have to tread on my toes. I was at the mall with one of my old friends. Her name is Breaunna. She was eating her pretzel we got from Auntie Anne's. She knew everything that was going down. Wit August and what my mother told Damien.
"Look all I know is that you need to stay away from places where there is popular people. You might find Damien. But who is this August character tho? He sounds cute." she said bit into her pretzel. Someone tapped my shoulder.
"Who tf?" I said turning around. It was August. "What you want?"
Breaunna whispered in my ear. "Who that is? He cute. Introduce him n!gga."
"Breaunna, August, August, Breaunna."
"Hey." August said with an attitude. "Look you never answered me." He said.
"Bout what?" Breaunna asked.
"Nothing Breaunna." I said.
"She didn't answer me about our date."
"She'll do it." Breaunna said.
"B!tch." I said as August hugged me. "get off of me."
"Give me one chance." he said breathing down my back. I started to shudder.
"Get off of me."
"You know you like it." he said backing up.
"Well I dont." I lied.
"Picking you up at 8. Don't think you won't come cuz I will stay at your house all night long." he said rubbing my leg.
Breaunna looked at me. Then back at August. "Y'all be cute as a couple."
"No we won't."
"Yes we will. Thank you Bre."
"Your welcome Aug." she said smiling.
"Look. Y'all got names for each other. That is so cute."
"Cut the bullsh!t Brook. You know I got Hassan sexy ass waiting for me when I go back." She said in my ear.
"Look if I go on this date will you leave me alone."
"Only if I don't get you hooked on me first." August said smirking.
"N!gga. I don't get hooked."
"Well you will wit me. Ma don't lie. I know what then girls like. I know what then girls want. And that's so happens to be me."
"You're stuck up." I said grabbing my bags off the floor. But August grabbed them.
"I got this Ma."
"Stop calling me that and I don't need your help Da."
Breaunna started dying laughing. "Yoooooooo. I remember you saying this to Steve." She said holding onto her stomach. "And Damien." I looked down as she mentioned his name. "Oh sh!t. I forgot." she said holding into me. I was ready to leave and she knew it. August was still staring at us.
"Who the hell is Damien and why he get you so depressed?"
"Nobody." I said leaving August and Breaunna standing there. Lost for words.
