{UNEDITED}

(A/N: Soo sorry for taking so long to update😘)

Aliyah's POV

:Recap:

"He didn't sleep-"

"He told me himself."

"I know, but he only said that to hurt you and yes it was stupid idea he's not use to sharing his feelings. As soon as he gets heated he stops worrying about other people's feelings."

Great now he has Alex believing his lies, but that's just how good he is. But what if this time he isn't lying. Could I consider forgiving him? Maybe that's what I need. I need to forgive him in order to move one, but could I do that?

****

As if my life couldn't get any worse, my phone lights up with a new message from Jerome; "Happy birthday babygirl. x". I sighed replying with a quick thank you before putting my phone back down.

"I honestly don't know what to think." I admit to Alex 

"I understand, so what are you doing for the rest of the holiday?" She asks turning on the TV.

"Sleep and eat." 

"Your not going to visit your mother."

"And let her gain control over my life again." I say

"Fair enough, but you really need to get out and look how skinny you got." She says grabbing my thigh.

"I know." I sighed

"I was thinking about going back to the apartment and staying with Symone because she told August is going to visit his family." I can't help but think how pathetic my life is at the moment.

"Anything is better than staying here and you mourning over August's d*ck." She joked and I glared at her.

"You know its true." She smirked and I roll my eyes.

"Anyways, I want to go but I'm scared that he'll show up." 

"He'll be in Texas right?" She says still focused on the screen.

"Alright then I guess I'll stay there." I decide

Alex and I watch television and talked about her girlfriend and how she might go live with her in New York. I am happy for her, but I don't want her to leave, I didn't tell her that of course. She stayed until  midnight and after she left I took another shower before curling up under the warm covers passing out minutes later.

The next morning I got up and take shower get myself ready to return to my old home. I never thought I would go back to that apartment but its my last option. If I keep staying at this hotel, I'll go broke and I don't want to go back to my mother's house to hear her obnoxious comments about August. I will visit her eventually but not anytime soon.

Once my hair is straightened and did my makeup, I put on a gray dress with a blue floral kimono and  a pair a short brown gladiator sandals. I grab my brown Michael Kors messenger bag along with my phone and wallet. I pack my belongings into my bags and hurry to my car. I smile appeared on my face as I start the engine. I still can't believe he got me a new brand car. This is the most thoughtful gift I have ever received and not to mention how expensive it is. I know money is not a problem for him but he could've gotten me something a little cheaper. I stopped at the grocery store on my way and got enough food to serve me while I'm there because knowing August, the whole place is empty.

My heart rate sped up as I drive to the apartment complex. What if he's still there? I looked around for his car and exhaled when I saw no sign of his car. I know he didn't drive to Texas so he probably drove to the airport or Taylor drove him. The rain came down harder and I didn't have a umbrella so I grab my bag from the back seat and grab a sweater that belong to August. He gave it to me when we were together.  I pull the hoodie over my head before getting out the car. I grab the groceries first the rush into the building. When I reach the familiar white door I took a deep breath before unlocking the door and stepping inside. I love this apartment! It's so beautiful and luxurious, I hate to admit it but I really miss living here.

I walk into the beautiful kitchen opening the fridge and cupboards to see them stacked. I guess Symone has been over here. I haven't talked to her in so long, I really need to call her. The last time she texted me she told me she was moving in with Trey, but I never replied because it was the same day that August came to California. I finish stacking the foods that I bought into the already stacked cupboards and head back downstairs to get the rest of my things.

What Alex said about August loving me hasn't left my mind. I tried pushing it back but it just won't get out my head. Deep down I know that August loves me, but I just can't allow myself to admit that he loves me.

As soon as I get back with the rest of my things, I lock the door and put my things in my room. It was still the same way I left it except most of my things were gone. I open my closet door to see the some of my clothes are still there. I took off my clothes and put on a pair of black leggings and one of August white t-shirt. I took out my clothes and hung them up in the closet. After I was finish I made my way to the kitchen. I realize that I haven't ate anything all day so I made fettuccine alfredo with chicken. I shared out a small portion and grab a bottle water before walking into the living room. I am not use to being alone in this apartment but I have been living by myself for a while now so it doesn't bother me. I scroll through the channels until I found Baby Daddy . It was a episode that I've seen before so when I was done eating I got up and washed out the dishes that I used. I hate seeing dishes in the sink. I lit a scented candle that I had bought from the time I was here then I cleaned off the counter before going back to the living room. Today is the best day I've had since everything that has happened. That's until I hear a set of voices and the door opening. Fuck. He's still here. Why is he still here? I hope he sent someone to check on the apartment. Please let it be anyone but August, please. The woman steps through the doorway and I automatically knew who she is. They look so much alike.

"This place is beautiful." She says with a soft tone.

"Oh my goodness, you must be Aliyah." A huge smile appear on her small face as she rushes over and gave me hug. Her Louis Vuitton bags fell from his large hands with a shocked look on his face. I looked away from him and hug his mother back tightly.

"August told me so much about you, but I was so disappointed when he told me you were going to be out of town." She says with a frown but it disappeared within seconds. Of course he would lie to her. August still stood there with the same shocked expression on his face.

"He wouldn't shut up about you when he came to pick me up." She whispered to me but I'm sure August heard.

I stayed silent with a small smile on my face to hide how terrified I really am.
