Journeys POV

" I Came To You Because Out Of All The People I Know You Could Relate To How I'm Feeling Now ." , He Said Looking At Me .

"Okay ."

" This Is Something I Have Never Told Anyone But Today Was The Day My Brother Was Murdered And I Was Thinking Beacause Your Dad Past Away You Would Understand What I'm Going Through . " , He Said With A Tear Running Down His Face .

" Aw August I'm Sorry " , I Said Engulfing Him Into A Hug .

He Held On To Me Tight And Just Began To Cry . I Felt His Pain Completely , I Felt It So Much I Began To Cry .

For The Next 30 Minutes Had Passed Until We Finally Let Go And Stop Crying .

He Looked At Me With His Red Puffy Eyes , "So You Probably Think I'm Bitch Ass Nigga For Crying Right ?"

" Of Course Not August I Actually Respect You For Crying In Front Of Me . You Crying Over Your Brother Does Not Make You One ." , I Said Looking Back In His Eyes .

He Slightly Smiled At Me , "Thank You , I Never Was Really Able To Talk To Someone Like This Ever Since I Moved Up Here ."

" And I Never Had Someone Come Talk To Me Like This Before ." , I Said Smiling Back At Him .

"Yea Well I Think I Should Go ." , He Said Getting Up .

I Walked With Him To The Door , " You Know If You Ever Need Someone To Talk To Again , You Got My Number Aug ."

"Ite Ma , Goodnight ." , He Said Smiling .

"Goodnight ."

After I Made Sure He Got To His Car , I Shut The Door And Locked It . I Went Upstairs To My Room The Got Under The Covers . I Grabbed My Phone To See Chris Had Called Me . I Looked At It And Locked My Phone . I Don't Wanna Talk To Him Right Now . I Don't Have Time For His Bullshit Tonight . After That I Went Straight To Sleep .

The Next Day

Journey's POV

I Wake Up To A Call From Chris Asking Me To Go With Him Somewhere So We Can Talk . And I Said Yes Because I Wanna Know What Happened For Him To Be Treating Me This Way , Plus The Fact That I Really Miss Him . I Got Outta Bed And Decided Its Time To Get Dressed Since He Was Coming At 3 . I Got Up Did My Hygiene , Then Got Dressed . I Put On A Open Knit Teal And White Striped Sweater , White Pants , And Uggs . I Braided My Hair In Crown Braid Then Looked At My Phone For The Time . 2:43 I Walked Downstairs And Seen My Grandma On The Couch Watching TV .

"Hey Grandma ." , I Said Plopping On The Couch .

"Hey Baby " , She Said Looking Stressed .

"You Okay Grandma ? You Look Upset ."

"No Baby I'm Not Actually ."

"What's Wrong ?" , I Asked Concerned .

" Last Night , I Met Your Mother And She Said She Wanna See You And Your Sister ."

I Felt Anger Building Up In My Body , "Why She Did Wanna See Us Now Before She Was To Busy Snorting Crack Up Her Nose ?!"

" Journey Dont Talk About Your Mother Like That , Shes Clean Now And She Has Something To Tell You And Diamond . So I Invited Her For Dinner Later ."

I Didnt Give A Fuck About What She Had To Tell To Us . After 12 Years Of Being Gone She Wanna Come Back .

"Fine , Grandma Ill Be Back Later I'm Going With Chris ."

" Okay Be Back Before Five ."

I Walked Out And Got In Chris' Car . Now I'm Really Not In The Mood For This Shit .

"You Look Nice ." , He Said Looking Over At Me .

I Rolled My Eyes , "You Okay ?"

"Why You Worried About It ?" , I Hissed .

" Because Your My Girl And I Want You To Be Okay . "

"So , Now Im Your Girl Last Few Months You Ain't Been Making It Seem That Way ." , I Said Looking At Him .

He Didn't Respond , " Yea Exactly No Response ."

The Car Ride Was Silent Until We Got To The Cheesecake Factory . He Knows This My Favorite Place To Eat . But Just Cause He Bought Me Here Don't Mean Imma Forgive Him .

We Went In Sat Down And Ordered .

" Chris ", I Said Sipping My Water .

" Yea ."

" Why You Been Treating Me Like This ? Did I Do Something Wrong ? Did You Go Through Something ? "

He Looked At Me Like He Was Hiding Something .

I Feel Like Something Went Down At That Party Because Thats When Shit Went Left .

"Chris , What Happened At That Party ?" , I Asked .

"And Don't Lie To Me Either .", I Added .

"Nothing Journey . I Wouldn't Hurt You Like That Again And You Know That ."

"So , Why You Been Acting Like That ?"

"Journey For Real , I Been Trynna Find Myself And Hurting You In The Process ." , He Said Looking At Me .

I Don't Know If He's Lying Or Not But Imma Believe Him For Now .

After That , We Ate , Talked , And Left . By Time I Got Home , It Was Around 4:30 .

I Walked In The House , Where I Was Hit With The Aromas Of Bajan Food . ( Its Basically West Indies Type Of Food .) I Love Bajan Food , Flying Fish And Pepperpot Was My Favorite . And Thats Exactly What She Was Cooking .

"Hey Baby , Go Your Sister Help Set The Table ." , My Grandma Said Handing Me Plates .

Me And Dime Were Setting The Table When I Heard A Voice I Haven't Heard In 12 Years . I Looked Up , To See A Women That Looks Just Like Me Looking Back At Me .

A Few Seconds Later , A Little Boy Ran Up To Her .

"Mommy ! " , He Yelled .

"Mommy ?" , Me And Dime Questioned Looking Shocked .

" This Is Your Little Brother . "
