TOMMY leanedoverthe counter putting the phone to his ear as he heard it ring but once again he was met with August voicemail. Tommy had been calling him all day because he wanted them to talk about what happened yesterday, they had a therapy session for today and Tommy wanted to make sure that August was coming. Tommy sighed going to Shakurr contact as he called him next.
"Did he answer you?" Tommy asked Shakurr, Shakurr had also been trying to contact August but he was being met with the same problem as Tommy, the voicemail.
"No." Shakurr said sadly, it wasn't like August to ignore their phone calls no matter what had happened between them. Shakurr was worried about him.
"Should we go check on him?" Shakurr said worriedly, Tommy smacked his teeth."We? You in class right now, I'll check on him."
"What are you going to say?" Shakurr asked curiously.
"I'm going to convince him to come to therapy today. He needs it, we need it. He can't keep hiding away from his issues, that ain't gone solve shit." Tommy fussed.
"I don't think we should push him, Mrs.Harris-" Shakurr tried to say.
"Man no disrespect to Mrs.Harris but we've know August our whole lives. He ain't gone listen if we just tip toe round his ass. You want answers don't you?" Tommy stated, he respected Mrs.Harris a lot but she didn't have the answers to everything.
"Yeah." Shakurr said, of course he wanted answers but he also didn't want August to be mad at them anymore. He didn't want answers if it meant that August would shut them out, forever. He felt the distance grow closer, each and everyday.
"And this the way to get em, when we don't wanna do something if it's for our own benefit August makes us. That's all i'm doing. Pulling a him on him." Shakurr nodded over the phone.
"Ok..I guess you're right." Shakurr said still unsure if this was the right approach.
"Guess? I am right, nigga. Anyway, I'll talk to you later alright?." Tommy reassured.
"Alright." Tommy hung up the phone as he sighed, Tommy looked over as he saw Naomi coming his way as she frowned.
"You looked stressed." Tommy chuckled."I am."
"What about?" Tommy shrugged slightly.
"Family shit." Tommy said vaguely before chuckling.
"Therapy kicking yall ass huh?" Naomi joked nudging him as he smacked his teeth.
