              I'm really shocked but I had a feeling about him. I felt as if we knew him before, but I thought that it was because he was famous. Now I remember, when we were growing up there was little boy that came over once in a while. Mom told us that he was our cousin. Now I see she was trying to keep us from finding out about our brother. Why would she do that selfish shit bruh!?

You see, the way I remember her, she was a nice person but now I see she just cared about herself she doesn't care about us. She wouldn't have kept us away from our brother if she did care about us. She wouldn't have even given us away if she cared about us.

"You talked to our mom after we left." I said a little pissed off. He nodded his head yes. "I didn't know y'all were put in an orphanage." He said looking ashamed.

"We didn't have a choice, mom chose to put us in there when we were three." I said, almost shedding a tear. "No, please don't cry, I knew I should've waited to tell y'all all this stuff." He said while looking down. "At least until we got more like a family." He added on to the statement.

"I don't think that we can be just a normal family yet" Breaunna said while standing up. "Why not?" August said standing up as well. "Because I don't think you should be considered our brother since you basically let her give us away." I said as I walked back upstairs and called Maggie.

"Hello" she said as she answered the phone.
"I'm pissed off, August just told us he's basically our brother" I vented about to cry. "Then had the nerve to say that he wants us to be a family, he let our parents give us away." I added just letting all the tears out.

"Well what could he do, he was a child himself, Zonnique." She said making sense because he was about 4 or 5 years old back then.

"Your right as usual so I'll call you later boo." I said as we hung up on each other.

I went back down stairs and sat down. "I apologize , I didn't understand at first but now I do, you couldn't do anything back then, but at least your doing something now that's all that counts." I said while feeling bad about lashing out like I did.

"It's alright I understand why you said what you said." He said.  "If I could have done something back then I would have I didn't know better back then but now I do and I know it was wrong for them to give you up like that." He said as he went to the kitchen.

"Y'all Hungry or nah." He said as he got the bread out the pantry.
This nigga here did not just ask us if we're hungry I should slap him, but I am hungry asf.

A\N:  Sorry for the short chapter its just I've been really tired lately and I am so sorry for updating late. It will start getting better. I'm very exhausted from all the work and projects, early in the school year.

But I would really appreciate it if someone will help me write the story. Again I'm sorry for the late update.
