August and Nyla: are we just best friends(book 1)

Chapter 11

Nyla pov

I woke up and went to the bathroom doing my daily routine. I left a new toothbrush and washcloth out for Brandon. I went in the kitchen and made eggs, bacon, grits and sausage. since Brandon has just gotten up, I decided to text August and tell him to meet me at moms house at 2pm.

Me-make sure that u r at mommas house. 2pm
August-alright see u then

I locked my phone and made the plates. Brandon came and kissed me then sat down at the table. "good morning beautiful." I was giggling. "good morning handsome." We both say and ate. "I would love to wake up to your beautiful face every morning ya know." I laughed at Brandon. "well most definitely we could make that happen one day." he smiled. we both finished and he pleaded that he wash the dishes so I let him and went in the shower. "mhm, what a sight to see." Brandon said. I didn't even know he was in the bathroom watching me in the shower. "Ewww Brandon stop. I think you have some clothes in my bottom draw on my dresser closer to the door. you can use the other shower in here or you can use the guest bathroom. your choice." he smirked. "I'm perfectly fine with this other shower." I shook my head and finished washing. I left out the bathroom since Brandon was still in the shower. I went to my closet and thought about what to wear. I put on some black joggers with leather slits down the side, a white mesh crop top with a black leather line going across the boob part and some black Louboutins. "Damn Nyla, you looking good as hell. way better than me." I chuckled at Brandon's words. "thanks bae." we kissed walking towards the door. "Love you Nyla." I smiled. "yah um, same here." I smiled awkwardly as we both walked to the elevator and going out the building. going in opposite directions. I got in my Bugatti and closed the door. for some reason I didn't feel comfortable saying I love you to Brandon. I just felt that I only say I love you and really mean it to certain ppl and he most definitely wasn't one. I had a photo shoot before the little meeting at moms house. I went to the photo shoot and snapped as many pictures as they wanted me to. I was a little nervous too, so it was hard. "Loosen up sweetie. I know you must be nervous and all but it's way easier if you think about comforting things." I nodded and started to think of things that comforted me. music. music helped me get through a lot of things especially the death of my parents. "can somebody play some music in here?" They started to play a serious of music from my playlist on my phone. then the one song came on that took away my happiness. bye bye by Mariah Carey started to play and some tears streamed down my face. "Yes, see this is what we want to see. the real you. anger, sadness, happiness it all." the photographer said. I cried as the song ended and then everything hit me so hard. I started to punch a whole in the wall and they took a photo of that two. "alright that's a wrap." the photographer said coming towards me. "can some one get her some tissues?" I personally knew the photographer because before I moved to Atlanta with August and the rest of the fam, in New Orleans me and the photographer had a few classes together in middle school. "Nyla you good, trust me they are in a better place." I nodded and she hugged me and handed me the tissues and smiled then walked away. I wiped my face and still was somewhat crying. "Nyla we going to send the pictures to you, your brother, and management and label for the Album we hearing that's coming out soon." I nodded and started to walk out. "thanks everyone." I yelled "no problem. drive safe." they yelled back. mommas house was only 5 mins away so it wasn't that far. I still had a few tears going down my face the second I hit the drive way. I seen August was already here I got out and dried my face of as much as I can. telling by his car he been here for over an hour because his car wasn't even hot anymore. I walked to the porch to see the two of them sitting there talking. they stopped when they seen me and ms.sheila got up and hugged me and so did August. they both were staring at me for some odd reason with worry in there eyes. "what, what's wrong?" Momma sighed. "why were you crying?" I knew I dried my face off but how could they still tell I was crying. oh yah, I totally forgot I was light skinned so the redness around my face would show. "nothing, it's over with now." I said still not convincing them. "No what's wrong fr fr N?" August said staring me in my eyes but I looked away. "nothing that's not what I came here to talk about." Ms. Sheila nodded. "What did you really come here to talk about?" I sighed and tears filled my eyes as I was about to say it. "was.....my..... mother ever......pregnant after me?" I was all tears by then. August just sat there looking at his mother and staring between the two of us. we sat there for 10minuets and nothing was said. "momma answer the question." August demanded. She sighed. "yes sweetie. when you were about two your mother got pregnant and she was actually supposed to give birth on your third birthday." I was still crying a little. "so what happened? Where's my little brother or sister? How come I never grew up with them?" She smiled at me slightly. "your mother gave birth to your baby sister the week before your birthday and she had you staying with me until your birthday since it's somewhat hard to adjust to having a toddler and a baby at the same time. But you never got to meet them after she was born because when your mother was at the hospital after giving birth just a few hours earlier, your little sister died because she had some disease that would have killed her before she turned one and it just so happened to kill her hours after she was born." I was crying way to much by then. "even though you asked everyone a lot about the baby, your parents didn't want you to know about it at all. so I couldn't really tell you." I didn't say nothing at all. I looked at the trees behind me and got up and walked away. I seen To the side of me August was trying to come after me but ms. Sheila stopped him. I walked into the woods and found this place where me and August would play with each other when we first moved here. I sat on the Stubbs from the trees that we cut down and looked around. I seen my old dolls and his little action figures. my diary I had that I stuck in the dirt. I wrote everything in there, songs, my fillings, my crushes everything. I went in the dirt and dug up the diary reading the things that I actually could. I went to the part where I used to write how I felt about my parents death and recapped everything I felt and how I felt responsible. I reflected how I felt then and how I felt now and noticed I really grown from that. I looked at my phone to see that I was out here for about two hours. it was 4:31pm now so I decided to go back. when I got back I seen them both still sitting on the porch, like they never moved. momma was drinking some lemonade and August was eating burgers and fries. I walked up to the porch and sat back in my seat. "Hey." I said to the both of them then they looked my way. guess they didn't even realize I was here. "hey baby." ms. Sheila said hugging me. "You okay baby girl?" She asked and I nodded. "perfectly fine, I just needed to see something from way back then to notice that everything happens for a reason." she nodded. "well I'm going inside to get ready for work." she walked inside the house and walked upstairs forgetting to close the door so u did. I sat down and took some of August fries. "damn stop taking my shit and go buy your own." I shook my head. "I'll pass." then I took a bite of his burger. he laughed and I did with him too. "so I see that you read your laugh out loud diary." I lift my brow at him. "How did you know?" "There's dirt under your nail and the only thing we hide in the dirt was our diaries but I have mine at home." I nodded. "well for the most part I did, and I looked at how I used to blame myself for a lot of bad things and thought how I changed very much. I just think I got over my parents death for the most part and I might cry about it every now and then but it's nothing to serious so I'm fine with everything." He nodded. "okay, that's wassup for the most part but do u want me to make u a burger and some fries since I got to make my self some since you was eating my shit?" I nodded. "thank u big bro." he nodded and went inside and I followed.
