My Brother And Me (A Chresanto August Story)

C.40

It's been a while since I've talked to Chris. Yeah. I haven't spoken to her in months. Feels like forever though. I tried calling her but no answer. And I wanna go over there but I'm scared though.

Most days I just sit in my backyard thinking about the old days we used to have. Or just thinking about random things. I always enjoy the breeze that flows through the air because it's the best part.

"Prince! Dinner's ready!", my mother yelled to me outside.

"Okay Ma'!"

I went inside getting ready to eat but my phone vibirated so I decided to answer it.

"Princeton's residents.", I said.

"Hi Prince, this is Aaliyah."

I was so shocked when I heard that name. I haven't heard from her either. She went M.I.A. for a while too.

"Hey. Where have u been all this time? U went M.I.A. on us.", I said.

"Oh. Well, I moved to Chicago."

"When?"

"Like three months ago. I haven't called anybody because my phone was off. So i got it turned back on today."

Mr and Aaliyah talked for a lil while amd got to catch up on whats been going on lately. She has a job at a dance studio. She is just a volunteering as a janitor. She is also planning on getting her own apartment close by her mom. But she wants to get a real career later on after her days of volunteering is up. Yeah she has a lot of things going through her mind. A fantasy. But I think she can actually do it.

"Jacob dear, are you okay?", my mom asked.

"Yes I am. I'm fine. I was just on the phone with a friend. "

Aaliyah has also gotten into some trouble as well. Lately she has been taking money from her job. She needs it to take care of her father. She told me she took over $500 in cash. Never did I think she'd be a thief. And that incident that happens a couple of years back when she hit Ray, she is still on file for that.

"Aye ma', imma go over Christopher house I'll be back!", I yelled. "Okay. Be careful.", she said.

I walked out the door locking it.

I can't believe Aaliyah. She was such a good girl. Even though she lied about her age...she was still a good girl.

You know what imma just go over to her house today.

Christopher is Chresanto's sister!!!

I'm starting to believe ya can't read.

But aye imma update some ore just lazy.
