August

It's been close to 2 weeks since I've been back. A nigga ain't contacted nobody. But I know I got to. Lani's been telling me ta' go back home and let everybody know I'm okay.

"Aug baby why are you stalling ?

"A nigga nervous. What if a nigga just call? "

I'll feel a whole lot betta' if I called I mean just poppin' in on them could be serious.

"Do what you feel is right but don't leave them hurt and worried nigga. Know that ! "

"Know dat!! "

"Ratchet ass"

"Just call up your people. "

I picked up Lani's house phone pushin' all tha' numbers except fa' the last digit. Afta' thinkin' I pushed that muthafuxka'

A little voice answered.

"Hello"

"Yo umm who this I'm talkin' to ?"

"Kay Kay....who this I'm talking to ?"

"Aug....ya uncle Aug."

"No it ain't this ain't you...or is it?"

"Kayden give Cha the phone its important. "

Kay Kay

"Mama its this man on the phone. He say he uncle August. But it can't be him cause well maw said he was gone with daddy. "

"Bring me the phone Kay. "

"Aug!? "

"Yea it's me waszayum everybody good? "

"Question is, is Sheila good. You had us worried sick about you where was you matter fact where are you. "

"Look just know a nigga safe ya heard me. I'm eating and I'm under a good roof. Just do me a fava' don't tell my mama just yet."

"And why not? Aug she's broken about all of this. "

"A nigga just feel like it ain't tha' right time sis. I mean ion know I'll  call her but when I'm ready. I just need ya' ta' keep quiet fa' me. "

"Deal only if you tell me what really happened."

I needed to know where Aug was or where he could have been.

"Meet me at Tracy's Din'a at 6:00 pm. "

"Aug....it is 6. "

"Awe shit meet me in 30. "

I knew I could trust Cha. So I had ta' tell somebody close ta' me what really happened.

"Behbeh a nigga bout ta' make'a run I'll beezzz back lata' "

"Okay stay safe. "

I pulled up ta' the din'a right a 30 mins I see Cha get outta' tha' car and walk in. I came in a minute afta' ha'

"Long time no see sis. "

She stood up and have be tha' biggest hug.

"Damn it Aug what happened. "

I went on and tol ha' every fuckin' thing from when KeKe crazy ass put the spell on me , ta' how I was wit' my brudda' Mel. And of course how I met Lani.
