Show Palace (An August Alsina Story)

Chapter 10.

// Next Morning //

I wake up beside August, this should've never happened.

I take a shower and gather my things for my leave.

"Get up Man I gotta check out!" I say to August, he groans and turns the other way. "Get the fuck up!!!"

I pull everything off of him, waking him up fully. He sits up.

"A nigga can't get any sleep damn!?" He holds his head.

"That's what fucking happens when you drink what 20 bottles...!?"

I continue packing my things.

He stands and walks in the bathroom, he washes up and brushes his teeth with my toothbrush.

"Really!?" I look at him.

"We back on right?" He walks out the bathroom, I throw away the toothbrush.

"Listen August, we're not back on and we will never be." I be straight up with him.

"It's cool." He laughs.

I watch as he put his clothes on. He's upset and I can tell, he walks to me and looks down at me.

"I wasn't to drunk to express my hurt to you........"

I look away, he licks the inside of his cheek and leaves the room. I just want my normal life back.

August and I go our separate ways, thank god he isn't on the same plane as me!!

// August, weeks later //

I hold onto my moms as I walk in, I'm intoxicated and high... and it feels good. All my worries are gone when I'm on it.

"August." My mom puts me on the bed, I start laughing. "Get some rest."

She walks out, turning off my light.

I can't sleep anymore, I'm always on the move... I just wanna feel good again.

I get up and head downstairs, I'm sweating extremely hard and my head is spinning.

I walk into the kitchen to get a juice..... I try to hold myself but I stumble.

"Yo ma!!!" I yell, but no one responds. "Maaaa!!!"

"What!!!!??"

"I need you!" I drink the juice, but spit it out... I feel like I'm about to faint.

"August what's wrong?" She touches my forehead.

"You have a fever honey, let's get you to the hospital." She says.

I lay in the hospital bed and sleep, they give me some medicine and say everything is okay. But I don't feel okay.

// Charity, a few days in //

"Mommy!?" Xavier walks in with his friend from next door.

"Wassup kiddos?" I turn to them as I cook.

"I'm sad." He pouts.

"Why?" I look down at him.

"Because Jason has to go home." He answers, Jason is pouting also.

"Awww baby, look he lives next door so you'll be able to see him tomorrow." I say.

"I want to see him tonight!"

"Yeah." Jason adds in.

I sigh heavily and look at the both of them.

"How bout we ask Jason's mommy can he spend the night." I try to solve the problem, they become ecstatic.
