August A.

I walked into room grieving people and took my seat beside Malorie, rubbing her back.

It was the day after the whole situation and to say everybody was heart broken was a understatement.

But nobody was hurting more than Reek & Malorie.

Reek had lost his lover & Malorie had lost her best friend.

I was trying to be strong for the both of them but it was hard because I saw Lana as my sister.

Everybody here sat in complete silence and just absorbed the sad vibes.

Malorie stood up and left the room for the 3rd time already, she used that as her opportunity to cry.

I hated seeing my baby cry and especially right now since she's pregnant this isn't healthy at all.

I followed her seeing her sit in her car. She put her head on the steering wheel and sobbed loudly.

"Why August? why my bestfriend?" She cried loudly.

I grabbed her softly and let her put her face into my chest as she clung onto my clothes . I felt my eyes start to get heavy as I rubbed on her back.

"God knows w-what he's doing baby. Trust me." I said feeling the tears go down my cheeks.

"Give her back. Ple-please." She cried hanging on to me either tighter.

"You gotta eat something Mal. You still have a baby to feed." I said.

She turned away from me and started at the wall blankly. This was day 3 of Lana being dead and all Mal would do is, get up, use the bathroom, hop right back into bed and scroll through old pictures of her and Lana.

My baby was miserable.

"Look, I know you hurting. Shit, I'm hurting to but you can't put Brelle at risk. So take this Popeyes and I want all of it gone." I said sitting the food down on the bed and leaving.

I know she was hungry, don't know why she flexing.

About 10 minutes later I came back into the bedroom seeing nothing left in the box but bones and bread crumbs from the biscuit.

I smiled to myself and grabbed her trash.

"It's more food in the microwave." I said. "But I'm going to check on Reek, I'll be back in a hour."

She nodded.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too." She mumbled.

"Gimme kiss." I said.

She pouted and pecked my lips.

I watched as Reek sat there and cried. I wasn't good with this comforting thing but I was trying .

I patted his back a couple time as he stared calming down.

"This is crazy. You know Lana the only girl I've ever loved. 6 years man, 6 years. That was my everything, my he....heart." He said starting to cry again.

I heard the doorbell ring so I went to go get it. I opened the door to see Lana's pastor.

"Hey Pastor McCoy," I said pulling him into a hug.

"Hey Mr. Alsina. Where is Marckus?" He asked calling Reek by his real name.

"In the living room. Tell him I'll come over later, I'm about to go check on Malorie." I said.

He nodded his head before making his way to the living room.

-

I walked into the kitchen, hung up my keys and went straight upstairs to the bedroom to check on Mal.

Jace was at Mama T house until this whole thing blows over , I would never want him to see his mama like this.

Malorie S.

I sat on the floor going through my childhood photo album. Me , Cierra and Lana. Close as thieves.

Cierra was my cousin so of course we were always close, but Lana was my bestfriend.

I looked at the old picture of me and Lana, it was a picture of us the day we graduated from high school. I flipped the page and seen when we were about 4 or 5 and I was sitting in the chair letting her do my hair.

Lana always had a thing for hair.

I flipped another page and seen me, her and Cierra at prom. I slightly smiled at how beautiful we looked.

I heard the door open causing me to jump a little.

"Hey baby." August said sitting beside me on the floor.

"Hey." I said.

"How you holding up?" He asked.

"I'm good. Just crazy. I'll n-never see her again." I said already feeling like the tears start to roll down my cheek.

He slightly picked me up and moved me to his lap as he held me.

"Let's pray." He said kissing my cheek.

I nodded and waited for him to start.

"Dear lord, I know you do only what is right, and everything you do , there's a reason for it. Please just help us to cope and make this as easy as possible. Let Alana know she won't be forgotten and we'll love her forever. When you're dropping off your blessings, don't forget about us Lord. In Jesus name we pray, Amen." He said making is short and simple.

"Thanks baby." I mumbled.

"It's nothing. You eat yet?" He asked.

I nodded my head yes.

"Malorie, I know this a hard time for us but just remember you have more than yourself to worry about now, my little princess is still in there." He said. "Lana would not want you crying all day and getting all stressed out baby."

I nodded listening to every word he was saying.

"I would never try to put Brelle at risk." I said placing my hand on my baby bump. "Only 1 month and 1/2 to go."

"Exactly. Let's keep it good, after the funeral things will get better." He said.

I nodded and kept holding onto him tightly. This was the perfect place to be right now.

-----

Short but only because y'all don't comment anyway.

Things are getting better slightly.

I couldn't even imagine losing my bestfriend.

Yes, her name is Brelle Alsina.

I love y'all ❤️
