Show Palace (An August Alsina Story)

Chapter 11.

// Day 3, Charity //

I wake up and yawn... I'm so exhausted.

I hear laughs, I look to my right and see Donte holding August hand laughing. I hop up and walk to them. August eyes are open and he has a smile on his face. He stops smiling when he sees me, he lets go of the hand he's holding and just stares at me.

His friend gets up and moves, I take the seat and sit down.

"Your fans love you." I look at all the gifts he has.

We sit in silence.

"I know you prolly wasn't expecting me here but I came down as soon as I heard the news." I look at my hands.

"August." I become serious. "I don't hate you and I forgive you."

I start to cry silently.

"Umm you're prolly wondering how I'm doing, uh I'm doing great." I lie. "Life is amazing, you know uh Zae made A honor roll."

He lifts his hand up and touches my hand, he rubs it slowly.

"I thought you were going to die." I sniff. "This is my fault."

"Who was he?" His voice is cracking.

I look at him.

"You're doing great right?" He says, he tries to take out the tubes in his nose. "Who stabbed you?"

He gets them out.

"Nobody." I look down.

"You don't have to lie to me Charity." He says. "If you're here for me I want to be here for you, I'm sorry Charity for all  the shit I caused you none of this would've even occurred if I would've just loved you like I'm suppose to. Charity you're the most beautiful, talented women I've ever seen and when I did those things of course I wasn't thinking but if it came to choosing and picking I wouldn't even have to go through that because at the end of the day I know where my heart belong to and that miscarriage I know I caused that and please forgive me!"

He starts sitting up.

"August no lay down." I say.

"No fuck that, Charity I love you and I always have you're my all.. I want to have a family with you I want to be with you...."

This is all I ever wanted to hear August say, he now completed me. I was dying in pain because I never got a real apology from him.

"August lay down, lemme go get me some Hot Choclate." I stand up and help him lay back down.I put his blankets over him. "I forgive you August for everything."

I smile and kiss his forehead. I exit the room and start crying happy tears! This is what I wanted.

// Days Later //

I walk into August room and look at his bed by the window. He's sitting on the window ledge waving.

"Wassup Kiddo." I say, he turns around  with a smile. "You did this?"

"Yeah, so I can see my fans beautiful faces." He walks away from the window and walks to me. I get a shiver it's like it's our first time meeting again.

"How you feel?" I ask.

"Better after this...." He presses his soft lips on mine, I feel like we're back to our happiness I close my eyes and visualize all the good times we had and they make me smile.

"August babe I got....Ohhh ummmm...." I hear a females voice.

She's holding a bag.

"Really August?" I look at her and then him. "You're still the same you!"

I push him and grab my purse, I storm out the room. August is yelling my name.

"WAIT CHARITY!!!" He yells in the hallway.

"WHAT?" I turn around and frown.

"She's a friend, she picked up a ring that I bought for you... I was suppose to have it before you came in but she's just running late." He looks me in my eyes. I look at the girl standing beside him.

"It's true." She smiles and nods her head... She opens the bag, revealing a box. She passes it to August and he walks to me.

"This is not an engagement ring but this is a promise ring, I have one also." He shows me his, He tells me to look inside and I see my name. His name is curved in mines also.

August places it on my finger and he gives me his to place it on his finger.

I hesitate to place it on his finger... soon my hand is moving toward his. I place it on his hand....

// A few weeks later //

August is finally out the hospital even though his skinny ass is walking around her limping.

"You aight?" I ask as he walks in the kitchen.

"Hell yeah, couldn't feel any better." He smiles. He stares at me. "I missed you."

I blush a bit. Before I get to say anything back, August homies walk in. I continue cooking and ignore their conversation.

"Wassup Charity!" They speak.

"Hey." I let the food cook some on it on and walk out and let August have his freedom.

I head upstairs and clean up. I end up heading back downstairs and weed instantly hits me.

I roll my eyes... I walk into the kitchen and give August a look.

"Out." I say to his friends, I walk to August and take the blunt out his hand and throw it at one of his homies. "OUT!"

I push them out of the kitchen and out of August house.

"August look at me." I pull his face toward me. "This is your life you're messing with, no more of this drinking and alcohol shit, you know you're extremely sick!"

He doesn't react at my heated reaction.

"Okay, I'm sorry you will never see this happen again you're 100% correct and I'm sorry." He kissies my lips.

"Better not." I say, he smacks my ass as I walk away. I feel like I have him back.

// Months Later //

"August what's wrong?" I ask, August is back to his normal self he's much better than before.

"I can't really see out of this eye." He rubs his eye. We all stop eating and look at him. I get up, thinking it's probably a eyelash. I blow in his eye.

"Does it work?" I ask.

"No." He rubs it in frustration.

"Maybe you need to go to the doctor again." His mother says.

"Yeah." I think so too, lemme schedule you up.

August and I are an a great place, we don't even argue anymore. Yes, we have disagreements but we don't fuss. I'm here for him through this sickness he has and I know he's here for me. We forgave and forget. Things happen for a reason, I feel like my family is complete again... but I'm once again pregnant by August..... I'll let him know soon. But I'm afraid of everything falling again......
