August

Well it's official Nee York here we come. I'm excited about the move. I'm even thinking about expanding and starting a business up there. Taylor was about to get things transferred with work to school there. The girls saw the prep academy they'll be at and D was able to choose where he wanted to go. He decided on a military prep school. He has goals of being a solider one day, I'm proud of him and plan to push him towards his goals.

New York should be fun and I think we're really going to go takeover shit. I'll have my girl and family with me. Nothing is impossible with them by my side. Taylor is an amazing woman to put up with me and my shit. I'm going to wife her one day. I look around the house.

We've been lacking like crazy and it looks like a mad house around here. I'm going to miss this place, this city, a lot of place holds memories for me. I'm forever grateful and thankful for the shit everything the good, the bad, and the ugly. I will admit I am going to miss Aleah, it's going to feel pretty weird knowing she's not there. It's crazy to think on everything we've been through and all the things Aleah has done for.

Aleah

Well it's been confirmed that I am pregnant and I'm actually pretty excited. Ty is hoping for a boy this time, it doesn't really matter to me. I was happy with just my three but another boy could even out the count. I've actually started planning the wedding as well. Well kind of so far I know what's the colors are, Ivory and Purple. When, where, how, and why I haven't made to yet but I'll get there eventually.

Ty has been helpful with the entire process. I sit back and think sometimes what did I do to deserve such an amazing man. In a way I have August to thank all of this for. If it wasn't for him that day I would've never went to the pizza parlor and met the love of my life. I would if he's want to be in the wedding? Him and Ty are cool I would how that would play out. I don't know if my I should even do a traditional wedding scene, I don't want a huge fancy wedding. A nice small ceremony something my babies be in.

Lord TJ might try and eat the rings or they might fall and roll off somewhere. He can barely balance his self out when he walks. Tyleah might try and keep the flowers, maybe that's something her and Amaya can do together. My baby is turning ten next month. We have to do something her big day. She's becoming a very well rounded young lady. She loves dance and cheering, she discovered that at summer camp.

Oh I know the perfect date for the wedding A knock at the door interrupts my thoughts.

August

"Alright babe we're all finish." Taylor says. "Alright cool. Hey I'll be back and then we can go. Make sure the movers don't damage my shit." She laughs, "Alright baby." I get in my car and head over to Aleah's place. Damn it feels weird saying goodbye.

I knock on the door. I'm starting to assume no one is home. The front door opens, "Hey." "What's up?" I hug her. "August I can't breathe." I laugh, "My fault." We walk inside, "Where my babies at?" "Sleeping and Amaya is at summer camp." "Oh. You looking good girl." She smiles, Thanks Aug. so do you, You look happy." "I really am. So do you. You're glowing."

She sit Indian style on the sofa. "Well I'm pregnant." "Congratulations! Baby number 4." "I know." After realizing my reason for coming over in the first place I sigh. "What's wrong?" She asks with a look of concern. "Well Lil Kenzie we're leaving." I turn away when I see tears forming in her eyes, "Moving where August?" "New York." "Noo but I just figured out the date for the wedding.... You have to be there."

I wipe the tear falling down my cheek. "I will be there I promise." She sniffles, "Are you serious?" "Yeah Lil Kenzie." "Please...... Please stop calling me that." "Aleah I'll still be able to call and y'all can always come visit." "It's not going to be the same." She leans down on me and I hold her. It breaks my heart to see her like this and I'm sad to be leaving too. I didn't want to say bye but I owe her at least that much decency. Aleah Jones really means the world to me, matter what we go through.

Aleah

I'm crushed. I can't think straight and my tears are turning into sobs. I know we haven't been on the same page like we once were but it really hurts to know he's not a phone call away anymore. I get up and go grab some water. Taking in a deep breathe, "August I'm really going to miss you. You really don't understand how much but I hope you're happy. I hope New York is good to you and your family."

He smiles, "I love you Aleah Jones." "I love you more August." "Don't forget about me." "Never man." We sit there in silence for a few more minutes. Despite all we've been there I truly love him and as crazy as it may sound I'll do it all over again. We've all done some fucked up shit but a real friend to come by is hard to find.

"Well I guess I should get back. Taylor just texted me and told me the movers are finished." We both get off of the couch. I wipe my face, "I'm going to miss you. Good bye August." "Good bye Aleah. I love you never forget that." "The same goes for you." He grabs my hand. "You'll always be my right hand and no one could ever take you place." "You'll always be my Right Hand too."
