(June's p.o.v)

I stood there, my nose beginning to throb in pain. The cool air from the store brushed against my wet flesh making me shiver. I looked up at August, waiting for his response but he seemed to be in a daze.

"August?".

His eyes held no emotion as he stared down at me.

I tapped his arm gently, causing emotion to literally show in his eyes in seconds.

"Huh?".

"I said that's fine, your sister can come," I repeated, tilting my head at his strange behavior.

He looked at me oddly too, before slowly nodding his head. He grabbed onto his little sister's hand, leading her out of the store with me close behind.

We walked to my apartment building and into my apartment. I let out a sigh of contentment as I was met with the warmth of my apartment.

"I have clothes she can wear, if you want her to change out of her wet clothes," I offered.

"Y-yeah Iight," He responded back, glancing around my apartment. He seemed to be confused, but I was completely oblivious of what he was confused about.

"You sure you okay? Do you want to go home or something?" I questioned, watching him closely. He looked over at me, a smirk sliding across his lips.

"I'm sorry, I jus- It's nothin',".

I nodded slowly, continuing to walk away into my room closing the door behind me. As my back pressed against my white door I slid down it; crying silently. My nose slowly began to ache as I cried causing me to immediately stop. I just stayed there; crouched on the floor, with my knees pressed against my chest. I was hurting, a hurt I couldn't fully describe. I guess this is what Americans meant when they talked about their first heartbreak. Sean was the first and only man to break my heart more than once. But this time it seemed like it was worse than the other times. Maybe it was the fiery look in his eyes when he stared at me in pure hate and Rage. I couldn't seem to etch that look out of my mind. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't.

"Umm June ya okay?".

August' southern toned voice flowed through the doors, meeting my ears making me force a smile onto my face.

"Y-yeah I'm okay," I tried my best to stiffle the sound of me crying but August seemed to have recognized me crying too quickly.

"Ya cryin'? It's cuz of ya boyfriend ain't it?".

"No August I'm fine actually I just want to be alone. I'm sorry for inviting you here. It's very inappropriate and I don't know why I did it," I responded as I stood to my feet, turning to face the door before opening it. August' tall frame towered over my short figure. I looked up meeting his eyes then quickly looked back down. There was something about his eyes, when I looked into them. I could read him, and I didn't like it.

"Ya sure ya want me ta leave?" He asked, with genuine concern in his voice.

"Yeah, I'll see you around. And thanks for stopping by I really do appreciate it. I'll walk you to the door,".

I followed behind August as he went to the couch, gently shaking May until she opened her eyes a bit. She wobbled to her feet and August picked her up. I smiled as her head dropped, falling on August' shoulder. He walked towards the door, opening it to step out. He stood in the doorway and I held the door open, cracking a small grin.

"Than-

August leaned down, his lips met mine in a sweet yet friendly kiss. His fingers inched up, grasping my neck from behind. My lips moved in sync with his and my mind screamed for me to stop but my lips yearned to be on August' lips. They felt soft, like I had thought they would be. I groaned softly into his mouth before prying away.

"Oh my gosh, August why did you - oh my gosh. You have to leave, Now,".

I slowly closed the door close as August hesitantly moved back from the door. Once the door was completely shut I pressed my back against it, arching it a bit.

"What the hell," I uttered to myself.
