August POV
Wazzam! It's ya boy a.k.a. Yung. Slowly my life is getting better,still fucked up but good things are happening. Today I'm going back home,surprise my mom. I've dropped a couple mixtapes in the last 4 years and I just dropped an EP. It wasn't that mainstream but people knew about it,I heard a few people playing it on the plane. I'm now 21 and totally legal for whatever so I don't gotta be sneaky about shit no more. I get in the car waiting for what's to come,I look out the window and sigh. Being back is gonna be hell but I missed my family. The driver pulls up in front of my old house and I tip him before getting out,this house is still the same. I knock on the door and a few seconds later my mom opens it. She looks up at me and smiles big before screaming and hugging me. I hug her back and we stay like that for a while. I missed being in her arms,the height is different now but it's still mama. I walk in the house and instantly get hit with the aroma of food. I walk in the kitchen and greet my stepfather,he's still on drugs but it don't look as bad. I dap up my other brother Travis and hug his girlfriend.
"The girls over here?" I ask
Referring to my nieces,I missed them so much.
"No,they're with their mother but they'll be here tomorrow" My mom says
Just as I'm about to say something I feel a tap on my shoulder.
"Hi stranger" A familiar voice says
I turn around and my heart races and I smile. I hug her tightly while slightly lifting her and rocking side to side.
"Hey Ci" I smile and let her go
"What are you doing here?" I ask
"I still live down the block and you're mom makes the best food" She smiles
"You still live there? Why?" I ask
"I don't know it just stuck with me,Nicki and Drake left for obvious reasons and I decided to stay close to our parents" She says
I nod my head,understanding.
"I missed you so much,last time I seen you,you were taller than me" I say
"Yea,that's not the case now,how tall are you?" She asks
"6'1" I say
"Yea you got me by 4 inches" She laughs
I laugh and look her over,she really grew up,last I seen her she had a baby face. Her long dark brown hair flowing down her back and light complexion is still the same. We always had the same complexion,same shoe size,similar smile,and a lot of other things. Her smile still makes me happy and her voice is like music to my ears.
"Alright you two love birds let's eat" Travis says
"Very funny" I say
I can't see myself being in a relationship with Ciara. That's my nigga,we too close to go there. Have I thought about it? Yes,she's very beautiful and I lover her personality. But I refuse to fall in love again after what happened with my ex,I can't go through that. We sit and eat a wonderful Sunday dinner and talk about old times,it was so much fun catching up with them. It starts to get late and I hear Ciara yawn while we're watching TV.
"I'll see you later mama Sheila,I'm getting tired,and I have to go to work in the morning" She says while standing up
"Alright,I'll see you tomorrow babygirl" My mom says while hugging her
She hugs everybody else and walks over to me.
"Bye August" She says
I stand up and grab her hand.
"I'll walk you home" I say
She nods her head and we walk out the house. I walk down the same street as I did growing up and so many thoughts came back.
"You seen your mom yet?" I ask
"A couple of times,same old same old" She says
"How's Vic doing?" I ask
"Good,he'll be back off tour tomorrow" She says
I was excited to hear that,her brother was somebody I looked up to most of the time,he's a year older than me. We get to her door and she unlocks it.
"I'll see you tomorrow" I say
"How long you gon be here?" She asks
"Until I get enough money to get a house" I say
"Don't worry I'll sleep over tomorrow" I smirk
"I wasn't worried but ok" She says
"Still got jokes huh?" I say
"Of course" She laughs
"Bye Auggie" She smiles
That was the Nickname Her and Nicki gave me.
"Bye princess" I say
I hug her and kiss her forehead. I watch as she goes in and closes the door. It feels good to be home.
A/N: There you have it,the first chapter! Get ready for a wild roller coaster in New Orleans.
