Chapter 27: She said yes but... (Update)

**Neveah's POV:**

August texted me earlier, asking me to meet him at the most beautiful park in an hour. He told me to wear a nice outfit, so I decided to flat iron my hair, put on my Chanel shirt and pants, and my black Nikes. When I arrived at the park, I saw Faith in the same outfit and August in a similar one.

**August's POV:**

I bought Neveah a 24-carat ring, which cost me my whole life savings and two diamonds. I want everything to be perfect for this moment.

**An Hour Later:**

August: *"Neveah, the real reason I brought you here is because I love you with all my heart. These past months, you have taught me how to be a man, forgive others when I can't even forgive myself, and how to love. So, Neveah Knowles, will you do me the honor and marry me?"*

Neveah: *"Umm... Yessssss!"*

Faith: *"Now I hwave a new dwaddy."*

When Faith said that, I instantly started crying because I never thought that Faith wanted another dad.

**At Home:**

When we got home, I put Faith to bed and then went to take a shower to prepare for bed. But as I was getting ready, I heard August talking to someone. He seemed mad because he got up and broke a picture of me and Jake.

Neveah: *"Why would you think that's okay?"* I said, tears running down my cheeks.

August: *"Why do you care, huh?! Are y'all still together?"* he said, anger in his eyes.

Neveah: *"What the hell are you talking about? You're hallucinating because Jake died a year ago, and you're clearly angry and taking it out on me."* I said, crying.

August: *"I'm not fhuckin mad, okay? Now shut up before—"*

Neveah: *"Before you what? Hit me? Leave me? Do it, I don't care. You wanna know something? You should go home for the night."*

While August was leaving, he ripped one of our photos and slammed the door. How are you going to propose to me and then get all mad at me?

**The Next Morning:**

I woke up feeling exhausted from the emotional rollercoaster of the previous night. I couldn't stop thinking about August's outburst. I loved him, but his behavior scared me. I decided to call Kayla to talk about what happened.

Kayla: *"Hey girl, what's up?"*

Neveah: *"I need to talk to you about something that happened last night."*

Kayla: *"Sure, come over. We can talk and let the kids play."*

I dressed Faith in her favorite pink dress and drove to Kayla's house. When we arrived, Ki'andra and Faith immediately started playing, and I sat down with Kayla to pour my heart out.

Neveah: *"August proposed to me last night, and I said yes. But then, when we got home, he got really angry and broke a picture of me and Jake. He accused me of still being with Jake even though he's been dead for a year."*

Kayla: *"Whoa, that sounds intense. Did he hurt you?"*

Neveah: *"No, but he was really close to losing it. I told him to leave for the night."*

Kayla: *"Neveah, you need to be careful. It sounds like August has some unresolved issues. You don't want to be in a situation where you or Faith could get hurt."*

Neveah: *"I know, Kayla. I love him, but I can't ignore this. I need to talk to him and figure out what's going on."*
