**Neveah's POV:**
Why me? Why do I have to go through this? I never knew my biological parents, and my siblings died that night. I didn't know my adoptive mother would be beaten to death, my daughter's father would commit suicide, and I would be going through this with August.
Faith: *"Mwommy, where is new dwaddy?"*
Neveah: *"Umm, honey, he won't be coming back for a while."*
Faith: *"What?! How? I woved him,"* she says, crying.
Faith cries herself to sleep, but today I'm going to bring her to Kayla's house. I do my hygiene routine (outfit in mm) and wash Faith's hair, keeping it in wet curls. I put her in shorts and a tank top.
After I drop my princess at Kayla's house, I head over to August's house to speak with him.
**At August's House:**
When I knock on August's door, a half-naked woman answers.
???: *"Hi, who are you?"*
Neveah: *"My name is Neveah. How about you?"*
???: *"I'm Matia. Who are you here to see?"*
Neveah: *"Umm, is August here?"*
August: *"Matia, baby— Hi, Neveah."*
Did he just call her "baby" and then say hi to me?
Neveah: *"August, can we talk outside, please?"*
August: *"Yeah, sure."*
Neveah: *"August, I love you, but this proves to me that you can't be trusted. I'm sorry, but I can't be your wife. I can't be your girl. Ask Matia; she would probably love to."* I say, crying.
August: *"Neveah, I didn't mean to hurt you. I want to be with you. There is no other girl I want to be with but you."*
I couldn't face August, so I just left. I couldn't be with him anymore. Matia was clearly the one for him, so he should just be with her. I feel bad for him, but if I didn't do this, I would have gotten hurt.
**August's POV:**
I fhucked up, man. I didn't want to be with Matia's ass. All she wants is money. Neveah is loyal and never hurt me. For me to do this and lose her and Faith is dumb. I need her. I want her. I can't live without her.
**One Month Later:**
Neveah's POV:
August has been calling my phone, but I've been ignoring him. He's not worth my time or Faith's. Faith turned 4 one week ago, and I cry when I say that because she's getting older.
Text Message:
August: *"I need your help now!!!!!"*
Omg, what does he need? I hope he's not hurt. I quickly dial his number, my heart racing as I wait for him to pick up.
August: *"Neveah, thank God you called."*
Neveah: *"What's wrong, August? Are you okay?"*
August: *"No, I'm not. I... I think someone's after me. I don't know who, but I've been getting these threats. They're real, Neveah. I don't know what to do."*
My breath catches. *"Where are you? Are you safe right now?"*
August: *"I'm at home. But I don't feel safe here."*
Neveah: *"Stay there. I'm coming over."*
I hang up, feeling a mixture of fear and frustration. August has always had a knack for getting into trouble, but this sounds serious. I grab my keys and head out the door.
