Unknown [ An August Alsina Romance ]

Holding it down

August has been blowing up my phone non stop ever since that day. I woke up Sunday morning to 3 missed calls from him and 2 texts but like always I just ignored it. I care for August but I really don't got time for his games, I let him into my life and he broke my trust.

Today I was gonna forget about August and Los Angeles and just go chill with my family. Everybody is off from work today so I have the whole day to spend with mi familia. I go to the bathroom and do my hygiene. I jog down the stairs to the smell of eggs and the sound of music. Everybody was in the kitchen dancing along to Selena Quintanilla as my mom was making breakfast. My family was very close and every moment we could we tried to spend together. After breakfast we piled into my dad's car and my brother Kory's car, we spent the rest of the day at an arcade center downtown. By the time we got home I was beat.

I went upstairs and tried to catch some sleep which was really difficult because tris thought  it was a good idea to play on the Xbox and Eli decided to watch tv. My mom was still playing her Selena music on the radio and nat came into the room we shared to talk on the phone. I didn't have any silence. I tried to zone off and as i was drifting off to sleep my phone rang. Great timing. I pick up the phone without even looking at the caller Id.

"Heaven?" I hear the sexy familiar voice.

I freeze. Should I hang up or not? As if reading my mind he speaks up.

"Please give me a chance to explain. Don't hang up."

I get up of the bed and into the bathroom. "You got two minutes."

He sighs. "Look I really am sorry. What I did was stupid but you weren't giving it up so I had to get it somewhere else. Heaven your the only girl I fuck with like that but your stubborn af. We been rocking together for a good minute but you still won't let me hit. A man has needs, have you thought of that?"

His words instead of making me feel better just crush me all over again. I wasn't making him happy. Tears stream down my face and a lump grows in my throat. I stay silent for awhile just thinking  about everything. All this time was I not good enough? He breaks the silence.

"Are you not gonna say anything."

Anger boils up inside of me. Does he just expect me to forgive him and run back into his arms. I have strong feelings for August shit I might even love him but their is no way I could go back to that man. At least I don't think so. "What do you want me to say August? That you hurt me? That I was sitting at a curb all by myself crying because of what I saw? That I had to leave the state because I couldn't handle my emotions? That my heart was broken again for the millionth time but this time by someone I never expected it to be broken by? That I cry myself to sleep every night? That I could probably never love again because of what you did? WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO FUCKING SAY AUGUST?!" I shout angrily.

"What you mean your out the state?"

"Wow. That's all you got from that. You know what fúck you August. Don't hit my line up anymore." And with that I hung up.

I look into the mirror and I look drained. I quickly wash my face and dry it with a towel. I grab the knob and open the door. As I step out Eliana is standing their with her arms crossed. "We need to talk. Now heaven." 

I follow her until we get to the front door. "Where we going?" I ask. Instead of answering my question she ignores me and continues walking. I follow her until we get to Clays Factory. Clay is the homie. When me and my family were homeless he helped us get back on our feet. When Jameson got himself into gangs and shit, clay was their to protect us. Clay was a big part of our lives to the point that we called him Uncle Clay. Clay even gave Tristan and Eliana a job at his store. Eliana worked her way up to a secured position. She was basically in charge when clay wasn't around. Anyway she opens the store, locks it back up from the inside and walks to the "employee room."
