A Different Kind Of Love

07

August's POV

I can't believe it been a whole f.ucking year since she left me. It feels like it's been longer than a year honestly. Her being gone made me go back to how I was before I met her; drinking, partying non stop, and sleeping around. I only did it to see if it would help forget her but alcohol can only do so much.

I didn't want to go back to that lifestyle so eventually, I got my shit together and stopped. She kept in contact with my mom and everyone else. I called her possibly a thousand times but it was no surprise that she didn't answer.

I knew I love her before she left but her leaving maybe me realize how much I did hurt her and it wasn't fair on my part to expect her to just forgive me so easily. I treated her so horribly when she was the best thing to ever happen to me. It pained me to know that no matter what happens between us, that memory will always be there. I can't take that memory away but I we can make better ones.

I want nothing more than to have her with me again but I had to show her that how serious I am about her and how much I love her. I know it won't take a speech for her to give me another chance but whatever it takes I am willing to fight for her. 

Everyone went to visit her including me. Surprised? I'm a hundred and ten percent serious about having her back. Of course I didn't go to the little party they surprised her with but I am still in New York. I stayed at the waiting for Symone to get back and fill me in on how everything went. I wanted to go more than anything but everyone went against it because it would cause problems and they wanted it to be a good night. 

I didn't feel like going out tonight so I stayed at the hotel watching a movie to pass it the time. It was now 11o'clock and no sign of anyone. Elven turned into twelve and twelve turned it to two and still no sign of Symone or Trey, I figured Alexis might stay with her. I called but it went straight to voicemail.

What the f.uck could they possibly be doing? 

I continued watching the time until I finally knocked out on the couch. I jumped up when I hear the door opening and bickering between Symone and Trey.

"Y'all could've told me you were staying overnight." I glared

"Sorry Aug, the girls fell asleep and we got to drunk drive back." Symone says

"Drunk? It was like four of y'all there and Ma."

"Yea well Trey brought way too much liquor." She shrugged laying down on the couch

"Where's Kay, Chay, and Mya?" I question

"With Mama T, Alexi, and liyah."

"Why?" I ask

"They weren't awake yet, Aug chill." She grumbled

"And before you ask you can't go get them." She says sleepily 

"I wasn't gonna ask."

"Sure you weren't." She rolls her eyes "She said thanks for the gifts." 

"I'm surprised she didn't send them back." 

"Same but she seemed really happy and she just wants to move past everything and focus on herself." She tells me sympathetically

"Sorry Aug." She mumbles rubbing my knee

"It's whatever but it doesn't mean that I'm gonna not try." I shrug

"I know what I said before but don't you think you should give it a rest first. Start slow then work your way up."

"Sym-"

"August please listen to me, she's really in a good place right now and if you go and mess it that it's not gonna get y'all anywhere. I know she means  alot to you but if you care just hold off on whatever you plan on doing for awhile please." 

"Is she seeing someone?" I ask

"No, she isn't. You want her happy right?" She asks and I nodded

"Please believe me when I say she's happy  right now and I haven't seen her genuinely happy  in a long time." She says sitting up to face me.

"I just want her back Sym." 

"I know babe but just give it time please." She says softly

"Fine."
