Nala
*sings*
Does it make sense now ?
Shit just got real, things are getting intense now.
I hear you speak about we a lot, oh you speak French now ?
Giving me the signs so I gotta take a hint now.

It was 10:31 now and it was raining outside my window. I got in my old expensive rocking chair, with my crutches on the other side of me. This chair was so comfortable and soft , I
Could adjust it if I wanted to lean back but I wanted to watch the rain as it drizzled outside and I sung this new partynextdoor song.

All she talking about is come and see me for once, come and see me for once
You don't ever come to me, You don't ever come to me.

I was singing dumb loud so I know my dad and my step moms heard me. The rain was getting harder and all I wanted to do was sit here and breathe.

I still was shook about what I seen on that glass mirror in the bathroom. I wanted to tell August but I was just so gone from it all that I didn't know what to say.

I squinted my eyes and seen this car flashing its lights in my direction. I opened my window to get a better look. It was August, what the hell was he doing here.

"August how'd you get out here?"

"I followed you of course what you mean?" "August go home !"

"Nah come open the door."

He must be crazy right now, how am I getting downstairs with crutches? "I'm not leaving until you open the fucking door."

I took one crutch to the stairs with me and then hopped on one leg to get to the front door. I turned the alarm off for the night and see August at my fathers door step soaking wet. He came inside as I tried to limp for a towel.

He ran over and scooped me up. "Where's the towels?" I pointed to the back closet where the fresh linen was. He grabbed a small one and took me upstairs. He held me in his arms for a little minute and just stared at me.

He laid me on the bed and just started to scream at me. "Yo why the fuck you play me like that in ya dads face?" I turned the other way and he pulled my face back to him. "Don't fucking play with me Nala."

I bit my lip... "stop fucking biting ya lip, why you trying to embarrass me?"
I wasn't  trying to make you feel embarrassed baby but the way everything is going crazy right now , I just wanted to get out of that hospital. And when I seen my daddy I felt comfort in his arms. "So you don't feel comfortable in my arms?" "I never said that August."

He got up and started pacing back and forth. "You not telling me everything." My lips started to shiver "what?" "You not telling me everything like I said, what happened?"

He sat down by me so I just had to let him know. When I was getting dressed to leave the hospital somebody wrote on the bathroom mirror. "What it say?"
I cleared my throat as I spoke.. It said I'm coming for you.

"Baby I already know who that is, while you was at the hospital I couldn't make it in time cause I was investigating. That bitch Tiffany did it."

I was so mad that I hadn't figured out who it was, but I knew now and it was that bitch Tiffany. "I got you baby, just let me handle this, that's why you gone stay at ya fathers until you're straight."

"I wanted to come with you August but my father, he made me feel so protected at the time."

He kissed my lips as I was trying to talk to him. I grabbed his back so he could get on top of me but my legs were fucked up so there wouldn't be no fucking tonight.

"Ight I gotta go babe, but Imma make sure we good, ain't nobody going to touch you." He kissed me one last time before leaving.
