*3 weeks later*
*Houston - 3:45 p.m*

August POV:

These been tha longest three weeks of my life. She's doin' fine. But hasn't woke up. I still don't know why anybody would want ta hurt Mariah. I even took shit in my own hands. But it's like tha closa I got...tha moe it got furtha away. If dat makes any sense at all. I been lackin' on my sleep cuz too much is on my mind. I actually juss got back ta Houston. I went back home  fa awhile cuz I was basically forced by Nae. She tol' me ta "take a break". Well I didn't. I literally called every single day askin' questions. When I walk into Mariah's room, I sit in tha couch and sit back sighin' closin' my eyes. Then I hear anotha sigh. So I open one eye and look around. Ion see nobody. So I close it back. Then I hear Mariah voice

Mariah: "Tha fuck?"

I open my eyes so quick. Then she sees me and rolls ha eyes

Mariah: "Aw hell"

Me: "I seen dat comin'..."

Mariah: "How long have I been in hea'?"

Me: "Three weeks"

Mariah: "And you been hea' tha whole time?"

Me: "Yup"

Mariah: "Oh...."

Me: "Do you feel any pain?"

Mariah: "No. I feel none at all..."

Me: "Is your memory still intact?"

Mariah: "Yes..."

Me: "So you rememba...tha last thang dat happened?"

Mariah: "Like It was yestaday. I tol' tha driva ta slow down. Multiple times. I even rememba tellin' him ta pull ova cuz I wanted ta ride wit Nae and Kirk. He didn't listen. Then dats when Nae called me. And I tol' him again ta slow down. Didn't listen. I let him know tha light turned red. He ran tha light...boom! Er'thang went black. Like..I wasn't even hea'. Tha first thang I did was try ta protect my stomach..."

Then ha eyes get big

Mariah: "Oh my God! Tha beybe! Is tha-"

She sees me shake my head and ha eyes tear up

Mariah: "It didn't make it?"

Me: "No chance of survivin'..."

A tear fell and I wipe it away

Mariah: "Ion even know why botha ta even try. *sniffles* Shit always...always goes left. Dis is tha third one. And it was taken away from me. Dats how I feel. I can't be happy. We can't be happy. Shit is always fuckin' it up. If it's not a person...it's some kinda situation. If it's not a situation...it's a person. It's neva a win-win situation..."

Me: "Umm...speakin' of people. I let Korfucko fuck us up..."

She looks at me and I wipe ha face

Me: "If I didn't act tha way I did...you woulda came straight ta me afta leavin' LA. And you wouldn't be in dis situation. Dats what I think. You were tryna talk ta me and tell me. But I wouldn't listen. I shouldn't have acted tha way I did towards you..."

She bites on ha lip

Me: "As yo man, I shoulda came ta you and talked ta you like an adult and listened ta what chu had ta say instead of jumpin' ta conclusions. Dats was wrong on my part.  You did yo part tryna talk ta me. I shoulda done mine. And I realized how quick I could lose you. It opened my eyes. It scared me. Like on some real shit scared me. I thought I lost you and Ion want dat..."

She wipes my face and grabs my hand

Me: "If I woulda lost you...I wouldn't be tha same. I let dat small issue fuck wit me. I shouldn't have cuz I know you and I know you wouldn't do me like dat. So I shouldn't have snapped on you tha way I did. I know yo past. So I shouldn't have said what I said..."

Mariah: "Exactly. You do know my past. It made me question whetha or not you would really...put yo hands on me"

Me: "Ta answer yo question, no I wouldn't. I wouldn't hurt chu. I couldn't fa'give myself if I did. I juss have a slight problem dat I'm dealin' wit inside myself..."

Mariah: "What's dis slight problem?"

I juss look at ha. I wanna tell ha. But then again...I wanna keep it where it is...

Me: "I wanna tell you. I really do. But it's sum'n' dats gotta be held off fa na. But juss know I wouldn't do dat ta you..."

She turns ha head amd I turn it back towards me

Me: "Beybe our relationship means a lot ta me. Tha world. One day I hope we could have our family and moe. And what Smoke said ta me....stuck ta me. Ion want nun fuckin' up us. At all..."

Mariah: "I know dats yo way of sayin' I'm sorry without sayin' it directly. And I fa'give you..."

Me: "So you still love me?"

Mariah: "Yes, Aug. I still love you. You still love me, right? "

Me: "Of course"

Mariah: "Dat sounded so fake"

Me: "I'm serious"

Mariah: "I didn't believe dat"

I peck ha lips and she kisses back as I deepen it. I pull away and peck ha lips

Mariah: "Yea. You love me. A lot. Cuz even I know I have ta brush my teeth"

I chuckle and kiss ha forehead. I meant what I said ta Mariah. Dis was an horrible, horrible experience. But an eye opener. I lost sum'n' important ta me. But gained sum'n' important at tha sametime....
