Give Me A Reason

27: She's Back

August pov

Man ain't it good to be alive. About a year ago I was questioning that, which is something I don't ever want to do again. Who would've thought that outta all the niggas, I would be the one falling in love then on top of that, getting my heart broke. Man it's funny how life works. And look at me now, I'm back in love but this time with someone that's gonna love me back. Well maybe I shouldn't have said that because my old girl use to love me too so I can't even front. I just hate saying her name or hearing someone say her name. I hate when I think about her. I hate when her favorite song comes on the radio, I hate when I see girls that remind me of her and even hate that I hate her but I do. At least I think I do. 

And I know I'm the one that messed up our relationship but she could have at least gave me another chance. I thought that by me getting myself together that she would at least talk to me but instead she runs off and then when I finally see her again, she tries to act like I don't matter, like my feelings deserve to be hurt. I know I messed up but everybody makes mistakes. That's why we humans but some people just don't get it. I don't wanna care but I still do and that's the only thing that I don't like.

I was woken from my thoughts by my girl calling my name.

"August! Come on breakfast is ready!" she yelled from the ketchen.

"I'm coming shawty." I responded.

i went into the ketchen and was welcomed with blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, and three pieces of bacon. The aroma of the food was mouth watering that I almost forgot to think my baby for taking the time to cook for me.

"Ummm." she said waiting for me respond.

"What?" I asked then realized what she wanted. "Oh I'm sorry baby, thank you for preparing this wonderful meal." She smiled at my response.

"I hope you don't get to full." she said, rubbing my shoulders while I ate.

" Why is that?" I asked

"Because after you eat, we're going out and I want to have brunch." She said almost in a squeal.

"Alright Kenya, I'll take you out but what's in it for me?" I asked turning to her raising an eyebrow.

"You'll see tonight." she said licking her lips.

"I'll be waiting, don't leave hanging either." I said smiling.

"Never that." she returned the smile.

I gave her kiss and then I got in the shower. I know it's hard to believe that I'm with Kenya after all that had happened when I first met her. I honestly never really gave her a chance because I was so into Alicia at the time but when I was down she helped me. I thought that maybe she won't that bad since she did give up a lot to help me. 

What's awkward is that she's friends with Alicia again which wasn't so surprising. I hardly ask Kenya about Alicia but when I do she says that Alicia don't mention me when they're talking and she doesn't care that me and kenya are in a relationship. When I found out that, it did make me mad. Like, why wasn't I on her mind because she's always on mine and why she doesn't care that I'm dating her friend because if she was dating Trey or Chris I would be hella pissed. It's just not right, that I go through hell and back over this girl but she's not affected.

ALicia's pov

Well where should I start? The last year has had it's ups and it's down. At first I was battling my feelings with August then I realized that I just needed time to myself. I wasn't in contact with nobody. I didn't call or recieved any calls from anybody. I just wanted time to think and now I'm refreshed and I'm back this time for good. All I did the whole time I was gone was workout and think about my broken childhood and how my trust issues effects my relationships. Being with August wasn't my first relationship but it was the first real relationship and that's why it my actions were the way they are. Like I know I hurted him just as much or even more than he hurted me but despite what he might think I never ment to hurt him. I just couldn't live the way I was living. I had to go to a new environment and surround myself with new things. When I got back I was ready to settle things with August but Kasia told me that he didn't like me anymore and that he was with Kenya so I just decided to keep distance so I wouldn't have any problems with him or Kenya. I wasn't trying to get back with him, I just wanted to make peace between us but he don't want to even be around me so I guess that won't be happening. However I am glad that he's happy with Kenya. I was shocked when I found out but they do make a good couple. I'm just saying this because I want to sound postive. In reality I hate that they together. 

I don't want to be mad but I am and it's killing me inside. I want to take my anger out Kenya but I don't which is surprising. I don't even know why I'm stressing anyway. I got a new man. That's right ladies, soon y'all will be calling me Mrs. Alicia Brown. My new bae is Chris and it's actually funny how we met. When I left I went to LA with my cousin Riyana. After I had lost a lot of weight from working out so much to clear my mind, we decided to go out and let me show off my body. So I was wearing this skin tight beige dress with a black belt. I had my hair up in a bun. 

I was setting at the bar and that's when they anounced Chris was coming on stage to preform. So he was singing all his hits from this year. Once he got to Back To Sleep he asked for a girl to come up and help him sing. I had been drinking which I don't normally do so I was a little out of it and this big dark skin dude asked me to go up stage, so I did. I went up there and grabbed a mic and began to sing. I use to sing in club Mad so I know I can sing. I guess I had did a good job because he looked impressed with me and after I was finished he asked for me to go backstage with him. So I did and we just talked and vibed the whole night. I was completely honest with him about everything I had been through even though I was drunk. 

After that he drove me home because I was to drunk to drive. I gave him my number and we kept in touch. He always come over my house and mess with me. I wanted to let August know because I don't want him to think I'm trying to be shady, I really like Chris and I don't know if I'll ever love him like I still love August but since August moved on, I might as well do the same. I wonder how it would be if I wouldn't have left? Would we still be together? I might not ever find out?
