3rd Person Pov

Everybody began calmin down and relaxing to nice game of truth or dare.

"August truth or dare?" Rebecca asked. She's been dying for him to say dare. He smiled. "Truth" she groaned in annoyance.

"Pussy" dennis mumbled making majority of them laugh.

"Dennis language!"Mya said while chuckling. He rolled his eyes.

"Sorry Mother Mary" Mya pouted and feigned hurt. While everyone laughed. "August you gon smack him or what ?" Mya asked. "I gotchu mama" he smiled and kissed her cheek.

He turned and smacked Dennis at the back of his back."dont disrescpect my woman"

"How many girls have you slept with ?" Everyone 'ooohed' except for Mya who was curious herself.

"Uhh..damn..i lost count" he said smiling funny cause he know mya listening .

"Nigga you aint ansa the question gimme an average or something"

"Uhh.. i'd say in between 15-20" he decided to just be honest. It was truth or dare anyway.

"Freakin nasty" becca scrunch up her face in disgust. Mya just stayed quiet.

"You alright mama ?" He spoke silently as they continued the game. She nodded. "You sure ? Speak ta me"
"Its okay just as long as it never happened when we started getting close." August shook his head. "Nah mama when i met you i knew i didnt want anybody else believe that" he kissed her cheek and she curled up under him.

"Mya .. truth or dare" dennis asked her. Mya debated but chickened out "truth"

"Damn you cowards" marcus mumbled.

"Did you or did you not tell August who the person was ?" Mya stiffened. "No i didnt"

"Pause who did what ?" Everything just went silent.
No one spoke.

"Remember when i told you someone trapped me in the bathroom ?" He nodded. "Hmm"

"Well i found out who it was earlier this week"

"Damn and you didnt tell me ?!" His voice boomed in the house.

"Who was it ?"
Silence.

"Who was it man ?!"
She flinched at his thunderous voice. Mya thought that he was definitly overdoing it.

"Ophelia" she mumbled. "Oh im sorry what did you say ?"

"Ophelia" she spat out in annoyance. His attitude was really getting to her.

"I cant believe thiss.......hell i cant believe you didnt tell me! I cant believe you lied-" Mya got angry and stood up.

"Lied ?! Oh i am the liar now ?" August was confused as to what she was talking about.

"Speaking to the king of lies himself.. when you asked i didnt know what her name was so technically i didnt lie! But you should know all about lying though" August was confused.

"All of sudden you left me in church cause you had to quote on quote pick up your sister! went to apologize to find out that she never called you she came unexpected! Your family didnt have a family dinner in years!"she yelled

"And then i'm the liar ? You better go check yourself" August was left stunned. Had my sister tell her everything. Damn. How was i gonna fix this he thought.

Everybody was silent. Seeing as the situation was awkward.

"Go get her dawg.. she outside in the back." Pierre said encouraging him.

He rushed off to find while the others tried to rekindle the game.

"Hey mama" he said cautiously as he slowly walked to her. She was sitting on the swing set.

She didnt reply. "Look i'm sorry i lied.. i dont even know why i did. I guess i was scared..i dont know"

"Scared of what August ?"
Sighed. As he breathe out into his hands. He didnt wanna go deep in his feelings.

"I just dont like the way people stare at me.. they look at me in disgust..like i'm some kind of garbage..like i dont belong there...its uncomfortable." She listened intendedly.

"Dont worry about them.. nobody knows your story so they have no rights to look at you funnyy..."

"Thats why i dont like to go to church.. filled with hyprocrytes and shi-stuff" mya staled faced him.

"Dont even try them pity excuses okay ? Everywhere we go got hypocrytes boo .. the supermarket school the mall everywhere but yet we stil go there all the time."
She had a point and August knew that.

"We dont live life for the satisfaction of others i think we all would die trying and we still wouldnt satisfy them. When we go to church we dont go for the sake of others we go for ourselves because we are the ones in need we need the help that why we shouldnt care how people look at us as long as your relationship with god is aight"

" i understand you ma, i like when you go all preaching mode on me.. make me feel different.. a good type of different." August said feeling convinced and better. He kissed her forehead.

"Lool .. i mean yea church is for everybody not just people who believe.. church is like a hospital for sinners..our goal is to save people not run them away.. those people who watch you funny ..dont mind them." She kissed his cheek this time.

"Alright i think we should go inside with the rest before their suspicion rises." She chuckled. "Dirty minded children" she mumbled while chuckling.

As the entered and they saw the rest laughing gun shots went off.
In a flash of 2 seconds everyone went landed on the floor.

Dennis dived into the bathroom on the floor with his hands on his head. " I doesnt die! I doesnt die!"

Pierre jumped behind the chair. Marcus was under the table rocking himself.

Rebecca was on the ground by the kintchen counter.
"Oh the blood of jesus .. oh the blood of jesus " she sang wearily.

These jokers Mya thought. She couldnt help but laugh at how everyone yelled.
"You alright ma?"
When the gun shots went off August pulled Mya down to the floor. She nodded while laughing.

"Everybody alright?!" August bawled out through the house.
Everybody replied yes.

"How about we all stay together tonight. Ion think is safe to leave " the lights were still out. Mya told them where they could find some sleeping bags and sheets.

As they were fixing up the beds everyone was getting tired and sleepy. Mya kept yawning August couldnt help but find it so cute. He set up the couch for them to sleep on.

August layed with Mya on the couch. She was as sleepy as she could ever be. Yet august found it so adorable.
He kissed the back of her neck. She felt tingles run through her whole body as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck again before mumbling 'goodnight'

"Dennis stop touching my leg before i castrate you" rebecca kept feeling some thing on her legs.

"It aint me i swear" he raised his hands in defense.

"Damn coward " she mumbled . She knew he was just scared but wanna play tough guy.
