OK guys. So, you remember when August & Avery was sitting out by the lake & August was telling her about his brother dying when he was only a few years older than Aug?
Yea, well I had to change that because in the book, they were only a couple of years apart. If I would've kept August's age 12 or 13 when Mel passed, then that would've meant that Mel & Cha had 3 kids at the age of 14 or 15.
Ya see what I'm saying? So if you can, go back to chapter 24 & reread or re-vote because when it republished, it deleted the reads & votes. I shouldn't have deleted, then republished the part, though. I should've just made this note.
Anywho, I'm so tired if how slow this book is going. I want to speed it up, but if I do, then the book will be shorter than I want it.
Ehh.
Expect some major time skips, though.

"What you find out?" I asked Kre.
"It's definitely that nigga Brice, but tha problem is we can't find him. Me & Austin been lookin for that nigga since befo' he headed back ta Canada."
"He layin' low." I said, lookin' out tha car window, watchin tha rain fall. "I guess we didn't hurt him bad enough."
"We'll find him again, and trust me, we'll make sure that nigga can't do shit afta' we get done wit him." He said through tha phone.
"Aiight, man."
"Aiight. If we have time, we'll discuss it some mo' when we come down fa Christmas."
"Aiight, bruh. Later."
"Later." He said. I hung up the phone and went back inta' tha house to a curious Avery.
"Why were you outside in the rain?" she asked.
"I was in tha car."
"Is everything alright?"
"Nothin I can't handle." I said as she came closer ta me.
She brushed off what I said and grabbed my hands.
"Would you like a pre-Christmas gift?"
She asked and kissed my neck, then my lips afterwards.
I put my hands under her shit, realizing she didn't have on a bra.
This girl.

"Wake up, you ain't supposed ta sleep on Christmas." Noon said while jumping on our bed.
"Noonie, get out." August said with his face still in the pillows.
A sad look flashed across her face.
I threw the covers off of both August and me. "Come on, August. It's Christmas-- stop being a Grinch." I said, standing up and jumping on the bed, with Noon joining in again soon after.
August looked at us for a moment before grabbing us down.
"What did I say?" he asked as he had Noon and me in a headlock.
"What did we say?" I asked him. I looked at Noon and gave her a wink. On cue, we both bit his arm, causing him to scream.
Breaking out of his embrace, I grabbed Noon's hand and ran downstairs to the family room with everyone else.
