Arthurria's pov.

Its finally Augusts funeral. He didn't die until two weeks after he got shot. He was at the same hospital as me so I went to see him everyday. Its almost seems like a dream. It was just yesterday when he was calling me telling me he loved me and now........now he dead. I just can't believe it. And the cops they didn't even find who did it. They said it was a fucking suicide. I fucking showed them the convo. What else did they need.

"Arthurria come on ! We gone be late !", august momma yells.

"Yes ma'am ! I'm doing Natalia hair !",I was doing some corn rolls. August loved it when she had cornrolls. So I did them for him. And I think she looks extra pretty.

"All done !",I sigh. Na'Talia looks in the mirror and smiles.

"Come on Babygirl.",I say grabbing her hand. I had on a black simple dress and Na'Talia had on a black top with a white skirt with some black flats. I had on some red lipstick with my red pumps. August loved when I had on red. I want everything to be about him today. Nothing is more important right now. I walk in the living room and momma Shelia,  Anastasia , and August dad was all sitting on the couch.

"Everybody ready?", momma Shelia asks. Everybody nods. We wall out and everybody gets into our cars and drive off.

I look in the mirror towards the backseat and Na'Talia is playing with her fingers.

"What's wrong love?",I ask turning down the radio.

"Daddy lefted me. I'm gonna miss him so much.",she says crying. Awe that breaks my heart.

"Daddy told me to tell u something. Before he went with god. U wanna hear it?", I know this will lighten her mood.

"Yes", she sniffs.

"He told me to tell u that he loves u. And that no matter what he will always be  with u. In ur heart.",I say letting a tear fall. I haven't even got to the funeral and I'm already crying. Losing someone u love is hard. I guess I know what my mom felt like when my dad left. My dad wasn't the greatest man in the world but he still was my dad. And I love him. I knoe what Na'Talia is going through and I just wanna help her.  I pull up to the funeral ground and park.

"We here.",I announce. We get out and meet the rest of the family.

"This is a nice place.",I whisper to momma Shelia once we sit down.

"I knoe. I didn't even knoe august had this already picked out. That boy always thinking ahead.",she says dapping her eyes. I put my arm around her to comfort her. Na'Talia pats my arm.

"That lady keeps staring at me.",she says pointing towards Tashia who is hiding behind a man.

"Why she here?",I whisper to Shelia. She looks over and scoffs.

"Idk ,but she ain't never did anything but start trouble for my son. Hell she might be the reason he in that fucking casket.", momma says. I nod my head. I lean over and tell Na'Talia that it'd going to be ok.

"Welcome to the goodbye to a great man. He was a singer , Police officer , family man , and he was a friend to many. Even though he is in the heaven he will be fairly missed. But he is in gods hands. We will like to look at some of the moments of Mr. Alsina",he says. The lights go out and a slideshow starts. Its this one picture that catches my eye. It was Tashia.



Thats the picture. I can tell its old but why is it up there? I guess momma seen it to.
