9:23PM

It was just getting dark outside when I decided to step out on the porch for some fresh air. August was working night shift at Walmart so I made dinner for him. I felt pretty lonely sitting out here by myself. I wanted to be all cuddled up in his arms but hey. We gotta do what we gotta do to get this rent paid for the month.

Sometimes I cry myself to sleep when im all by myself. I can't handle being alone. It makes me feel so sad.

I stared up at the half moon shining above me. I'd rather be up there right about now. At least it has the world's attention.

In case i didn't mention, I'm diagnosed with High Depression. The only thing that can cure it is love itself or marijuana.
A while back, I promised August I wouldn't smoke because I knew I had him. But now all we do is work and we barely have time together. The smile i put on my face is only covering how i actually feel. My heart is tearing itself apart but I don't want August to know that because he'd quit his job for me. I can't let that happen.

I continued to stare into the sky. I hadn't noticed the hot tears streaming down my face. I buried my head in my knees. Im at the point where it hurts so bad.

"I can't take this pain anymore!"

"I Need You August!"

*August*

"Aye! Bossman!" I knocked on the door to my boss's office. (Obviously 😂) "I need to talk to you about something."

Leonardo opened the door. "Come on in August! What's on your mind?"

I closed the door and took a seat in front of his desk.

"Well. As you know, I've been working very hard here."

"Yes you have." He agreed.

"I been thinking about something lately. You see, I have a spouse living at my home with me and he cant be there alone like that. He's known for having episodes of depression and I can't take my mind off the things he could be possibly doing while i'm working this late."

Leonardo nodded his head. "Hmmm...So do you think you need a break for a while until he gets better?.

"No! Not really! Because we have rent due, I have to work to pay this rent. I'll at least be okay with a schedule change."

He turned on his computer and started typing. For some reason, I always loved the sounds a keyboard makes.

"Well, I can make a deal with you." He faced me again and folded his arms on the table.

"We will give you a few weeks off work so you take care of your loved one. In the meantime, your schedule will be changed to 4:30PM to 9:30PM and we will still be paying you even though you aren't working so you can pay your rent. Sounds good?"
