The Girl On Tour 2

Chapter 8

-One Year Later-

"I gotta roll out soon." August tells me. He's been keeping me company today, but he has an interview. Today was the kids' first day of school, and Santo went to hang out with Ray.

"It's okay." I smile at him.

"The bum called you today?"

"No, he calls Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday." I answer.

"Today is Monday." August tells me.

"He calls at six pm, remember?"

"Mm." He nods.

"And I'm supposed to take the kids up there tomorrow." I mention.

"I'a go witcha." He tells me. "What time?"

"We have to leave at twelve to make it there by three." I answer.

"Okay."

My phone dings about four times, so I check it.

Loni had also texted me.

To: Loni

Okay. -10:58

And the rest were notifications from twitter.

I go to my twitter, checking the trending. It was #BellaMovedOn. I clicked it, seeing many people tweeting about a picture August had posted on his Instagram. 'Beach day with this beauty before summer ends. I love you.'

I smile, going to my Instagram. I post a picture of him that I had taken yesterday. 'I love you too.'

"They go crazy over everything." August laughs, watching from over my shoulder. "Can't even tell my best friend I luh you."

I laugh along with him, then Mae-Lynn starts crying, which wakes up her twin brother, Aiden. "I have to go get them." I stand up, August standing up with me.

"Uncle Aug can help." He laughs, when I look at him. He helps all the time, I just hope he doesn't feel like he has to.

"Okay...Uncle Aug." I laugh.

"That's what Royal called me the otha' day. He said Jacob ain't his uncle no mo'."

"Royal, he's something else." I laugh.

"He's funny." August chuckles.

Let me catch you up before I go any farther, Jacob got four years in prison, that's the maximum they usually give. Along with four years in prison, there was a six thousand dollar fine, one thousand and five hundred hours of community service, anger management and he can only be around the kids while supervised.

We also got a divorce. He didn't want to, but I explained to him that I couldn't keep trying. I couldn't keep letting him do the things that he does.
