*Los Angeles*

Chris POV:

For these last few weeks, I've had Royalty. But, today was tha first day she met Reina. So, now...she knows she's a big sis. But, I needa talk to MeMe...

Me: "Mariah?"

She side eyes me

Me: "Really? You're still mad"

She just stares at me

Me: "I said sorry"

Mariah: "Dat doesn't help much"

Me: "Well, I hope this will. My mama wants to have me down for tha fourth. And she wants you to come with me so she can meet chu and Reina"

She just looks at me

Me: "She called me this mornin'. So, we leave in tha mornin' goin' to Virgina..."

Mariah: "You didn't even ask me"

Me: "That's cuz I know you and your answer"

She rolls her eyes

Me: "It'll be fun. Plus, you'll meet my sister. You'll fit right in"

Mariah: "You have a sister?"

I nod

Me: "This is basically a meet and greet..."

Mariah: "And if nobody likes me.. ?"

Me: "Deal with it"

Mariah: "Real helpful"

Me: "You're welcome"

She gets up and walks off. I was just bein' honest...

*Los Angeles*

August POV:

Lately I've been busy. I keel myself distracted. I moved ta Cali fa business purpose. Best move eva made! A nigga is focused. Positive energy. Ava's happy. But, I wonder bout some shit. When I walk in my livin' room, I grab my laptop.

Me: "Aye!"

Trav and Cha walk in

Chandra: "You got it?"

I nod

Chandra: "Good. We've waited long enough"

Me: "*chuckles* Y'all tha first ta hear"

Travis: "I feel so honored" He says as he fake cries

I chuckle. He's so dramatic. I juss finished dis song I've been workin' on. They're tha first ta hear it. I've had some inspiration behind it...

Me: "You done, bruh?"

Travis: "Yea. You can play it na"

I press play and relax

(Listen. Not listen. I did it for my pleasure lol)

As I'm listenin'...I'm juss thinkin'. Then flashbacks start rollin' in. Some make me laugh. Some put a smile on my face. When it ends, I close my laptop.

Chandra: "I love dat song, Aug"

Travis: "It's fire, bruh"

Me: "Thank you"

Chandra: "And I know who you were thinkin' bout when you did it"

I juss look at ha

Travis: "Its been three months. Talk ta ha"

Me: "No"

Chandra: "You know you wanna check in ha..."

Me: "No. She's a grown woman. She makes grown woman decisions"

Travis: "But, tha inner you is worried as fuck. Your pride won't let chu do it..."

Me: "Juss fa'get about it. 'Iight? Nun y'all say will change my mind. And you're right. It has been three months. Which means if anythang you've said hasn't gotten through ta me. Nun will. But, glad y'all feelin' tha song"

I get up and go back upstairs. I admit...yea. I was thinkin' bout MeMe when I made dat song. And yea...I'm worried. But...once I'm pissed...dats it. I'm not dealin' wit it. At all.

*2am*

It's past two...and I'm still awake. So, I put on my shoes, grab my stuff, then walk out my room. I check on Ava and she's still asleep. I go downstairs walkin' outside ta my car. I get in and juss drive around. Then my phone rings. I pick it up and look at it. I know ha numba. I juss send ha right ta voicemail. But, she leaves one. I pull ova and check it

*Voicemail Begins*

"Aug. I know you hate me. Honestly, Ion blame you fa it. You have every right ta be upset at me. Dats not what I wanted. But, I asked fa it by doin' what I said I wouldn't. *sighs* I juss hope you decide ta at least speak. Bring Ava. We've been dealin' wit each otha fa dis long. No point in stoppin' na. I miss you, Anthony"

*Voicemail Ends*

I push tha end buttom then toss my phone in tha passenger seat and rub my head. Then tap my steerin' wheel. I put my car in drive and drive off...

Mariah POV:

I can't sleep. Neitha can Reina cuz she's up bein' playful. I'm not up fa goin' ta Virgina wit Chris. He's on my bad side. But, Aug been on my mind. I figured he'd be up. So, I call his phone. It rings a few times...then goes straight ta his voicemail. So I left one. Then hung up. I need a rewind button...
