Chapter 50

Continuous of Chapter 49

Samir POV

He has to be joking.

We can't just up and move to Barbados. Everybody has lives here , everything is here in New York.

I don't know nothing else.

Why do we have to move ?

I guess August could see the confusion and irritation on my face because he spoke again.

"Look baybeh I ain't trynna argue , I'm just askin' for yo opinion."

"On what exactly August ? Moving ? We can't just move out of the freaking country."

He sighed before removing one of his hands , that was resting on my hip , rubbing it down his face.

"Shit gettin' crazy out here mama and it's gettin' more personal."

"Elaborate please."

"Yo mama want my head baybeh and by da way she comin' she ain't gonna stop til she get it. It's two ways dis shit can go and right now I'm trynna pick da betta way for us."

"What's the two ways ?"

"One...we pick up and move in a middle of da night leaving nun behind. Let be real ain't shit for us here Samir."

"My job is here !  Something I worked my ass off to get , do you know how hard it was to get where I am at August ! I can't just leave."

Pushing me off his lap August stood up off the bed with his back to me.

"You keep sayin' I like you da only one dats in dis Samir."

"I'm the one that has everything to lose !"

"How ?!" He yelled to the top of his lungs.

My body jumped a little as I placed my hands in my lap.

"I lost my brudah cuz of dis bitch. Yo mama got Mel killed Samir ! I missed two years outta my kids lives cuz she put yo brudah in some shit dat ain't have nun to do with him. And turnt my homie against me. You gonna sit here and tell me you got everything to lose. I lost everything when I buried Melvin !!!!"

Even though I couldn't see his face , I knew he was hurt. I could hear it in his voice.

What came out his mouth next tore me up inside.

"You so fuckin' selfish mane."

"How am I selfish August ? I always put you before me. So tell me how am I selfish !"

"What da fuck have you put before me Samir ?"

By now he was facing me.

I really can't believe what the hell I am hearing.

"Are you serious Anthony ? My life was basically on hold these two years you were gone. You in and out of da hospital because you couldn't grow the fuck up and take your medicine. You being shot ! I was there for everything ! And you going to say I'm selfish."

I mentally debated with myself for a split second about what I was going to say next but fuck it.

"You're the one that's Selfish ! Did you even think twice one you killed Michael ?! Did you think about how dat made me feel ?! He was my brother August !"

"So what !"

"...what did you-" he cut me off.

"I said so da fuck what. Yeah I killed him Samir dats what you wanna hear me say. I did it and if I could take it back...I wouldn't."
