Following day, December 1st, 11:02 am.
"Zonnique you could've at least called! I thought something happened to Ariana or something. Now my assistant is terrified of your ass" August said walking inside my home shaking his head. I discretely rolled my eyes and locked the front door. He comes over my house early in the morning with this bullshit. "Whatever" I mumbled leaning against the wall while looking down at my feet. Sometimes I just feel like August doesn't even care about me anymore. I know I hurt him badly but it was the biggest mistake I've ever made. I was such a fool. "Zonnique are you okay?" he asked lifting my face with his thumb. My stomach began rumbling with butterflies feeling him touch me. "Yes" I replied softly looking up at his eyes. He leaned in causing me to silently gasp. My world crashed feeling his lips on my forehead. Well something is better than nothing right? "Daddy?" Ariana's voice called resulting in eyes moving away from eachother. "Hey" he smiled as she hugged him tightly giggling. I grinned from afar watching them embrace. "Are you staying here?" she asked excitedly. His smile shortly faded looking down at our daughter. "No I was just stopping by to see you.." "Oh. What about mommy? You don't wanna see her?" We both laughed slightly. She's determined to get us back together which is adorable. "Ariana go get dressed and ready for breakfast babe" I said combing through her messy hair. "Alright" Ari sulked before walking back to her bedroom.
That left an awkward silence between August and I. "I'll see you later Zonnique-" "No you should stay for breakfast besides Ariana would love that" I suggested nervously playing with the ends of my natural brown hair. It wouldn't hurt for us to try and rebuild a friendship. "You sure?" "Y-Yeah" "Okay.." he said lowly before sitting up on one of the stools. I took out everything I needed to prepare the food or whatnot. Usually I'd just go out to ihop but I'm not even in the mood. I cracked six eggs into the bowl then added milk, a little salt then pepper. "So how's everything?" "Meaning what?" I asked glancing back at him. "You know what I mean Zonnique" "Yes I still still but I don't pop pills a lot" "Are you ever going to be the Zonnique I met awhile ago? The one who was hard headed but responsible, crazy but fun to be around and most of all strong" he sighed. A tear slid down but I quickly wiped it away with my back still turned to him. "Stop pretending that you care Aug! Nobody gives a fuck about me and that's how itself always been" I spat. "You know that is not true. I don't know about those other niggas you fucked with but, I've always loved you Zonnique. Whether we went through our shit or not. You're forever in my heart" By this time I was crying hysterically like a little child. I can't trust anyone no more and it's causing me distance myself from loving again. To hear August say that to me, I didn't know how to feel. "Y-You still love me?" "Of course Zee but you need help.. I want you stop doing harm to yourself and focus on moving forward. Even if that's not with me in the picture. Im sure Chris will make you happy-" "We're not together" I groaned with my head in my hands. August paused for a whole minutes before clearing his throat. "So why'd you break up with me? You wanted him instead huh?" "August I thought he wanted to be with me but no! I was fooled.. betrayed... and most of heartbroken. Do you know how much I sacrificed for Chris? I cheated on Cameron with him then he pulls more bullshit. It's like a pattern"
There's no way I'm going to just let Chris fuck me over like that. He's slowly but surely going to regret choosing Meghan over me. "He'll come around-" "No fuck him. I hope he's happy with her and they spend the rest of their lives together" "You guys are.. bipolar but whatever" August said rolling his eyes slightly. I finished up the breakfast and called Ariana in back to eat. We sat at my round table, enjoying the food and actually bonding. It never felt better to just be with these two right now.

4:56 pm.
"Mommy! Daddy! Wake up, it's a blizzard outside" Ariana screamed causing my eyes to snap open. Did she just say a blizzard? No fucking way. August and I had somehow fell asleep after eating then watching martin. I didn't think we'd be asleep that long though. We both walked to the front door while Ari opened it. Cold air smacked my face immediately. The ground was covered in snow while more just fell from the white skies. The snow had to be at least ten inches high which was scary. "Oh shit.. how am I going to get home?" August asked himself rubbing the back of his neck. "Stay here please!" Ariana begged poking out her bottom lip. "Yeah you can just stay here if you want. The roads probably won't be cleared until monday morning" I added before taking a long yawn. "I don't knooow" he mumbled causing me to laugh. He can be so modest sometimes. "August where else are you going to go man? Make yourself comfortable!" "I don't even have clothes.." "I think I have some of your stuff in my room. Stop bugging." "You really want me here huh?" Aug smirked folding his arms obnoxiously. I blushed and playing rolled my eyes looking at him. "Don't get cocky boy... I'm going to go take a shower" I said then walked back to my bedroom.
August
While Zonnique showered, Ariana wanted to show me something in her room. I followed her into the panda themed bedroom. She's addicted to animals for some reason, that I don't know. Honestly I still had mixed feelings about being here. It just feels strange between Nique and I now. She's going through a lot and I want to help her but it'll take time. I'll take some the blame for her ending up like this. Maybe I should have treated her better in the past. "Look daddy! It's my project that Ms.Kim assigned me. I had to create a paragraph about my hereo and draw a picture. I chose two people; you plus mommy" Ariana explained holding up two papers. A smile appeared upon my face looking at how neat she is. "Wanna hear me read it?" "Yeah go ahead Ari" I chuckled. She smiled and cleared her throat professionally. "My heroes by Ariana Janice Alsina! I have two great parents, Zahneek and August. They both are really cool. My daddy is my hereo because he always helps me, especially with housework. He also teaches me about music and different types of gen-res. I love him so much! Then it's my mom Zahneek. She's so cute and we look alike. She does my hair, helps me dress pretty, and sings to me sometimes. Both my heroes are strong and they do the best they can to raise me. When I'm older I want to be just like my parents." "You wrote that babygirl?" I asked amazed by everything she said. Ariana nodded then put her papers back into her backpack. "Did ya like it?" "I loved it, we should go show your mama when she gets out the shower" "Okay!" she grinned before clapping really fast.
