"August, I'm not playing. Promise me." I told him with a serious tone.

"Alright ma, I promise."

"Thank you."

He just promised me that no matter who tries to stop our relationship, we won't let them.

People try to mess up our relationship everyday. Everyday for almost two years. August and I have been seeing each other for almost two years now and people tried to break us up because he's "not good for me", but six months ago, things got worse.

Six months ago I introduced August and my parents. They hated him, they tried to keep us apart. They practically locked me in my room to keep him away from me.

I heard my parents car pull up into the driveway.

"August, they're back. You gotta go." I said in a panicked tone, while pushing him.

"Alright, don't push me." He walked over to the window. When he was halfway out, he stopped, "I love you," then he kissed me on the lips.

"I love you too, be safe." I plopped down on the bed right before my bedroom door opened.

"Do you not know how to knock?"

"Yeah, I know how to knock, but I don't have to because this is my house."

I rolled my eyes, in hopes that she didn't see me, then laid on my back, looking up at the ceiling.

"I brought you a sub from Subway. With everything you like." She waved the sub in the air.

"Just put it on the desk." I said and watched as she sat the sub on the desk and left. After she was out the door, I made my way over to the desk and grabbed the sub. Even though I'm mad at her right now, I'll never turn down food. I love food more than anything, but I'm not fat.

I don't know why they don't like August anyway. I mean, I like him, aren't parents supposed to support your decisions no matter what?

Daddy calls him a "troublesome boy", but he doesn't even know August enough to call him troublesome. I honestly think that mama likes him a little bit, but just wants to go along with daddy. I don't care what they think anyway, August is mine and always will be. They think I stopped seeing him, but little do they know, I will see that "troublesome boy" before tomorrow.

I saw out if the corner of my eye that was my phone was vibrating. I grabbed it from the other side of my bed and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hey, baby." His voice was so cute.

"I wanna do something tonight, you workin'?" I asked, hoping that he would say no.

"Yeah."

"Can you tell them you can't come tonight?"

"Nah, I can't. I'm sorry, but I gotta go."

"Lov-" Before I was able to finish my sentence, he hung up.

I don't know what August does. Every time I ask him, he changes the subject. So eventually, I stopped asking because it was obvious that he was never going to tell me.

I guess I won't be seeing that "Troublesome Boy" tonight like I thought.

With the feeling of rejection, I called my friend, Shelby. Shelby was a big girl, or as she called it "plump" or "round". She was there for me since the third grade.

"Hello?"

"I'm outside, open the door. It's hot as fuckin' hell out here." She yelled through the phone.

"Just use the extra key, you know where we keep it."

She hung up the phone and seconds later, she walked through my door and plopped down on my bed.

"Hey, bitch. Guess who I just seen.

"Who?"

"August, sneaking around and shit. Y'all need to stop."

I sighed. "Shelby, you know how I feel about August, I can't just stop seeing him, but you know how they are."

"Yeah, I know, but if I was you I'll right up to them and say exactly what's on my mind." She said.

"And they'd throw your ass to the curb like a piece of trash."

We laughed.

"But for real though, y'all got to do something, you can't be sneaking around forever."

"I know, I'm trying."
