Saving August

Get Away

"Rob, it all happened so fast. Im so shook up still." Rob rubbed through my hair and tried to comfort me because after two weeks I still grieved. It was going to take awhile for me to get over this, but I had to eventually.

"Between me and you T, I think it's for the best. I mean, God knows what would've happened next if you would've went with him. This town small and you know it. Word get around easy about everybody."

I just kind of dazed off while Rob talked and eventually fell asleep because I haven't been getting any sleep, but with him I felt so much better. He was the only thing I had to keep me sane.

August POV

"Lorenzo man, I know this is bad. I shouldn't have got you to do it."

"Look bro, all im asking is my tracks covered?"

"Most definitely, its a small town Lo."

"And that's what im saying, you think word don't get around. Check this out, the girl that's staying with you, I got background on her."

"Oh yeah? What is it?"

"A couple years ago, back when we all was in high school. Zeke was caught up in some shit with these boys.. he owed them money, but the nigga couldn't get it back fast enough, they was threatening him, went to his house shot his mama, no remorse. He caught them there just in time.. shot all them, got out clean nobody know. But I was his boy back then so what went on I knew everything I never got involved until later because I had to support myself and my girl at the time."

"And Tia?"

"I heard she got the boys out the house, can't nobody find the bodies."

"I just find it crazy how, you hung with Zeke clique, you my dawg, Rhonda hoe ass is Zeke step sister, Tia was Zeke girlfriend. Question, has Tia ever seen you?"

"Oh yeah, she knows me. I haven't seen her since then, I been to her house when she was at work, Zeke threw lil kickbacks."

"So, how do you know exactly she got the bodies out the house?"

"Zeke told me, he said if shit ever went down... she was going down too and he'll go free, we was drunk but motherfucker I wasn't that damn drunk to understand what he was saying. But like I said, now that Zeke gone I won't be around for too long."

"What you mean, you moving wassup?"

"Yeah, my girl want out. She said its too dangerous now, for her and the baby."

I nodded as if he can see me "I understand bro, but aye, thanks for getting the job done again."

"No problem bro."

"Lata"

"Peace."

I hung up and placed my phone on my bed still furious because I still had no clue who the hell shot me that night at the club but the job was done getting rid of Zeke, so that was a win on my list. I just wanted to keep Tia safe, but from what I was just told, she can keep both of us safe, but the cover up was me being a DJ, I wasn't going to come out and tell her Im out for people heads.
