Young Love (Nobody Knows) (August Alsina Story)

Prologue

Love is a strong word, how come nobody uses it in the right way? I can hear my mom now when I was a kid. Kissing me goodnight, tucking me in bed, telling me how much she loves me. That's all different now. Ever since my brother is now out of the picture and I went from an A student to a crip nigga on the street selling crystal meth, she disowned me.

Love is indescribably confusing to tell. Love is like a cake that you can never finish. A picture that is so breath taking that you can never stop looking at it with amazement. If I had my love with me, I would say, "You completely me.. You make my soul jump at times when it needs to .be stable. You make my heart flutter when your lips touch mine. Or when say how much I care or you appreciate me around, how much I changed for you and how much I love you makes me weak at night. I can't say that I'm afraid around you, but I'm afraid to be myself. Everything about you makes me think about you, everyday and night. You help me when I'm down make the sun come up out of my soul. I love you cause you are the one that sleeps with me at night and the one that would be with me on my death bed.

I walk pass my mom as she sat in the living room watching her stories. "August your father wants you to come straight home after school. He has something for you," she said as she didn't even look at me and I knew it was something about her that my dad has to tell me again. Always the bullshit man. "Yeah ok," I said as I walked out the door.

I walked to school and I see my boy Dwayne coming from the office. "Wassup man," he said as he walked towards me. "Wassup cuz, aye did ya find who killed my bro yet?" I asked him. "Nah bra old dude said he thinks Jihiad is up to it but that nigga been gone and just came back like last week," he said and I was disappointed. Damn, I want my brother to have justice but this shit is hard. "Aight. But what's for tonight man?" I asked him and he looked to see if anyone was coming and the hallways where cleared. "Yo cuz, its this party tonight. Boss says we need a day off the job, you know? I'm thinking about going and maybe getting some pussy while I'm at it. You should go," he said and I scratch my head. I dont know if I should go out. Plus my mom doing the bullshit I dont know why she don't trust me. She barely even knows how I feel. "I don't know man, I'll let you know," I said and he nodded.

I'm in philosophy class, I hear my teacher yapping off a whole bunch of bullshit about the human body. I see this girl just staring at me. I look behind me to see if there was anyone there but I forget I was in the back of class. She laughs and points at me. I wave at her and she waves back. "Mr. Alsina, are you paying attention or is there something more important?" the teacher asked me. "No sir I'm listening loud and clear," I said and the class laughs including the girl. "Good now....-" and he went on about the human body, I was writing the notes until the bell rings. It rings and everyone is out. I get up and I bump into the girl as I'm walking out. "My bad miss I apologize," I said and she blushes. "No need its my fault," she said and I smirked. "What's your name?" I asked her " Lovely, and yours?" she said as I smiled. "August and Lovely you have an amazing name for a beautiful, exquisite young lady," I said to her and she blushed. "Thank you," she said as she let me pass her. "See you around cutie," she said as she walked down the hallway to her next class. That girl w as really something.

I get home and I see my dad on the couch. "Son we got to talk," he said as I put my bag down by the door. "Is it a me and you talk or is it something she wants to say to me but is to mad at me to say it?" I said with an attitude. "Come on august." "Nah dad I don't want to hear it. She don't know how the fuck I feel that Jubei is gone. She doesn't understand why I do the shit I do now. I'm the problem child somewhat but its whatever. Why cant you talk to me huh?!" I said as I got in my mom face. "Answer me. I never disrespected you or pops in anyway but you can disrespect me right?! Thats fucked up, yo I'm out," I said as I walked to the door and slammed it. "August!!!" I hear my dad but right now I really dont want to be bothered. Fuck everyone right now I'm doing me.

Lovely POV

I'm outside on the porch as I wait for my friend at my house. I really don't like going to parties but this better be a good one. My ex keep calling my phone, I really dont want to be bothered with him. She finally gets to my house and we leave.

We got to the party and its packed with a whole bunch of people. I walked around and I see the boy from earlier. I think his name is.... oh yeah August. I walked up to him and I waved in his face. He is really smart and cute, whats not to like about a guy with brains? "Hi," I said and he hugged me. "He miss Lovely, how you get here?" he said and I blushed as he says my name. He makes it sound so amazing. "With my friend, she dragged me here but I really didnt want to come," I said and he nodded. "My boy invited me," he said as he looked around. "You wanna leave, im getting bored?" he asked me and I nodded. I wasn't really feeling the party since I'm really not a drinker. We walk out the party and I see my ex walking towards us. "So this is the reason why you haven't been answering my calls being with this nigga?" he says as August flips him the bird. "James you know why I'm not answering you. I don't want you back, you cheated on me with Gabrielle. It's done," I said as I moved him out the way but he pulled my hair. "Who the fuck you think you talking to lovely?" he said as August get in the middle and pushed James on the floor. "Ayoo, cuz I suggest you better leave or we gonna have a problem," he said as he got in his face. "Nigga who the hell is you?" he asked him. "I'm a nigga who's a mystery now get the fuck out of here and if I see you near her again, it would be the last bitch," August said and James left smirking. I really don't think August is playing but I feel safe that he just protected me.

We're walking and we sit in a park. "You ok?" he asked me. "Yeah I'm ok, thanks but you didn't have  do that," I said to him and he looked at me funny. "I  it because you as a beautiful woman you dont deserve any of that shit," he said and my cheeks got red. "Do you want me to walk you home or I don't have to do that?" he asked me getting smart. I smirked and I nodded. When I got to my house, I got August number and I texted him.

August POV

When I get in the house my dad called for me in the kitchen. "August what happen?" he asked as I rolled my eyes and sat down. "Dad you see how she acts, what if she was in my shoes, huh? She never asked or talk to me about the situation so I took it in a different approach. If she dont like it that's not my problem anymore," I said as I stared at him. I may call him my dad but he's not. I look up to him as a dad since he was in my life when I was about 5. My real dad ran out on my mom. "She does love you August," he said as he put his hand on my shoulder. "Really, then why does she treat me like I'm nobody?" I asked him, no response. I walked to my room and took out my notebook. I started writing out some things about how I feel. This notebook I write my songs, poetry and my feelings. Nobody ever gets to this, nobody ever knows how I feel. Nobody does.
