I woke up at around midnight from hearing laughing coming from the hallway and I knew it was August. Him and Travis have this thing where they're loud without caring who's sleep and who's not, and it annoyed the fuck out of me.

"Could y'all shutup?" I tried to say in my loudest yet softest voice.

"Aye lil girl." Travis opened my door. "Who ya think ya talkin to? I know it's not me. Come make me shutup." He pointed to his mouth.

I flicked him off with an evil glare.

"Aye Aug, you betta handle ya lil girlfriend befo' me and her get to fighting."

August had mumbled something inaudible before Travis closed my door.

Since I was already up, I pulled my laptop out from under my bed and went to my movie site, 123Movies.com, and searched for my favorite movie, Everything, Everything.

I cry every time I watch this movie. She's sort of like me, except she has a better life.

Halfway into the movie, I hear a knock, but I thought it was from the movie so I didn't budge.

I saw August walk in.

I paused the movie and sat up so he could sit down.

"This ya movie?"

"I like it."

"Cool."

"What do you want?" I frowned.

"I wanna say sorry, but not like this." He looked me straight in the eyes. "Come with me."

"I don't-"

"Please? It won't be long." He grabbed my hand.

"I have to get dressed?"

"Just something simple."

I got out of the bed and I felt slightly uncomfortable because of the small shorts I had on and the tanktop was really revealing.

"Could you leave? I'll come out when i'm ready." I told him.

Even though he wasn't staring or anything, I still didn't want him seeing me like this.

"Yes ma'am." He walked out of the room and shut my door.

"August where are we going?"

"Remember I told ya I wanna say sorry." He looked at me then back at the road.

I stayed quiet for the rest of the ride and listened to the music that was lowly playing.

We slowly drove up to a building and it was made up of nothing but glass.

"Are you scared of heights?" August asked me as he unbuckled his seat belt.

I nodded quickly while doing the same.

He came to my side of the car and let me out and he took my hand in his.

"You'll be fine wit me." He smiled.

I swallowed down my fear and walked with him to this glass building.

"We're going all the way to the top?" I frowned.

"Yea, but when you get up there, you gon' be aight."

I stepped into the building with him and I thought there was going to be another door, but boy was I wrong.

August pushed some buttons and I realized we were in a glass elevator. I quickly grabbed August and held onto him, causing him to laugh at me.

We reached the top and it was a really dark room.

"I can't see." I held onto August tighter.

"Put these on." I felt a pair of glasses being handed to me and when I put them on, I was in awe.

It felt like I was in the sky. It's a VR room with nothing but stars.

"I was lookin at some of ya drawin's and I noticed you like stars." August looked at me.

"So I figured, why not take the most beautiful girl out to go see something beautiful."

I smiled and gave him my attention.

"I swea' ya smile is the most cutest thing I've eva' seen."

"Stop making me blush." I covered my cheeks.

"Aight." He chuckled. "But seriously, I'm sorry if you think i'm dat nigga that's not trying to help you out or whatever. I really care bout you and I'm not helping you just so I can have sex with you. I wanna kill your stepdad though." He laughed. "I wouldn't make you come and live wit my family just for sex ma, but I think I like you." He frowned. "I don't usually fall this hard for someone but - There's something bout you."

"August..." I looked away from him.

"What? Tell me how you feel." He grabbed my hand.

"I don't want to end up in a relationship with you only to get hurt all over again." I took the glasses off because he did.

"My intentions are to be there for you. I won't hurt you." He switched the lights on.

I could tell he wasn't lying.

"You want me to be your girlfriend?" I looked up at him.

"Yes." He smiled.

I reached to his level and gave him a hug.

"I'll be yours." I whispered in his ear as tears slowly fell from my eyes.

"Awe don't cry mama." He wiped my tears. "I promise I won't hurt you."

I nodded my head.

We headed back down to the car and we were silent, but it wasn't uncomfortable.

"Where'd you find this place?"

"Oh, my brother used to take us here whenever we wanted to do something fun. I haven't been there since then."

"Why not?"

"It reminds me too much of him."

"I'm sorry." I looked away from him.

"But I got new memories forming. I might start going back." He smiled at me.

"I swear I would have never known you were this sweet if I hadn't met you." I giggled.

"You admit that you judge people?" He looked at me.

"No.." I trailed. "Maybe I just judged the wrong person." I shrugged. "I'm sorry."

"It's fine." He laughed. "I won't lie, I judged you."

"What'd you think of me?"

"I thought you were going to be one of those conceited preppy girls. Ya know like dem ones off'a mean girls."

I laughed at his thought.

"Do I really look like it?"

"Yes, you do. But of course, I was wrong."

"Wow. No one has ever told me that before." I giggled.

When we got back to the house, it was about three in the morning and I knew everyone was sleep.

"I'm gonna take a shower then go to sleep." I told August.

"Aight, Sleep good, beautiful." He planted a kiss on my cheek then walked out of my room.

I smiled and closed my door.
