Sixteen year old Izel (EYE-ZEL) has been going through the worst things ever since she was young. Her father passed away before she was born, and her mother went and remarried someone Izel hated very much. He goes into her room every night and eithe...
The next morning I woke up and I felt August moving a lot in his sleep.
"Babe?" I shook him so he could wake up.
I also noticed he was sweating really hard.
"What?" He groaned.
"Wake up, what's wrong?" I frowned.
"Nothing, leave me alone."
His voice was raspy as ever and his eyes were really dark and low.
My frown got deeper and I left his room to go to mine.
I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth and got dressed into something more comfortable.
Like always, I walked downstairs and saw Travis and his friend in the kitchen. Me and August are waking up late because it's twelve in the afternoon.
"Damn, I thought y'all was dead." Travis laughed.
"No, but your brother will end up dead." I rolled my eyes and grabbed me a bowl.
"Why you say dat?" He frowned.
"He woke up giving me attitude when I was trying to make sure he was okay. He's been acting weird since yesterday." I shook my head.
"Maybe he - Shit, I don't know. I'a talk to him."
"You know August stubborn ass aint gon listen to shit you say." Zane laughed.
"Oh yes he will" Travis chuckled "If he wants to continue living, he'll know to listen."
I poured my cereal first and then my milk and I noticed both Zane and Travis looking at me weird.
"Do not argue me on which comes first." I frowned.
"I'm not even gon' say nothing except - What you did was just dumb as fuck shordy." Zane laughed.
"It's not dumb, it's- You know what, I don't have to explain myself to you imbeciles." I rolled my eyes and ate my cereal.
"Yo, I forgot I gotta go pick up my sister from her job." Zane said while looking for his keys.
"Here." I passed him his keys that were sitting on the island next to my bowl.
"I'll see you later Trav" They did their handshake then he left.
"Y'all handshake was gay a-f." I giggled.
"Your boyfriend is too." He smiled and walked away.
I shook my head and stopped my phone from vibrating. I had a whole bunch of incoming texts.
I went to my messages and saw another private number.

By now, I was creeped out and I didn't know if I should do what this person said or not.
I heard footsteps coming toward me and I turned around facing August.
"Are you finally out of your cranky mood?" I rose a brow.
"I'm sorry for dat."
"Why have you been acting so weird lately?"
"Weird? Like how?" He frowned.
"You've been jumpy, and you're- You're just not yourself."
He sighed and shook his head a little bit.
"To be straight up with you, Nadia gave me these pills to calm my anger down, because I had ran out of the other junk, and I think those are the side effects."
"What are the pills called?"
He looked at me then back at his phone.
"Or don't tell me, that's fine." I shook my head. "By the way, I don't think the unknown texted is Kai." I frowned.
"What makes you think dat? Zane and Travon did they lil hacking shit or whateva' and it traced ta ha'."
"I understand that, but now it's another one."
"Another what?"
I thought back to the message and decided to not tell August.
"Nothing, forget I said anything. I'm going to go walking at around four."
"You love walking huh?"
"Yes, I do." I smiled.
"You want me to go wi-"
"No - I mean, yea... no, I don't want you to come."
"Damn, excuse me then."
"I didn't mean it like that, I just want to be alone."
"It's fine mama. Ion like walking anyway." He laughed.
I shook my head and laughed at him.
* Later on that day, I was already starting my walk to Panera and I was kind of scared.
I was also eager to know who the person was that wanted to meet me.
Remembering the text said to meet them behind Panera, I walked down the dark alley way and saw a tall manly silhouette.
As I got closer to the person, I realized who it was.
