-Amari Pov-
When I walked in the house, I went to my room & tossed my grandpa's obituary on my bed. I took off my black wedges & unzipped my dress. I had just gotten back from his funeral & it was one of the most depressing days of my life. Of course my papa didn't look the same, but at least they made him look nice. His skin was pale & his white mustache was neatly combed.
I still couldn't believe I lost him at the snap of a finger. Had my grandma told me how sick he was, I would've helped & he'd still be here. I felt like it was very selfish of her to not tell me how sick my papa was.
Nyla cried damn near as much as I did which made it even harder for me.
Standing in the shower, I cried for a little bit before washing my hair & face. I couldn't understand why my life had to be so bad. I still wasn't back with August & I haven't been working. I been too busy moping & mourning.
August was going to leave soon for his 'This thing called life' tour & I knew I would be on my own with Braylen. Nyla & Tyga's marriage was good so I at least was happy for my best friend. At least one of us was mentally happy.
Getting out of the shower, I wrapped my body in a towel & stepped into my bedroom. "Oh um...... I thought you were going to the repast," I said noticing August was sitting on my bed. "I'm not goin' without you bein' thea. I don't want you hea' by yoself," he said. "I'm not up for it. I really don't want to go," I said truthfully before going to my closet & that only made August follow me. "Amari, its a celebration in honor of your grandfather," he said. "Celebration? I'm gonna be surrounded by sad people & their sad ass energy. Some celebration," I said turning around putting on a gray t shirt. "Can you turn around so I can put on my underwear?" I asked August. He stale faced me before turning around.
I put on some panties & August's black sweats. "So you really not gonna go?" He asked after I walked out & sat on my bed. "Nope. I don't wanna be bothered with all of those people Aug," I said. "Those people are your family," he said making me roll my eyes.
"I don't know them so yeah those people. Its sad how it takes a funeral to get everybody together. My parents only had me, my grandparents, my sister, & Nyla at their funeral. My sister didn't even have a funeral. We had a viewing at night time & it was just me & Nyla & then we buried her the next day," I said fighting back tears.
"Well I let GG take Braylen ova thea," he said rubbing the back of his neck. "That's fine. I'll pick him later because I don't want my son spending the night over there. I don't know those people," I said making August sigh & sit next to me. He took of his glasses & his jacket & looked at me. "Well I ain't goin' if you ain't," he said. I shrugged & got under my covers.
"Really? Amari all you've been doin' is sleepin' since he died."
"Sleep makes me forget about everything. At least I'm not doing drugs & cutting myself," I said truthfully.
"Stop sayin' dumb shit & get cha ass up," he said snatching the covers off of me. I huffed & just looked up at him.
"What do you want August? Just let me go to sleep," I sighed. "Nope. Put some shoes on. You gettin' out of dis' house," he said.
I rolled my eyes & got out of the bed. I put on some socks & my black yeezy's. "You startin' to look like me wit' my sweats on," August said. "Yeah whatever," I said following him out of the house.
"Where are we going?" I asked once we were in the car. "Out ta' eat. I'm hungry as hell & I know you are too," he said. "I haven't had much of an appetite since papa died Aug," I said. "I know. Which is why I'm takin' you to dat' Chinese buffet you love so much," he said making my mouth drop. "Chingy's buffet? We haven't been there since before I got pregnant," I said. "I know," Aug said.
