I rolled over to my side expecting to see August but ended up surprised when I saw noone. I got off the bed, walking to the window, looking out as if he would be standing there smiling at me 'cause of the way I looked. Let's just say Beyonce's "I woke up like thissss.. FLAWLESS." doesn't work for me. I walked to my closet grabbing a pair of high-waisted, ripped shorts and a white crop top plus my bra and panties. I opened my door just to see the person that always ruins my mornings. My drunk ass mom.
"Where the hell you going?" She said as she rocked back and forth blowing her hot, Whiskey drenched breath on my skin. Every since my father died it seemed like she could never keep her legs closed or stay sober for more than a hour. I tried to walk past her but she just grabbed my shoulders, pushing my back against the wall.
"So you can't speak when spoken to? You damn kids are worthless. When you gon start making us some real money on the corner instead of that wack ass waitress job?" I rolled my eyes as she spoke.
"Ma, I'm taking Lorenzo to the park today so just have your male friend gone when we get back." I hurriedly walked past her before she could react. As soon as I got to the bathroom, I locked the door and started my shower.

(Im not doing that scene y'all know what happens, lol)
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I slipped on my black, gladiator sandals before grabbing Lorenzo's tiny hand, wrapping it in mine. We walked out of the house and down a few streets to reach our destination, The park. I watched Lorenzo run around and climb up everything before seeing August.
He didn't see me as a man in dirty, ripped clothes approached him and whispered in his ear before they shook hands. I could tell it was more than a handshake. I saw the white powder in the little bag being passed to the man and the money being passed to August.
"Zo, stay right here, okay? I will be right back, I promise." I said to Lorenzo before stomping my way over to August.
"What the fuck is up with you? Why you out here selling that shit!" I whisper-yelled to him.
"'Cause I gotta provide for my family. If I don't, who will?" I watched him count the money before slipping it into his pocket.
"You know my dad died from this shit and iont want see that happen to you. I can't lose you too, August." He looked at me but shook his head no. "August, you can sing. Your voice is amazin'! You don't have to sell drugs. Your brother always said "Let's go get self-made" so why haven't you?!"
I watched as the calm August turned into the August that everyone knew not to fuck with. "Dont tell me what my brother would want. Im outchere tryna get it 'cause don't nobody care about my fuckin' voice. My mother kicked me out multiple times and I gotta make sure my brother's daughters taken care of. Nobody knew him like I fucking knew him so don't try to tell me what my brother would want. Im done with school. Im just tryna get this money for them. This my life Mia. So why do you care?"
My mind swirled as I felt the angry he had built up come swinging at me. Everything he said caught me of guard. The built up pressure on my eyes finally released without warning, leaving a few tears plastered on my face with clear trails of where they've been.
"Why do I care? I care because you're my bestfriend. You mean the world to me but since you don't give a fuck, I don't either. You're mad cause you know I'm tellin' the truth. I know you're goin' through shit but I am too! So you wanna be left alone? Then I can do that! Just don't come to me when you need someone 'cause I'm done being ya backbone."
I swiftly turned as I wiped the tears off my face. He called my name and even tried to grab my arms a few times but I shook him off. The worst feeling ever is caring for someone who doesn't wanna be cared for. I know what he said was out of angry but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt. I just need time. Time away from my him.
