A U G U S T ..

I Was Laying In Bed Drifting In And Out Of Sleep, My Chest Was Hurting ..I Usually Don't Ever Get Chest Pains. I Had Been Put The Boys To Sleep So I Was Up By Myself. Milan Was Suppose To Call Me But She Never Did. I Texted Her Phone And Called Her Mutiple Times But Got No Answer. . . I'm Starting To Get Worried Even If She Was Asleep She Would've Heard Her Loud Ass Ringtone And Woke Up Like She Usually Does. I Called Her Phone A Few More Times Until It Actually Answered..But Some Nigga Answered Her Phone.

Hello ? . He Said Sighing ...

Who Is This ? Where Milan At ?. I Said Raising My Eyebrow

We Found This Phone At The Crime Scene Of A Shooting ... This Is Officer Brooks, Milan Was Involved In A Shooting. She's Located At California State Hospital . The Officer Said Making My Heart Beat Fast As Hell.

***

I Couldn't Even Speak, I Dropped My Phone From My Hands And Sat On The Bed ... I Put My Head In My Heads And Started Rocking Back And Forth. My Head Was Spinning And I Didn't Know What To Do. I Called Mrs. Dana And Asked Her To Watch The Kids For Me And I Would Explain Everything To Her. I Packed Them All Some Clothes For Tomorrow Morning. I Put Their Shoes On them.

"Daddy where we going?" Messiah asked.

"Shhh, go back to sleep little man"

*****

I Called Lani And Told Her Everything That Was Going On, And Stopped By My Moms House And Picked Her & My Brother Up. The Entire Ride I Didn't Speak...My Heart Heavy, & My Head Was Flooded With Worry And Hurt. I Felt A Hand On My Shoulder And I Glanced Behind Me And Saw My Brother Give Me A Small Smile And A Nod.

"Dont Worry Aug, Mimi Gon' Be A'ight" Mac Said Nodding His Head.

"...Hope So ....." I Said Sighing Deeply As We Pulled Up To The Hospital.

Everything Was Moving In Slow Motion...Everything Felt Unusual. I Approached The Counter And The Lady Looked At With A Smile.

"Can I Help You Sir ?" She Said Licking Her Lips

"I'm Looking For The Room Of Milan Taylor.." I Said With Shaky Breath

"She's In Surgery, But You Can Wait In The Waiting Room." She Said With Her Eyes On The Computer.

I Sat In A Chair And My Body Began To Shake...I Can't Imagine My Life Without Milan ! I Love Her Truly...I Need Her In My Life!!! I've Lost Too Many People That I Love And Care About!! If I Lose Milan I Don't Know What The Fuck I Would Do !!.

"She'll Be Fine .... Don't Worry Baby" My Mom Said Wrapping Her Arms Around Me.

"Momma I Can't Lose Her !" I Said Trying To Hold Back Tears.

"You Won't Lose Her Aug, God Is Gonna Take Care Of It All." She Said Rubbing My Back.

"You Said The Same Thing About Pops ...And Mel ...And Candice....And Chris !!! GOD MUST NOT LIKE MY ASS !!! ALL HE KEEPS ON DOING IS TAKING THE ONES I LOVE THE MOST AWAY FROM ME !!! YOU ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT GOD CAN DO THIS AND GOD CAN DO THAT ...BUT WHERE WAS HE WHEN THEY KILLED CANDICE..OR WHEN THAT CRACK STOPPED POPS FROM BREATHING OR WHEN THEY SHOT CHRIS'S CAR UP !!! OR WHEN THEY ROBBED MEL AND TOOK HIS FXCKING LIFE !!!!! I'M TIRED OF ALWAYS HEARING HOW AWESOME GOD SUPPOSE TO BE WHEN HE BE LETTING ALL THIS SHIT HAPPEN TO ME !!!!!" I Said As Tears Streamed Down My Face And Anger Raged Throughout My Body, A Lot Of People Was Staring At Me But I Didn't Care ...

My Mom Just Wrapped Her Arms Around Me As I Cried Into Her Shirt...I Was Hurting And I Wanted Milan To Be Okay ! I Wish My Pops, Candice, Mel, And Chris Wasn't Taken Away From Me ! ... I Just I Would Wake Up Already And This Would All Be A Dream And I Would Be Chilling With Chris, Candice, And Milan Like We Always Did ...And My Dad Would Be With My Mom.

"Family Of Milan Taylor." A Doctor Said

"Thats Us." Mac Said Making My Head Raise Up.

"She's In Very Critical Condition...She Was Shot 4 Times. Once In The Hand, Twice In The Stomach And Once In The Arm. Her Arm Should Be Just Fine, Her Hand Should Be Fine Too ...It'll Hurt Every Now And Then When She Writes Or Applies Too Much Pressure To It........But Her Stomach ...One Of The Bullets Hit A Major Artery And A Piece Of Fragment From The Other Bullet Broke Off ...We Can't Get It Out But The Rest Of The Bullet Was Removed.....We Stopped All The Bleeding But She Lost A Lot Of Blood. She's Still Alive But If We Don't Get Her A Blood Transfusion Quickly Then She May Not Make It..." The Doctor said Reading Of A Clip Board.

"Can Anybody Give Her The Blood She Needs?" I Asked Curiously

"Well Of Course, But You Have To Get Tested And Make Sure You're The Same Blood Type." The Doctor Said Nodding His head

"Can I Get The Test Done." I Asked Shrugging My Shoulders

The Doctor Smiled At Me And Nodded His Head.

"I'll Do It Too.." Mac Said Smiling.

"Me Too.." My Mom Said Holding My Hand.

"Yeah Sure ... Just Follow Me And We'll Get Started." The Doctor Said Before Walking Away Making Us Follow Him

******

After We All Got The Test Done, I Sat In The Chair Of The Room We Were In And I Was Worried ..I Hope I Was A Match...If Not Me Then I Hope Mac or Momma Was !. The Doctor Walked Back Into The Room And Sighed.

"I'm Sorry ...But None Of You Were A Match For Her Blood Type.." He Said Sighing.

I Sighed Heavily And Stared At The Floor ...I Shook My Head And Looked Over At My Mom.

"God Is Awesome Huh ? ... If He So Awesome ! Why Am I About To The Lose The Only Girl I Ever Loved, And The Only Girl Who Ever Loved Me Back..." I Said Shaking My Head.

I Walked Out The Room And Was Headed For The Hospital Exit. I Walked Out The Hospital And Decided To Go For A Walk. I Wanted To Just Break Down So Bad!! I Couldn't Take This Shit !! I Had To Think Of Someone.....Maybe Her Mom Can Do It!!! I Know Mrs. Taylor's Number By Heart. I Pulled Out My Phone And Dialed The Number Quickly....She Answered On The 2nd Ring

Hello ...

Mrs. Taylor..Hey, Its Me August ...Milan Was Shot Today And - ... I Started But she Cut Me Off

Let Her Die ! ... Nope, Neither Her or Her Brother Wanted To Listen To Me About Dealing With You Let Her Dumb Ass Face The Consequences....She Said Without A Care And Hung Up.

**

UGH FUCK !!!!!!!!! NOW WHAT AM I GONNA DO !!!. I Started Walking Back To The Hospital With My Hoodie On And My Dark Glasses On. Right Now All i Had Was Hope That Milan Would Be Okay. I Walked Inside The Hospital And Started Humming The Words To FML...Right Now That's Exactly How I Felt !. I Sat Down Next To My Mom And My Brother And Just Stared At The Floor.

"August ... How Is She ? She Alright ? " I Heard Lani Say While Sitting Next To Me

"She Needs A Blood Transfusion ...We All Got Tested So We Could Give Her Blood But None Of Us Were A Match." I Said Putting My Head Back And Sighing.

"Me And Derrick Could Get Tested To See If We A Match ... Did You Try Calling Her Mom ?" Lani Asked Putting Her Hand On My Shoulder

"Yupp ...She Said Let Her Die ... And Hung Up.." I Said Staring At The Floor.

The Doctor Came Back And Took Lani & Derrick To the Same Room He Took Us So We Could Get The Test Done. I sat With My Head In My Hands With My Thoughts Doing The Most ! . . . What If Lani Wasnt A Match ? What Derrick Wasn't A MAtch ? Oh My God !! What If Nobody Is A Match ? What If She Don't Make It ! How Imma Tell The Kids...

"STOP THINKING NEGATIVE !!!" I Heard Chris's Voice Say. MAking Me Look Around

"BOY SHE WILL BE A'IGHT .." Candice Said In My Other Ear

I Took A Deep Breath And Tried To Calm Down But For Some Reason I Just Couldn't ... Lani And Derrick Started Walking Back Out With The Doctor Behind Them .... UGH I Hope One Of Them Are A Blood Match....
