I rolled over and grabbed my cane from by the nightstand.
August came in and took it from me and took both of my hands, making sure both of my feet were placed flat on the floor.
"You okay baybeh?"
"Yeah i'm fine."
He kissed my forehead before pulling me up.
"Come on, let's walk."
He stood in front of me as I slowly made my way to the bathroom. When Nyja shot me, the bullet hit my spinal cord causing temporary paralysis. I've been learning how to walk again for a year and i'm almost back to my regular state.
Today was my last therapy session. The day I would FULLY be walking without my cane and without August, I was scared but I was ready.
"You doin' great baybeh. Think you can still stand by yourself?"
I looked at him before nodding slowly.
He let go and stepped back at least 3 feet away from me.
"Na' walk to me."
I sighed before raising my foot to move. I was a little shaken by but I was making it. After a minute I made it to august and couldn't have been more happier.
We both laughed and he kissed all over me. "I'm so proud of you ma. Now go get dat ass inna shower."
I laughed before letting him go and slowly walking to the toilet to sit down and getting undressed.
August helped me into the tub and I sat down relaxing.
Yes, August has seen me naked being that I couldn't do anything for myself and I didn't have anyone else to care for me.
After I told my mom everything that happened between Nyja and I , she stopped talking to me and moved out of Atlanta.. I had no idea where she was at now and honestly I didn't care. It was what it was.
I got out the tub sooner or later and got dressed.

"Where you goin' in that?"
"To therapy."
August gave me that bitch stop playing with me look and I smiled.
"Come on hea' mane." I laughed and he picked me up walking me downstairs. Once I got to the bottom he interlocked our hands before letting me go so I could walk out the door on my own.
I thank god everyday for sending me a boyfriend like August because he's been here every step of the way and has helped me in any way that he could and I loved him for that.
I stumbled a bit but I caught myself and began to walk again while August watched me closely. He went and opened my door for me.
"You want me to put you in or you want to try it ya' self?"
