When I walked into my house I had a whole attitude. I used to feel bad for Kentrell & for me cheating on him, but now I just don't care anymore. He can see Kyrie all he wants but he not finna talk to me crazy.
I put Kyrie downstairs & let him play while i cooked dinner. Today was just going to be a chill day for me. I noticed August wasn't here but it didn't bother me.
I was making chicken alfredo with broccoli.
Moments after I got finished August walked in the door with bloodshot red eyes. He must of been smoking.
"Hey baby.." I say slyly while getting no response. He walks straight into the kitchen and tears that food up. But I knew something was wrong. August wasn't a big smoker. He only smoked when something was bothering him.
I went into the kitchen with kyrie in my arms and rubbed his back while he ate.
"You good Aug?" I ask while sitting down next to him. Still no response. Kyrie started whining so I brought him upstairs to lay him down since it was kind of late.
I walked back downstairs & there was no August. Just a dirty plate on the table.
"What is wrong with him?" I thought to myself.
It wasn't like him to do this so I called him. Four rings later the phone answers.
"Hello?" A stern female voice answers.
"Um, where's August?" I say sounding a bit rude. Why the hell some bitch got his phone for? Every possible wrong thing was going through my mind right now.
"Awww is this Kaleah? August tells me so much about you... Oh i'm sorry this is Sheila, August's mother." She says.
"Ohh. Hey Miss. Sheila. I was just calling because I haven't heard from August." I say.
"Oh you haven't heard..." She says sounding like she was about to cry.
"Heard what?" I say confused.
"Melvin was shot & killed this morning." She says sniffling and struggling to get those words out.
Melvin was August's older brother that he loved dearly. He always looked up to him. Even though I never had the change to meet him, I know how much he adored him.
"Oh my god. How's August? How are you? Are you guys okay? Should i just give him time alone? I dont know what to do-" I say before I was cut off.
"I think you should just let him come to you. Give him time to process everything." She says.
"Okay, please tell him I called & im here if he needs anything." I say sounding dumb because i know that wasn't the right thing to say.
"Alright honey, it was nice speaking to you. Goodbye now." She says with her soft voice.
I walk upstairs and hop in the shower with so many thoughts going through my head. Why wouldn't august feel comfortable talking to me about this?
I throw on some gray shorts and a sports bra and lay down and slowly drift off to sleep.
_____
It was 3 in the morning and I was woken up by a loud door slam coming from downstairs. I quickly run in Kyries room to make sure he's okay. I head downstairs to see what was going on in my house at 3 am.
I see August pacing back and fourth.
He immediately comes up to me giving me a hug, burying his head in my chest sobbing.
"I don't know what to do ma, that was my blood. They killed my brother yo." He says sobbing into my chest. I was speechless. I never experienced death. I didn't know what to say.
"I know baby. I'm so sorry. Let's go lay down and talk about it." I say trying to make him feel better even though it didn't work. We walked upstairs and i could tell he was sober now. He looked better but still looked heart broken.
"That was my bestfriend. Now he's gone." He says looking at the wall while laying on the bed beside me letting out all his tears. Seeing him cry was going to make me cry because August wasn't the type of guy to cry in front of his girl. He showed his emotions but not like this.
"I know August. Everybody has a time and his was sooner than expected and that sucks, I know. But we have to look past this. You gotta be strong for your mom." I say. I wasn't really good with speeches like this. I just didn't want him to feel the way he did.
Soon we both drifted off to sleep.
