-Bang Bang Bang-
I answered the door, just as I expected , August stood in front of me, his bottom lip in his mouth, it only told me he was getting his head straight.
"You called me?"
I walked away from the door letting him walk in "You still mad?" He shuts the door behind himself, I shook my head. "Yeah you is... I was wrong vea.. flat out I was wrong and I was thinking about myself .. I'm fuckin up" He chuckled at himself. I sat on the couch just to watch him talk
"I'm fuckin' up. I ain't even heard from Modei and Chris and I know you prolly finna tell me they ain't on my shit and I get it. you called me ova here to tell me how much of a dumb ass I am and you right --"
"I'm pregnant"
He stopped and looked at me in the middle of his sentence "What?" He questioned
I reached in my sweat shirt pocket and pulled out the positive pregnancy test, I slid it over to him. He just starred at me in disbelief, "What chu say?" "You heard me—" "How long you been keeping this from me ?"
I was surprised he didn't sound that mad, but he still had me shaking by the bass in his voice "does anybody know ?" "No" I shook my head "I just found out, I didn't have time to tell anybody, Modesty isn't answering the phone"
He just nodded pacing around the room, I watched his every move carefully for any sign of anger. I waited for him to yell at me. Eventually I just had to make sure "So ... are you mad?" He turned to me , he shook his head "No.. why would I be mad?"
"Because I didn't —" "I know now don't I ? I ain't goin' nowhere .. I ain't fall in love witchu just to leave you , what kind of nigga u take me for ?" He side eyed me with a small grin.
I smiled back "you just a mean ass nigga .." He walked over to the couch and grabbed my hands for me to get up "I ain't mean to you so chill on me "
He wraps his arms around my waist and looked me in my eye "so you carrying my son ?" He bites his lip. I giggled "what if it's a girl ?" I say
He ran his tongue over his lips. He shrugged " well I hope she as gorgeous as you "
- - - Modesty 1pm
Sitting in the front row of Nicky's funeral, it reminded me of my Dads funeral. Everyone was screaming and crying for an answer as to why it happened. While this happened Nicky's body looked so peaceful. They dressed him in red, his hair still clean cut, the bruises on his face covered from when he hit the ground that night. We all sat in the front , me , Donte , August, Navea and Chris. I had never seen August break down like that. It was a first for all of us to see that nigga cry. Me, Donte , and Aug along with some of Nicky's cousins carried Nicky to the hearse in his gold colored casket. When they shut the door to the back we proceeded to walk to our cars to follow to the grave sight.
When we got there we prayed over him before leaving him to be lowered in the ground , it then hit me our nigga was gone and he wasn't coming back. I wasn't gonna see him at school no more , no more corny ass jokes. No more.
Chris stood to the side as we hugged the family . "Thank you so much for being here it means a lot to me and Nicholas woulda wanted y'all here... it woulda meant the world to em "
"No problem momma .. you know that was our brother" Donte sighed "Don't I know ... and I thank you for being by my sons side .. I cant thank you enough " She hugged us all once again before getting into the limo . I turned around to Chris who had disappeared somewhere. I was confused and then snapped out of it as I got a tap on th shoulder, it was August. "Wassuh lil mama" He said like old times . I folded my arms. "Wassup?" I greeted back.
"I came ova hea to apologize and shit , I was trippin , you ain't deserve that shit ..you like my sister I'm just tryna protect yo ass so ion gotta find you dead somewhere and kill a nigga.." I chucked "you crazy"
"I am , over people I love I am. You'on think I wasn't scared to die over you ? .. I go through hell and back for yo hardheaded ass and you know that shit --" "I do"
"Aight then.. we cool or what ?" August asked holding out his arms. I smacked my lips " I can't stand yo ass" I go in for the hug hearing his chuckle "You ain't finna be my baby god mom acting like that"
I stopped for a second and looked up at him having a small smile. "Vea?"
He nodded causing me to scream something terrible "Oh my god AUG!!' I punched his arm "Damn I ain't done shit!"
"Ay baby .. I'ma go wait in the car okay?" I was distracted by Chris coming over , He was going to walk away when he realized who I was talking to , he stood there. They both stared at each other like they just weren't sitting beside each other at the funeral.
I had expected for Chris to say something, instead Aug got the first words
Christopher 1:20pm
"How you been man?" August asked me.
My throat became dry, I haven't said a word to my cousin in weeks. I was surprised he actually was talking to me.
".. I been aight--" "nah nah forreal.. talk to me forreal"
I thought to myself for a while figuring out where to start first, I looked up at Modesty and she nodded. "Yall go ahead and talk". She walks away leaving e face to face with August. I licked my lips trying to find the words to start.
"That ain't what I been hearin.. " He mumbled. I place my hands in my pockets looking down. "I know shit been crazy since Antie and Nicky died , and believe me I've been tryin to handle the changes too bro"
I shook my head ".. I just.. I'm just tryna get through this shit I've been feelin. I--I"
"You know I'm here fa you.. You talkin to the nigga who used to shit in diapers with you.. We played together, we lived together... I been there through yo worst shit.. and lord knows you seen me go through hell .." he chuckled. He shook his head slowly stopped his laughter "I did some fucked up shit in my life.. the worse was allowing myself to fuck up my relationship witchu.. you like my best friend... you stuck around when the family hated me, when nobody fucked with me besides you and Anite and I got mad respect for that"
For a cousin ,August was more my brother than I never had. I never fell short of a partner in crime. There were times he'd be on vacation with his dad and I didn't know what I'd do without him all summer.
He held out his hand for me to dap him up "We coo?" He asked. I smiled a little dapping him up, it turned into a brotherly hug before my eyes. I laughed "You one sappy nigga"
"Its been a sappy few days for a nigga forreal... Almost dying changes a nigga you know" He jokes I laugh punching his chest "Shut up bro"
