Growing up downtown (August Alsina story)

Chapter 5

August P.O.V
I was falling for Kiara hard. It's been a few weeks since I took her into my home. But I knew it wasn't safe for her to be here because some niggas after me.

I wasn't gonna put Kiara in harms way but I care about her too much. Over the last couple of months we have gotten closer. I can truly say I care for her.

She was at my house while I was at the trap house counting my money. I was 10,000$ short, who the fuck been taking my money.

I called in Kyle to see what tf was up.

"Yo Kyle who been taking my money and why am I 10,000$ short"

"Aye man, it's nick. Told you, you couldn't trust that nigga"

I didn't say nothing else, I just walked outside and see if standing outside with the rest of the guys.

"So we stealing money now" I said

"Nah man. I ain't steal shit" he said

I didn't let me him say another word. I pulled out my gun and shot him between his eyes.

"Clean this shit up" I said

I drove home and saw Kiara sitting in the living room watching Martin

"Wassup K" I said

"Hey August. I just wanted to let you know I'll be outta here within next week. I have some money in my savings account" she said

Tbh I didn't want her to leave because I was feeling her, and I was used to having her around. It was fucked up how her dad did her.

Blood ain't always thicker than water.

I walked up stairs to get ready to take my shower. And I was in the shower, I let the water run across my face and down my body.

Sometimes I be sitting and thinking why I chose to fast life. But I know this the only way I can really provide for my family.

I was planing on going back to my hometown just to visit my family and check on them but I know that wouldn't be a good idea because tension is still high.

I got out the shower and put on my gym shorts. I got in bed and rolled over to charge my phone up. I was on twitter creeping.

I was starting to think that Kiara should be my girlfriend but I don't know how to treat a girl just yet. I didn't want to fuck up and hurt her feelings.

It was now 9:00 so I closed my eyes and went to sleep thinking about Kiara.

Kiara P.O.V
August was gone for awhile, I walked into the kitchen and fixed me some pizza and a cup of water. While I was eating I was thinking about what happened between me and my dad.

Flashback
"Why you always acting like a hoe. Being fast in the ass"
He hit me in my chest and my face. I didn't know this is what a father's love felt like. Everything hurt now. I looked towards the wall hoping he would stop hitting me.

"Dumb bitch, you worthless and you'll never be shit in life. Clean yo self and go to mf bed"

I slowly walked up stairs and went into the bathroom and started to cry. Thoughts of suicide has crossed my mind plenty of times but I didn't want to tell anyone.

Maybe it was time that I really took my life.

Flashback over
I sat at the kitchen table crying. My life was hard as it is and it was making me sad. No one really knows what I go through because I don't want people in my business.

I heard the door open and it was August. He walked in and said hey. I was really starting to feel him but I didn't know how to tell him.

I would be moving out of his place real soon. I was sad that I was leaving his house but I needed my own place.

When he walked up stairs I went outside on the back porch. I sat by the pool and let my thoughts take over. Many times I be sitting and thinking about what life would be like if I stayed back in Florida.

I didn't realize I was crying until I felt a tear drop on my hand.

I quickly wiped my face and went inside to go to sleep. I haven't unpacked my bags because I'll be leaving soon. I got in bed and went to sleep.
