Shot For Me || August Alsina

Chapter Three - Bonnie, But No Clyde

Jordan POV

We finally arrive at the house and I'm so happy to get away from August. I storm into the house and run upstairs to Honey and I's room *Side* and started scrolling through my music on my phone. I click on It Kills Me by Melanie Fiona. It's crazy how much that song relates to me and August's situation. I sing softly to myself, "And it kills me... to think how much I really love you, how much I wanna ooo oo oo" Then it hit me, all at once. I'm in love with August..

Payton POV

I walk past Jordan's room and hear her say something. Am I hearing correctly? Jordan is in love with August? I knew it! I run to Honey, who's in the kitchen. She raises an eyebrow. "Why you so happy?" "She admitted it!" Honey squeals. "She admitted that she loves August?" Heather pops up from behind a counter. "She admitted it?!" "Yes!" I squeal. We all a big happy mess. Then we all get notifications on our phones. "She posted something on Twitter and tagged us." Heather says. 

killa.xvi: see, you can only roll with a few. keep ya circle small. can't trust 'em @HeatherSanders @QueenHoneyC @TYGA @PerfectlyxPayx @King_TRELL

I look up from my phone, confused. "She usually tags August first." Honey and I run upstairs to her room. "Boo, you okay?" Honey says. "Yeah I'm straight. I wanna go to the mall." Heather walks in. "We sho' don't have no clothes cause Trell was tryna be Captain Save-Some-Bitches." I laugh and roll my eyes. Heather and Trell been dating for three years and they argue like a married couple. I grab my keys and phone and walk outside with Heather, Honey, and Jo. Ty texts me.

[Tyyyy] Aye nigga we at the mall.

[Perfectly Pay] Ight. 

Jordan POV

I walk to Payton's powder blue Porsche. I get in the front seat and Heather and Honey are in the back. Payton turns the radio on and we hear none other than the "Famous" August Alsina. "And I Ain't Judging You, Go And Get Ya Money Go And Get Ya Money, Baby I Salute"  I want to scream at the sound of his voice. "Want me to change it?" "Please." Payton changes the station and 2 On is on by Tinashe. We pull up at the mall and get out looking fly as fuck. We walk in a line that isn't meant to be intimidating but is. I pull Honey to the food court and we see Tyga, Trell, and August there. "Shit..." I say to myself. I walk up to the guys and hug everyone except August. I flash him a fake smile and walk in our only shoe store that sells heels, 'Excess', I pick out about 7 pairs and go to pay. "Your total is 920.00" The cashier looks at me like I'm not gon be able to pay it. I pull out my wallet and count up the hundreds. Shit! I only got 813 dollars left. I hear someone behind me say, "I gotchu ma." August.

Chloe POV *I said remember*

Would I be wrong if I fought Jordan? I was that fucking waitress that she told off. I just went by a different name. I'm plotting revenge on that stupid bitch. She has what's mine. 

August POV 

"August, what the fuck?" says Jordan, as we walk out the store. I roll my eyes," If your thinking your just going to walk up and pay for my shoes and get a hug or kiss or whatever your looking forward to your wrong." she said. Inside I was hurt that she didn't imbrace me in her arms all joyful and cheerful. She didn't even say thanks, I mean I didn't have to pay for that but I geuss I'm 1 step closer to her heart than before. As I was thinking I was in my own land and I didn't notice her walking towards the door, the girls were still in the mall so she had no way back to the cabin/mansion. I caught up to her, "Let me get that for you." I said reaching for the bag but she didn't let me help her out. " You have no way to get back home ma, let me take you home?" I asked. "Haha, I wouldn't get in your car if you paid me to, boy shoo." She said. Inside I was slowly boiling with anger, but  I couldn't let my anger get the best of me...again .

Jordan's POV

I can't believe he just walked up out of nowhere paying for my stuff, I mean it was generous of him to pay for my stuff but buying me stuff can't buy my heart. I don't even have the time to fool with August, and he was still walking behind me calling my name. Until I realized I didn't have a car or a ride so I stopped. "Finally, now can I give you a ride back to the cabin?" he asked. "No, I'll call a cab or something but thanks anyway." I said as I flashed him a quick fake smile. I got my phone and called a cab. "Ma, you ain't even gotta do all that." He said. "Just like you didn't have to do this." I said holding my arm and showing him the marks and scratches. I could see in his eyes the concern and the teary and sorry eyes but I didn't want to listen to what he had to say. "I've been through all of this once and I'm not going through it again." I said. "I'm so sorry, only if you would hear me out and listen to what I have to say." he said. "August you really don't have to do this right now." I said. "Please, let me take you back to the house. Please, I don't want you driving around with unknown cab drivers thats dangerous." He said. I could tell he was concern. "Whatever." I said getting up. He reached for my bags but I said I was alright but he insisted. We headed to his car the black drop -top Camaro. "Get in." he said. I had second thoughts but it was too late to turn back now.

August POV

"Maa, my past is horrible. My dad was a crack addict, he use to beat us and snatch on us. Until one day he ran away for good and never came back. My mom owed money to people, needed to pay bills and all. I wanted to help my mom out so the game was my only option. Me and my brother got in the game but unfortunantly only one of us actually made a profit off of it. When my brother died I knew this was real and the guy you went with was the one to kill him. Every now and then I get these hot flashes. I mean I guess it just this little part of me that my father has tormented and played with my whole life. I'm sorry Jordan, I love you so much. I would do anything in this world to get you back on my side. You remember Bonnie and Clyde ? Thats us , THATS US . Jordan I would go to hell and back for you and you know this. You see I'm tryna getchu out the mess we in. Your my life girl I would do anything for you." I said. I look over to see Jordan just staring at me. " I love you too August." Jordan said.. "Well," I say. "will you be my girl?"
