Love Forbidden (August Alsina Fanfiction)

Chapter 14: In The Streets

|Mya|

It had only been a few days since August and I broke up, and I was an emotional wreck. But it wasn't just because of August's and I's situation. It was because of so many other things and stress.

Shelby had been trying to get me out the bed all week, but it wasn't working. But, this morning, I was tired of just lying in bed all day. So I just got up, and left.

There wasn't any place that I wanted to go in particular, I just wanted to go and clear my mind.

I had so much stuff on my mind, that I didn't realize how long I had been walking around.

After walking around, I found myself cold and lonely in the dark streets of New Orleans. My mind had been somewhere else for hours, and I didn't even realize that it was dark.

"Shit," I cursed to myself. I was alone in the dangerous streets of NOLA, and I was nowhere close to home.

I reached into my pocket to get my phone, only to find it cold and empty. Then, I realized that I had left my phone home because I had only planned on being out for a few minutes.

What the hell was I going to do?

My best friend was nowhere to be found. She left her phone home and I had no way of trying to find her. But I knew someone who did.

"What you want?" He answered. We absolutely hated each other, so he always answered his phone rudely whenever I called.

"I think Mya ran away." I said. I didn't know what had happened to Mya. I just hope she didn't try to kill herself or something.

"I don't care."

"August, can you stop being an ass for once?" I asked, annoyed. I know he hated me but he could at least try sometimes.

"What do you want, Shelby?"

"Find Mya."

"How am I going to find her?"

"You know her better than anyone. Can you just find her for me, please?" I begged.

He huffed. "Yeah," he said and hung up before I even got the chance to thank him.

I didn't know what else I was going to do, so I began walking towards home. If I'd keep walking all night, I should hopefully be back home by tomorrow morning. Hopefully, I would be able to make it there.

There were drug dealers and prostitutes on every corner. There were muggers and robbers walking past me, and I could do was hope that they didn't try to rob me. Luckily, they just walked past me like the didn't see me.

Unfortunately, my luck didn't last when an made who looked to be in his late forties approached me. "Hey Sugarplum." He said. Maybe he was older than I thought if he referred to me as "Sugarplum".

I didn't know how to react so I just stayed quiet and continued walking.

"Bitch, I'm talking to you!" He yelled as he grabbed my arm. The grip he had on me was impossible to get out of. I followed my instincts and kicked him in his balls and watched as he doubled over in pain.
