Unexpected Arrival 3: Resilience (The Trilogy )(August Alsina Love Story)

Blinded By Jealousy

Chanel.....,

   The dishes in the sink began to pile up and I groaned internally. Chris still wouldn't look at me and August's eyes refused to leave. My heart started beating super fast when I noticed August following right behind me.

"So yo ahh really not gonna tell ah nigga what tha fuck went on between yo ahhses?" He stuffed his hands in his front pockets and waited.

   Chitta looked up at Trell and quickly dragged him away. Mentally, I thanked her for removing herself from the situation before August dragged it, even though I wanted her around. Trell kept glancing my way to see if everything was fine, along with my brother.

"It really isn't any of your business what we speak about Aug." I sighed slamming the last pot into the dishwasher.

"How tha fuck it ain't my business Nell? Ah nigga the only one fucking you so yo ahh gon' be my business regardless." He raised his voice at me completely overtaken with jealousy.

"It's not your business at all, you're just jealous. For what reason? I don't know because I'm not in a relationship with either of you." I spat.

   August bit his lip having nothing to retaliate with. He was practically burning with rage over a situation that wasn't in the least bit serious, simply petty if you ask me. Chitta walked over to me slowly as we glared each other down and tried to take me away from the awkward situation. Just then, I heard a loud thump and hard smack down the hallway, followed by Aj's horrifying scream. My eyes widened and August zipped past me up the stairs in pursuit of his son. Of course, I followed right behind.

"Aj!?" I yelled rushing up the stairs, refusing to catch my breath.

"Babyyyyy??!" I yelled louder the closer I got to the upstairs storage closet.

   Tiarra was standing around crying and holding unto August who was trying to understand what happened. Aj was stuck under a lot of boxes and other things we kept in the storage room. My heart began to race and my head started to pound heavily. Nothing was going right today. I fell to my knees in a hurry and began rushing to take the weight off my baby. Aj's crying haunted my ears as I tried to dump everything off of him.

"C-calm down Nell, it's just his arm that's pinned down." August rested a hand on my shoulder. Unintentionally, I shrugged him off and rushed even more to removed the last two items laying on his left arm.

"Hi, mommy's baby, are you okay?" My eyes watered unexpectedly and I ripped the shirt I had on and tied it around his neck to support his broken arm.

   Chris rushed toward us as August lifted Aj up in his arms and carefully ushered him to his car. He needed to get to the emergency room right away. My anxiety began to act up as the fear of losing him the way I lost Aj stuck in my train of thought. When I started crying, I couldn't stop. My body heaved as I bent over trying to catch my breath. Chris bent down and sat against the wall. His huge hands pulled my body into his lap and he comforted me the same way he did through the past couple of years. There was no way I'd ever be able to repay him.

   Everyone left in the next hour except for Chitta and Trell. Chris was still holding my worried self gently in his arms. My body had relaxed tremendously and I wasn't crying as hard anymore. Chris's soft breathing and slow beating heart had me calmer then ever. He was even trying his hardest to stay awake with me in his lap. I immediately removed myself from his lap and apologized.

"I-it's fine, I chose to stay with you." He slowly sat up rubbing his head shyly.

"I've been holding you back, that's not okay. But thank you so much for comforting me like you always do." I bowed in front of him holding his hand close to my chest.
