     I slipped on a comfortable sweat pants and a big old comfy sweater. I grabbed Ava and changed her clothes before heading out. Seeing my brother would do me some good. Chris is his best friend so I can't really throw him under the bus like that. I don't think hell believe me anyway.

     Ava slept peacefully in my chest as I walked to the car. My side hurt badly and I slowly put her down in her seat. Chris watched from the window, regret in his eyes. I didn't care though. I got In the car and drove off.

     Moments later I reached Michael's house. I was so thankful he was home today He stared at me surprised before holding me into a tight hug. I whimpered silently and passed Ava on to Chyna. My nephew's jumped all on me and Cleo looked up at me smiling. She knew me though I wasn't here those two years. She stretched her arms toward me and I lifted her and swinged her around. It was a joyous moment.

    Out of nowhere my son came running. "Mommy!" A big smile was on his face and I giggled. "Hi baby." He smiled widely and held me around my now more plump butt and thicker thighs. I laughed and kissed his tiny lips.

"I missed you Mommy." He pouted and I giggled.

"Baby you saw me every summer." He bit his lip and looked up at me laughing. I couldn't help but kiss all over his face. He started to look like August more and more every day. Then August walked out.

"Cam where you at budd-" He stopped when he saw me and Can hugging each other tightly. His eyes went wide and August slowly backed up. Ever since I left I heard he changed. That he built walls around everyone, even his mama. I heard he hasn't been with a girl since me and hasn't even had sex. It really did surprise that August went numb for two whole years.

    I saw a bunch of emotion fill his eyes and he shook his head quickly and walked out. I never felt so much guilt in my life. I kissed Cam's cheek and walked in search of August.

     He sat on the bean bag in Michael's room questioning him annoyed.

"No one told me she'd be back. What the fuck is this?"

My brother laughed at him. "Nigga you know you happy. Fuck you questioning me for?" I watched for a minute and walked in. I acted as if j didn't see August and jumped on Michael.

"Mikey!" I jumped on him and he yelled half scared to death. It was always funny scaring Michael. He sighed deeply glaring at me annoyed.

"You're lucky ya last name is Stevenson." I laughed and hugged him tightly before sighing.

"What's wrong?" We both forgot August was sitting in the room and he just stared at the floor awkwardly.

"Ooooh Shit Nell. You and Aug need to talk right quick. Don't come outchea til y'all talked it out. Real talk." He ruffled my hair and pounded August. I glared at him as he purposely locked the door.

    I sat myself across the chair Michael was just in. August said nothing and kept his gaze on the floor.

"Well.....?" He looked up at me.

"Well what?" He asked with a slight annoyance radiating off of him.

"How've you been?" I shrugged and stared him in the eyes. August quickly looked away. He used to love it when I stared into his eyes. I looked at him confused.

"Aug-" I started but he cut me off.

"I'm fine." His harsh tone aggravated me.

"I'm just trying to be cook with you dammit. Will you just lighten the fuck up?"

August chuckled at me and finally he was the one to stare me down. It made me uncomfortable.

"Lighten up huh?.....When I fell in love with you. Had a baby by you, Then somehow lost you to my best friend and all of a sudden you guys have a baby. Lighten up?"

     He smirked tiredly. I finally saw the stress, anger, pain, and all the mixed up emotions. "Nahh...." He shook his head.

"How about this Chanel....Brown." He laughed again and leaned towards me.

"You lighten the fuck up. I'd like to have a fucking break if it, I don't know occurred to you? I was doing better slowly and when I finally start to get better for real you come back."

I saw August eyes turn red along with his face. He looked as if he was about to cry and then a whole lot of tears fell down his face

"Damn Chanel. Can a Nigga just get a break. I been through to much for ya shit man." He wiped his tears and I felt the guilt weigh down on me. His voice kept on cracking and you could tell he hasn't cried in forever.

"August... " He shook his head.

"The only thing we'll ever talk about is Cameron okay? Don't talk to me unless it's about him. Same shit for Chris. He already knows that shit." I shook my Head.

"August please?" He quickly stood up and took a deep breathe.

I could see the frustration, stress, and everything in his face. I wanted to cry so badly. He walked into the bathroom and came out with a clean, normal emotionless, fake smile.

"Get up. Tell ya brother we're done here." He cleared his throat and I stared at August.

   I knocked on the door with my eyes glued to his emotionless face. I really did change him. Michael opened the door with a big ass smile believing we made up.

"Y'all finally cool?" I nodded with the fakest smile and stared at August. He had on one of the most dazzling fake smiles.

    He was hurting in reality but in order to be okay he needed me away. His smile faded as soon as he turned to walk away. I couldn't help but look and realize I caused that.
