August POV
It's the last day am here and I decided to spend it with everyone I even planned on going to see mel later . I woke up with Kay and I spread all over the bed I got up had a shower then woke up Kay.
August: Kay wake yo ass up lil girl.
Kay: am awake and can I get a dollar ?
August: why?
Kay: you said a bad word.
August: okay fine .
I gave Kay the dollar and went downstairs while she showered. I went to the kitchen to see everyone eating breakfast fast.
Sheila: boy come and join us fa breakfast.
Big T: ya boy come and join us . This nigga.
August: ma I'll join when Kay gets here .
Sheila: okay y'all plates in the kitchen.
August: okay. Kay came downstairs and we eat breakfast together in the kitchen while chay and Amaya got ready. The girls were all ready and we all got into Chandra and I car . We all went down town to Dave and Buster's it was the only place in new Orleans were kids could have fun .
We all went and decided to play laser tag it was fun until I felt like those damn laser colours were burning a hole through my eyes. After a day full of games and laughter we all went to get some food to eat . Kay and I decided on Popeyes while the rest went to MacDonald's . I don't know how they eat that garbage . It was coming to the end of the day and it's then I realized that I would have to go and visit Mel deep down I didn't want to go but I just felt like it was a good idea . It was time to see mel and I felt nervous as hell . Everyone went back home with Chandra while I drove to the cemetery . It took me about five minutes to get out of the car and walk up to his grave . I knelt down and let out a sigh.
August: Mel mane it's been so long since I came here. I know you must be mad at me . I don't know what to say to you . I guess I should start by saying that I found love and I like it . I remembered when you just fell in love with Chandra you said that one day my heart to will flutter when the right one comes along and my heart not only flutters it makes me feel like am having an anxiety attack and I love that feeling . I love when she smiles and all that fear I have inside just disappear . I love when she kisses me , yes I let her kiss me , and I love it so much just to fell her soft lips pressed against mine while my wondering hands shower her body with love and longing. I know you must think am crazy for saying this but I love her so much and I realized too late you know . I know am not gonna get a response but I just want to say that I love you Mel more than Trav so yeah I guess you were and still my favorite big brother. I'll see you on Thanksgiving Mel until then keep watching over Kay while I go .
I turned around to leave when I felt someone touched my shoulder I turned around to see no one .
Mel spirit: August go home to Amaya and I promise to watch over the girls and the family and also you.
I turned back around to see a dust blowing off of the grave and I felt tears fell from my eyes. I walked back to my car and I couldn't hold it anymore I broke down and cried and cried for hours until I man came up to me saying the cemetery is going to close .
Man : young man
August: umm yes sir
Man : I know it's hard to lose someone but maybe you can come back a next day we about to close up .
August: it's okay umm I leave so you can close up.
Man : it's not the end of the world son . And have a good ride back home. I turned around to see the man was gone in thin air . I made it back to mah Mama's house and went right to bed I didn't have the strength to talk to anyone.
I woke up feeling all depressed I couldn't wait to go back to Louisiana . I packed my things I carried them downstairs to the door and went to get some of mama best breakfast. I went to the kitchen and sat at the table with everyone else while mama made my plate.
August: thank you ma.
Sheila: no trouble boy when you coming back to visit?
August: for the holidays.
Sheila: okay you bringing that girl with you?
August: I don't know ma . T and I loaded the car with the luggages while my family standing waiting for their goodbye. T told my family his goodbye and went into the car.
August: so I guess this is goodbye for now?
Sheila: for now I'll see you soon okay and remember what I told you .
August: I will thanks mama.
Chandra: I'll see you soon Aug the girls and I are going to miss you.
August: am gonna miss you too Chandra. Where my girls at.
The girls: uncle Aug we going to miss you Soo much.
Chay: uncle make sure to bring a lot of gifts for Thanksgiving and Christmas .
Amaya: yeah uncle Aug alot of gifts .
August : sure anything for mah girls . Kay what you want ?
Kay : I just want you to come back . I knelt down and wrapped my girls in my arms while we cried together .
August: am gonna miss you guys so much but I'll see you guys in a matter of weeks so don't miss me too much okay.
We made it back home safe I dropped T home and I went home to loneliness. I thought about Amaya and wanted to call her but I didn't I sure as hell didn't want to interrupt something on the other hand it's a good idea but I will regret it anyway.
