A thugs love story

"School start in bout a week?" Deontae asked.

"Nah, it starts in two."

"Remember what I said."

"I'll try. Things aren't exactly easy."

And I was telling the honest to god truth. School hasn't even started and I already was stressed out not knowing what I even wanted to do after my last year.

My dad health hasn't got any better which doesn't make me feel any better about anything, and On top of all that.. Deontae is still out of the state doing whatever he's doing. He hasn't told me yet but I know what it had to be

"As long as you hold it down, you can't fail ma. I'll be back soon, but you gotta make not only me proud but yo parents, especially the one who ain't here no more."

Wiping away a tear that I didn't even know fell, I just thought of my beautiful mother.

"How are you doing with that?" I asked him sense he was always worrying about my sensitive ass, I never get the chance to ask him.

"I got my days but don't we all? She ain't coming back so we shouldn't dwell, but it's definitely ok to still mourn bout it. You feel me?"

"I do. And I still have my days too when I just think about her and Madison."

"And you is so strong. We both is and only the strong survive and that's facts. Go handle yo business at school, keep takin care of Pops so he can make it
To yo graduation and I'll be home in no time. I love you."

"I love you more."

Hanging up I went to the text thread of me and aug. I hadn't really heard from him in days which was weird. Our conversations were so bland and dry, and some days we didn't converse at all. I just didn't understand.

I called and called and called until I just couldn't
Take it anymore.

I ordered a Lyft and it pulled up to my house in the matter of no time.

when I got to his house I began banging on his door. His car was outside and I knew he wasn't still sleeping.

"Whats up who are you?" Some tall light skin said when she swung Open the door.

"Where's August?" I said ignoring her question.

"He's in there sleep and I just wanna know who you are."

"I'm in dealings with August." Which was true, I never said a relationship. Just dealings.

"Dealings huh? May I ask what type of dealings?"

"Your asking a lot of questions. Who are you?" I said now getting annoyed.

"I'm that bitch! The same bitch that got his ass on lock. That's who. And you?"

"Same!" I said wanting to challenge.

"Oh really?" She smirked.

She opened the door and I walked through. She woke up August up to both of our bodies right in front of him.

"August who is this!" She spat.

"Londyn what you doin here?"

"August I've been calling and calling! What's the deal? You and her together?"

"No." "Yes!" They both answered at the same time.

"Cheyenne you kno ion foo witchu like dat and londyn why you poppin up at my crib like me and you onnat level?"
