Nobody Knows (August Alsina Story)

Bruins

I'm on my way to the airport to pick up LJ. He moves into his dorm next week. This is his last airplane trip for a while. He will officially have everything with him this time. The only thing we have to wait for is his car to reach LA. We ordered his car to be shipped over here. LJ has been living with me for about a month in and out because he had football practice and in the process of moving.

I popped the trunk so we can put his luggage in there.

"Sup LJ!"
"Hi Lei!"
We did this extra'd out handshake like Birdman did with Young Thug at the BET Hip Hop Awards.
"We are extra!" we both laughed
"Forreal.... Aye! I'm happy that I'm officially moved out here. I was tired of this back and forth.
"I bet! It's tiring."

I drove off towards the freeway.
"We are going to IKEA to pick up some stuff you need for your dorm."

"I didn't get my financial aid yet. I get it next week." I gave him a sus face
-_-

"I got you! Da fuck."
He laughed.
"Your ugly!"
"Ya know! I always knew you needed glasses."
"ALRIGHT!"

We reached IKEA. I got a cart and we went straight to the housing section.

"I need this!"

"WTF! You need a hula hoop for ?"
"So I can see the bitches throw that ass in a circle." He starts crackin up.

"Your lame af!" he was in tears.

"Whew! That was funny!"

"What color bean bag you want ?!"

"Uhhhh, Green! for the UCLA Bruins!" he starts flexin.

"NAAAH! Red! for USC Trojans."

"Yo school WEAK!"

"SURRREE! But we stay whoopin Bruin ass during football season."

"Yeaaaah but then a nigga like me joined the team."
I just stared at him and walked away.

"Aye! Wassup with you & August ?"

"We are goooood! I talked to him this morning and we text throughout the day."

"That's wassup! Y'all talk everyday?"

"Yeaaah, we text, call, and FT. He is very consistent which is something I didn't expect. I knew he would be busy and maybe some days he would talk like once or twice but it's not like that." I smiled.

"That's craaazy! You staaaay listenin to this nigga music and now you talkin to the nigga."

"I know! I didn't expect this at all."

I haven't seen August in a little over a month, since the concert but we talk everyday. I think the distance keeps our friendship strong. He comes back to LA in November and I can't wait.

"Ok, your total will be 223.47 and we will deliver the dresser to your dorm on Saturday." the IKEA worker said.

"Thank you!" as I handed her the money. As I pushed the cart to the car my phone started to ring.

"I got the cart. Get your phone."
"Thanks!"

I looked at the caller ID and smiled.

Leiya: Hi Handsome 😁
Yungin : Ooo! Sup Beautiful
I was smiling from ear to ear. My brother looked at me funny.

Leiya: What you doin ?
Yungin : At the hotel right now getting ready for tonight's show. I had a little time to call and check in.
Leiya: Thank you! I appreciate that.
I closed the car door.
Yungin : Where you at ?
Leiya: I'm leaving IKEA with LJ
Yungin: Oh alright. Well, I'll hit you up after the show. Enjoy the rest of your day
Leiya: Thank you! Good Luck & Turn up!
He laughed
Yungin: Ha thanks!
