Poetic POV
August got me in a corner just eyeing me down, I let that slip out of my mouth by accident..
"Who told you ??"
"No one now back u-"
"Poetic..im trying to be nice with you tonight..if you don't tell me the police will be call out here bc ima raise hell in here" he said putting his hands together to his mouth
"No bc ion want you to hurt him.."
"...kinney?"
I just look at him, thinking he was going to fuss me out or call someone to get him but all he did is signed..
"Don't tell a single soul that I own a trippin business bc if you do..ion have no choice"
"No choice for what..?"
"Just leave it at that, that's my father's business as well..im taking over both of em' "
He walks away from me and went staright to the living room..
"So you never had no money problems?" I said following him
"No always had money coming from left to right"
"How did it feel?"
He looks up at me with a confused look
"Wym ? How it feel to have money?"
"Yea"
"I mean..idk just never struggled"
"Oh..well I just asked bc I never had that growing up"
"Why? Your parents were lazy or sum"
"No..my mom was a drunk and my father wasn't really around much so basically my mom was our father"
"So how tf y'all survived?"
" we lived on disability checks that comes every month"
"Disability checks ?"
"Yea me,my mom and my brother had it"
"You don't look like or your bother look like y'all have anything wrong with ya-"
"I suffer with severe depression nd anxiety nd kinney have ADHD"
"Oh..."
"Yea but we take medications for it and I'm actually glad we lived like that"
"Why for? Y'all didn't had shit"
"Ik but there's Beauty in the struggle and ugly and the success..thats the way I've been living. The beauty in the struggle is that you see more then the successful ppl..theres more love but the successful don't see that they see that, they think money is everything"

August POV
The way poetic put those words together was amazing.. I never thought of it that way. She was right tho..my father thought money was everything and I always seen him happy when he gets it so I followed him in his foot steps..when I heard her say that I smiled, then it faded away when someone called me..I look at the caller ID and it was Toni I sighed
"Hold on poetic"
I pick up the phone
"Yea...ill be home in the morning...ion think it's nun of yo business where I'm at...ite damn ima be home"
I hung up
"You seem happy with her" she said sarcastically
"I'm not.. I just got with her just to forget"
