Adopted by August Alsina

Chapter 3

Kimberly POV

I wake up to a annoying beeping sound an a bright light I should be like those people in the movies when they say 'Am I in heaven'? But no, I know where I am in the damn hospital I use to come her often when I was severely injured in fights or when my friends got to caught in the game and got shot or beat to the brink of death. I sat up in the bed just looking around, it was normal hospital; clean and white, couple of waiting chairs for guest, small TV, and a private bathroom. I spotted my clothes on the table and reach over to them because this gown was getting annoying and uncomfortable. So i got up my head hurting a little not as much though, I still don't know what happen or who took me here but I know my way back to the foster home so I'll be straight walking back. As I was putting on my pants there was a knock at the door.

'Hold on'! I shouted. Finally I got my pants on and told whoever it was to come in. and in walked August, he still here not trying to me rude or nothing but he honestly took a little orphan teenager to a hospital, that's some cool shit right there.But as I was standing there all the memories came back me beating the shit out of Sadie and everything like that there. I was knocked out of thoughts when August said something.

'You okay ma'? August asked.

'Yeah but why am I here'. I asked trying to get out of here as soon as possible hospitals were here to help you but I've lost so many love-ones in them it doesn't make sense.

'Doc's said that your head got busted'. He said taking a seat in one of the chairs.

'So when can I leave'? I asked swinging my feet back and forth.

'Well they stitched you up told you to take some pills that we have to pick up at Walgreen's'. He said standing up. I hopped off the bed and put on my run-down sneakers. But still one question was going through my head 'why is August so fucking kind'? Like ain't nobody have had this much hospitality towards me since my mom was alive, it felt good. We checked out and started towards his car, haven't seen a nice one like this in a while. As I got in the car I just looked straight ahead until August started the car until I didn't feel the power start so I looked over at him to see him already looking at me.

'Yes'? I asked looking confused.

'I have something to ask you keep an open mind'. He said. He making me a little scared. I just nodded signalling him to talk. 'Okay well your a cool chick, and I like you, like a protector kinda person and I was just wondering if you would mind me adopting you'. August said looking straight in my eyes, I was lost for words. Nobody has ever asked for my opinion or my takes in situations.

'Umm yeah but are you ready to have a teenage girl in your house, are you going to show me love and affecton'? I asked him. He looked at me and said 'yes Ma I would'.

'Are you ready for my moody months on certain days'? I asked trying not to laugh, he looked so confused. Then I think it clicked, he just looked backed to the wheel but shook his head and we pulled off. We pulled up to Walgreen's and got out we headed straight to the pharmacy but August just said I can go pick out a few snacks since he didn't live close to here so it would be a long drive plus stopping back at the foster home.

I got some 3 things of Arizona Tea and a Sprite, beef jerky, and some hot popcorn. If I got hungry I'll just ask August if we can stop at a gas station or Burger King, I just started walking around waiting for him when I started heading back to August and it seem that he had just finish up. He came up to me and just started explaining when I had to take the pills and when I could stop he paid for my items and we were headed back to the hell cell. When we finally got back to the foster house I ignore the stank looks I was getting from the girl when I walked in there with August right behind me. He headed towards to Ms.Smith and I headed towards my room to start packing, it didn't take long I just stuffed stuff into my bag and grab my guitar and I was done.

Everybody was quiet they knew what was happening every other time I was leaving I would get a few 'see you later' because they knew I was coming back, but nah I ain't this time or so I hope. He might be August Alsina but he still a human and humans makes mistakes and if he fuck it up I'm coming back and I'll know that ain't no such thng as love after my mom. I headed towards the car with my bag and guitar in hand. August soon followed out smiling extra hard, and got in the car; he set a thing of papers on my lap and started up the car, and we were on our way,

'So what we gone do for my school'? I asked.

'It's up to you, you can get home schooled or I can put you in a school near-by'. He said not taking his eyes off the road.

'Well I want away to meet new people, I don't want to be one of those socially-awkward kids so I say actual school'. I said.

'Okay, I'll look into it'. August said. And he kept driving and August wasn't kidding when he said he lived far. I slowly drifted off to sleep with 'Lifestyle' playing low in the background. But As I was falling asleep I couldn't stop thinking maybe there is a such thing as love and protection.
