" They killed em Aug . They killed Dre man . " he said and August felt my throat get dry .

He couldn't speak . He tried to say something but the words wouldn't come out .

" W-what happened ? " August said with a horse voice.

" Ace man . Ace , h-he jus popped up outta no where . Nobody was supposed to know about this drop man . Nobody. Me and Dre made sure we had that shit locked up but they jus came outta no where . " Tre said still cryin.

Tre is a really goofy person and likes to play around a lot and although he is very sensitive it was rare you seen or heard him cry so August knew this shit was real .

" Aight man . Um some shit went down here too but me and Jamila should be there tomorrow night at the latest . " August told him paying for Jamila stuff then making his way back to her room .

" Wait , what happened ? " Tre asked .

" Nothin man you jus make sure yo moms straight . Imma hit you up later . " August said hanging up the phone .

August sat up against the wall right across from Jamila's room . He can't be dead . He just can't be dead . August kept thinking to his self .

He's known Dre since He was 14 . Him and Tre got into this life because of him . Of course August blamed his self for Andre's death . They were like brothers . Basically grew up together and now he was just gone .

" I killed em . " August said to his self before just breaking down . This was definitely a different type of hurt .

Ariana was in the bathroom while Jamila was using her phone to play iMessage games with Daniel and Jaxson since her phone was lost but she didn't really care . She needed a new one anyway .

She was wondering what was taking August so long so she got up and walked towards the door the door and as she got closer it sounded like somebody was crying . She opened the door and saw August on the floor with his head down sobbing . Jamila just felt her heart ache . She went and squatted in front of him and tried to lift his head but he kept waving her off .

" Hey , look at me . August look at me . " she said grabbing his face and making him look at her .

" Whats wrong ? " she asked him sternly.

" He dead bae . He dead . " he said breaking down again .

" Who August ? " Jamila asked .

" Andre man . He dead . A-Ace killed him ." August said through sobs .

Jamila felt so bad . All she could do was hold him as he sobbed on her shoulder. He even let out a muffled scream . Jamila felt a few tears drop from her face but wiped them away quickly . He needed her to be the strong one right now . He was wounded and needed her there to help him right now . Ariana came out and saw them . She was going to say something but Jamila shook her head no .

Ariana mouth " I'm gonna uber home . " and Jamila nodded watching her walk away .

Soon enough August was done crying but still let Jamila hold onto him . Jamila , deep down inside, always hated this street life for August . She never really said anything because she always got caught up in her own shit which was honestly no excuse . She didn't want it to break him like it broke her dad .
