After doing what August's grandmother asked of me, she directed me up the stairs. As I reached the top my palms started to sweat from nervousness since this is such a sensitive situation.

I took a deep breath and gently knocked on the closed room door before me. I heard no answer so I knocked again. After waiting another minute I could actually hear music playing so I decided to see if the door was unlocked; it was. I gently pushed it open then stepped inside being sure to knock once again once I caught his attention.

He was just laying there staring at the ceiling with his beats pill near his head. Once he saw me I could tell he got emotional but tried to suppress it by clearing his throat as he came to a sitting position on the bed.

This room looks like it belonged to his brother at some point in their lives. Hence all of the posters of half naked women, sports memorabilia, pictures of Chandra and Mel when they were younger and their first kid as a baby.

August "I see you made it."

Dream "Yea, I'm here." I said softly.

I noticed his shoes were still on and his feet rested on the bed so I walked over and sat beside his feet.

Dream "Can I?" I gently placed my hands on his sneakers asking him if it was ok for me to take them off for him.

August "Gon ahead." He said. "How was ya flight?"

I slipped off both of his sneakers and placed them on the floor beside the bed. I took mine off and got in bed beside him. I sat with my back against the head board just like he did.

Dream "It was ok. How are you?"

August "Is dat a trick question?"

Dream "No I'm just worried about you."

August "Hmph, dat's funny. Neva really hurd anyone say thea worried bout me befo."

Dream "Well I am."

August "Good ta knoe dat."

Dream "Wanna talk?"

August "Nah, I'm good."
