The Test (August Alsina)

7 am in Atlanta

Mia

I woke up to the smell of Polo Black and pancakes. I assume August is downstairs whipping up breakfast. It's been 2 weeks since we've moved to Atlanta or rather I have moved to Atlanta. August has pretty much settled in. I heard multiple voices so I did the hygiene thing, threw on my hello kitty bred 11 hoodie, black joggers and of course my bred 11s. My hair was a mess so I decided to put on a beanie, I might need to invest in some weave. I headed downstairs only to meet the eyes of Chris Brown.

Chris: 'sup, good morning

Mia: Hi, I'm mia extending my hand

Chris: pulls me into a hug We're fam no need to shake hands.

Trey: Goodmorning

Mia: umm goodmorning Trey giving him a hug assuming he wants a hug too

August: coming out the kitchen with a plate of chicken tenders and waffles with candles Goodmorning sweet lady, Happy Birthday. Make a wish.

Mia: umm thanks , blowing out the candles the food looks delicious

August: laying the plate on the island. can I talk to you for a min.

Mia: sure

August: taking her hand and pushing the doors to the kitchen. You don't seem too excited

Mia: I mean it's just another day. I really do appreciate what you've done and I would like to be excused so I can enjoy it.

August: not so fast. Why do I have this feeling that you forgot your birthday?

Mia: ........looks away

August: .... placing a finger her chin and turning her head towards him look at me...did you?

Mia: Today is March 16th... My last birthday party was when I was 5. My great grandmother also died on this date when I was 17. She was my best friend. The only person that ever loved, cared and understood me. She's gone. holding back her tears

August: I-

Mia: you don't have to say anything, can I just enjoy the food you prepared for me and let's not talk about this.

August: no Mia, you need to cry . pulling her towards his chest.

Mia: letting out a few tears

August; now you need to stop crying. I love you, I care about you,and I'm giving you time to heal. But don't shut me out because you aren't the only one who feels the way you feel. I lost my brother and I love my mother but she wasn't the mother I needed her to be. And there is a million and one people out there that don't give a fuck about me. but you know what? We eat that shit. We don't let them stop our shine. We keep it moving . We find our happiness. We continue to let that light that we were born with shine. We enjoy life and that's what you're going to do starting today. I hate seeing you cry, I hate seeing you sad, that hurts me. I'm trying to be strong for you and although I want to break down sometimes I need you to do the same thing for me. Because when the lights go out the show still goes on . We are rocking together. We....

Mia: kissing him Dr. Phil you are starting to not make any sense . I got you tho... We are going to enjoy this day . I am going to enjoy this day. Even if I am forced to do so.

August: that's my baby ... gimme kiss

Mia: kisses him can I eat now?

August: you better eat all of it too.. I actually whipped up that shit ...all of it ...
