Friday- 10:36am- Ahmira

I dragged myself out of bed and made myself work out this morning since I didn't have my pills I kept getting mad and sad at the smallest things. I didn't want it to take over. I used the inside gym to blow steam. I was running on the treadmill for about 30 minutes. I slowed it down and grabbed my towel that was hanging on the side.

"Shit you scared me" I said holding my chest

"My fault. You wasn't in bed and I was looking for you" august said sitting down on the bench

"Yeah I had to come here to blow off steam" I said wiping my face and sitting down in front of him

"Blow off steam? You okay?" He said looking at me. I rubbed my palms together because I didn't want to tell him I was getting depressed for no reason

"I'm okay" I said looking at him. He tilted his head to the side

"I'm for real. Talk to me" he said looking up at me. I took a deep breathe and played with my fingers ugh I have to stop doing when my nerves get bad

"Um I haven't took my pills since you found that bottle and I've been feel a little sad and depressed " I said trying not to cry. I felt him standing me up and he lifted my chin

"All you have to do is tell me so I can help. Ma I'm here to help you, we in dis together. You're not alone" he said.

I nodded biting down on my lip trying not to cry. He wrapped his arms around me and I immediately broke down. I cried in his arms a bit before pulling away.

"I'm okay I promise" I said wiping my face and putting a smile on it. He looked at me confused

"I'm sorry it's the episodes. I can go from crying to smiling in less than 2 seconds" I said sniffling.

"Don't apologize. Listen tell me whenever you feel like you finna have an episode Ight" he said. I nodded and he kissed my forehead.

He wrapped his arm around me and we walked to the kitchen.

"You hungry" he asked going in the fridge. I sat down and that's when everyone started coming in the kitchen

"Not really but I know you're going to make me something anyway" I said looking at him

"I'm glad you know" he said taking some eggs out the fridge. I played on my phone until Kenzie sat next to me

"You okay?" She said looking at me. I nodded my head and she smacked her lips

"Come on I know you better than that" she said. I looked up and seen everyone talking and august cooking

"I had an episode" I said looking at her. Her eyes turned sad

"Ahmira where's your pills" she whispered in my ear.

"They're empty but I promise I'm going to get them after the trip" I said. She nodded and rubbed my back

"What's up today" Chris said drinking the orange juice from the carton

"We are going to the club six" Kenzie said. I sighed not really wanting to go anywhere. August set my plate in front of me. I smiled and thanked him

He sat next to me and I took a bite of the eggs and French toast. It was really good

"getcho nasty ass lips of the carton bruh" august told Chris. I laughed And Chris flicked august off

"I definitely wanna go to the club" tiara said sitting in Dave's lap.

"Yeah I'm down" Dave said. I just sat there eating my French toast. August leaned in my ear
