It had way more meaning "i'ma leave y'all two alone my mama said walking out the back door with the soda....sorry for snappin on u like that yesterday I said putting my face in the crook of her neck " its ok Aug....I understand completely" she said reaching up playing in my hair " I know you, you gotta let it out some way and I'm gonna be there every step of the way even if I'm the one you dishing it to Mel was my brother too"
London POV
I meant every word I just said to August I know how hurt he is right now its almost as if I can feel his pain physically I never knew it was possible to be that close to someone he stood behind me and put his face in the crook of my neck talking into my skin while I played in his curls...we stood that way for the next five minutes and I honestly missed this feeling....I missed my bestfriend
***********************************
"You love him don't you" huh....I said as mama Shelia stood there she caught me starring at Aug he was trying his best to be strong but I know he wanted to break "I said...you love him don't you" of course he's my best friend...she gave me the girl please face "OK best friend....just know that ya best friend need you right now and that snake he been hanging with gonna use every opportunity given to take yo place" I couldn't do shit but sit there and listen I knew she was right I loved August more than just a friend I was in love with him....I was just to scared to admit it

He smirked slightly "go get dress" and with that said I grabbed my things walked into his room and changed into my oversized night shirt I walked outta the room to see August now sitting on the couch smoking a blunt "come here LiLi" he said taking another pull before putting the blunt out...I walked closer to him and he grabbed my hand and pulled me between his legs starting up at me I reached down and rubbed my hands through his curls
