"For the last time it's not funny Jonica", I mumbled cutting my eyes at her as her and Mia sat in my office. "Please tell it again this is hilarious", she continue to laugh as Mia began to snicker. "You're being very irritating at the moment", I huffed rolling my eyes wishing they'll shut up about it. "Well excuse me don't get snappy because you had a bad date", Jonica mumbled folding her arms.

Kissing my teeth I couldn't help but to think back on last night. That was thee worst date ever, not only did he talk about himself for the past hour but then as soon as we stepped out of the restaurant a pregnant woman was waiting with two kids and pepper spray. Make a long story short I spent the night in the hospital.

"We sorry Mo for real it's just so shocking that all of that went down", Mia apologized as I rolled my eyes. "Yeah whatever I don't want to talk about it no more", I sighed sipping from my cute plastic Starbucks cup.

"Look I'm sure my patients should be coming in at any moment get out", I dismissed them standing up heading towards the door opening it up for them. "Rude ass", Mia mumbled grabbing Jonica's hand as they walked out. Shutting the door behind them I quickly attended to my buzzing phone, seeing that I had two text messages I opened them to see one from August and one from Brandon.

Rolling my eyes a bit I shook my head reading August Message.

Placing my phone on the desk I was kind of surprised that he's coming to talk to me taking that I haven't seen him in a couple of days. Grabbing the notepad specifically for him I placed it all on the desk putting my glasses on, a knock on my door caused me to jump a bit. Getting up smoothing out my dress I made my way to the door opening up to see a stressed looking August standing there.

"Hey", I greeted as he gave me a small smile before nodding. "Wassam", he says accent coming out strong. I couldn't help but admire him he's definitely something worth looking at. Shaking my head a bit as I closed the door I could never get involved with a patient that's going too far.

"So what's on your mind August?", I questioned sitting across from him watching him slouch down in his seat. "Everything I feel like I'm walkin' with tha' world on my shoulders, my brother has been weighing heavily on my mind fa the past few days and every time I think of him I hate myself even mo cause it's my fault he ain't here", his voice cracked as he sniffed throwing his head down.

"Why would it be your fault August what happened?", looking over at him I couldn't help but feel sorry as tears fell from his face. "I was being reckless, talkin' tuff ta the wrong niggas they beat my ass and he came ta my rescue but they shot him. They fucking killed my brother cause I couldn't keep my mouth shut! I-It's my fault man", he cried burying his head into his hands.

As a natural reflex I sat next to him pulling him into a hug letting his tears soak my dress. "It's not your fault August", I started to say as I rubbed his back. "He was doing what any other sibling would do and that's protecting his brother, you can't beat yourself up about this you didn't know the guys would kill him he wouldn't want you to be beating yourself up August", I explained trying to hush his cries.

"I can't not beat myself up I should of stayed home I'm da reason my nieces don't have a father", he sniffed releasing himself from my hold looking away. "August you're not though those guys are do you understand I could be beating myself up about my sister's death. August it kills me inside because before she got killed her and I had a heated argument because I told her that her boyfriend was no good and she thought that I was jealous of her.

I-I told her don't come running to me when he mess up and now look she's gone, I beat myself up for years because by me telling her that I felt as of when she got shot she didn't want to call me because I probably wouldn't answer, I didn't even get to tell her I love her she was my other half", I wiped my face trying not to break down.

I hate bringing up the past because I feel like I'm going to self destruct if I keep on. I know August's pain I know exactly what he's going through and it hurts.

"You're very good at hiding ya emotions", he mumbled breaking the silence. "I'm not hiding them I let the past go instead of beating myself up I began to write to her letting her know how sorry I am, she forgave me August I know she did and I'm positive that your brother doesn't blame you and you shouldn't blame yourself either", I grabbed his hand looking up at his slightly red eyes.

"I'a try it's gone be hard ta do", he says sighing out. "Once you convince yourself that it's not your fault it'll be easier and as for your nieces be the best uncle you can be to them just as well as your baby girl", he nodded smiling at me.

"Thanks I know I've giving you a hard time but I'm actually glad I've talked ta you, believe it or not you've actually lifted my spirits. Knowing that we've been through somewhat the same situation and you can help me get better makes me feel good inside", he says making me smile a bit.

"It's my job now maybe you'll come around more and stop being so mean", I laughed causing him to join in. "It's gone be hard but I'a give it a try", he chuckled licking over his lips. He stared at me a bit making me blush before clearing my throat.

"U-Um is there anything else you need to talk about", I stumbled over my words feeling intimidated by his stare. "I'm making ya nervous Monah?", he teased turning my face so that it was facing him again. "No", I mumbled causing him to chuckle.

"If ya say so, but I got ta get goin' I already paid in advance so just text me when I can come back in thanks", I nodded walking him towards the door opening it up for him. "No problem August I'll be sure to let you know when the next session is", he nodded walking out.

Closing the door I sighed out a bit. I'm just happy he's coming around now, I just have to keep it this strictly business though nothing more.
