Save Me

"Where are you taking me August"

I asked as I looked out the window. We were now on the opposite side of town and the sun was starting to set. I was getting kind of scared.

He side eyed me as he drove with one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding a blunt.

"Imma take yah ta my step sista house" he said driving down a side street with some nice houses. I recognized where I was. A lot of well paid people lived over here.

"Am I gonna stay there" I asked..

"Yeah, I guess" he shrugged. I frowned, what if she didn't want me to, then I'd really be assed out.

"Are you sure she'll let me I mean, I am..."

"You ask a lot of questions ya know that right"
I shut my mouth and didn't say anything else the rest of the ten minutes it took us to get there.

"You gone stay in the car'a ya comin " I rolled my eyes and got out the car following up the path to the nice sized house. Before he could knock the door swung open revealing a pretty brown skinned woman. She smiled widely and pulled August into a hug.

"Auguuuust baby brother!! " she yelled. He laughed and lifted her up into a hug.
I smiled at their little moment. 
Once he let go of her she looked at me with raised eyebrows. 

"This your girl Auggy she so pretty " she said touching my hair. I laughed and shook my head no.

"Umm.. I'm not his.. his girlfriend " I said quietly.

"Look lemme talk tah you fah a second Mon" he said pulling ha to the side. I just stood there looking awkward as hell.

After they talked for a little while they came back and she smiled at me.

"Well looks like we gone  have a roommate " she laughed.

"You're letting me stay here?" I asked. She nodded and chuckled.

"Of course, I could never turn down a person who needs help" she said. I almost cried as I pulled her into a hug.

"Thank you so much" I said still hugging her. She laughed and hugged me back.

She really was a blessing, her and August. Not many people would do what they are doing for me. Some wouldn't even do it for family so just think about a complete stranger. I was getting so emotional, because if it weren't for them I would be sleeping outside, trying to think of where my next meal would come from and still trying to hide from Devin, but I'm here, I honestly think God sent them my way.

"You're welcome sweety nah c'mon in hea' Aug gone get cha bags"

"Don't be volunteerin' a nigga ta do extra work " he smacked his lips and looked down at his phone while twisting his hair.

I rolled my eyes and looked at his sister.

"I'll get them.."

"Oh I'm sorry, I'm Monica" she said slightly chuckling.

I smiled and looked down, I liked her she gave off such a good vibe and she reminded me so much of my mom.

"Justine." I smiled at her.

"K well Justine let's go get your stuff since his crimson chin head ass being lazy" she said smacking his head as we walked towards the car.

"C'mon mane dat' shit hurt" he said. She shrugged and kept walking. 

Lord these two...

August.

"Momma told me you still been messin roun' with Tiana"

"Naa not no mo', she a thot" I said sitting at the counter, I was waiting fa Justine so we ca' go get the rest of ha shit.
my sista' started laughing as she got up and checked on ha food.

"And you just findin this out Aug, momma been told you bout that lil girl" she said trying to lecture me. I wa'nt 'eem trinna hear that shit tho, ion need nobody tellin me I tol' ya so. I fucked up, let me realize that shit fah myself.

"Ion really care tho Mon, its ova nah ain't like she ain't have ya fuck  ups eitha' ...like mother like son" I rolled my eyes.

I sighed and got up so I can go in my la cousin room and call my other bitch.

"August come here" she said grabbing my arm. I took a deep breath and turned back around. 

"Wassup Monica "

"Stop allat boy das ya momma" I waved ha off cause it was easy fa ha to say she ain't the one had to deal with ha ol crazy ass ha whole life.

"But anywayyys You aint really tell me bout ha" she said motioning towards the back room where Justine was.

I shrugged and licked my lips.

"ion know ha full story and it ain't mine ta tell anyway , but I know she been thru a lot'a shit, she been fucked ova, she prolly got trust issues and a lot mo' baggage then yah average female but I ca tell she'a strong person cause not errbody ca walk roun' hea with a smile on they faces knowing the devil been running thru the six with they souls"

"You so petty Dude" Monica laughed while pushing my shoulder. I chuckled and stroked my goatee.

"Nahh but fa'real tho sis, look out fah ha.. fah yo Luh brudda, she ain't got nobody else and you got that hol motha'ly vibe goin on so she gone feel welcomed that's why I brought ha hea', you good with this type'a shit ... " I was being honest too.

'em tho i'aint know the girl like talm' bout it, I knew she wa'nt the type who deserved ta be fucked ova and I wa'nt gone let that happen no mo'.

Monica was smiling from ear to ear looking like a fucking predator.

    "Why you lookin at me like that,  that shit creepy" I said mushing ha face. She bat my hand and laughed.

"Be honest with me Aug"

"Always sis" I said pulling up my pants so I ca sit back down.

"You like ha huh "  I  side eyed ha.

"Negative " I shook my head with a smirk.

She started laughing loud as fuck.

"Oh yeah I forgot, you only like them ratchets. "

"I mean I do got a thing fa them so I ain't eem gone deny that. Them hoes know how ta put that ratchet mouth ta good use!! Know what I'm sayin! " I Said with a loud laugh.

"negative my guy, you so disgusting"  she shook ha head and waved me off.

Speakin of, my la bitch was texting me right nah..

"Fa real tho Aug, you might not like ha but I know fa damn sure you care bout that girl" she said. And maybe she was right, but shit ain't nobody needed ta know allat. 

"How ya figure I care bout ha, ion eem know ha like that.. I was just doing the right thing.. laaawd you and momma always with that" I said laughin.  They stay trinna make a nigga settle down and shit, I'm just a young nigga comin thru. Ion need no female dick riding me all day.

Unless we talkin literal.

"August you ain't got ta know somebody fa months or years to start carin bout them, hell you can just meet somebody and have one conversation and boom! You care.

Its not about how much time you've spent with them, it's about what's in you and what kind of vibes they give off,  it could be that you're a carin' person but it could also because you see them in your future. "
