My Right Hand

August

"Aleah move man. Get out my room." Why the hell they let her ass come back home.. "Nah now you see how this shit feels when you walk all up in my room." "Alright I get it but I'm on the phone and you making yourself comfortable and shit." "Ask if I care..." "I'm about to call Angela on yo ugly ass." She laughs, "Go ahead." She mushed me then gets up.

"What you say you needed Lorraine?" "Tend to your lil friend bye August." She hangs up in my face. "Thanks Aleah." "Your welcome." "I wasn't serious. She hung up on me." "She's just mad you broke up with her." "This shit gone be hell." "Wrap that shit up the next time." I look at her, "Ain't no next time. I'm dying a virgin." She laughs, "Nigga yo ass far from a virgin."

"I don't give a fuck I'm still dying one." "Sure August.... So guess who called me?" "Who?" "KC." "And you answered?" "I didn't recognize the number so yeah." "Did you hang up after you knew it was him?" Watch she say no. "Nah I wanted to hear him out." "Let that would've been my ass tho. I was gone be talking to yo damn voicemail for a month." "You jealous?" "Jealous of what exactly?... A nigga show you his true colors the first time you take that shit and keep it moving."

"Everyone deserves a second chance." Is she really entertaining that nigga. "Aleah you dead ass?" "Maybe." "That's dumb ass hell." "Nigga you slept with the bitch too and you thought yo ass was the damn daddy so you can't say shit. Would you want me to just write yo ass off?" "Don't compare me and that nigga." "But it's the same situation." "Whatever it's on you man. Do you." "We're supposed to be going out tonight."

"I honestly don't give a fuck." She rolls her eyes and gets up leaving out. Honesty is a bitch but I don't care. I don't understand why the hell she would put herself back in that shit. I already warned her before I'm staying out the shit this time. I don't wanna hear no whining, crying, and sobbing over that nigga. I call Lorraine back.

"Man what you said you needed?" "Some money." "For?" "To buy the shit I need." "We can go get tomorrow. I got meeting with the building manager and then I'll swing through and come get you." "Whatever that's fine." "Alright then. I'll hit you up tomorrow." "Okay." We hang up and I get up and grab my keys. "I'll be back Aleah I'm headed over to Raevyn's." I don't get a response. Oh well.

I walk up to the apartment door and knock. "You must be August." A woman says answering the door. "Yes ma'am." "It's nice to meet you." "You must be Raevyn's mama." They look just alike. "Yes I am... Come on inside." We walk inside. "Raevyn August is here... I'll be back I'm stepping into the kitchen.

Raevyn comes down the steps. You can she's pregnant ain't no hiding this. "What's good?" She hugs me. "Here's what you requested." She says handing me a paper.

I open up the envelope and look at the DNA test. Well I'll be damn, I am the father. I have mixed emotions about but it is what it is. "Alright cool." "Am I done being labeled as a hoe now?" "I never said that." To her face anyway. Maybe I thought it but she wouldn't know. "Alright August so what's up? What you gone do?" "What you mean what Ima do? We have a daughter to take care of."

She smiles, "I didn't think you would respond with such open arms." "We did what we did now we have to step up and do what we have to do." "You right. So I mean I know it's not gone be easy but I think I should down with Aleah." "I'm not against it but why?" "Clearly she's going to be around our daughter. We might as well put the petty beef aside now to avoid complications later." "It makes sense. I'll set that up." I got some other shit I need to set up too. "Alright."

I chill over Raevyn's for a while and as soon as I get in my truck to leave Lorraine calls wanting me to come over. "What's good?" "What up?" "Listen I wanted to talk about what happened at my parents house." I sit on the sofa, "I'm listening." "One thanks for not making a scene of shit like that. Two Raevyn is my cousin." "So why were you acting like you ain't know her?" "You can't get mad if I tell you." "I can't make any promises."

She starts crying, "She had this plan to get back at you for-" Its a big bang at the door. I get up and look though the peephole. What the hell are the cops doing here. I open the door, "Is Lorraine Newton home?" "Lo..." I turn around and this bitch is gone. What the hell is going on here? The officers rush in and search the apartment. I stand in the living room look dumb as hell, trying to figure out what the fuck just happened!

"Sir can you come with us downtown." "For?" "We have a few questions about Ms. Newton." Man I didn't plan on doing all this shit here. "I guess." I get into my truck and follow them downtown. Where the hell did she go that fucking fast. One minute she was sitting crying and the next she's gone.

"Sir how you know Ms. Newton?" "I'm supposedly her baby father." "She's pregnant?" "Man after all this shit I don't know what she is. She is supposed to be." After this shit here she might be a Russian spy for all I fucking know. "Did you know she escaped from a mental institution?" Oh shit! "No I didn't but it makes sense now." "What do you mean?" "She's crazy. She pops up out of no where. She always seems to find my ass that's what I mean."

"Do you know any of her whereabouts?" "I promise you 5 seconds before y'all came to the door she was sitting right next to me on the sofa. The only place I know she goes to is the moves and her parents house." "Did you meet any of the others?" I look at him. "The other what?" "Personalities." "Hell nah. Man what type of shit is this? Who the hell have I been with."

"She has this disorder known as dissociative identify disorder also known as multi personality disorder. It's five personalities. Her doctors were only able to meet two but then she escaped." I rub my hand across my face. What the hell! "Man I only knew about Lorraine. None of the others." "Okay. Here's my card please make sure to contact me if you hear from or see her. We dont know the severity of the other personalities but we do know one of them is dangerous."

I get back to house and head inside, "Aleah!" "What? Why you yelling?" "Man let you tell you about this shit here... Lorraine-" "Remember earlier when you ain't want to hear shit I had to say..." Man here she go with this petty shit. "Man listen this shit is serious." "I don't give a fu-" I stop her from talking by doing the best thing I know how to do in order to make a woman shut the hell up. Kiss her.
