I got up feeling really exhausted. I did not get any sleep last night. I was thinking about August. I know this may sound crazy as hell but I think August may have feelings for me. When he didn't try to pick up the towel yesterday that gave it away. Like come on! I'm almost your step daughter dude. But I didn't turn away either, so i'm at fault too. Anyways I got out of bed ready to go to school. I hopped in the shower for 20 min washing away all the dirty sins going through my head. I got out and did my hygiene thing. I picked out some ripped jeans and a crop top under my baseball jersey with my high top white converses. I added some studs and did my hair in two buns. I went downstairs to find August siting on the couch watching tv.

"Goodmorning" I said
"Goodmornin" he said smiling at me
"You look nice" he said making me blush
Why does he do that to me?
"Thanks"
I went outside and got in my car ready to pull off, but my car wouldn't start. That just messed up my morning.
"You need a ride to school" August asked scaring me
"Yes" I answered
We got into his car and pulled off.
"So what school you go to" he asked
"Eastside High"
10 min later
"You need a ride back from school"
"Yes and thanks for the ride"
" No problem" he said that so sexy
"Well bye, see you later" I said getting out the car
"Bye"
I walked in school happy as shit. I went to my locker to get my books for class. When I closed my locker I saw my ex coming toward me. He better not start shit.
"Mercedes" he said
"What you want Chresanto"
"Who were you in the car with this morning" he asked me sternly
"Why you worried, you not my boyfriend"
"Say something else smart, I will smack you"
One of the reasons why I broke up with him, he is abusive.
"Like I fucking said you not my damn boyfriend, so why you worried" then he slapped me in my face.
I wasn't shock at all, but I ain't no pussy bitch so I fought fight back. I punched him in his face. Then he pushed me into the locker making me hit my head. Where were the teacher when you need them?
"I told yo ass to stop getting smart" he said then walked off like nothing happend.
I walked out of school ready to go home, but I forgot my car is messed up.I just took the next city bus.
10 mins laters
I got off the bus and walked in the house. I went to the freezer and got a pack of frozen brussel sprouts. Then went to my room and shut the door. I started crying thinking about my life.
August P.O.V
I heard somebody come in the house, so I got my glock and searched the house. Then, I heard sobbing coming from Mercedes room.
"Mercedes" I called but no answer
I walked in the her room and saw her crying on her bed, holding a bag of frozen veggies on her eye.
"Who hit you Cedes" I asked her getting mad by the second
"Nobody" she said crying harder
"Who hit you" I asked her again getting angrier
She ignored me again.
"I am going to ask you one last time. Who. Hit. You" I said getting angrier because she wasn't telling me
"My ex" she said
"What is his name" I asked
"Chres-santo" she said studdering
"I'll be back" I said leaving
"Where you going" she said following me to my car
I ignored her question and got into the car ready to pull off until she got in.
I drove to her school in less than 5 mins. I got out the car slamming the door and sped walked in the school.
"Where is Chresanto" I yelled so the whole hall could hear me
"Right here" the boy I'm guessing Chresanto said. He real bold.
"You think it's cool to hit females nigga" I said walking toward him
"Oh, you the nigga she was in the car with this morning" Chresanto said laughing with his group of friends
I went to him and started punching him in the face. I ain't gon stop till I see blood. By that time I dropped him and started punching him more.
"Don't hit her no more" I said getting off of him
"Now who got the last laugh pussy" I said laughing at him
"O-M-GOD, THAT IS AUGUST AL-SA-LINA" a ratchet girl yelled out
They started chasing me so I ran and got in the car and pulled off.
"What happened" she said looking worried
"I beat his ass what you mean" I said bluntly
"Thanks for sticking up for me" she said hugging me
"It's good you too beautiful to be crying" I said pulling away from her. Then, looking over at her
We stared into each others eyes until I leaned in and................................ dust her shoulders off.
"It's okay" I said leaving her shocked
Mercedes P.O.V
I thought he was going to kiss me, but I'm glad he didn't because it would have been wrong.
"Could you please not tell my mom about this and keep this between us" I begged him
