Ambition {An August Alsina Story}

Nothing

August POV

"Oh yeah you think so?," Noah smiles.

"Dad I know so,"

"Go get the basketball then," Noah runs upstairs. I shake my head and walk to the room.

"Hey," I look at Melanie as she sleeps.

"Hey," she doesnt even look at me.

"Whats wrong?,"

"Nothing just really tired," she sniffles and curls into a bad.

"Are you sure?,"

"Positive," I lean in to kiss her cheek and she jumps.

"M-,"

"Im fine baby," I look at her in confused.

"Melanie whats wrong?,"

"Nothing Im fine," I lay a blanket over her. "Thanks," She mumbles.

"I love you," she shivers.

"I love you too,"

Melanie's POV

"Oh UNO!," Adrian yells downstairs. I walk downstairs and see everyone playing uno.

"Melanie nice of you to join us," Dad says as he reshuffles the cards.

"Yeah, " August look at me and I walk over to him.

"Feeling better?," He asks me.

"Oh honey whats wrong?," Mom asks

"Nothing,"

"She wasn't-," August starts to ramble.

"Nothing Im fine;" I cut him off.

"Mom come play," India says.

"I'll watch this round, " August studies me. Nick looks at me then back at his cards. I want to tell everyone what that son of a bitch did to me. But I dont want to break Harmony right before they are about to have a baby.

"Come here," August looks at me. I walk closer to him. He grabs my hand and I hesitate.

"Melanie are you sure you are okay?," Dad asks.

"Yes," I sit on August's lap putting up an act. I hold his hand and squeeze it. "Never let me go August," I whisper.

"I wont,"

"India! Get ready!," I yell from my room.

"Damn baby what happened to you wrists? ," August says walking in.

"Oh my watch was bothering me,"

"Dont lie to me," He laughs.

"Im not,"

"They are purple and your leg why is bruised?,"

"Long story," I sigh.

"Tell me,"

"August no,"

"Baby just tell me,"

"No August,"

"Tell me,"

"Let it go," I groan and walk past him. He grabs my arm and pulls me to him. I flinch and try to pull it together.

"Mel?,"

"Yes," I hold my tears in.

"You know you can tell me anything,"

"I know," he lets me go.

"Can I have a kiss?," I begin to say something. "Babe," I kiss his cheek. "Melanie what happened? Why are you acting like this?,"

"Nothing, "
