[Where the Author has a headache yet, she updated. How awesome of her?]

[August]

"What?"

She stepped away from me looking up. "He' s your brother you didn't know about from you Father's side. I wanted to tell you, but I didn't know how you'd react. I'd never cheat on you baby."

I looked at her confused as she attempted to hold my face again. "The fuck is goin' on Phoebe? What kind of shit is that? My Daddy ain't had no more kids man. And Mama got Travis by anotha' nigga."

She sighed. " I never wanted to come between your family's business and secrets August but your Mother told me . I guess she just wanted to know what I thought about her keeping it from you. I didn't ask her anything about it. I didn't even know until she told me."

I held unto the counter. "Told you when?"

"Maybe weeks ago. Okay I'm lying, almost two months ago. I—I wanted to tell you."

"So why you ain't?" I asked her angrily.

"B—Because, she didn't want me to. She wanted to tell you herself.  When she was ready, she said that she was at a crossroads, she didn't want to keep it from you anymore. I'm sorry baby."

I leaned against the counter trying to understand. "Well who else know?"

"I think Travis and your cousin Sneaky."

"Well why they ain't tell me!" I shouted.

"I don't know baby. I don't know. I been trying to figure out the best way to tell you. But you always get angry. I was going to tell you last night but then I bumped into well...My Mom."

"This why I be getting' mad at you Phe because you always keep things from me. How this shit posed' to make me feel?"

"Exactly how I feel about my Mom. I—I'm sorry baby. It's not my fault."

I sucked my teeth, walking towards the coat closet pulling on a varsity Jacket. "Where are you going baby?"

I ignored her, pulling on my shoes. "Atleast answer me August. I'm so sorry about this whole thing. It's just been so messy and I didn't want your Mom to dislike me. You have to understand that I was being tugged by two ends of the rope." She blocked me as I took up the keys.

"Move Phe."

"No baby, please don't go over there now. It's too early."

"You da' same one who went to see ya Moms at 2 in the mornin'. Move." I lifted her up pushing her to the side as I headed towards the door.
