I HATE My Brother (Royce)

Chapter 72

Jacob's P.O.V

August decided to leave the situation alone. He said he had already knew who really did it but i dont think he did. I was downstairs looking at TV when i heard music playing from the basement. I turned the TV down listening to the song. His amazing voice rang the house along with the beat he was playing. I nodded my head as the beat dropped. I followed the music downstairs to basement where there was a in house studio. I saw August in the booth singing.

August: So many nights I tried
To hide how I felt, I would cry inside
And I ran through the streets till my feet got tired
Cause I ain't wanna have my shoes on them power lines

But I made it, and it made me
I know I did wrong, I pray to God he forgave me
Cause I made it, and it didn't kill me
So it made me stronger, I pray to God that you feel me, that you feel me...

Started off in the streets
We would take collection from the fiends
People dyin' all around me
So I gave you my testimony
We were down from the beginnin'
When the world wasn't listenin'
Now that I got your attention
Let us end with the benediction

Our father who art in heaven
I pray you free me from my demons and keep me level
I know you kept me out of prison where I was headin'
When I heard somebody killed my brother, one-eighty-seven
I hope he made it to your presence, for me he was a blessin'
At least I know he's restin' and he ain't out here stressin'
Tryna get to the good life, and out of this hood life
I pray that my step-pops stay off of that crack pipe
So Mama could sleep nights, I know it's been hard on her
I was ripping through the streets, it was hard for her
Now I'm up in hotels on the ocean shore
When I was sleepin' on the floor at the corner store

But I made it, and i made me
I know I did wrong, I pray to God he would save me
Cause I made it, it didn't kill me
So it made me stronger, I pray to God that you feel me, do you feel me yeaaaahhh

He sat in the booth with his his head in his hands. I felt guilty. Considering i knew who had really killed his brother all along and never told him. It hurts me cause i knew Corahn had did it all along. Him and Melvin hated each other. Chresanto and Melvin were like brothers but Chres helped Corahn set him up. Some hoe Bre'l got connected to it and she was the blame. I was just a bystander. I swore to the family that i wouldnt say anything because August would go after them both but its been 4 almost 5 years since mom died and we still dont know who killed her so i know how hurt he probably feels. I pressed the button on the board and sighed.

Me: amazing

He looked up at me and took off his head phones coming out of the booth.

August: imma take you home

Me: but-

August: its really not an option anymoe'

I sighed in defeat and nodded. He probably hates me. I walked back upstairs grabbing my phone off the counter. He grabbed his keys and we walked out the front door. I stopped dead in my tracks seeing Chresanto leaning on the car with it running.

August: well i guess i aint gotta take you home then.

Me: August stop being like that

August: like what Jacob ? Curious ? I cant, considering someone iv been in love with since i was 14 years old might have something to do with getting my brotha' fuckin' killed !

Me: i didnt do anything !

August: then who did ?

I looked at him and stayed silence. He shook his head and chuckled.

August: fuck you fam, you aint gotta worry about me, im good cause i damn sho' wont be worrying about you.

He turned around and walked back into the house slamming the door. I wiped the tear that fell from my eye and walked to Chresanto who looked as sorry as he could be.

Chres: im sorry i-

Me: just take me home

Chres: i forgot about picking you up

Me: i forgot to give a fuck Chres just take me home.

I was in no mood for fussing with hime and August. I got in car and looked in the backseat Nessa and im guessing Chres's son sleep. He looked just like Chres and nothing like Cam thank god. I dont think i could be with Chres seeing her clone everyday. Chres got in and backed out of the driveway and making his way home. It was dead silent.

Chres: i know i forgot to pick you up and im so sorry. I just got caught up-

Me: doing what ?

Chresanto's P.O.V

I looked at the road trying to avoid answering the question. I could feel him looking at me.

Jacob: are you going to answer me ?

I sighed and my phone rang. It was Cam. Jacob grabbed the phone and held it in his hand.

Jacob: answer it and put it on speaker phone

He said gritting through his teeth.

Me: no

I said and continued driving.

Jacob: fine

He answered the phone and put it on speaker phone. I sat there and listened as he did the same.

Cam: Chres i know you dont wanna talk to me and im sorry about threatening to take your son away from you. I just love you. These past years we've spent together have been fun and i dont want to give that up. I already moved my things out of the house and im moving back with my fiancé. I know Jacob woke up and you love him but i love you to. Im sorry that you were late to pick him up because of me because i wanted to tease you and it led to other things-

I heard the phone call end and i didnt even bother to look at him because i knew he was crying.
