****Guys I am literarly in physicall pain writing this. I found an article on Mel's shooting. It said he lived long enough to talk to the parademics. And on top of that his dad ran a construction business he was supposed to take over. It just goes to show he was trying to change his life and it also said that he feared he was going to killed like a month before. Tomorrow is the day y'all. Put up prayers for Aug and his whole family.

Mel in the m/m and link to article.

AMBER P.O.V. –

“This feels so wrong.” I said as I laid on August’s chest, listening to his heartbeat slow down from what we just did.

“Why?” He smirked.

“Having sex two hours before I’m supposed to meet your family. It just feels wrong.” I put my chin on his chest and looked up at him. He played in my hair, looking down at me.

“I was just thinking about you and wanted to be inside you. Plus, I had to get away from all them niggas at my house.”

“They getting on your nerves?”

He gave me a look. “One bed. One bathroom. Almost ten niggas?”

I laughed. “Leave them alone. They came to support you.”

“And I appreciate, but it’s time for them to go.”

“When they leaving?”

“Sunday I think.”

“I’m so nervous about meeting them.”

“I’mma tell you right now, half of em’ ghetto as hell.”

I laid my head on his pillow where we were face to face. “Leave them alone.” I pecked his lips.

“They are. And then my own fuckin brotha trying to fight me and shit. Man, it’s just been crazy.”

“Fight you over what?” I ran my finger over his soft cheek.

“Some fuck shit. He jealous that’s what the real problem is. He always has been. Especially since I been in school. Like nigga I ain’t special. If you wanted to go to school you can do that shit too.”

“Don’t let him upset you baby.” I pecked his lips. It was silent for a moment.

“How did I get so fucking lucky?” He ran his hands over my forehead.

“Like some days I look at you and wonder when a nigga gon wake me up, cause this can’t be true.”

“Stop with the corny movie lines.”

“Nah babe I’m serious.” He smiled. “I wouldn’t be graduating tomorrow if it wasn’t for you.”

“Yes you would’ve. You were doing great long before me.”

“Nah babe you don’t understand, if I would’ve quit that day, I probably wouldn’t have went back. I would’ve given up on all my dreams, and been just another nigga with potential who didn’t fulfill it. But you pushed me.”

“Stop August you’re given me way more credit than I should have. That credit goes to you and Mel.” I promised myself I wasn’t going to cry so I was trying to save my tears at least for tomorrow.

“And you too. Mel was the reason I got in school sure enough, but you the reason I finished. He told me I was gonna go down here and meet somebody that was going to change my life and I thought he was bull shittin’, but I did.”
