"Outside talking to Joe."
I nodded and brought my knees up to my chest, wrapping my arms around them. Everyone stood around me, talking to both one another and me. But I was hardly listening. All I could think about was how was I going to make it?
Seven years, if that, without August. And yeah, so what if I get to visit him? He isn't here like I need him to be, like I want him to be. This basically fucked everything we had planned up.
Not to mention his dark days. Who's gonna be there for him? When he's crying about his brother or shutting everyone out, who's gonna bring him back? Huh?
Nobody. That's who. Not a single soul. He's everything to me and now I just feel somewhat..empty without him. I could barely take a month, how am I supposed to cope with seven years?
"Can I just be left alone for a minute?"I asked feeling a cry bubbling up in my throat.
They gave me worried looks but I waved my hand at them.
"I'll come out in five minutes I swear, just let me breath for a little. Clean my face and stuff."
"Alright."My mom started to walk towards the door."But five minutes."
"Got it."I nodded.
"Any later time and we're barging in."Lola added while leaving out as well.
I gave them all a small assuring smile but it dropped as soon as Lance shut the door behind them.
As I swung my legs to get out of the bed I noticed May and June were no longer in my room. I just shrugged it off and headed to the bathroom.
"Wow, I look horrible. What a shocker."I spoke sarcastically to the mirror.
I grabbed a small towel from the rack and wet it to put it to my face. I remember one time August just stood
in the doorway and watched me do my morning routine. It was one of those mornings where we didn't have work and just wanted to be in each other's presence.
"What?"I giggled at him.
"Nothin',"He shrugged with a smile.
"It has to be something."I turned around to face him."Why are you staring at me?"
"I can't jus' look?"
"You can but.."I shrugged.
"But?"
"But it's weird."I sat the towel down with a chuckle."You're such a creep sometimes."
He bit his bottom lip to suppress his smile and walked up to me. I braced myself as his lanky arms wrapped around my waist. He kissed my forehead before tapping my backside. I hopped up and allowed him to sit me carefully on the sink.
"How i'mma creep?"He stood in between my legs.
"You just are."I blushed."Now you're even creepier."
He smirked a little and raised one hand to push hair out of my face,"You look so beautiful in da' mawnin'."
"Oh please,"I pushed his hand while blushing,"you're just saying that."
"I ain't,"He shook his head,"ion see why you would even think dat."
"I look like a wild animal in the morning."I straight faced him.
"Not ta' me."He shrugged."I been wakin' up ta' you fa' da' last five years and shit ain't changed."
"So the first time we slept in the same bed–"
"Was da' night of prom. You came in and comforted a nigga, lettin' me know you was down fa' me. You wanted ta' stay so we got in my bed and went ta' sleep. Next mawnin', I woke up and you was still thea'."
He paused his story to smile to himself, almost as if he was playing the memory in his head.
"And dat's da' first time I found out you slept wit'cha mouth creaked open a lil. And somehow you ended up on top of me wit'cha legs wrapped around me."He chuckled while I blushed."But fa' some reason you was still beautiful ta' me."
"You thought I was beautiful then?"I asked shocked.
"Phat, I've always thought chu' was beautiful."He looked into my eyes."Since da' first time I seen you."
Both of his hands moved to caress the sides of my face. I felt as if I would melt in them to be honest. He pulled me forward to give me a kiss to which I responded quickly to.
"April!"Kennedy barges in."It's been five minutes."
I snap out of my memory and blink to recover from the blurry vision. I pick my head up to look into the mirror only to see my face already wet with tears.
I just hope that's how fast this time goes.

Characters in the mm.
So, not the best chapter, but I guess it's a starter. Btw I'm sorry for taking so long. I didn't realize it was this long. I've been trying to get the 2016 stories ready for you guys.
But regarding to this story, I'm basically undecided on how I want this sentencing to go (though I do have an idea) but I'm not sure if yall are gonna like it. ;)
Also, prepare to run into some new characters. And you know what new characters mean? New problems...
And of course we'll have our old characters because why would we want to forget them?
BUT ITS BREAK SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? -slides on shades- UPDATES UNTIL YOU DIE!
