"August"

"Chile get up"

   I turned on the hard cold floor as Ms.Monica shook me trynna wake me up. I finally got up , and gave her my full attention, wonderin' why she woke me up out my sleep at 10 inna' mornin'.

"Get up boy ya' comin' wit me , no if's and or but's about it" she said with her hands on her hips givin' sass while rollin' her neck.

"Wea we goin'?"

"My place , the weather gettin' bad , I let all my workers leave early and I aint finna let you get caught up in that storm boy nah get up."

   I sighd' as I got up , even though I didnt wanna rely on Ms.Monica to look after me , she still took the time out her day to make sure I was straight.

   I quickly folded the sheets and put them up as I followed Ms.Monica to the front of the store retrieving the umbrella she had awaiting , opening it up holding it over both of our heads, while we power walked to her car.

   The rain started to pour down harder the moment we both got into the car, I laid my head on the window watching the rain drops fall on the window, leavin' us in complete silence.

   "Talked to Sheila ?"

Ms.Monica asked breaking the silence between us. She knew about my momma and I problems and she been trynna get up to mend our relationship for the longest.

  "Nahh really aint got nun to say to ha' "

She took her eyes off the road for a second to look at me while shaking her head sighn'.

  "August im not trynna pressure ya' into nothin' but you needa try and reach out to her before it too late"

   I ran my hands down my face before lookin' at her, understanding where she was comin from but the same way I should try and talk to her she should try and talk to me.

  "Anthony talk t-"

I knew she was aggravated when she called me by my middle name but what confused me is when she stoppd' talkin' and swerved towards the right lane , stoppin' at the curb lettin' my window down leanin' ova'.
  
   "Bzona!?" She yelled to the li' chick that was walkin' in the rain with her head down. Still not gettin' her attention, she reached in the backseat grabbin' a towel as she hurriedly got out the car walkin' towards the girl in the rain gettin' her attention.

   Finally they turned around walkin' back to the car and I noticed it was the new chick she got workn' in the store.

Bzona

"Thank you" I stated as I got into the car noticing the dude thats always in the store, guessin' its her son.

"No problem chile, nah wea' to?"

I sighd as I looked out the window. The problem was I didnt have no where to go at this moment.

"Uhm you can drop me off at the shelter around the corna' "
I finally said but as low as possible but figuring she still heard because she quickly look up at me through the rear mirror.
