MYA POV

11 months after that night... Present time

I was cradling my sweet pumpkin of 8 months. She was the sweetest thing. A busy bee but sweet.
She literally had everyone wrapped around her finger. Thankfully that means everyone willingly helps out.

"Baby are you ready?" I walked in to see him getting dressed.

"Almost baybeh" he said as he fixed his shirt.

"Okay good"

"How I look Londy?" He said flexing for her but she closed her and fell asleep. "You done sleepin on a nigga" he joked

I gently placed her on the middle of the bed and placed surrounding pillows around her.

He was dressed and ready to go "how I look?"

"If I tell you what I'm thinking you wouldn't want to leave" he popped his one eyebrow. "Is that right?"

"Mhmm" I pulled him to me and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Baby, promise me that tonight I won't have to bail you out" he looked at me unsure of what to say.

"I'm serious" he nodded "alright alright, I promise"

"He said he wants to formally apologize, let's at least allow him the chance"

He nodded "yes ma'am"

"You gon be good fa daddy?" He smirked at me.

"Boy bye" I mushed his head and went into the closet. "Alright watch me fix that attitude of yours"

"Ignoring you" I sang while getting a diaper to change my baby.

"Baybeh" he called me and once I got the diaper I came out.

"Yes my love" he smiled at that "sit down for a minute." He pointed to the bed, a little confused I sat down.

"Baybeh, it's been a year since I almost died, and year since you found me"

"And I been reflecting all day in silence" he sighed rubbing his hands together.

"You really held me down, more than all my niggas did all my life. Through up and downs and I know there were days you didn't deserve the way I treated you but you still held me down."

"You my baybeh and I trust you with everything in me. It took me a long time but I worked on my insecurities and I prayed and prayed and God got me right together"

"You the best thing that's happened to me Mya and I wouldn't trade you for the world"

I look up at him and I couldn't help but shed some tears. "August I love you with every fiber of my being baby"

"Since the days you held me down and had my back I knew you were a real one. Your looks are the bonus"

"I wanted a real man and I got a real good looking man, a good father to my children, a personal singer and entertainer, a personal chef, everything"

"God was in his bag when he made you for me" I winked at him who was already smiling.

"If we're lucky we could pop another August outta here so we could give the women in the future some hope for the next generation of men" I joked.

"Come here girl" he pulled me up and into his embrace.

"I love you"

"I love you more papi"

"You know what that means in English right?" I rolled my eyes and chuckled.

"Get out of here August"

"Now you running me"

"Cause you stalling.. goodbye"

He smacked his lips "I just confessed my heart and you kicking me out"

"August goodbye"

"Man stop calling me my government name"

"Bye baby" I walked him out the room.

"I love you please be safe and no more fighting.. please" I pleaded. He nodded and leaned down to kiss me "I promise"

"Okay good" I pushed him out and closed the door. "That's just cold!" I hear him yell.

He was stalling and he needed to go.
Me and Chris didn't need to be friends but him and August were really closely knit. Even despite all the fights they got into this year, you could tell there was love somewhere in there.

Chris even stopped fighting him back... I noticed. He looked like he was tired of it but August wanted to keep fighting and I told him he needed to chill out because our kids need a good example.

I've already learned to forgive him honestly. Anger takes a toll on your body and mental health and it was beginning to affect me negatively so I just forgave him for what he said without having the conversation with him.

It's really just August.

August pov

I reached the club and honestly I know Mya said no fighting.. but I already had in mind not to.

I was tired of fighting him myself. It wasn't like me and I knew he got tired when he stopped throwing punches and stop shit talking.

I walked in the club and passed through all the groupies waiting there for my arrival.

I walked passed them and got to my section. Dennis and Travis was here and Chris was on stage performing.

There's something in this liquor

air is getting thicker

All I want is you

The song blasted through the club and I witnessed security tightened up and I couldn't help but chuckle a lil.

We done got the security scared.

Once he finished his first set, he got off the stage and after a few minutes he came up to our section.

"Wassup man" he nodded at me and I nodded back.

"We going to the back or what?" Travis asked "nah" he shook his head "aye clear this spot out for me" the security began moving everybody out so we had the spot to ourselves.

"Aight now, Mya said to bring this just in case" Travis said pulling out a belt.

"I ain't playing with yall niggas tonight.. my babymomma at home waiting for me to come back" he warned and I couldn't help but smile.

He so dumb. Who brings a belt to the club man?

"Aight bet" we all sat down and he looked up at me.

"I know it's foul to find out that I of all niggas was crushing on your girl. You trusted me to take care of your family and I did"

"Even though I felt what I felt.. I never made a move on your wife. Not a flirt..nothing man" he sighed and I just listened.

"All she ever talked about was you and I always tried to help her get you back. That's where she was the happiest man ... next to you"

"I'm sorry for never telling you anything but I'm even more sorry for the shit i said. That way out of line.. I disrespected her and you and when I did I know I disrespected the kids too"

"That ain't like me and I don't ever want that to be the impression I leave with you guys" he looked me dead in the eye and I could tell he was serious and sincere.

"I'm sorry Aug"

"You my nigga.. even if we part ways tonight for good. You gon always be my nigga. I'd rather be fighting niggas for you than fighting with you man"

He said and I didn't responded I was just processing what he was telling me.

"Now Dennis.." he sighed again scratching his head.

"That whole thing with Rebecca, I did know but she promised me she was gonna tell you on her own" he shrugged

"I thought she did have that conversation with you already until that night you start talking about having children and I knew then she didn't say nothing"

"I didn't feel comfortable knowing that shit and not saying nothing"

"She's your wife so if anybody had to say something it really had to be her first, that's why I waited but maybe I should've said something anyway. I'm sorry man, for the way I said it"

He nodded " I forgive you man, I know you be having my back all the time"

"I didn't like the way I found out obviously but I believe you, Rebecca had been moving funny around that time anyway. I was suspicious but I just didn't know what it was she was hiding" he nodded.

"I appreciate you man, next time forget whoever said what. I'd appreciate you coming to tell me anyway" he nodded "respect. I got you" he dapped him up.

"August" Travis said making me sit up in my seat.

"I trusted you around my wife man, I don't know if I can ever see you the same way around my family"

"You made a move on my wife?" He looked me in the eye and shook his head "never" I believed him. I can usually tell when a nigga lying.

Perks of being in the street and nigga was telling tha truth.

"I'm sorry too man. I used that shit against you and that ain't right. I know what moment in time did for you" he shook his head "let's bury that man, we both said some shit to trigger each other"

"Bet." I nodded

"I gotta be honest though, Ion really want you around my family like that no more"

"I can respect that"

"But my kids love you and they miss Roro" I argued stroking my goatee.

"And I don't like fighting with you, my kids need me to be a example"

"Same"

"What if we just work on us right na... forget the rest of the family. Let's start this shit over. When it was just me and you" he suggested

"That sounded a lil on the fruity side to me" Dennis said sipping his drink while Travis snickered along with him.

"Shut yo ass up, you know what I mean" Chris joked and mugged him.

"Teletubby falling down lookin ass" Chris said making Dennis stale face him. Not being able to stay quiet I started laughing with Travis.

"Aye man, we cool bruh." I got up and he did too so I dapped him up.

In reality I did miss my brother. We been cool for years, long lasting friendships is something I've always had and he was a good nigga.

"Thanks man"

"Aight bet, bring over that bottle of Rosé homie!" Travis yelled to the waitress.

The girl came over with the drinks but she looked nervous as hell "we don't bite ma" i said to calm her nerves but she wasn't moved by that. She was coming back our way and tripped over nothing.

"What the hell? Casper push yo ass or sumn?" Tyga said making his way up here but once Dennis start snickering we started laughing again.

I walk over to her and offered a helping hand to her which she gladly took.

"We humans just like you" I pulled out a hundred and placed it in her hand. She seemed shocked and before she could get a word out I stopped her "just say thank you"

"Thank you" she said shyly before walking away.

"What is wrong witchu man?" I said dapping up Tyga.

"Man ain't nothing was in front of ha" I shook my head.

"Wait hol on, yall cool now? Cause I'm not tryna go home with a busted lip or nun" Tyga said looking between us

"Yea we cool man"

"Done got security scared and shit" Tyga said pointing at them.

"See how much of these niggas standing here waiting for something to pop off" Chris said

"We done did too much damage" I joked.

"So wassup Aug, you tryna do a special tonight?" Chris said looking at me.

"What song?"

"You already know man" he smirked and I already knew. He wanted to do his favorite song of mine.

'I luv this shit'

We got up there and the crowd went crazy and of course the stories were going up on social media.

Boys back together again.

Mya was right about forgiveness because I felt so much better and I really just wanted to be friends with my nigga.

We have some kinks in the way to work on but hey look ... it's a stepping stone.

We did the song, we got lit and it felt like old times. Safe to say I had a good night. I felt good about everything.

I had my nigga back, my baby growing so beautifully, my wife waiting for me at the crib. Life is good right now.

I done hopped in the car and got my chauffeur driving me home. I was tired as hell.

I walked in my house and I checked all the kids room before I entered my own.  Fatherly behavior, I can't go to bed not knowing if they in bed asleep. I just got to make sure.

I entered into my room and I was confused. Mya wasn't in bed "baybeh" I called out. I ain't get no response so I went to our connecting bathroom.

She wun in there either. I stepped out and came to a stop.

"Hey, wassup" she said leaning up against the walk in closet door.

She had on a robe and by the looks of it I can't imagine what's underneath.

"Wazzam" she smiled.

"How'd it go?"

"I think you know" I said sliding my shades off.

"I mean I saw but I wanna hear it from you"

I stepped closer to her "it was good, we had a heart to heart, I apologize and he did too." She nodded

"We agreed to try the friendship again from scratch" she smiled and nodded "mmmm"

"I'm proud of you"

"Yeah?" I leaned closer to her.

"Mhmm" she nodded looking at my lips.

"How proud?" She smirked and pulled me to her. I wrapped my arms around her and she wrapped her arms around my neck.  

"I'm very proud of you August. You're growing and maturing everyday and it's very very attractive. I'm sure Melvin would be very proud of you"

I feel her tug on my heart "you think so?"

"I know so" holding back my tears "thanks ma" she kissed me in return.

"Now back to what you was saying" she smirked and nodded for me to continue.

"So me maturing makes me more attractive?" She nodded looking "yep"

"What it make you wanna do?" I teased "shut up" she laughed.

"Make my shut go up"

"Gladly"

**********
A couple months later...

I walked over to the grave site and seen his name up on the tomb.

DOMINIC SMITH

"You took my brother from me" I started wanting to cry already at the thought.

I spent a lot of these past months trying to learn about forgiveness. I been in my Bible and I felt like God wanted to wrap this up.

"You almost took my wife's life and my own life"

"And thing is I hated you so bad. I wanted you dead."

"Now you dead and what? My brother ain't here and it still hurt that he gone" I let my tears fall.

"I ain't perfect and in some ways I was just like you"

"How I'm gon wish you death and I'm just like you? Undeserving of grace but he still gives it to me"

"Everyday I wake up I get another chance to make it right, to repent and change my life"

"If he can give me grace despite everything I've done, he definitely gave you grace too"

"So, I forgive you man. For all the hurt you cause my family, the pain you caused me. Everything."

"I'm letting it go so I can free my conscience and free myself from this anger and ugly emotions"

"I'm letting it go so you don't control me, even when you 6 feet under" 

"Peace to you wherever you at" I said before walking off.

I looked at my phone and seen notifications come in and it was people reacting to 'song cry'

I just put my phone away and got in the car  and got lost in my thoughts while the chauffeur drove off with my song playing.

I seen a text from Chris come in and it was a picture of him Bre and Roro all wearing goofy glasses. Yeah I let the kids go over by him because they kept asking to see him and Roro so I let them go.

Another text came from Mya.

Wife 🔒💜 : Wazzam wodie

I started laughing, she wanna look like a thug so bad.

Me: girl if you'n getchoo a....

Wife 🔒💜: my security standing tall with me

Wife 🔒💜: let a nigga try me try me
Wife 🔒💜: you ain't know who you go under your roof 😏

Me: I'm definitely tryna find out when you get home 😏👀

Wife 🔒💜: Soon baby, soon 😘

She was on tour right now but as soon as she come back I'm gon take her on a date in the Eiffel tower. She didn't know though, but I wanted her to live out her dreams while being her best self.

She been too good to me, she been riding for a nigga for a long time. I was only tryna give her what she deserved.

Ima let my soul cry through these words
I need to try to free my mind

Sometimes I need to cry just to ease my hurt
Ima let this song cry

Hope you don't think I still won't ride for mine
Every rose needs the rain sometimes

Just know that you can cry your eyes this time
Let this song cry
