Mya

I just sat here in August's room, waiting for him to wake up. It's been 2 months and I've became miserable without him.

I got up and paced around the room, and silently prayer that God will send a sign that August is gonna be fine. Bridgett came in the room with a cup in her hand handing it to me.

"Here you go. It's coffee." she said and I thanked her. I sat down and she followed me.

"How you holding up ?" Bri said making conversation with me.

"Good, you know ? I haven't been the same though." I sighed, looking down at the floor.

"It will be alright. August will wake up and he will tell you his side of the story and y'all will be fine." I looked at her and looked back down.

"It's just that something is not right." I said as I got up and began to pace again. "He gets shot in his own house. Who would do something like that ?"

"I don't know but we will find out though. Can you stop pacing ? You making me nervous." and we both laughed.

Bridgett

It's hard seeing Mya like this. Ever since August came to the hospital, she was at home, moping, crying and not eating as she usually does. I told her I'll be back and went to the waiting room where everybody else was.

"Ain't getting no better, huh ?" Kevin asked me as I sat next to him. I just thought about the times we shared as a couple before we found out that we were related.

"No. She is still the same and I don't like it." I sighed, looking down.

"It'll get better. Just wait on it." he said acting like Drake and I just chuckled.

"I'm going back in the room ? Wanna tag along ?" I requested, standing up.

"Yea, come on." I walked in front of him as we made it to the room.

August

"Word ?" I asked Mel as he told me one of his stories. Sounded like a soap opera. Just so dramatic.

"Yea. That's just the way life is." he said smiling.

"When can I wake up ? I'm try'na see Mya's face again and it's kinda boring in here." I said complaining.

"Soon, just wait." I nodded and began to choke and have a vicious cough.

"Yo August, you straight ?" he asked patting my back. I began dizzy and nauseous and this is supposed to be heaven. I fell to the ground and passed out.

"August, if you hear me, just squeeze my hand or give me a signal of something." I asked. I looked at him and his skin was becoming pale.

"Knock, knock." Kevin said, walking in the room.

"Hey Kev, lil bro." I said giving him a hug.

"August didn't do nothing yet, huh ?" I nodded and Bri sat down and so did we.

"Man this is too frustating." I sat down and sighed.

"It will be fine, just wait and relax." Bri said, rubbing my back in circles trying to soothe me but it wasn't working.

"I wish God could give me a sign." I yelled and I heard a flatline. I turned and seen August's monitor doing that.

A ton of doctors came in and took August and I stood there shocked about everything.

"Ma'am I need you to go out to the waiting room and wait, please." the nurse said, escorting me. This is too much.
