Rihanna P.O.V

"I told you more than once not to make these grits that Damn lumpy! You never do shit right ROBYN!" He yelled throwing the whole plate against the wall as I flinched.

"I -I'm sorr -"

"Somebody's gonna have to teach you a lesson. " he walked over to me and grabbed me by my arm forcing me against the wall. I closed my eyes in fear as tears slipped through my eyes while I did a silent prayer.

*Knock knock knock knock knock knock,knock knock*

He looked at me starring at me so harsh as if looks could kill. I was just high key thankful but I know no one can buy me out of the ass whooping Im'a receive after whoever that is leave. I peeped around the corner just as he opened the door.

"Hello sir is Rihanna home." I recognized that voice from anywhere.

" Rihanna doesn't live here. "

"Well the other day when she was in attendance at school she told me this was her residence and where i could find her so we could study." My dear trey, hearing his voice brought a smile to my face.

"Psst psst."

" Rih. " I turn my back to see Bey and Cardi at the top of the steps. Going upstairs i go in my room along with them and lock the door.

"What are you guys doing here?" I exclaimed

" oh my gosh. it's worse than I thought. " Cardi said embracing me. she tried touching my face but I pulled back.

"You guys don't need to be here. He'll hurt you like he did --"

"Girl please the guys wouldn't let us do this if they felt we couldn't handle our own." Cardi spoke.

"Plus rih you need to stand up for yourself. I don't know the full story,but I know your gonna tell me once we get through this." I hugged Bey tight finally letting down my wall towards her.

"How did y'all even get in here --" my question was cut off as we heard footsteps.

"Robyn!" He yelled .

"Robyn ." Bey mouthed to me and I rolled my eyes realizing how much I really do have to tell her.

"Robyn look i just wanna talk about your little friend." He kept walking as it sounded like he was dragging something along with him. "Robyn." He said stopping in front of the door. "ROBYN!" He banged on the door causing all of us to jump and look at each other. Bey and Cardi took both sides of the door both with something heavy in their hands to knock him out. I stood in the middle with a knife behind my back if necessary.

"I'm unlocking the door in 3." Bey nodded with vase and taser in hand.

"2." I nodded gripping knife handle.

"1." Cardi got her blade and pepper spray ready.

Unlocking the door, within five seconds it swung open.

"Robyn,my sweet Robyn. Your mines and mine only!" He charged in, but Bey hit him over the head with quickness and he instantly fell to the ground. Cardi instantly followed up pepper spraying him.

"Yeah Nigga how that shit feel,hurt like shit don't it." She yelled over him hollering at the top of his lungs. She kept spraying to the point where his eyes couldn't keep close to protect themselves,eyes was bloodshot red,and tears was pooling. We heard a bunch of running coming upstairs so me and Bey instantly threw up our sets ready for whatever.

"We heard yelling y'all good." Michael questioned first.

"Damn Nigga you got knocked the fuck out!

" Keith! " Karin laughed.

"Sorry I always wanted to say that."

" Cardi stop Damn you gon kill him. " August yelled at her but she didn't stop.

"For real he already blind probably." Chris added.

"Cardi stop." He grabbed her, but her finger never let up and she sprayed him in the face.

"Oh shit." Keith laughed.

"Ayee man what the fuck!"

" I'm sorry Aug. " she said finally putting the pepper spray down.

"Get the Fuck away from me mane!" He yelled pushing her hands away and you can tell it hurt her feelings, but she played it off.

" Well you shouldn't of been grabbing me in the first place!

"Why you spraying niggas to death in the first place, that wasn't the plan."

"Because a bitch was mad."

" Ok so be mad and voluntarily take your ass to jail, cause I ain't going witcha! " There was a moment of silence until Keith started laughing then Karin.

"I'm sorry but that was funny."

" And I can't take him serious. " Karin laughed.

"Yo we better make some moves because I don't look good in Orange." Michael suggested.

"And the way y'all yelling I'm sure the nosy white neighbors are out by now and he's coming to." I explained .

"Shit I knew this was gonna go wrong." August rubbed his face in frustration.

"Chill y'all I got something. More like know some one." We all looked at Cardi as she got on her phone.
A minute later she turned towards us.

"Soo?" I asked. "

"Let's go, don't ask. Just watch." We all went downstairs as I grabbed the few bags they had packed for me and went to the door and waited.
She told us to listen and not to open the door.

"Cardi man -" Keith started because he grew impatient but was cut off by the commotion outside.

"Yeah take yo old ass inside! Everytime i walk outside all y'all out here! Ain't shit going on! Come out when the world coming to an end or when black people getting locked up! Black lives matter! Yo Yo where were all y'all nosey asses when tupac got shot! I bet y'all could of been like "There he go!" Damn ! Learn to mind Y'ALL MOTHER FUCKING BUSINESS BITCH! Oh let us not forget peace love and positivity! " the person finish but by that time we were in our cars and the people were in their houses.

The guy who was talking raned up to Aug 's car on the passenger side.

"Ayee Cardi, your welcome." The guy had said.

"No thank you Bobby, I appreciate you coming through."

"You know I run shit, they can't stand me out here."

" So I've heard, driving these old people to their death. "

"Its what I do."

" Yeah, thanks again tho. "

" No prob, stay safe. " he said, before we drove off.
************************************************
August P.O.V.

"Mane junk was crazy."

" Aug was really not playin about going to jail. " trey laughed along with Keith.

"Talkin bout I ain't going witcha."

" How the fuck you bitch out on your bitch. " I turned around and two pieced Keith, one his chest the other in his face. Trey just looked on laughing harder.

"Who the bitch now."

" Nigga what. " Keith snapped standing up to me as trey stood up too stepping in between.

"Ayee y'all chill." Trey drugged out still trying to contain his laughter.

"Nah this nigga snuck me, I want my one."

" Nigga you saw me coming up, you had five seconds. You knew shit wasn't sweet after you called my girl a bitch, be real mane. "

"Alright whatever." Keith chuckled finally sitting back down.

"Ayee I'm finna go to the back and check on rih, y'all cats cool out here?" Trey asked getting up.

"Yeah I'm good Brodie, I'm finna go for a walk." I grabbed my keys as keith nodded and trey walked to the back.

The situation with rih kinda goes like this. I'm the only one who live on they own and can allow another person to stay with me so for now she crashing at my place. Trey here most of the time anyway because he never got shit to do and plus he my homeboy. Out of everybody me and trey the closest. I mean she could go stay with Chris but that could totally go left if you picking up what I'm throwing down. Trey the most leveled out everybody his dad would of went for it, but his mom would not go for that shit. Anyways people say I'm the wisdom of the group and I can help get her through this hard time so I guess that's what I'll do. Although I'm on the skins of my teeth myself.

I walk outside my door and take in the fresh air as I look around. Same ol drug dealers, same cars, same neighborhood,same people,different day,time astray. I sigh as I start walking along the sidewalk to no where in particular just taking a peaceful walk around the way. Then I decided I was gonna hit up da corner store.

Mike's Food Store

I walked in saying wassup to doc he been running this store since before I existed.

"Hey young blood, what you up to today?"

" Same shit,just a different day. " I chuckled as took all my snacks to da counter.

"I hear ya,I hear ya. Can't say the street life gets better,but this thing called life does." He pushed my bags towards me and I picked my head up with a slight smile. I grabbed my purchased items shaking my head pointing at him laughing.

I walked out starting the small walk back to my house. I began thinking about what my whole life has been about. Drugs, killing, sleeping , depression , and pretending like non of that shit ever happened. That I was just this regular person, that I was just August. August alsina didn't steal from people. I shook my head as bit into my brownie. Who is August?

"Well well,if it isn't August." I stopped in my tracks hearing that voice as I turned around. Disguising my fear i spoke.

"Officer Ramsey, we meet again." I smirked .

"What you got for us Aug." His partner officer Taylor said walking up.

"Ya ain't my homie bruh don't call me that."

" August we know you been out here in the streets selling,killing,stealing-"

"If you know this, why won't you arrest me then hmm."

" we can. " Taylor took a step forward.

"Then that'll be making a false arrest."

" Who says your innocent? " Ramsey challenged.

"They way you two clowns harassing me for a confession because you two bozos don't have no evidence."

"You know what." Taylor grabbed me throwing me up against the wall in the corner so nobody else could see.

"Taylor no." Ramsey yelled with a failed attempt to stop his partner from ruffing me up.

"It's people like you who make it hard for people like me." He gritted through his teeth gripping the collard of my shirt.

"It's people like you,why people like me can't trust the justice system even when our own people are in it. Because it's always a brother trying to bring another brother down." I let out a deep breath as he let me go and he stared at me harshly. I coughed a little as they started walking away.

"This is not over August,you'll be seeing us." Ramsey said as he drove off. I looked at him harshly and watched the car disappear in the distance.

I picked my stuff up continuing my walk to my house. Instead of walking in I hopped In my car driving off. Stopping about a half a block away from my destination. I get out and walk up to the house. I immediately hear arguing, shaking my head knowing this wasn't something new I go to the side of the house lifting up the window. Sneaking in silently i see a sleeping Cardi. Stepping out my shoes I crawled into her bed with her. I took a deep breath and wrapped my arms around her as I could still hear the arguing. I felt her shift as she turned towards me and just stared into my eyes. She was reading me as well as I was reading her. All the hurt, pain, anger that she felt,I felt and vice versa. I pulled her into my arms and held her as she held me. Being wrapped in each other's arms the arguing seemed to become a distant memory.
