"Yo, August you good" Rai said
"Yeah I'm alright" August said putting his crutch down
"Who even was that guy?" Rai said
"Like I know his name but who is he, guess I'll ask Alder" Rai said grabbing the crutch
"Anyway, how's your mom" Rai asked
"She's doing alright she is not too happy about me getting hurt, told her you and me were fighting some frats" August said
"Ouuu, is your dad gonna see her soon" Rai asked
"I'll ask him, but I don't know" August said
"What's up, Flynn" August said
"Where the hell were you" Rai asked
"Uhm, helping, Elysia set up" Flynn said
"You could've told me I would've helped" August said
The two guys stared at him
"Yo, what's your deal with her anyway" Rai said
"She's cool she saved my dad, and I was rude to her so yeah" August said
"Alright if you say so" Rai said
"Did she say anything about her parents" August asked
"No, but she said she has more information at home" Flynn said
"So let's go to her house" August said
"And you don't like her?" Rai said
"Well, August you go on ahead and do that, I'm busy later on today" Rai said
"Yeah and I gotta go flip pizzas" Flynn said mimicking making a pizza
"Don't act like you aren't happy, August" Rai said
"Yeah, dude we know you like her" Flynn said grabbing a seat
"Guys, she saved my dad's life, and I was really never in my dad's life, because my mom" August said
"So I have a chance to know my dad now" August said
"Well good luck man" Rai said hitting August's back
"Well I'm going to go find her and see if she'll lee come over" August said
"Good luck" Flynn said
"Hey, hey, hey hey Elysia" August said walking beside her
"Hey, August" She said smiling
"You need something" She asked
"Nah, nah I wanted to know if I could come over to help you in finding your parents" He said smiling
"Awwww, August that would be so nice" She said hugging him
"But I have so much work, so could we do it later" She said
"Do what" August said smiling
"Uhm, look for my parents" She said
"Wow, guys are horrible listeners" She said laughing
"Oh sure, sure yeah, wait as a matter of fact, I can help you" He said
"Haha,. Oh no no, you can't do my work, August" She said laughing
"Well, that seems a bit insulting" August said
"I'm kidding" She said putting her arm around him and laying her head on his shoulder
"Hey, how's your leg" She asked
"Oh it's better" She said
"Oh, I shouldn't be lying on you like this, I forgot" She said getting up
"NO, NO, NO it's fine" He said
"Ok" She said
"Well it seems I have to get to class" She said
"I can walk you" He said
"August" She said giving him a strange look
"Go to the library and help Flynn, he said you guys don't help him as often, I felt so bad, you guys are friends help each other" She said
"Alright alright" He said
"Hey why you getting all soft on Elysia" August said to Flynn
"I ain't, she just likes to help people, dude chill" Flynn said madly
"And What are you doing" August asked
"math" Flynn said
"Don't you need help" August asked
"Well no, not really" Flynn said
"But you are always asking for help" August said
"Well, yeah, but when you guys were fighting, I got help from, Elys" Flynn said
"Elys, you call her that, she helped you???" August
Said
"Is there a problem, August" Flynn said
"Is there a problem?" August repeated silently to himself
"I don't know" He said playing with his zipper
"It's so crazy how water is universal and useful for all but so many people have no access to it" Elysia said
"Yeah, that's why one day I'm going to help out disadvantaged people here in our country and around the world" Gabriel said
"Why would she help Aug-
"I believe in you" she said hugging Gabriel
"What the he-" August said
"Hey" Gabriel said walking out the room
"ELYSIA!!!" August yelled
"Ahh" Elysia let out a gentle but loud scream
"August what was that for, are you crazy why are you scaring me" She said
"So you let Flynn call you nicknames, now? And you're hugging other guys now, what's next you and Rai?" August said
"Woah woah woah woah woah, what the hell are you talking about, you weirdo" She said
"Weirdo?" August said
"First of all, Flynn is just as much my friend as you are mine and Rai too, and second of all, that guy Gabriel he is my little cousin, by a month" She said
"Does that answer all of your questions, no wonder you are so desperate to come to my house, you just want to get close to me in hopes that I go along with your sick thoughts and actions" She said
"And here I thought I had a friend who was.... Willing to help me" She said tearing up
"But you just wanted to-" She pushed him out of the way and stormed out of the room
"Elysia I didn't mean it like that" August said yelling
"Damn damn damn damn damn it" August said punching a desk
"Ring ring
" welcome to - oh hey, August" Flynn said
"Why the long face?????" He asked
"Bro, I fucked up" He said crying
"Oh shit, you're crying" Flynn said coming from behind the counter
"What happened?" Flynn asked
"So I was watching Elysia to go find her again" August said
"You were watching her?" Flynn said
"Not like that, and and I saw this guy with her, and I kinda like, yelled at her, basically getting upset that she let you call her a nickname and let that guy hug her" August said
"Woah man, you really fucked up, I wouldn't be surprised if she never acknowledges your existence again" Flynn said
"Dude" August said
"Anyway, the guy was her cousin too" August said
"Not gonna lie man, you deserved that" Flynn said
"You can't just get mad at the girl, she isn't dating you, and she has a right to make her own decisions" Flynn said
"She's never talking to you again" Flynn said
"I know" He said putting his head down and. Tearing up
"Hey man I'll make you a pizza" Flynn said
"Ring ring
" hello welcome, hello Rai" Flynn said
Rai walked by a table with a guy crying
"You good man" He said
The guy put his head up, and answered no
"Oh, August, dude what are you crying for" Rai said laughing
"Basically he fucked up his chances with Elysia" Flynn said putting the pizza down
"I knew it" Rai said
"Huh"
Elysia packed up all of her things and walked home
She stopped at her favorite shop and bought somethings
"I can't believe August is like that" She said
"I mean I really thought he was different, she said, how could I be so stupid" She said getting a little mad
Step step
Elysia began to speed up hearing footprints behind her
"Hey!!" A man said
"Ah, hey" She said smiling
"Now" the man said
"Mmmphhmhph" someone put their hand over Elysia's mouth
"You are friends with those boys" The man said
"Where are they" the man said
"I don't know please I need to do this work" She said
"Do it in here" The man said
"I have no space" She said
"Don't talk to me like that, little girl" The man said
"Could you tell this one to stop looking at me" Elysia asked
"No, it makes you nervous" He said
"What do you want" She asked
"I want you" He said
"I will kill you if you touch me" She said
"I want your power not your body" He said
"Even you're are better than a guy who I thought was my friend" She said
"Perhaps you little girls should focus on work rather than boys" He said
"But I am going to have to kill you" He said
"No, please" She said
"You have healing power that's useful to me" He. Said laughing
"Knock knock"
"Hello, August is that you I thought I gave you a key?" Charlotte said giggling
"Charlotte?" Nicholas said
"Oh- Nicholas" Charlotte said
"Nicholas, what the hell are you doing at my door" She said
"I just wanted to see, August, dear" he said
"Don't call me dear" She said
"And how the hell did you know where August lives" She asked
"You are in touch with, August" She said her eyes beginning to glow
"You have no reason to speak with him" She said
"You know what, he's over 18 Charlotte you can't keep the boy stupid for ever" Nicholas said
"You have no room to talk, I STAYED WITH HIM YOU WALKED OUT ON HIM, YOU DID AND I TOOK CARE OF HIM" she said
"I have you many chances and everytime you had " something " to do, you never loved the boy, and you didn't raise him, I DID, SO DO YOUR SON AND ME A FAVOR AND GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE " she said
"Charlotte"
"LEAVE!!!!"
"Dad?"
"Dad what are you doing, you are coming from me and mom's house" He said confused
"Son, I'm leaving" He said
"Leaving what??" August asked
"This place" he said
"What the hell, but you said you weren't" August said
"Son, I met your mother" He said
"She didn't take it well" August asked
"No, no she didn't" Nicholas said
"But, dad I need you, something bad actually happened today" He said
"Son, I'm sorry" He said
"August ran home
"AUGUST!!!!!" Charlotte said
"Yeah, mom" He asked
"Have you been in touch with your dad, how did you know where to find him" She said
"I didn't really he kinda just found me, when we were on the trip for your medicine" He said
"Mom, why don't you want me to know dad" He asked
"Because I raised you on my own, your dad could've helped but he was always so busy and even when he wasn't he never spent time with you" She said
"But he loves you I'm sure, I just don't want to see you hurt" She said hugging August
"Mom, dad just said he's leaving will you two please make it right, I need both of you in my life right now, if you don't mind may I go upstairs" He said
Charlotte looked upstairs and frowned
