SIMONE P.O.V.

I ran out to the front door as soon as I heard the doorbell go off. I unlocked the door as fast as I could and took a sigh of relief once I seen Kerri and Ellis standing there. "Hey, did y'all get it?" Ellis nodded as he handed me the small walgreens bag.

"See, you wouldn't need this if you just used them condoms I gave you." I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, thanks y'all, I'll be at the shop later today, I have to help August with his therapy today." Kerri nodded. "Alright, we'll see you."

I gave both of them quick hugs and shut the door. I sped walked into the kitchen, grabbing a glass and filling it with faucet water. I hated drinking out of the faucet, but right now I didn't even care. I opened up the wagreens bag and pulled out the Plan B One step pills.

I tore the box open and pulled out the row of pills. I quickly opened one and popped it into my mouth, before drinking the water and swallowing it. quickly stuffing the row of pills back in the box. I stuck it back in the bag and wrapped it up. "What you doin?" I froze in place once I heard Augusts' voice.

I turned back around, holding the bag behind my back. "..I didn't know you were up...what are you doing walking around? Your suppose to be resting your leg." He frowned. "...I gotta start my therapy this morning....and I went to the weight room and you wasn't in there....Aliyah's at School?" I nodded.

"Yeah she is....look...let me finish in here and Im coming in a minute." He lifted a brow and nodded towards me. "What's behind your back?" I shook my head. "Nothing, just go sit down in the weight room, Im coming." He slowly limped over to me, trying to look behind my back.

I slowly move to the side, trying to get away from him. He quickly reached behind me and grabbed the walgreens bag out of my hands. I sighed. "Really?"

He leaned up on the counter and opened the bag, pulling out the box. He frowned as he read the front of it. "What is this?" I sighed. "A emergency contraceptive." He dropped the box on the counter and looked at me. "Like them day after pills and shit?" I nodded.

"Why you takin that?" I slowly frowned. "Um....becuase...we didn't use a condom last night." I said, whispering the last part. He shrugged. "And? When have we ever used condoms?" I was slightly taken aback at the tone he was using with me.

"....We never have...but you didn't pull out." He shrugged again. "So?" I frowned. "So...I could get pregnant." He motioned for me to continue. "What's so bad about that??" I held my hand up, confused. "You really think we should bring a baby into our situation right now?? We're barely getting by with Aliyah, besides, were not even a good enough space to even think about having another child."

He nodded slowly. "I'll be in the weight room." I could tell by how he turned around and left, that he was upset about me taking the pill. But I knew I was right. There's no way in hell I woud want to be pregnant right now with everything that's going on. And I didn't wanna be one of those nieve girls who think having a baby will automatically make everything okay again.

I put the box of pills back in the bag and threw it under the sink where I knew nobody would look. I walked out of the kitchen and made my way over to the other side of the house where our mini gym was. I pushed open the glass doors and walked over to August, who was sitting on one of the small resting benches.

"....You ready?" He ignored me and stood up, placing his headphones in his ears. I sighed and grabbed his arm, trying to help him over to the treadmill, but he pulled back from me and slowly walked himself.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, since I've been doing so well with my anger lately. Once he finally got up on the treadmill, I started it up and he began to walk slowly. "If your leg starts hurting, or you get tired, let me know." He didn't say anything, but I knew he heard me because he turned the music up on his iPod.

I walked back over to one of the small benches and took a seat. I honestly didn't know why he was so upset about the pills, it's not like Im pregnant, and just preventing it. I knew he must have been still been mad about last night, but I was willing to put my attitude aside to help him out today, so could atleast do the same.

My phone vibrated in my back pocket, causing me to jump a little. I took my eyes off of August and grabbed my phone, looking down at the screen. I smirked a little once I seen I had a text from Sean.

SEAN(10:12am)-Hope your takin time for yourself, hit me up soon.

My smirk turned into a full smile as I read his message over again. Just then, I heard a loud thud, causing me to look up from my phone. "You alright?" I stood up and dropped my phone on the bench, speed walking over to August.

I bent down on my knees and grab his hands, trying to help him up, but he let my hands go. "Can you stop acting so childish and let me help you." I reached out for him again and he pulled back from me. I threw my hands up and sighed.

"I can get up on my own." He put his weight on his good leg and took his time getting up from the floor. Once he stood up straight, so did I. "Why are you being so hostile?? I know you can't be this mad over some damn pills."

He nodded. "Your right,it ain't just about the pills.It's about last night, and It's about everything else I've been dealing with with you, the pills was just the last straw." I frowned and placed my hands on my hips. "Excuse me?"

"You lost our first child, you damn near aborted Aliyah, and now you trying make sure you don't have another baby by me?? I guess I shouldn't be so shocked." I frowned and scoffed.

"Excuse me??? Slow your roll before you say something you'll regret." He shook his head. "Im not gon regret anything ma." I paused before speaking, trying to let my anger die down.

"First of all, stop throwing the miscarriage of our first child in my face, that was not my fault and I did not lose the baby on purpose. Second, I was scared when I was pregnant with Aliyah, and I wasn't thinking right. And third, It's not like Im pregnant and Im trying to get a abortion, I just don't feel like we should bring a baby into our mess."

He fanned me off. "Whatever, you always got a excuse for some shit, you can miss me with all that." He put his headphones back in his ears and walked over to the Leg lifter, starting his leg raises. I walked over to him and pulled one of his headphones out of his ears.

"Hold up, your the one that's injured meaning, your the one that needs help. Im in this room trying to help you, putting myself and my attitude on the back burner and this is how your gunna talk to me???" He snatched his headphone out of my hand and nodded. "You damn right."

I tried taking a deep breath to calm myself down, but it was no use. I snatched up his headphones as quick as I could and sent his iPod flying into the wall. "The fuck is wrong with you?!!" He yelled.

"You!! Your what's wrong!!" He stood up from his machine, looking like he was about to explode any second. "You always doin some dumb shit!!" He yelled again. He walked over to the double doors, pushing them both open, making them fly back into the wall.

I jumped a little at how hard he pushed the doors. I stood in the middle of the room, feeling my eyes burn, my chest began to heave up and down, but I didn't wanna break down in cry again. Once I felt the first hot tear roll down my cheek, I quickly wiped it away.

I sped walked out of the weight room and made my way back over to the other side of the house and up the stairs. I pushed open the guest room door, to see August no where In sight. I turned around and walked into our bedroom, to see it empty.

I wiped my face again as I walked into our closet, pulling out one of my suitcases. At this point I was knocking everything in the closet over, but I didn't even care. I threw the suitcase back on the bad and unzipped it.

I opened up one of my drawers and pulled out a armful of clothes, throwing it into the suitcase. "Ms.Simone, what is going on??!" Once I heard Brutus' voice behind me, I started to cry even more. "Im leaving." I said through my tears. I walked as fast as I could back an d forth from the closet to the suitcase, throwing whatever I could inside.

"Leaving? What's going on? Mr.Alsina just went for a walk, he looked extremely upset." I wiped my face and shook my head. "Don't worry about it Brutus." He grabbed my arm and pulled me back. "Slow down and tell me what happend."

I shook my head while I cried."I can't, I just have to go." I threw a few more things into my suitcase before zipping it. "Ms.Simone you can't leave, what about August?? And Aliyah??"

"August doesn't need me." I started. "And I'll make sure Aliyah's taken care of." I pulled my suitcase off the bed and grabbed the seperation papers off my nightstand. I drug my suitcase fast as I could down the stairs before making my way down to the front door.

"Talk to me and tell me what is going on." Brutus said, following me out to my car. I threw my suitcase in the backseat and got into the car. Once I started up the car, he ran over to my window, trying to stop me. "When are you coming back??" I shrugged. "I don't know."

I reached over and grabbed a loose piece of paper and a began and began to write. Once I was done, I wiped my eyes and handed Brutus the piece of paper. "Give this to August for me." He sighed and nodded. "Alright...be safe." I nodded and backed up out of the driveway and through the gates, taking off down the street.

******************************

AUGUST P.O.V.

I took a deep breath before stepping back into the house. I had been gone for about two hours, but it was needed. I got a chance to calm down, and also a chance to work out my knee. I closed the door behind me and began to walk up the stairs, when I heard Aliyah's bedroom door open.

"Hey daddy." I smiled. "Wassup munchkin?" She shook her head. "I've been waiting on you guys to get home, where's mommy??" I frowned. "....She's not here?" She shook her head no. "No, I thought you guys went somewhere together."

I sighed softly. "Oh...um....I-" My sentence was cut off from the sound of Brutus' voice. "Mommy had to leave, she'll be back soon." Aliyah frowned. "What's soon?" She asked looking between Brutus and I.

"I don't know, but Im sure she'll call you." She sighed and nodded. "Alright....will you come tuck me in?" I nodded. "Ight, give me a minute." She nodded and stepped back into her bedroom, shutting the door.

I looked up at Brutus, who was motioning for me to step into the guest room. Once we both were inside, he took a deep breath before speaking. "Ms.Simone left." I frowned. "Left? What you mean left??"

"...She packed some clothes and left." I took a deep breath and ran a hand down my face. "She told you where she was going?" He shook his head no. "No, but she told me to give this to you." He reached in his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. I quickly took it from him and began to read it to myself.

 I've called Kelsey and she's coming to stay until I get back to help out with Aliyah while your healing. Stasia will be by the house everday to get her for school and Im sure Brutus will help out with whatever else.

I crumbled the note in my hand and shook my head. "What the hell am I suppose to tell Aliyah?? You know how smart she is, how am I suppose to tell her, that her mom up and left??" I whispered. Brutus nodded. "I know, I suggest you tell her Simone went out of town on business, and we'll figure out the rest." I sighed, not believing this.

"Alright, let me go tuck her in...thanks for having my back." He nodded. I turned around and made my way into Aliyah's bedroom.
