"Devon....."
When he said that name my heart stopped. I was about to say something but Anthony instantly was affected with the gas they gave him. I huffed and sat back down in the chair.

It's not true..... Devon wouldn't do this..... Maybe it's the gas talking. Maybe Anthony is just mad about the relationship and thought of the first name that came to his mind. Or Devon really did try to kill Anthony, out of hatred....

I shook my head. "No. He wouldn't do this." I said to myself. Anthony light snores filled the room as I sat in the chair and stared at the four walls thinking about what I just heard. It wasn't long till sleep took over.

I woke up to a pillow being thrown at my head. I groaned as I stood up and stretched. I looked at my phone and it was 10 in the morning. "Good morning to you.. The birds are chirping." Anthony song as he took a bite of his cereal.
"Where did you get that?" I asked.
"My mother got it from the cafeteria. She got you some too." he tossed me a tiny apple jacks box and a container of milk.

"Thanks." I mumbled.
I looked at Anthony as he was eating and watching Maury. "Anthony?." I called.
"Yeah." he kept his eyes glued on the tv.
"Do you remember anything from last night?"
He turned to me. "Y-"

"Hello William." Ms. Zora walked into the room with one of her smiles that cover up her true feelings.
"Hi Ms. Zora."
"Thank you for saving Anthony."
I shook my head. "No problem. I should get going."
"Non sense. Besides I have to get to work anyway, so how bout you stay here and keep Anthony some company." she suggested.

"Um. Okay, if that's good with Anthony." I looked at him and he glanced at both of us before looking back at the tv.
"That's a yes in my books." Ms. Zora chuckled. "I'll see you later Anthony." she kissed him on the cheeks.
"Bye Ma." he said.
"Bye Ms. Zora."
"Bye William." she grabbed her stuff and walked out the room.

I grabbed a chair and set it right next to Anthony bed before sitting down. "Do you remember?"
He turned off the tv and looked at me. "Yes."
"Are you sure it was him?"
Anthony nod. "Yes."
My breath was caught in my throat. "I-I don't believe you."
He sighed and carefully turned his body towards me. "I know you're hurting but it's true. Your boyfriend stabbed me."

I shook my head. "I can't believe this."
"William I'm not saying be mad- well I am saying be mad but I don't hold it against you. I know where Devon is coming from and I won't try to stab him but if he do this shit again, I won't keep any promises."
I nod. "I should go. I'll be back."
"Okay. Thanks again for helping me."
I slightly smiled. "No problem. Bye."
"Bye."
I moved the chair back in the right spot and walked out the room, hospital and to my car.

I sat in my car for the past 30 minutes in thinking how I should confront Devon in this situation.
Should I just blurt it out or just ease my way into it? I don't want to come off strong. But first I need to clean myself. Maybe I can think everything over in the shower, I'm always a good thinker in the shower.

I started up the engine and drove out of the parking lot. I drove home to get something to eat, brush my teeth, take a shower and take a cat nap on the couch considering that I did not get a good night rest last night on the uncomfortable chair.
After taking the cat nap, I got up and grabbed all my stuff before texting Devon I was coming over. I went to my car, started the engine and drove off to Devon house with anger, confusion and tiredness in the back seat of my car waiting to show theirselves.

Once I arrived to Devon house I parked my car on the curb, turned off the engine and got out with the aggressive slam of my door and a lock. I stormed up to the front door and knocked in the door, not to loud because Tyrese is probably still sleep. Seconds later Devon opened the door with a wife beater, red basketball shorts on and Nike sandals with white socks of course.

"Hey babe." he greeted as I stepped inside.
"Where's Tyrese?"
"Upstairs sleep. Why?"
I grabbed Devon hand and lead him downstairs in the basement so Tyrese won't hear out conversation. Once we was downstairs I turned to him with a evil glare.

"Where were you last night?"
"At the shop." he said smoothly.
I scoffed. "I thought you was home."
"When I texted you I was home. Why are you asking this?"
I cross my arms in front of my chest and looked around the cold semi dark basement with one window that brings some light in.

"You think I'm cheating?" He asked.
I glared at him. "No."
"Then what is it?"
I took a deep breath. "Anthony was stabbed last night."
"Um okay. What does that got to do with me?"
"He told me you did it."

Devon raised an eyebrow. "Do you believe him?"
I didn't say anything but stared at Devon with caution as different emotions spread across his face. "Are you fucking kidding me?" He said in a calm voice.
"Devon-"

"No. How you know that nigga ain't lying?" He said with aggression as he step closer to me, but I stepped back while trying to keep my distance.
"That's why I'm here, asking you."
Devon shook his head. "No, I did not stab Anthony. I was at the shop till 10, came home at 12, I called you at 1 close to 2 and left back out the house to my mothers grace at 3. When was Anthony stabbed?"

I shrugged. "It seem like sometime at 1 close to 2."
"I didn't stab him William. Now the real question is who actually stabbed him and why did he come directly at your house, why not the neighbors or a family member. Why was he even in your neighborhood? Considering that it's filled with old people."

"I-I don't know. I'm sorry that I assumed it was you." I said as I stepped closer to him.
He rubbed his face. "If I really did stabbed that lying piece of shit, what would you have done?"
I looked deep into his brown eyes and said the words that first popped up in my head. "I would look at you differently."
He sighed. "I guess I would look at myself differently too."

"Devon, I'm so sorry." I grabbed his hand and made him move closer to me. "Do you forgive me?" I put on my puppy dog eyes.
He sucked his teeth. "I guess."
"That's not saying you forgive me."
"I don't know if I should forgive you if you had more trust in your ex than me."

"It was a misunderstanding."
"So the fuck what. We supposed to have trust William, that's the number 1 rule of this relationship and you broke it."
I put my hand on his bare upper forearm. "I'll make it up to you."
"How?"
"I'll show you." I got on my tippy toes and kisses his neck.

"Devon, where you at?" Tyrese yelled.
Devon sucked his teeth. "I'm in the basement." he yelled.
The basement door opened and Tyrese walked downstairs with a confused look on his face. "Sup William."
"Hi Tyrese."
"Why y'all down here?" He asked.

"We're bout to come back up." Devon said.
Tyrese glanced at us again. "Aight. I'm going to the shop."
"Okay." Devon said.
Tyrese walked back upstairs. Devon looked down at me with a smirk. "So how are you going to show me?"
I smiled. "You'll see, after breakfast. I love you." I peck his lips.
"I love you too." he said against my lips.
