We get love too (BoyxBoy)

Chp-24

I laid on Devon chest as my head slightly moved up and down as he exhaled and inhaled. His heartbeat was steady; so steady that it would easily put me to sleep. It was only 3 hours ago with the Anthony situation and my out burst.

It was my fault. I should have never answered the phone in the first place nor believe Anthony about the stabbing.
Why am I so stupid?
This is a really good relationship. Devon is the best boyfriend I ever had. I can't believe that I thought Devon could do such a thing.
He may have anger issues, but not bad enough to kill someone. Right?

I looked up at Devon's peaceful face.

'Gosh, he's so handsome.' I thought. I slowly got out of his tight hold on me and laid on the other side of him so I was on my side looking at his sex God body.

"It's not nice to stare." Devon fluttered his eyes open and turned his head to look at me.
"Then I must be really mean." I smiled.
He chuckled. "Why you so far away?"
"I'm not, I'm like 5 inches away from you."

"I'm cold." He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his chest. Let me rephrase: His toned chest.
"There's blankets." I said into his chest that still smell like dove soap.
"That won't warm me up like you do." he slurred as he was falling back to sleep.

I tried to push away, but his arms around me got tighter every time. I sighed in defeat and enjoyed the comfort from his arms.
----------------------

I walked down the long white and cold hallway before turning into his room. Anthony was dressed and trying to ease his way out of bed.
"Why isn't a nurse helping you?" I said as I helped him up.
"I told them that you was coming."
I rolled my eyes. "I can't take you home."

"Why not?"
I sighed. "Because you lied to me. I don't even know why I'm here."
"Because you have a kind heart, that's why you're here."
"Where's your mother?"
We walked out the room. "At work."
I sucked my teeth. "Don't you have anyone else to take you home?"
"No William." he snapped. He sighed and turned to me. "You and my mother is the only people that know that I'm here. Can you please take me home."

I put a hand on my forehead. "Fine."
"Thank you."
We walked out the hospital and to my car. I help Anthony in the car, after closing the door I jogged to my side of the car. I got in and started the engine.

"I didn't lie." Anthony comments.
I glanced at him and back at the road. "Yes you did."
"How would you tell me? I know what I saw and Devon tried to kill me."
"Devon did no such thing. You was dosed with pain medicine, you was just hallucinated."

"I wasn't!" He yelled.
"Yes you was! Listen, I know you want me back but I will never go back with you."
Anthony sucked his teeth. "Like your ass don't want me back either."
My eyes widen. "I don't!"
"Then why are you taking me home, specifically when your boyfriend told you not to."

"Because-"

Truthfully, I don't know. When I was helping Anthony, it felt like I was back in 10th grade. Maybe because it was a kind of nurse and patient spark. I really don't know.

"Because what?"
"Because I'm being nice."
"Nice my ass."
I scrunched up my face. "I can take you back to the hospital. Do you want me to do that?"
He sucked his teeth and leaned back in the seat without saying a word.

The rest of the car ride was silent until I pulled up in front of his house.
"You don't need to help me." he said as he unbuckled his seatbelt.
"Are you sure?"
He nod. "Yeah. Thanks."
"Be careful. I don't want you coming to my door stabbed or shot up."
He chuckled and nod.

"What's so funny?" I asked.
He shrugged. "You always have a warm heart."
I shrugged. "What can I say, I like to help others."
"Bye William."
"Bye Anthony." He got out the car as he slowly walk to his front door and walk inside.

As soon as I drove off my backup phone went off.
"Hello." I said after I put it on speaker.
Gia and Sean voices filled up the car. "Hey bitch." they said in a unison.
"Where you at?" Sean ghetto self said.
"I'm in the car and on my way to my house. Why?"
"Because we are all going to a party." Gia said."

"What party?" I asked.
"Franks." Sean said.
I shook my head like they can see me. "I'm not going."
"Why not?" They both said.
"One word: Drama."
"Bitch, you're coming." Sean said.
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are." Gia said.

"No!" I yelled.
"Yes!" They both yelled.
I rolled my eyes and huffed in defeat, knowing that I will never win this disagreement. "Fine."
Both of them squealed. "I knew he would give in." Sean said.
"Do you want us to pick you up?" Gia asked.

"No, if the party sucks then I can drive my self home." I parked the car in my drive way before turning off the engine.
"Okay, we'll see you later hun." Sean said.
"Bye." Gia added.
"Bye." I ended the call and lean back in my seat. I rubbed my eyes and sighed.

That's when I realized the driveway is empty. "Where's my mother?"
I grabbed my phone and failed her number before putting the phone to my ear. The call went straight to voice mail.
"What? Why isn't she answering? She's supposed to be back two days ago." I said to myself.
I sailed her number again and this time she answers. "Mom?"

"Hey sweetie. What's up?" I heard loud music in the background.
"Are you still in London?"
"Oh yeah, I'll be back Friday. Is everything alright?" The music faded in the background.
I closed my eyes and rubbed my head.

"Everything is not normal. I think Devon tried to kill Anthony and I think I still have feelings for my ex boyfriend. I need my mother to guide me right now; to tell me what to do and comfort me with her hugs"

That's what I wanted to say, but instead I said. "I just got worried, you know how I am." I chuckled to break my uneasiness.

"William, I can leave earl-"
I cut her off. "-No mom, have fun."
"Are you sure?"
No. "Yes."
She sighed. "Okay, I'll call tomorrow."
I of as if she can see me. "Okay. Talk to you later."
"Bye."
"Bye." I hanged up the phone and threw it in the passenger seat. I put both hands on my face.

"Get yourself together, William." I said to myself. I removed my hands and pulled the flap down above me to look in the mirror.
"Whatever Anthony told you is a lie and you do not have feelings for him. All that love for Anthony is locked away in a dungeon with a dragon guarding it. It is impossible to get it. It was just a quick spark." I told myself while looking at the small mirror.

"Yeah, a spark." I agreed with myself.

A ping of my phone took my out of my monologue. I picked my phone up and went to the message sent by Anthony.

'You have to believe me after this.' he sent with a video attached. Without thinking I clicked the video.

It was Anthony and some other guy standing outside by their cars smoking weed, I think. This kind of looks familiar. The parking lot that they was in is by the cemetery that Devon mother is buried in and 5 minutes away from my house.

Just on cue a guy walked up to Anthony and the other guy. The other guy gave Anthony dap and went into his car before driving off.

My eyes was focused on the screen the whole time while Anthony and the other guy shared words. I think Anthony said something because the other guy took out a switch blade and stabbed Anthony twice in the side.

I gasped and covered my mouth. I watch as Anthony stumbled away from the guy. When Anthony got out from camera view, the guy turned and looked up probably on accident.

I squint my eyes and paused the video to zoom in. Once I saw his face, my world turned upside down.
"Devon? Omg, it is him."
I exit out the video and texted Anthony:

'Where did you get this?'

I wiped the tears that escaped my eyes. Seconds later he text back.

'I know someone.'

I put my phone on my lap. "He lied to me. Why would he do this?"

I grabbed my phone and texted Gia and Sean in the group chat that I wasn't feeling well and I can't make it to the party.

That question stayed in my head for the rest of the night...
