Steve Lacy x Tyler the creator

Chapter 4: When it rains it pours, I promise.

*May 24th 12:00 pm*

*Steve's POV*

They finally finish stapling and stitching my back and start to wrap it. I was lucky enough to be asleep the entire time while they did it. My mom then woke me up.

"Okay baby there done... do you need anything else?"

She said as she rubbed my head. I told her no and again she asked me what happened. I don't remember but for sure I know who did it. How the fuck does he keep finding me? Someone has to be his mole. Syd then enters the room holding my phone. 

"You okay Steve?"

Syd says.

"Yeah I'm okay. Where is Matt?"

"He had some shit to deal with, but I got some bad news."

"What is it now?"

"Ashanti is out of town."

What the fuck she never told me this?!

"She never fucking told me how you find out?"

My mom gave me that look of disappointment when I said fucking, she hates when I say any sort of profanity. I apologize and hope she lets it go.

"She sent you a paragraph."

"Give me that."

Syd handed me my phone and I started to read what Ashanti sent me. She claimed she went on a last-minute family trip and didn't find out until she got home that night. After that she kept saying how she was sorry, and she wanted to talk about what she found under my pillow. I tell her it's fine and we can talk when I get home and she returns from her trip.

"So, what you say?"

"Whatever I had to stop being nosey."

"I didn't read the text the least you can do is tell me."

I wanted to tell Syd but if my mom found out about what I was doing she would probably kill me before Tyler can.

"Fine I'll show you la-"

"I want to see it."

My mom randomly chimed in now wanting to see the message. As I went to hand it to her my phone died right in my hands. Maybe the universe does have my back.

"I guess later?"

They both grunted and changed the conversation. Then out of nowhere my mom starts to touch my neck.

"Where you did you get this?"

Ashanti gave me a fucking hickey I forgot about it!

"I got bit by a bug when I was outside."

"Not that. These marks."

I signaled to Syd to get out of the room since shit was about to get real. The rope marks which I barely hid made my neck red and bumpy. The marks didn't even show last night why now?

"Oh that? I-I had an allergic reaction."

"You aren't allergic to anything! Where did this fucking come from?"

She was mad and worried at the same time I could see it written all over her face.

"Alright fine. At the party me and this boy started fighting and he choked me out."

"You never said you had a party?"

"We went out."

She knows I am lying. Why won't this end already?!

"Steve, you have one more time to tell me the truth."

"Alright alright... We had a party at our house, and I got into a fight with this boy, he choked me out and Matt and Syd broke up the fight."
