Steve Lacy x Tyler the creator

Chapter 8: It could be friendly, but will it?

*June 25th*

*12:10 pm*

I walk over to the booth and sit down. I take a deep breath before getting ready to talk.

"Tyler what the fuck are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to see how the trip was."

"You have to hurry up before someone sees us."

"Who?"

"My fucking boss."

"Alright I just came to give you something."

He puts a brown crinkled paper bag on the table. That's not what I think it is right? Nah I just seen to many action movies.

"That's not a gun right?"

I whisper to him.

"It is."

He whispers back.

"Why the fuck would I need this?"

"You will see."

He slides the gun all the way over to my side.

"What the hell I don't need this!"

"You never know that and calm down it's on safety."

"It's loaded?"

"Yeah... Also you can keep my hoodie by the way."

"Tyler!"

"Before you get mad at me, I am the one who has been keeping Frank alive."

I am confused! He gives me a gun and won't tell me why he gave it to me then he tells me he has been supporting Frank this entire time!... I can see the last part being true.

"I thought you wanted him dead?"

"I did at one point, but I think he deserves another chance."

He slides me a note before leaving the pizza shop. I never wanted to lay my hands on a gun again but now here we are. What if I do need it though? I quickly go to my car and hide the gun in the arm rest. I hope I don't get pulled over on my way back home. I come back in and find Lorenzo sitting on the counter.

"Hey Lorenzo... I thought we couldn't sit there."

"Who was that?"

"Old friend of mine."

"What's his name."

"Tyler."

Wait shit!

"Tyler?"

"No not that Tyler he is a different one... He's Jewish."

I just know I look fucking stupid. 

"Steve if you need me to handle him just say something."

"I got it under control I promise."

Lorenzo gives me a weird stare before going back to his office. I open the note Tyler gave me and it's a time and date where to meet him... At the lake... Again. I don't think Tyler is leaving anytime soon. I put the note in my pocket and go to my locker and put my work clothes on.

*8:00 pm*

I change my clothes and clock out. I walk to my car and open the arm rest looking at the gun once again. I'll really kill Tyler if I get caught with this. I drive home and I make it without getting pulled over! I take off my shirt and hide the gun inside it before making my way to my room and hiding it in my closet. I take a shower and after dig through my pockets for the note so I can throw it away. Making him upset is the last thing I want to do but I need to make him understand that it won't work again. Maybe we can just be friends.
