Lucky Number Seven

Tyson 15

Me and Seven spent the whole ride in silence, it was killing me not knowing what he was thinking. I had a lot going through my head right now too. This was a lot to take in in one night, seeing Fabian, my dad offering Seven $30,000, and Seven turning it down, and most shocking enough finding out a had a brother. Maybe I should have stayed with my parents and talked some more about this, there is a lot of things that I needed answers to. Seven kept looking out the window, he wouldn't even look at me and I'm not going to lie it was kinda pissing me off. He usually shares everything with me now he just won't talk. I decided to say something the tension was killing me.

"Seven you are you alright." I asked. He didn't say anything he just kept staring out the window. I was really starting to get pissed. "Seven what is wrong with you answer me." I said grabbing his hand.

"Stop fuckin grabbin me I'm tryin to drive." He said quietly. His voice was low, like we was trying to hide the anger in it but I knew him all to well. I knew that my parents had pissed him off.

"Seven why aren't you talking to me, if I did anything to make you mad let me know now." Seven pulled over to an empty parking lot and just looked at me.

"You think I'm mad at you?" He said.

"Well you aren't talking to me so I figured I pissed you off."

"Tyson I'm not mad at you it's everything that's happened tonight. I'm starting to think your dad is right about me, I'll never be good enough for you. But that's okay because I'm done tryin to live up to their standards." None of what he was saying was making any sense to me.

"Seven what are you talkin about?" I asked.

"Tyson from here on out I'm done worrying about your parents. The only thing that matters in my life is you, my family, and sports. I cant keep lettin your parents stress me out."

"So your not mad at me?" I asked tryin not to smile.

"Of course not you my babe." He said smiling at me.

"Yeah whatever, I bet you mad ass fuck you didn't take that money."

"Fuck yea, I mean I love you in everything but that's a lot of fuckin money. But it's too late to worry about now the only thing that I'ma focus on is my last game next Friday. You gonna be there right?" He said looking at me.

"Of course. I wouldn't miss it for the world." I said. He started the car back up and drove to his house it was like eleven so I figured nobody was up, but when we got there Tion, Tiana, and Lesha were sitting on the couch watching T.V.

"Happy Birthday Tyson." Tiana said getting up and hugging me.

"Thanks sup Lesha can't speak?" I asked. Who was so busy kissing Tion that she didn't speak.

"Nope." She said, and went back to kissing Tion.

"Whatever." Seven sat down on the couch and I sat between his legs.We sat there watching T.V. when I got a text from my dad. I words shocked the hell outta me. I needed to talk to Lesha and Tiana. "Seven, Tion can ya'll excuse us for a minute?" I asked. Tiana rolled her eyes. She knew what I was trying to do.

"Look quit beatin around the bush I know you wanna talk to me and Lesha, sooooo Lesha get your tongue outta Tion' mouth, and Tyson get from between Seven's legs and come on we need to leave so we can talk." I started to get up and Seven pulled me back down.

"Where you going?" He asked in my ear.

"Damn Seven, we're going to the store, let him breathe." Tiana said.

"I'll be right back." I said kissing him on the cheek. I knew he didn't want me to leave but I needed to talk to Tiana and Lesha about what just had happen. After I told them they just looked at me.

"So you tell me you got a brother?" Lesha asked.

"Yep." I said.

"And your dad is taking you to Chicago next Friday to meet him?" Tiana said.

"The same day as my baby's last high school football game?" Lesha asked.

"Yes." I said getting mad.

"So are you going to go?" Tiana asked.

"I don't know, should I?" I asked both of them.

"It's up to you, do you wanna miss Seven's biggest game?" Lesha asked.

"I mean it's your brother. Me personally I would go, but that's only because I'm single." I was stuck, all my life I wanted a brother or sister and now I had a chance to meet one I never knew I had but it was on my babe's biggest day. What should I do?
