Lucky Number Seven

Tyson 19

I couldn't wait to tell Seven about the time I spent with my brother. Or better yet I couldn't wait for Tyree to come down here in a month so they could meet. I felt so bad not answering any of his calls, but it wasn't like I did it on purpose I left my phone in the hotel and I called as soon as I got back but kept getting sent to voicemail. I was kinda worried about that because he'd been calling me all day but when I called him back he sent me to voicemail. Maybe he was mad at me. Well if he was then I was about to find out because I just pulled up to his house. I got out the car a little nervous, damn what if he really was mad at me. I started to turn around but Seven busted out the house a ran towards me. At first I thought he was bout to hit me but he pulled me in to a tight hug and kissed the side of my head.

"Damn hello to you too." I said pulling away from him, there was something about him that was different. I mean not him physically, except for that brace on his hand but the look in his eyes. As I sat there trying to figure it out he pulled me into another hug.

"Damn I missed you." He said quietly. Even his voice sounded different. What was up.

"Seven what happened to your hand?" I asked. He avoided my gaze for a second then looked me in the eyes, before he spoke I knew he was bout to lie.

"Umm after the game......... umm everybody tackled me and............... umm Tion stepped on my hand with his cleats. But it's all good I'll be back to normal in about a week or two." Okay so now we're lying to each other. "How was your time with your brother?" He asked trying to change the subject.

"It was good, Tyree was the coolest he's 21 and in college. He really didn't want to have anything to do with my dad but he said he wanted to get to know me. I told him all about me and you, he seemed cool with it, in fact he want to meet you." Seven looked a little shocked.

"What he wanna meet me for?" Seven asked. I could tell the thought of meeting Tyree kinda made him nervous.

"Because I told him that you were the best friend I ever had and that you were the most important person in my life, so he said he wanted to meet the dude the stole my heart." I said with a smile, Seven gave me a little smile back. "Seven are you alright?" I asked.

"Yea just a lil tired, I didn't get much sleep last night being at the hospital all night." Seven lied. I started to push the matter. But Tion and Tiana walked outside and started talking to me and Seven.

"So Tyson did you take pictures?" Tiana asked.

"Yea there in the car." As me and Tiana started walking to the car Seven and Tion started arguing in loud whispers. "What's wrong with them?" I asked Tiana.

"I don't know they've been actin funny since they got back from the hospital this morning."

'Seven told me he went last night." I said looking at her.

"Yeah right Seven's ass was at Raymond's party last night." I looked at Seven and Tion still arguing and started wondering what really happened with Seven.

"Tyson are you even listening let's go put these damn pictures on Facebook." Tiana said, we started walking past Seven and Tion and I decided to see how far Seven was going to go with his lies.

"Tion I really don't appreciate you stepping on my baby's hand." I said joking with him. I looked at Seven and I finally figured out what was different about his eyes. There was guilt in them.

"I'm sorry Ty, maybe if Seven learned to keep his hands to himself shit like that wouldn't happen." Tion said looking at him.

"Fuck you T, let's just go get my fuck pain pills." Seven said walking off pissed. Tion followed with a satisfied look on his face. I walked to Tiana room and tried to figure out what the hell was going on. I logged on to Facebook to put the pictures of me and Tyree on there when I saw I had a friend request. I clicked the box to see who it was and got the shock of my life. RAYMOND GETITGIRL GAINES. Me and Tiana looked at each other.

"What the fuck is he trying to add you for?" Tiana asked.

"I don't know, he probably wants to start some shit." I said slightly amused.

"So are you going to accept it?" Tiana asked. Of course I wasn't me and Raymond weren't friends, in fact I couldn't stand him...... But Seven was at his party maybe he had pictures of Seven, could just see if Seven had the brace last night. I was so confused, what should I do ACCEPT or IGNORE.
