Lucky Number Seven

Izayah 38

I sat in my car waiting for Tyson to bring his ass out his house. I've been waiting on this nigga for like twenty minutes. I started to leave when he finally decided to stomp out his house, I could tell he was pissed by the way he was walking. Truthfully he was kinda sexy mad, but I shook the thought outta my head. I couldn't afford to be distracted now. He got in the car and slammed my door, I was bout to say something but I needed to try to get him and Seven back together. He fell against my seat and turned his head away from me, I guess cuz he didn't want me to see him crying. I felt kinda sorry for him.

"Ayy Tyson you good?" I asked. I needed him to trust me and to feel comfortable enough to tell me what was wrong.

"I...... I fucked up bad." He cried. Once the tears started there was no stopping them, it got so bad I had to pull over to an empty parking lot.

"Yo Tyson crying makes me nervous ass fuck so either tell me what's up or just stop crying." I said making him look at me.

"Everything that they told me was a lie." Tyson said softly.

"Okay........ like I'm suppose to know what your talking about." I said.

"My dad, Dallas and Seven. But I can't really put the blame on Seven because everything he told me he thought was true even though it wasn't."

"Can you please stop talking in riddles."

"I guess I should start from the beginning. My dad really wanted me and Seven to break up, he tried paying Seven, blackmailing him, even threatening him. But Seven loved me way too much to do it. So my dad went to Dallas, he knew Dallas was struggling to pay his tuition so he approached him with a plan he'd pay off Dallas' tuition if he helped break me and Seven up. Dallas knew that Raymond had a crush on Seven so Dallas came up with a plan to get Seven drunk enough to fuck Raymond knowing that I'd break up with him. So at the party Seven got really, really drunk and went into the room with Raymond, before they could even do anything Seven passed out, naked. Dallas came in the room and took the pictures. So after me and Seven broke up Dallas put it in Seven's head that him and Raymond really did fuck......."

"Even though they really didn't?" I asked.

"So Dallas lied to Seven to make him feel like he fucked up even though he didn't. I can't believe I never gave him a chance, he kept trying to apologize, aww man I fucked up sooo bad." Tyson cried. This was the silver-lining I was looking for, this is the info I needed to get Seven and Tyson back together.

"How did you find all this out?" I asked. That was important to know so that when I told Seven.

"Dallas called me and left a message but it got cut off so I called him back and asked him, but he said he wanted to see me in person. So yesterday I met him for lunch and he told me everything. He said he hated himself for what he did to his brother but he really needed the money." On the outside I kept a perfectly calm face but on the inside I was smiling like a kid.

"So you plan on telling Seven?" I asked, knowing damn well he wasn't.

"He wouldn't believe me he'd think I was just trying to get him back, I played way too many games with him."

"Look Tyson you need to tell him or I will. Seven that's my boy and I can tell he really misses you but he's moving on in fact he's already talking to somebody else even though their not serious yet I can see it's going to get there if you don't tell him."

"Maybe that's what he needs, somebody that's not going to run out on him for on small mistake."

"Look you were hurt that's understandable. But maybe if you sit down and explain to him what really happened he might forgive you." Okay it was a long shot but I needed Tyson to at least try a small moment of doubt was all I needed to pry Seven away from Gabriel.

"I don't know maybe I should call my brother Tyree. He told me to forgive him, but I wouldn't listen, he might not even want to talk to me either. Damn I ruined all my connections, with this bullshit."

"Look Tyson I'll help you. I'ma call Seven and tell him we need to talk I'll tell him everything you told me."

"What if he doesn't care?" Tyson asked.

"Only way we'll know is if we try." I grabbed my phone and dialed Seven's number. "What's up young nuts?" I asked.

"Shit chilling what's good?" He asked.

"Ayy look I gotta tell you something, something really important. So I'll be over later tonight."

"Damn Zay tell me now I'm busy tonight. Me and Gabriel are supposed to be going out." After I heard that I got a little pissed.

"Oh so ya'll dating now?" I said trying to make it into a joke. Tyson looked at me with fear in his eyes.

"Nah we're just friends now but I'm really feeling him ,I haven't felt this way about anybody besides Ty............... but nah were taking it slow he said I have to be 100% sure that I was completely over Tyson, before he talked about making that next step."

"Oh that's good I thought you were just going to jump into another relationship. Well look I'll be over tomorrow to tell you."

"Aight Zay hit me up later." Seven said hanging up.

"Look I'ma get ya'll back together, because I know real love and ya'll got it." I was laying it on thick but I had to make him think I was doing it for him and not me.

"Thank you Izayah." Tyson said.

"Yeah we'll I just hate seeing black love destroyed." I thought about Aaron and quickly shook the thought outta my head, not here, not in front of Tyson.

"Izayah have you ever been in love?" Tyson asked.

"Nope. I've never been in love and I don't ever want to be." I lied. I didn't need him in my business, beside I didn't want him to fall for me, because I had my eyes on Gabriel.
