Lucky Number Seven

Seven 48

We walked back in my house holding hands and smiling at each other I couldn't help it, Gabriel just made me happy. It seemed like everybody was there; Zaire, Tion, Tiana, Iran, Izayah, Tyson, Leah, even my sister Dalisa, when we walked in everybody was staring at us. I just shook my head and walked in the kitchen, with Tion and Izayah right behind me. I got me a cup of Kool-Aid and sat at the table, Tion and Izayah just kept staring at me.

"Man what the fuck are ya'll staring at?" I asked with a smile on my face.

"So you and Gab huh?" Tion asked. I finished my drink and poured another one before answering, I knew Tion was going to have something to say, so I decided to chose my words carefully.

"Yea me and Gab it just feels right when I'm with him, you know?" I said smiling.

"Well what about Tyson I mean just last night you were trying to fuck him know you're saying you're with Gabriel. Seven what the fuck are you going to play both of them?" Izayah asked, visibly pissed. For the longest time I just stared at him, I didn't understand what his problem was.

"Look Zay Gabriel already knows what happened between me and Tyson last night. He knows it was just a spur of the moment thing, he also knows that nothing happened. Look Tyson is always going to be one of my best friends but I think it's time that I moved on, besides he's still holding shit back from me. How do you expect me to be with him if he's still keeping secrets from me?"

"Sev I just don't wanna..................." Before Izayah could finish whatever it is he was bout to say Tion cut him off.

"Zay there's no point in tryin to change his mind when his heart has already decided on who it wants. Besides it's been a while since I've seen Seven this happy. Now the only thing you need to be worried about is how you're goin to tell Tyson, because he needs to know."

"Yeah I'm actually bout to tell him, so can ya'll go get him and tell him I need to talk him." I said quietly. Tion and Izayah got up and walked out, a couple minutes later Tyson walked in. It's crazy usually whenever I see him my heart skips a beat but now....... nothing. It's like I'm looking at one of my friends. Last night all I wanted was to make him happy but, now it's like we're slowly growing apart.

"So it's official now?" Tyson said without looking at me. I could tell he was hurt, and I felt bad because there was nothing I could do to fix it.

"Yeah I'm with Gabriel. Tyson I don't want to keep leading you on, last night was a huge mistake."

"But last night you said that you wanted me. Was that a mistake? Or when you almost fucked me was that a mistake? Does your nigga know about last night, does he know about all the promises you made me last night that we were going to get back together?"

"Tyson your making this harder than it has to be, your always going to be my first love. You can stay here until your brother get's down here but I'm going to be staying with Gab."

"Seven I can't believe you're playing me like this."

"And I can't believe you fucked Fabian." I said looking him directly in the eyes. For the longest time we just didn't say anything. I shook my head and left the kitchen. "Ayy Gab you ready to go?" I asked.

"Yeah aren't you going to pack some clothes?" Gab asked my standing up.

"Nah we can stop by the mall or something. I just gotta get outta here." I got all the way to Gabriel's house when I realized I forgot my phone. "Fuck man I gotta go back and get my phone." Gabriel stepped out the car but left the keys in the ignition, he walked over to my side of the car and kissed me.

"Hurry back." He said walking away. When I got back to my house nobody was there except Tion.

"Damn he kicked you out already?" He said laughing.

"Nah I forgot my phone, where'd everybody go?" I asked.

"I think they went to this party, but here Ty told me to give this to you." Tion said handing me a sealed envelope with my name on it. I sat on the couch next to Tion and started to read it. "What's it say?" Tion said trying it read over my shoulder.

"Damn nigga back up." I said laughing. I stood up and moved away from him so I could read the letter.

Seven

I don't know what happened between us. But I'm starting to realize that maybe we've out grown each other. I just want you to know that I've never stop loving you, even when we were broken up. Seven it's time that I tell you the truth. The first time I saw you I was in love instantly, I don't know what it was maybe it was your quiet confidence or the passion in your eyes. As we grew older the deeper I fell in love until, that shit with Raymond. But Sev I never believed you had sex with him, I was just scared that we were too deep in love so I looked for a way out. When we were broken up I realized my mistake but wasn't man enough to own up to it, so I pushed you further away. When I started wanting you back, I felt as if I pushed you beyond reach. So I found comfort in someone else, someone who was just like you but different. He was so charming and confident, just like you. We got drunk and ended up having sex. The next morning was filled with regret. I because I knew once you found out then there would be know more us. He told me he couldn't hurt you anymore than he already had. Seven you were right when you asked if I had sex with another person, but it wasn't Fabian. It was your brother. I just hope that one day you'll find it in your heart to forgive me.

Love Always Tyson

I didn't realize how pissed I was until I looked in the mirror my mom kept over the mantle and saw that I was biting my lip so hard it was bleeding. I felt sick, I felt betrayed, and mostly I felt light headed. Everything, I felt for Tyson melted in an instant. The fact that he'd been with my brother hurt me to the core, the only thing that went through my mind was the fact that only one of my brothers would hurt me like this. I'm not exactly sure at what point I passed out but, I remember Tion running to catch me and my head bouncing off the coffee table, and I remember that my last thought was killing Tyson and Dallas.
