Lucky Number Seven

Izayah 51

When we finally arrived at Gabriel's car neither one of us really knew what to say. I thought about everything I had just told Gabriel and wondered if maybe I shouldn't have, I looked over at him and saw Aaron all over again. From his light skinned, to his beautiful eyes, to his big ears. I was slowly starting to see everything I loved in Aaron in Gabriel. I was so mesmerized by him that I didn't hear the question he had just asked until he snapping his fingers in front of my face.

"Huh what did you just say?" I asked snapping out of my daze.

"I said thanks." Gabriel said, instead of responding I flashed him a smile. He slowly got out of the car and started to walk away, then he suddenly stopped and looked back. It was like he was having some kind of internal struggle with himself. I got out the car and walked over to him.

"Is there something on your mind?" I asked. I was close enough to smell the faint scent of pears that always seemed to linger around him. That shit was intoxicating.

"I just had a thought, why would anyone of Seven's brothers fuck Tyson I mean think about it. Zaire is way to busy to even go to most of Seven's games there's no way that he could or would take the time out of his schedule just to get drunk with his youngest brothers ex, then there's Dallas from what Seven has told me, Dallas hates the fact that Seven is with a nigga so I couldn't even begin to think that Dallas would some shit like that."

"I don't know Dallas seems kinda shady if you ask me."

"Then there's Tion............ Tion loves Seven, that's his best friend in some ways Tion and Seven are more than brothers there like the same person in two separate bodies, they've always been like that. I couldn't see Tion breaking Seven's heart like that."

"So you think Tyson is lying?" I asked curiously.

"Maybe I don't know, but look Zay." I smiled at him slightly that was the first time he's called me Zay. "I want to be with Seven, but I can already tell this shit is going to fuck him up in the head and I don't need anymore drama because of you so all I'm asking is that you please not say anything to Seven about us hanging out. I'm going to tell him myself."

"Aight I got you, I'm bout to go and try and find Tyson anyway. I'll talk to you later." With a great deal of effort I walked away from Gabriel. As I drove of I started to dial Tyson's number, after like three rings he decided to pick up.

"What do you want Izayah?" Tyson said, it sounded like he was crying.

"Man where you at?" I said patiently.

"Why Izayah what does it even matter." I listened closely and it sounded like his words were slurred.

"Ty are drunk?" I said pissed. "You know what never mind, Tyson where are you?"

"I'm with a friend. He's taking real good care of me, he got me a hotel room not far from Seven's house."

"Aight where are you at? I need to talk to you." After Tyson gave me directions I pulled up like ten minutes later. I got out the car and half way to the elevator, I bumped into some light bright ass nigga. "My bad dude." I said only because I wasn't paying attention.

"Well maybe next time you can watch where you're going." Okay this nigga had officially lost his fuckin mind.

"Nigga who the fuck you talking to."

"Izayah calm down. I'm not here to argue with you in fact, I'm glad you came. I think me and you could really help each other." I looked at this nigga like he was crazy, how the fuck did he know my name.

"Oh my, how rude of me my name is Fabian." I looked at this nigga like he was crazy, yeah all knew all about this dude from Seven, my only question is why the hell was Tyson with him?

"Truthfully I don't give fuck who you are where is Tyson?" I asked looking the dude in the eyes.

"Okay follow me." I walked with Fabian to the same room Tyson told me he was in. I walked in and saw Tyson sitting on the bed watching TV.

"Tyson, what the fuck are you doing here, matter fact what the fuck is up with that fucking letter you left Seven, that nigga ended up in the hospital because of you." Tyson looked up at me with tears in his eyes. "Nah man don't start crying and shit now, did you really fuck his brother?"

"Izayah it was a mistake." Tyson said quietly.

"Yeah well this is a mistake that you bout to own up to. Now let's fucking go."

"Izayah wait lets sit down and talk........" Fabian said.

"Nah fuck that let's go." Tyson got up and walked over to Fabian.

"I'll be back later. Thanks for everything Fabian."

"Don't thank me Tyson that's what friends are for." Fabian said walking us to the door. "Izayah I still think that me and you should talk." I started to say something but I ended up running into Tyson.

"Ty why the fuck did you stop." I looked around him and saw to dudes standing there with more colors then a lil bit.

"Well, well, well. If it ain't Tyson, and who are these two sexy ass niggas." The dude said.

"Raymond what are you doing here?" Tyson said with venom in his voice.

"Damn rudeness I as throwing a party and I came out to get some ice. I'm glad I did, hey sexy." He said waving at me. I winked at him and grabbed Tyson by the arm and walking out.

"Bye Tyson I'll make sure I tell Seven I saw you." Raymond said.
