Lucky Number Seven

Seven 70

Izayah was quiet. That was the first sign that something was wrong or that I wasn't going to like what he was going to tell me. We walked for like ten minutes in tense silence. I started going over all that had happened every time me and Zay talked one on one he ended up telling me something that pissed me off. We walked to the corner store and stood in front of I looked at Izayah, he was never this quiet, ever since I met him he's been well loud and very verbal about what he was thinking. So now that he was acting like this it got my head spinning, what could actually make Zay this quiet, was it the fact that Tyson was at my house? No that couldn't be it because he knew I was with Tyson, ever since last night at the party. The party ...... then everything came back, Gab was at the party too. Gab was still there when I left, and the only person that knew was Izayah, the same dude that lusted after Gabriel since he laid eyes on him.

"Zay what happened after I went to Tyson's house?" I asked quietly. I was hoping that nothing bad happened but I already knew it did.

"What makes you think something happened?" Izayah said looking at the ground.

"Nigga because you actin like whatever it is you gotta tell me is the worst shit ever so just keep it real with me and tell me what's up." I said looking him in the eyes.

"Aight man last night Gab kissed me, but that's not what I wanted to tell you. What I was going to tell you was when he kissed me I didn't feeling anything. I mean I didn't feel shit, I thought that when, I mean if I ever kissed Gabriel then I would feel the same thing that I felt the first time me and Aaron kissed. But I didn't it..... it felt like I was kissing my friend, there was nothing there Sev."

"Is that why you being all quiet and shit you thought I was going to be mad at you for you and Gab kissing?" I asked.

"Truthfully no, I didn't give a fuck if you were mad or not. I mean ya'll ain't together. The reason I was so quiet is because I met someone last night. Sev I never felt anything like I felt last night when I was with him. I mean when he walked away from me it was like every step he took away from me was a physical blow to my heart." I looked at Zay, I never heard him speak so passionately about anything, when he use to talk about Gab it was kinda obsessive, now whoever this nigga was that talking about it sounded like, like how I use to talk about Tyson, and then Gabriel.

"So who's this dude that got you so opened?" I asked.

"Wait, wait, wait you're not pissed about Gab kissing me?" Izayah asked.

"Nah like you said we ain't together." I lied smoothly. Of course I was pissed but I had no reason to be pissed at Zay, but Gab on the other hand.

"Seven I need you to do me a favor. I need you to find out about your boy Jackson." I looked at Izayah like he was retarded. Jackson wasn't gay, bi, or even curious at least I didn't think he was.

"Jackson? Like Jackson Acree, the tight end Jackson?"

"Yeah that Jackson, after you left and that shit happened with Gab, I was chilling in my room thinking bout some shit and he stumbled in, we started talking and shit and I don't know I just started feeling him. That dude made me feel things I've never felt I could have talked to him all night, sex didn't even cross my mind until he left."

"Alright I'll talk to him but I can't promise anything, I don't think he's gay. Now can we please go watch some damn football?" I asked.

We watched the game without to much drama except for the fact that Gabriel and Tyson kept shooting daggers at each other. Tion played great for his first game and was getting interviewed afterwards.

"So Tion Hayes, the freshmen that the whole country is watching, how does it feel to know that by the end of this year your going to be a household name?" Tion blush and I smiled proudly. Me and Tion looked almost identical except for the fact the he was a shade light than me I was brown skinned and he was more caramel, and his eyes were a shade lighter than mine as well his eyes were stuck somewhere between hazel and brown.

"I just wanna make my family proud." Tion said. "Especially my baby brother Seven , he's my driving force. He keeps me sane in this crazy world, ans I can't wait for him to join me here at LSU next year." Tion said sincerely.

"It's easy to go crazy in this lifestyle especially with all the women, is there anyone special in your life right now?"

"Nah not right now, but there is someone that I have my eye on."

"Well you heard it here first, ladies Mr. Hayes is officially single." After the interview I waited while everybody talked to Tion on the phone I knew they were going to be a while so it gave me time to think what I was going to say to him.

"Seven I'm ready to go." Tyson said from behind me. I looked at him and could tell he was pissed. I grabbed my keys and got in my car. We didn't talk the whole ride back to his house. When we pulled up Tyson hopped out.

"Ty wait where you going?" I asked.

"In my house stupid." Ty spat at me.

"Hold up, Tyson lose the fucking attitude. I didn't know Gab was coming over but, it really shouldn't matter because me and you ain't together neither is me and Gab ya'll both my friends so I can chill with both of ya'll and if I decide that I wanna hang out with both of ya'll together ya'll can either deal with it or not."

"Seven I'm sorry but it's hard for me to see ya'll together but for you I'll at least try and be civil."

"Good now get over here an give me a hug." I said smiling at him. Tyson walked over and I pulled him in my arms. "Long as live, you will be my first love. Oh baby you and only you." I sang into Tyson ear.

"Seven that's our song." Tyson said getting watery eyed.

"I know. Tyson I........... look I gotta go. But be good babe." I said. I watched Tyson walk into the house before I got in my car. I started driving home, as I rode past Fabian's house I saw Derrick walking out. What the fuck?
