Lucky Number Seven

Seven 97

We pulled up to Tyson's house and the first thing I noticed were all the lights were off. We sat in the car and for the first time since I've known Tyson I was actually scared to go inside, from here the house looked........ menacing. I mean I knew Tyson's dad had some hood in him, but the way he killed Fabian in cold blood, scared me he didn't even blink when he pulled the trigger, I couldn't help but think that it could've been me laying there at any given time. If Tyson's dad wanted me dead then there wasn't too much I could do. Tonight I seen I side of him that I've only caught glimpses of, a side that I hoped I never seen again. But truthfully none off this mattered as along as Tyson was safe, that was all I truthfully cared about. Tyson looked at me and I could tell he was thinking the same thing I was. I leaned forward and kissed him passionately on the lips, before we got out the car. No words had to be passed between us to know what the other was thinking. I walked over and grabbed Tyson's hand as we walked into his giant ass house.When we got inside Tyson tried to flick the lights on.

"Seven the lights aren't working." Tyson said, I heard the faint trace of fear in his voice and instantly I felt the need to protect him.

"It's cool Tyson let's just go and sit on the couch until your dad gets here. Let's try and start a fire so that we can have some type of light in here." I said moving around his house in the dark. Once we got the fire started in the fireplace me and Tyson sat on the couch with my arms wrapped around him. "You know you scared me for a second there Tyson. I didn't know what he was going to do to you. I........ couldn't live with myself if anything happened to you."

"Seven how did my dad know where I was did you tell him?" Tyson asked me, I looked at him confused because I was sure he told him where they were at.

"Nah I didn't say shit to your dad, I thought it was you. Besides my phone died on the way to The Tunnel so I'm not sure how your dad found out." I said quietly. The wheels in my head started turning how did Tyson's dad know where we were if neither one of use told him. Before I could give it too much thought the front door opened, and Tyson's dad and brother walked inside.

"Tyson are you alright?" Tyson's dad asked. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. How did Tyson's dad know that we'd be at The Tunnel, and how did Fabian know so much about me and Tyson's relationship. I looked at Tyson's dad and we made eye contact.

"It was you wasn't it?" I asked quietly. Everybody in the room got quiet and looked at me. "You were the one that told Fabian all that shit about me and Tyson. You knew where Fabian was taking Tyson because you planned it all didn't you?" I asked heated, Tyson looked at his dad and slowly backed away from him.

"Dad what's going on?" Tyson asked. For the longest time Mr. Brown didn't say anything, he walked over to his bar and made himself a drink while me, Tyson, and Ty'ree all stood there confused.

"Dad what is he talking about you didn't have anything to do with this did you?" Ty'ree asked.

"Tyson, Ty'ree you have to understand everything I've done has been to protect the family. All the planning, all the scheming, all the time and effort I put into making sure this family was secure." Tyson's dad said. I looked around the room confused, Tyson and Ty'ree shared the same lost expression I did. "I guess I'll have to take ya'll back to the beginning, the night Fabian's dad came to me for because dumb ass Fabian decided he wanted to kill some boy he had a crush on. I help him cover it up and so I did but I told him that one day Fabian would have to return the favor. It started off innocent enough, Fabian was supposed to cause drama between you two, make ya'll start to resent each other. But that dumb fuck decided to catch feelings. His plan worked for a while, you two broke up, he got that boy Gabriel to try to take Seven's mind off of Tyson. But in the end it failed because you two ended right back together. Then Fabian decided to take matters into his own hands he started plotting to kill Seven and keep Tyson to himself, which truthfully I didn't have a problem with, everything was supposed to happened smoothly, Fabian was suppose to drop Tyson off here and wait for you, Seven and kill you. But when you showed up here instead of Tyson I knew that bastard was going to try something else. So I made a few calls and now Fabian will probably be having a nice closed casket funeral." Tyson dad said with a smile.

"Okay you did all of this because you didn't want me and Tyson together?" I asked beyond pissed.

"Seven this is a lot bigger than you, this has to do with revenge. When I first met you Seven I knew you were his son instantly, hell you look just like him. Alexander Hayes my best friend growing up, my old business partner. We had it all planned out he'd be king of the streets and I'd rule the legal world. He loved all of his children but there was something about you his 'lucky number seven' that made him want to go straight. But like the true business man I was I couldn't let my biggest money maker just quit but he said he was done. So on his 'last run' something that would have your family set for life, he decided to take my money a run. Leaving his family behind, for years I tried to forget but then showed up to my house and all the anger I thought was gone came back instantly. I figured if I killed one of his children Alex would definitely come back for revenge, but I'd have something waiting for him." Tyson's dad explained. My head was racing.

"Dad this is fucking crazy that shit happen like 18 years ago, let it go. Leave Tyson and Seven alone." Ty'ree said.

"Ty'ree you understand more than anyone that I can't. Now take your brother and go to the hotel, I'll be there after I take care of Seven." I looked at Ty'ree and I saw the confusion in his face.

"Fuck that Dad I'm not leaving Seven." Tyson said walking over and grabbing my hand, but I barely noticed. I couldn't believe that Tyson's dad knew my dad, and I could believe that Mr. Brown was behind all of this over some old grudge he had with somebody I've never even met. But my decision was made, I had to end this tonight.

"Ty'ree please take Tyson out of here." All looked at me. Ty'ree looked at me with admiration, Tyson looked at me with pain, and Mr. Brown smiled at me in slight amusement.

"Seven I can't leave you....... I love you." Tyson said fighting back tears, I smiled.

"I love you too Ty, no matter what. Always know that I love you. Now please let me do this." Ty'ree grabbed Tyson and started to pull him away. But Tyson broke free and ran over to me he pulled me into a kiss.

"I love you." Tyson said above a whisper. I couldn't respond, I just met Mr. Brown's eyes as he took his jacket off. Tyson and Ty'ree walked out the house leaving me and Mr. Brown alone.

"You know when we were younger your dad used to be the best fighter in the neighborhood, lets see if some of his skills didn't get wasted on his faggot ass son." Mr.Brown said swing on me. When his fist connected with my jaw I swear I saw sound. I almost went down with that one hit but my heart wouldn't let me.

"Nigga you hit like a bitch." I said spitting some blood out. Mr. Brown smiled again. He tried to swing again but all my years of getting my ass whooped by my three older brothers kicked in and I found my rhythm I hit him with three quick jabs, and got a small satisfaction seeing his nose bleed.

"You know Seven, you have a lot of potential but you're still young." Mr. Brown said swing again, but this time instead of going for my face he hit me in the side, knocking the wind out of me, before I had a chance to even try and catch me breath he hit me in the other side, then upper-cutted me. I flew through the air and crashed on the ground. Everything in the room was blurry, Tyson's dad walked over to me smiling.

"You see Seven you are a bitch just like your dad." He said kicking me. If I was going to go down, I was going to go down fighting. So I fought my way to a sitting position and spit on his shirt.

"Fuck you pussy." I said with a smile. Tyson's dad was about to say something but then he stopped and looked out the window.

"Well Seven this has been fun but your ride is here." He said smiling still. I stood up and saw that white van from earlier. I knew right then my life was over.
