Darrin POV

I was stuck. I couldn't move or say a thing. Eric just caught me with Clinton. 😣

"Well!? You gon' say something!? I asked you a question!" He yelled

My heart was beating so fast.

"Darrin I swear if I find out it was one of them niggas from the crips- wait hold up is that why you asked me if we could we go back to them!?" He said as he took some steps closer to me.

"No!"

"Lie again!"

"I'm not lying! I swear!"

He just looked at me for a few seconds and then shook his head.

I headed towards the steps. I turned around to face him.

"I'm sorry"

Then I went upstairs to my room.

🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

I was in the middle of getting dressed for school.

Eric knocked on my door twice before walking in. "Aye you got a minute?"

"I'm listening...." I said as I sat on my bed.

He sat next to me and sighed.

"Look D, I apologize for my reaction last night."

"That was the main reason why I planned on never coming out to you or mom. I knew y'all would react the way you did."

"D I don't care about you being gay. I care about you being safe. The thought of you being with someone from the crips, scares me.  I immediately think of them using you and setting you up."

I had to be careful about my responses. I don't wanna slip up and tell him that I actually am going with someone from the crips. He would flip out even more than he did last night. To the point where it could definitely turn deadly.

"You don't have to worry about that. He's not from the crips or any other gang. He's not down with all that."

He nodded his head. "I trust you, Darrin. Plus I kinda already knew you were gay." He said with a chuckle.

I laughed "What?"

"I mean come on, Sam being your best friend plus you barely talk about girls."

"Are you gonna tell mom about this?"

"Not if you don't want me too."

I sighed a little. "I don't."

"You have my word"

"Thanks Eric" I sad with complete sincerity.

"No problem. But look mom's not gonna be at her house tonight so imma be over there keeping an eye on the place."

I laughed. "What you think Mom is on somebody's hit list or something?"
