Homecoming Pt. 1

Devin 45

Laying my old bed, in my old room, in my old house, felt weird it didn't really feel like home anymore. In the few weeks I lived with Khalil, I felt more at home than all the years I've lived with my foster parents I mean I loved them don't get me wrong but there was something about living with Khalil that made me like we were a real family. I looked over at my clock and saw I had to get up for school, I didn't feel like impressing anyone today so I threw on a shirt and some sweat pants and walked upstairs my pops was sitting on the couch watching the news. I tried to slip pasted him, truthfully I couldn't stand being in the same room as him but he saw me and I stopped.

"Devin come here real quick." He said slowly ever since his stroke his speech has become a lot slower, but other than that he seemed fine. I controlled my anger and sat down across from him. "I know your upset with me...... I know you wanted to stay with your brother but I really appreciate you moving back in." He said looking at me.

"No problem pops. I have to get going I don't wanna be late for school." I said standing up. I started to walk out the room but once again he stopped me.

"Devin here I have something for you." He said reaching on the table and grabbing some papers. "I'm not trying to pressure you but I really think you should look at these. I don't understand this gay thing and I just want to help you." He said handing me the paper, everything in me told me to cuss him out, but I didn't because I knew he was sick.

"Aight pops I'll see you after school." I said walking out the house. I went to get in the car but remember I didn't have one, I always used Khalil's. I shook my head and started to walk down the street, as soon as I hit the corner I threw the papers my pops gave me in a trash can and kept  walking. I saw half way to school when someone pulled up beside me.

"You need a ride?" Will asked me, I weighed my options and realized I was going to be late if I walked.

"Yeah....." I got in the car and we were both quiet. "Thanks Will." I said.

"No problem Dev...... so how was your trip to Miami?" He asked. I really didn't want to go into details with him, but I promised Nico I'd give him a chance.

"It was cool, I got to hang out with my family." I said keeping it short and sweet. "I've been back for a few days now I was just moving back into my parents." I said.

"I heard about your dad is he alright?" Will asked.

"He's fine, he still thinks I need to see a psychiatrist  because I'm bi, but I'm not going to....... where are we going." I asked noticing this wasn't the way to school in fact this was the way to Nico's house. We pulled up and Nico walked outside and got in the car. "Nico's what's going on?" I asked confused.

"Will came and talked to me when we got back. He convinced me to come back to school so I talked to my mom and I transferred, now I go to school with you." Nico said smiling. I looked at Will confused, what was his endgame.

"What are you playing at Will? Why are you doing all of this?" I asked.

"I'm not playing at anything Dev, I told you it's been eating away at me ever since I made  Nico changed schools. I'm just trying to make everything right, if you don't believe me it's fine Dev. But I'm truly sorry for everything I've done." Will said as we pulled up to school. I didn't know what to say so I just got out the car and almost ran into Staci.

"Hey baby daddy." She said smiling at me.

"That's yet to be seen, so until the baby get's here we shouldn't speak to each other." I said seriously. Will and Nico got out the car and walked over to us.

"Well looks like the band is back together, hey girls." Staci said waving at Nico and Will. "Oh before I forget I have a meeting set up for us with the guidance counselor, you know so we can see all our options for our baby." Staci said shooting a sneaky glance at Nico, she walked away smiling and I was heated.

"I'm sorry about that babe." I said looking at Nico.

"It's fine Dev, I'm not worried about Staci. Let's go I don't want to be late on my first day." Nico said smiling at me.

The day went by depressingly slow for my liking, and the fact that me and Nico didn't have a single class together drove me insane. I was sitting in the back of class when someone came and told my teacher that I was needed in the guidance counselors office. I wondered if I skipped it would I get in trouble, but then I decided against it. If this was my baby then I needed to be there, I walked to the guidance counselors office and Staci was already in there smiling as I sat down.

"I'm glad you could join us Mr. Cunningham, now I understand you've been having some issues that ya'll wanted to work out." Mr. Wade said.

"There's no issues to work out, we're not together. Staci's pregnant and I wanted to know our options." I said looking at him.

"Mr. Wade I've already decided to keep the baby, I just want Devin to step up and take care of his responsibilities." Staci said.

"I don't feel I should have to, not until I know that it's my baby. If it is I'll take fully responsibility." I said not even looking at Staci.

"But I still need things while I'm pregnant. It's not like you have a job....... you could always ask your brother I know he's loaded." Staci said smiling.

"I'm not going to ask Khalil to help me take care of my child. If I have to get a job then I will but I'm not about to......"

"And what exactly are you going to do Devin flip burgers? What if I need to go to the doctors? Are yu going to carry me on your back? It's not like you have a car." Staci said with an attitude. This bitch was starting to piss me off.

"Like I said I'll get a job....... and you have a car. I'm not even sure this is my baby." I said pissed.

"Okay let's simmer down, Staci you're Devin said he'll get a job and Devin is there even the slightest possibility that it's you're child?" He asked me.

"Yeah there is....." I said looking down.

"Then we'll assume for the time being that it is your child, now have ya'll given in thought about what you're going to do for college?" Mr. Wade asked.

"I'm going to school here in Texas, if it is my child I'll be close enough to take care of it." I said.

"I'm not going to college, Devin's brother plays in the NFL if I need anything I'll just go to him. I doubt he'll let his nephew or niece be homeless. If you'll excuse me I have to go to the restroom. Oh Devin can you tell Khalil that I think a Houston Texas baby shower would be nice." Staci said standing up and leaving, everything in me wanted to chase her down and push her down some stairs.

"Devin I understand this is a stressful time for you, I know your father just recently had a stroke, your ex is expecting a child, and the fact that your feeling strangely towards men...." Mr. Wade said.

"It's not strange at all I know I like girls and I know I like dudes and for all the other stuff it can't be helped. Look this has been fun but I need to get back to class." I said getting up and leaving. I walked through the hallways deciding to take the long way to class when I saw Staci standing by the girls restroom in the back of the school, that nobody used on her phone looking suspicious. I hid by a locker and watched, a couple minutes later this dude that played basketball named Keith walked over to Staci and kissed her then pulled her into the bathroom. I tiptoed to the door and listened.

"........ I'm sure it's yours Keith. Look Devin's brother is rich I just need to get as much outta Devin as I can before the baby gets here." Staci said.

"Man alright Staci, but what if it is that fags baby, that would kill me. You know how much I love you." Keith said.

"If it is Devin's baby we'll still be set for life, just trust me." Staci said, for the longest time they were quiet so I stuck my head in and saw Staci on her knees sucking Keith's dick.

"I KNEW YOU WERE A FUCKIN HOE!" I said busting in there. Staci jumped up and Keith tried to put his little ass dick back in his shorts.

"Devin....... I....." Before she could finish I punched Keith in the mouth just for principle he hit the ground and Staci looked at me with tears in her eyes. "Baby please let me explain." Staci cried but I was done. I walked outta school and called Khalil, because right now I needed my brother.
