Homecoming Pt. 1

Devin 54

When I walked out of the police station Khalil was the only person waiting for me, and needless to say he was beyond pissed. But I could tell just by looking at him he was also disappointed, and that made me feel a lot worse than I already did. When we made eye contact we didn't say anything he just stood up thanked the officers and walked out of the building, I stood there hurt and followed after him we got in his car and I tried to explain but he turned his music up to a ear splitting level and drove off. I figured he was taking me back to the hotel but when we got on the highway I knew he was taking me back to Houston. The first hour was silent except for the music and I didn't like it I needed to explain myself so I turned the music down and waited for the inevitable explosion.

"I dropped Marcus off at the hotel with Cam and Legacy, I told him to check ya'll out of the hotel and take them back to Houston so that's where your car is in case you were wondering. I don't know where Nico is, he wasn't at the hotel when we got here and he didn't answer his phone when Cam or Legacy called him. So do you wanna tell me what happened?" Khalil said a little to calmly, truthfully it kinda made me nervous and I wasn't sure how much I wanted to tell him.

"Khalil I know you're pissed and disappointed, but I can't leave without Nico." I said quietly.

"Devin..... I've already called Enzo to see if he'll go and find Nico, then bring him home. He said he'll do it...... but right now me and you need to have a little talk. How could you be so stupid Dev?" Khalil asked.

"This dude just kept fuckin with me the whole damn day he would say little slick shyt to me and when I tried to be the bigger person and walk away, he followed me to my car and showed me a video of him fucking Nico and...... and I lost it." I said looking away.

"I need to ask you something about Nico....... and I want you to be honest with me Dev." Khalil said. Before he could ask his phone started ringing and he turned to the bluetooth. "What's up Zo?" Khalil asked.

"Ayy I got Nico, were heading to Houston now..... Khalil I need to talk to you on some personal shyt." Enzo said.

"Aight I'll see you when you get to my place." Khalil said hanging up. "Alright the first thing I need to ask you is do you trust Nico?" Khalil asked.

"Honestly after to I'm not sure, I used to feel like he had my best interest at heart but now it like...... I don't know." I said.

"Okay now do you feel like your a better person when your with Nico, like does he make you better all around?" Khalil asked.

"No.... I mean I'm happy when I'm with Nico but the anger is still there Khalil." I said.

"And finally can you live without him." Khalil asked seriously.

"I 'm not really sure." I said truthfully, Khalil was quiet for a few minutes.

"Devin I know earlier I told you that maybe you over reacted and that you should give him a chance, but based on your answers I think maybe you and Nico should take a break for now and before you get upset hear me out. When I asked you if you trusted Nico, you weren't sure and if you were to ask me the same question about Marcus I would've said yes in a heartbeat and when I asked you if Nico made you a better person you said no, when I'm with Marcus I'm more than just 'happy', he makes feel better than I've ever felt in my life, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.... I'm a better man with Marcus. And the last thing I asked you was the most important can you live without him.... Devin the fact that you're not sure it tells me you can and I know I can't compare my relationship to yours but you need to listen to everything I'm telling you because you're not ready to be in a relationship." Khalil said just as we pulled into his driveway I looked back and saw Enzo pulling in behind us with Nico in the passenger seat.
