Homecoming Pt. 1

Enzo 94

It had been a few weeks since Khalil's latest run in with Vic and now he was staying in my apartment. I felt bad for leaving him alone and letting Vic get to him again, and aside from a few details Khalil wouldn't tell me exactly what happened all I know is the aftermath in which Marcus cussed damn near everyone in the hospital out and almost got arrested. After that Marcus said he needed some time to calm down so he hasn't been over here to see Khalil, but I knew they still talked on the phone. I sat on the couch flipping through the channels I stopped on ESPN's First Take and they were talking about Khalil and how he'd probably never play football again. I heard someone behind me and saw Khalil standing there without his crutch, I started to change the channel but he asked me to leave it there, he limped slowly to the couch and sat next to me and watched as they talked about him in the past tensed, I looked at Khalil expecting to see anger in his eyes but all I saw determination a commercial came on a decided to ask Khalil something that had been on my mind all week.

"Khalil I need to ask you something..... just promise not to get mad aight?" I said looking at him. Khalil didn't lookat me but he nodded his head letting me know he was listening. "What's really going on with you? This Vic situation has gotten beyond your control and it's not like you, you usually handle stuff as quickly as possibly but with this it seems like... I don't know it seems like you enjoy it." I said looking at him, Khalil didn't say anything but I could see the wheels turning in his head.

"Alright but what I'm about to tell you has to stay between us, you can't tell anyone especially not Marcus." Khalil said.

"Khalil I swear whatever you tell me I'll take to my grave." I said looking in his eyes. Khalil took a deep breath and nodded.

"The truth is.... I think in my heart I...... I wanted this to happen, I thought that if I just gave him want he wanted then he'd leave me alone and I know it's fucked up and just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach, but that's what my mindset was at the time, and while it was happening I just couldn't get over how amazing that shyt felt and that makes me feel even worse. I love Marcus more than anything but the things Vic did to me in those two to three minutes..... I've never felt anything like it in my life, it was a rush it felt wrong and right at the same time. After it happened I felt so bad and the regret ate at me I knew I had to tell Marcus. I called him right after Vic left and he.... he was pissed understandably so but he wasn't mad at me..... he wanted to kill Vic and I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I enjoyed it, I kept thinking to myself that if I told him the whole truth then I would lose him and now I feel guilty, it's like I can't live with myself. So now I'm waiting to for him to come over here we're going to go back to his place and I'm going to tell him everything." Khalil said sadly.

"Khalil...... do you know how stupid you sound right now? It's like you don't get how lucky you are to have Marcus and.....

"Zo I know that's why I'm afraid to lose him...... I fucked up once and I swore that if I ever had a chance to make it right with him I would. I'm not going to lose him again Zo. I can't that's why I'm going to tell him everything." Khalil said quietly

"What are you going to do after that? Because you can't be around Vic if you're feeling this confused." I said.

"I don't want anything to do with that dude.... but without any proof there not too much I can do, the only thing I an think of is to just remove myself from this situation, I've been talking to a few people and from what I hear Dallas and Denver are both interested in me... you know once I heal so I was thinking maybe I should request to be traded." Khalil said.

"Okay that only helps with the short term, but you still need to handle this Vic situation or better yet let me handle it. You know I have no problems beating that niggas ass." I said seriously.
