The rest of the day I was quiet, and wrapped up in my thoughts. I couldnt believe that Noah actually said some of those things to me. We had exchanged numbers so I was definately gonna have to get into that conversation when we had more privacy. Me and Court were just chillin watchin t.v. for the rest of the night. I was sittin up playing in his hair and he laid down in my lap.
Court: Bae u sure u ok?
Shawn: Yea im ok, why u ask that?
Court: Its just u been real quiet since we came home from Noah's crib. Yall wasnt fakin to get along because of me were yall?
Shawn: Nah bae.(i laughed) He actually pretty cool, and I think we gone be real good friends wit time.
Court: So what did yall talk about?
Shawn: Huh?...
Court: What did yall talk about when I was in the bathroom?
Shawn: Um..Nothin really I-
Just when I was about to answer his question my phone started ringin, thank God.
Shawn: Hello
Guy: Hey is this Kreyshawn?
Shawn: Who dis?
Douglas: This is Douglas, yo moms husband. I got yo number from yo cousin I hope it wasnt a problem.
Shawn: Nah its ok I guess, but whats wrong did something happen to my sister?
Douglas: No she's fine now, and making a full recovery. I was calling because your mom is having a get together tomorrow, and I want u to come.
Shawn: I dont think that would be a good idea.
Douglas: Look I know I havent been married to your mom that long, but I can tell she misses u. I also would like the chance to get to know u and im sure Bre would love to know she has a brother.
Shawn: Fine, but if this lil peace maker stuff u tryna pull blow up in yo face. Dont say I didnt warn u because I know how Darlene is.
Douglas: Alright man so ill see u tomorrow right?
Shawn: Yea I guess.(i said flatly)
I hung up the phone, and Court was lookin at me because he heard the whole conversation.
Court: So...
Shawn: So what...
Court: Are u gonna go?
Shawn: Nope.
Court: Why not bae I think it really is a good idea.
Shawn: Because I got goals I plan on accomplishing in my life, and I dont wanna get side track by gettin arrested for murder.
Court: Man u crazy shawty.(he laughed)
Shawn: I might be but im dead ass serious.
Court: What about if I go wit u would u go then?
Shawn: U would really go wit me?
Court: Yea bae I know how u feel about ya moms and I wouldnt let u face that alone.
Shawn: Awww thanks bae.(i said kissing him)
Court: U welcome. Now what did u and Noah talk about?
Shawn: Nothin damn why u being nosey.
Court: Oh so I cant know?
Shawn: Theres nothing to know we just found a common ground thats all.
Court: Oh...ok.
After that I just left it alone because I dont even fully understand what happened. The next day we just laid around until it was time to head out. When we arrived at the house it was still like a remembered it. There were a lot of cars here so I knew that meant most if not all of my family was here. That wasnt a good thing at all though. Now I was gonna be around my mama, and my back stabbin ass cousin. Before I even had the chance to knock the door flew open, and there stood Douglas.
Doug: Glad u decided to come after all, and u brought a friend.
Shawn: Boyfriend. His name is Courtney.
Doug: Oh, ok even better. Nice to meet u im Douglas
Court: Nice to meet u too.
Doug: Well come on in.
I looked over at Court who seemed to be beaming wit pride because of the way I introduced him. All I could do was smile, and grab his hand leading him in the house. When we reached the living room it got real quiet, and everybody turned around to stare at us. I was really one of those awkward moments when a black person walks into a place full of white people. Then my mom walked in laughin at whatever her and Doug were talkin about until she saw me.
Darlene: Who the hell u let him in my house?
Doug: Baby calm down I thought it would be a good idea to invite him. I want yall to move past this foolishness.
Darlene: Sure we can as soon as he stop livin that life of sin i'd be more than happy to accept him back with open arms.
Shawn: I told u this was a bad idea. I think it would be best for her if I leave.
Darlene: Yea I think u should.
Doug: No he's not going anywhere. Baby u need to settle this mess thats your son, and always will be.
Darlene: I dont need to settle a damn thing, and he needs to get out of my house.
Shawn: U know u got a whole lot to say about me and the s***t I do. Arent u the same person that got pregnant by a married man that left u lookin stupid which is why I never knew my father. The same person that use to take money out of the offering bowl at church every sunday. The same dumb ass b***h that decided to get behind the wheel while intoxicated wit my lil sister in the car which is why u had that accident. All of those things u chose to do, but I didnt choose to be gay.
Doug: U did what!?
Darlene: Baby he's f***kin lyin!
Shawn: Now whose the sinner.(i said wit a smirk)
She was so mad and embarrassed she turned red in the face which is hard considering her skin tone. She didnt say anything as she stormed off back into the kitchen because everybody gave her dirty looks. The rest of the evening was pretty cool though. I was catchin up wit my family that I aint seen in a while and got the chance to play wit my sister. We fell in love wit eachother instantly like she always knew who I was. Courtney was even gettin along wit everybody which shocked me considering how religous my family is, but they accepted him. I even got to know Doug better, and he turned out to be a really great guy. He was a good father, and a very sweet person. How the hell did he end up wit the devil in a females body. Then the one person I had been avoiding all night found her way to Courtney. She was in his face flirting, laughin and rubbin all on him tryna be seductive, but only looked like a hoe. None other than that back stabbin ass cousin of mine, and I was about to shut her ass down. Court kept makin eye contact wit me wit the please help me look on his face. I found it kinda funny at first so I just sat there laughin for a while until the b***h really started pissin me off. When I walked over I slapped her hand off of him then stood inbetween them, and got in her face.
London: What the f***k is yo problem.
Shawn: U are, and ima need for u to keep yo hands to ya self. Go enjoy yo night, and stay the f***k away from him. He aint like Dre so ya chances are slim to none. Dont make a fool of yo self b***h so stop while u ahead.
London: Boy what r u talkin about we were just talkin.(she laughed)
Shawn: Like I said stay away from him, and ill stay off yo ass.
She smacked her lips, and walked off looking stupid. Then court walked up behind me and kiss me on the cheek.
Court: Thanks bae, I thought she would never leave me alone.
Shawn: She wouldve been tryna rape u if yall were alone.(i laughed)
We laughed at the advances my cousin made on him for a while then returned to the party. It felt good to finally be around my family again, and not feel like an outcast. I got up to go get some more food, and courtney followed me. When we got in the kitchen I heard Doug arguin wit my mom about the accident even though they were tryna be quiet. Clearly she lied to him about the reason it happened, and I wasnt suprised. It wouldnt be the first time she kept something from him. As I got closer it just confirmed what I was thinkin.
Doug: What the f***k is wrong wit u how could u be so damn irresponsible.
Darlene: Baby im sorry it was a mistake, but it dont matter now she's ok
Doug: Doesnt matter! How many more secrets r u keepin from me? First u dont tell me about Shawn, and now this. U almost killed my f***kin daughter wit yo stupid ass. U might not give a s***t about yo son, but I be damned if u treat Brea the same way. (SLAP)
Darlene: How dare u talk to me like that! I love my son I do, and it kills me to not have him in my life more than u know. So dont talk to me like u know what the f***k im goin through. I keep certain s***t from u because some s***t u dont need to know. Ever since u found out about shawn u bug me about the s***t everyday, and then u invite him here. God sometimes I wish u would learn how to let s***t go.
Doug: Oh so u want me to learn how to let s***t go huh? Well how about I start wit yo ass!
Darlene: Wh..what? Baby wait u dont know what u sayin.
Doug: Get the hell off of me. When u get done keepin all of these f***kin secrets call me wit yo hypocritical ass! I dont know how the f***k I ended up wit such a heartless b***h as a wife. U turned yo back on a child who in my opinion is a great kid all because of his sexuality, and u way worse of a person than he could ever be. Honestly I think u did him a f***kin favor by lettin him escape yo ass.
He walked past me, and court as we stood there wit our mouths damn near touchin the ground. I looked back over at my mom standin there wit tears in her eyes. She started walkin towards me looking furious. For whatever reason its like I was frozen wit shock, and didnt know what to do.
