Chapter 42: Let's Do Lunch 

*Kamaal's POV*

After struggling to get upstairs, I finally make it to my room. I lay on the bed, turn on the tv and start flipping through channels. Damn this shit is crazy. This pain is insane. I can't believe I won't be able to ball for a while. I'm gonna miss the playoffs. Like I said before, I was the bomb diggity. Before I get in my feelings, I hear a knock on my door. I yell for them to come in, and Chris walks in. My face lights up as soon as I see him. 

"Hey bae"

"Hey boo. I brought something for us to watch and ice cream."

Chris pulls out a small tub of Cookies and Cream Ice Cream and a DVD. 

"Awww you brought my three favorite things."

"Really? What's the third?" Chris asks as he puts the movie in

"You just wanna feel special, you know it's you."

"Aww, scoot over."

Chris cuddles next to me as we watch the movie. Somethin was really on my mind and Chris sees it.

"Bae what's wrong?"

"Nothin, why?"

"Cause this is your favorite part, and you're not paying attention." Chris says

"Well somethin has been botherin me since we left the hospital. You remember when Dr. Carter said Jamal was his son?"

"Yeah I remember that bullshit. What does that have to do with anything?"

"Well you were about to say somethin, but Trey and Myra stopped you. What were you about to say?" I ask him

"I was gonna tell him the real reason why you got hurt."

"I fell, I'm pretty sure he was aware of that."

"Kamaal were you not paying attention to what happened?"

I'm stuck. I fell, and that's what happened. Is it?

"Yeah, but- wait...I fell."

"Yeah you did, but what caused you to fall?" Chris asks me

"I don't know....maybe my shoes were untied or somethin or I just lost my footing...yeah that's what happened."

"Wow you don't know what really happened."

I'm so clueless right now, it ain't even funny. All I know is that I fell, unless there's more that I don't know. Ugh, I'm so confused.

"Babe cut the shit and tell me what happened."

Chris sighs and prepares to tell me what happened at the game.

"While you were in your zone, I stopped focusing on you for a while and turned my attention to Jamal and Michael. I told Trey to look at them too so I could have an extra set of eyes. It looked like they were looking for trouble. Anyway, as you were running down the court, Jamal and Michael were on opposite sides of you supposed to be blocking their opponents. Jamal and Michael let them get past and they ran toward you. Michael bumped you from behind starting your fall, and Jamal had his foot out right where you fell.

"Wait, so you mean to tell me-"

Chris shakes his head up and down and rolls his eyes.

"Hell yeah, those niggas set you up."

At this point I'm pissed. This fuck nigga set me up and got Michael's punk ass to help him? Lettin this shit ride is the furthest thing from my mind. Revenge is controlling my thoughts.
