Quamir was in surgery and I punched Saint in the mouth.... was it my best idea, probably not but I needed someone to take my anger out on and I couldn't get to Quamir. I knew I shouldn't be angry at Saint but he was just as much at fault for what happened as Quamir was, but he had enough to deal with Mi'Nessa being sick and I really did owe him an apology...... I sat pacing around the waiting room, every time I saw a doctor my heart would drop until around seven in the morning when I got the news that Quamir would be alright. I was still waiting to be able to go back and see him but just hearing that he was going to be okay lifted my spirits, since I couldn't see him just yet I went home and took a quick shower and changed since I was still wearing the same bloody clothes I was wearing when I found Quamir unconscious on the sink. Before I left the house I noticed Trinity in the backyard painting..... he must've really been in the zone because whenever Trinity painted the more focused he became the more his clothes seemed to fall off and he was standing there wearing nothing but socks.
"Trinity, are you aight bro?" I asked as he furiously mixed colors and basically ignored me, which I was used to because Trinity was in Trinity World. "Trinity.... ayy Trinity I'm about to go up to the hospital to check on Quamir...." I said walking over to him and touching his shoulder.
"I need more tiger orange.... this looks too much like yam orange and my painting won't be complete without tiger orange..... also while you're at the store grab some more denim and ocean blue..... I would ask Xavier to do it but when I walked into his room Maseo's dick was halfway down his throat while Odi's dick was in his ass so I highly doubt they'll be any help and Marcel is in class so you're my only option." Trinity said unblinkingly.
"Bro I'm not going to the store I'm going to the hospital to see Quamir..... you know my boyfriend who showed up at the house later night bleeding?" I asked irritated.
"And make sure you pick up our suits for this Halloween Party, Cori can't do it because he's busy so I'm leaving it up to you." Trinity said turning his head slightly and then tossing the canvas across the lawn. "I gotta start over....." He said walking back into the house and ignoring everything I had just said, I hated when he got like that but for him, painting was easier than dealing with reality.
I got back to the hospital to find Quamir sitting up in bed shoving a Mcgriddle in his mouth, when he saw me he smiled and I was tempted to rip his bandage off and punch him in the side; but instead I climbed into bed next to him and waited for him to explain what the hell happened to him.
"I didn't get stabbed.... it was more of an accident than anything else, I was trying to get away from something and I ran into a metal something. I was so focused on getting the hell outta dodge that I didn't realize I was cut up until got halfway towards your house." Quamir said smiling. "Kylan I swear to you I wasn't doing anything dangerous....." Quamir said looking into my eyes and I wanted to believe him but with everything going on......
"When you first told me what you did I was scared because every time you walked out the door I wasn't sure if I was going to see you again and I promised you I wasn't going to try to make you stop because at the end of the day it's your decision..... But Quamir you have to be careful seeing you last night it......" I couldn't finish because Quamir started kissing me.
"I wasn't all the way out of it, I caught bits and pieces so can I just say hearing how calm and cool you stayed throughout the whole process was sexy as fuck." Quamir said smirking. "But I see where you're going Ky.... and I'm close to figuring out what happened at your uncle's wedding, you have my word that once I do and this situation is settled I'm done." Quamir said kissing my palm.
"Quamir.... I......" I said trying to get a word in but he kissed me again silencing me. "I hate when you do that, I'm trying to have a serious conversation and you keep distracting me.
"I'm sorry Ky, but you taste like honey and you know that's my favorite flavor anything.... I'll be more careful I promise." Quamir said and before I could press him more on the matter his parents walked in with his daughter who broke down crying so I knew it was time to go. "You leaving?" Quamir asked sadly.
"Yeah I'll give you some time with your family but I'll be back later today I promise, I love you." I said walking out the room, something wasn't adding up with me he said he wasn't doing anything dangerous yet he was also still looking into whatever happened at Uncle Zyshaun's wedding which sounded dangerous to me.
"Ayy Kylan come here right quick." Saint said and I nodded as we walked over to the window. "Saint about last night, look I'm sorry I was trippin and....." Saint cut his eyes and I instantly stopped talking.
"Kylan, I love you but cousin or not if you ever punch me again I'll fuck you up." Saint said looking into my eyes and I smirked. "You think it's funny but I'm being dead serious, now I need you to do something for me, I haven't heard from Darion in a couple days and he's not answering his phone..... I'm worried about him so I want you to go over to his apartment and check on him With Uncle Devin and Blaze gone and Odion..... well he's busy I really wanna make sure he's okay." Saint said handing me his key to Darion's apartment and I nodded. Saint's worry had me worried about Darion because Dari wasn't the type of person who would disappear without checking in so now I was on pins and needles given everything that was going on around our family.
I got to Darion's apartment and the first thing I noticed was the clothes that were thrown haphazardly around his living room, that was my first sign that something wasn't right because Darion was a neat freak, if I drop a crumb on the floor he'd be in his feelings so I knew something was up with him. I walked into his bedroom and slowly opened the door, me and Darion's eyes met and I quickly closed it behind me..... that was something I never wanted to see again.
"What are you doing here Ky?" Darion asked a few minutes later joining me in the living room with Fabricio by his side. Fabricio kissed him and walked out the apartment leaving me alone with my cousin.
"So are y'all back together?" I asked and Darion smirked.
"Nah..... but we're still friends now answer my question what are you doing here?" Darion said and I felt a cold shiver go down my spine, something about Darion was different his eyes seemed more cold and distant, almost like Saint's.
"Nigga you've been M.I.A. and Saint was worried about you...... why haven't you been answering your phone and why haven't you been to school?" I asked and Darion started laughing.
"What day is it?" Darion asked pulling his phone. "Damn it's Friday? I thought it was Wednesday....." Darion said shaking his head.
"What have you been doing these last few days Dari?" I asked and he picked up a book and smiled.
"Studying this book.... last night I tried Noite de 100 Orgasmos (Night of 100 Orgasms) and let's just say things got crazy. But I really need to take a shower, I'll call Saint once I'm done.... damn, I need to clean up in here." Darion said shaking his head and walking to the back of his apartment with that book tucked securely under his arm. Now that I knew Darion was safe I went to pick up our suits for this Halloween party Trinity was throwing and grab him some paint. When I got home Trinity was still in the backyard painting, Marcel was doing homework in the study, Maseo and Cori were both gone which was perfect.
"Here man....." I said handing Trinity his paint and he still seemed lost in Trinity World. "Bro if you wanna talk about what's bothering you, I'm here if you need me." I said and Trinity kept painting. I took a step back and started watching him paint, the longer I stood there the more the picture became clear. "Who is that?" I asked looking at the picture, Trinity looked at me and shrugged before walking into the house.
"Ayy Kylan I just got a call from JD, ummm Cortez might be getting expelled so you need to go see wassup with him." Marcel said and I felt myself getting pissed what the fuck did he do now..................................
