Still Blinded

JT. 12

"JT get your narrow black ass down here right now" my mom yells. Jumping up from my bed I walk to landing at the top of the stairs looking down at my mom. Her eyes zoom in on me and she raises her brow. I already know what that means. Putting my head down I make my way down the stairs and avoid eye contact once I make it to her.

Being the black mother she is, the first thing she does is smack me in the head before telling me to look at her. Looking up at her while rubbing my head I can now see how pissed she is. She doesn't say anything as if she's waiting for me to say something. I know this is about DJ and I but I don't feel like talking about it so I just stand there and give her the same dumb look she's giving me.

"Boy, you better start talking before I kick my foot off in your ass. That boy loves you and you just walk by him like he's a piece of trash. What the hell is going on" she asked. "Nothing ma. We're just going through a little something right now. We'll be good soon (I hope)" I tell her.

"JT fix it before you leave. Whatever it is just fix it" my mom said giving me a quick kiss on the cheek and walking away. I stand there thinking about what my mom just said and images of DJ and I start to flood my mind. Lost in my thoughts I hear my mom call my name. "Yes ma'am" I look over at her standing in the entry to the kitchen. "Dinner is at 8." I nod and walk back upstairs to my room.

Laying across my bed I end up falling asleep. A few hours later I'm woken up by my friend Justin with his childish ass. This nigga is jumping on my bed laughing like the shit is funny. When he lands on the bed I take my hand and swipe it under his feet making him fall down beside me. We look at each other before we start laughing. "Bro I missed your big headed ass. Where's DJ funny looking self at? I was hoping to see him when I got here" Justin said.

Come on let's go to the mall I said avoiding everything he just said. I don't want to talk about DJ and me right now. Getting up I slipped on my slides, grabbed my wallet and keys and told my mom I'll be back before dinner.

"Bro I've been getting so much pussy at school. The chicks love a nigga on campus" Justin said reading a message he just received. "JT I'm telling you this chick texting me right now came over last night before I left to head home and I fucked her so good she couldn't stop shaking. I had to let her know who daddy is" Justin continue as I roll my eyes at him. "Man shut up don't nobody want your pea headed ass. You always say somebody is sweating you nigga." But the truth is Justin was a hoe. I love my bro but he fucked around a lot and him being at A&T was nothing but trouble for him. Parties and girls everywhere. "JT you know the bitches can't resist this dick," he said grabbing himself. I looked at this fool and we started laughing. Man I miss my homies from back home even though we're all in colleges that aren't far from each other. Hell Justin is only 45 minuets away from me.

We get to the mall and walk around and run into some friends from high school and buy a few things. As we were heading towards Footlocker Justin spotted DJ walking on the opposite side of the mall. Being the ignorant ass he is he had to yell DJ's name getting his attention. DJ looked up at us and Justin called him over. Feeling a tad bit nervous I quickly walk into Footlocker leaving Justin standing there waiting for DJ.

I look at a few sneakers before picking out two pairs I like. As I'm waiting for the attendant to bring me my shoes from the back I look and see Justin walking inside the store. I don't see DJ with him though. "Bro what the fuck is going on with you and DJ," Justin asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Can we talk about it when we leave. This isn't the time or place to discuss it" I said walking up to the register paying for my sneakers. "Thanks for visiting Footlocker come back and see us again," the attendant said as I grabbed my bag and walked towards the exit.

As Justin and I walked towards the mall exit I could see him from my peripheral vision looking over at me with a curious expression on his face. I knew as soon as we got to the car he was going to ask 21 questions as to why DJ and I didn't speak or acknowledge each other. As expected no sooner than I pulled out of the parking space Justin started in on me. "So we're just going to act like your boyfriend wasn't just in the mall and didn't even speak to you or vice versa?" I kept quiet and turned up the radio. "JT, Bro seriously what's going on? I can see it in your eyes right now that something happened and you're trying to keep that shit inside. Talk to me man" Justin kept nudging me.

"I think DJ is cheating on me again," I said barely above a whisper. Justin's neck snapped in my direction and we just looked at each other for a minute. I knew he was waiting for more details so I told him about that bitch ass nigga Brandon and how he's been pushing up on DJ and how DJ has been spending too much time with him for my liking. "JT I've known you for more than half my life so I know how u feel about people cheating, but do you honestly think DJ would step out on you again after what happened last year with you two. That man was broken for so long and once he got you back he vowed to never do it again. I think you're reading too much into it. If this dude is just helping him with his class then I'm sure that's all it is. If he's pushing up on DJ I think he would tell you if shit got to out of hand. He knows your temper so maybe he's trying to keep you from getting in trouble and getting kicked off the basketball team. Plus something tells me your not telling me everything either. So what else is going on?"

I forgot that Justin can read me like a book. If people around us didn't know us they'd think that we use to date because we're that much in sync when we're around each other. "One of my teammates grabbed my dick in the shower one day after practice. It happened so fast but I told him don't try no shit like that again. Since then he's been cool and hasn't tried anything but the other day I saw something on his phone when he wasn't paying attention.

Flashback

"Run nigga, run" Tyson yelled at the tv as we were watching the football game on Sunday. During halftime, Ty got up to get something to eat and left his phone sitting on the table. I was about to pick up the remote and saw a notification pop up on his screen from Instagram. Not really paying it any attention I glanced at the name and it seemed familiar but I couldn't think where I had seen it before. It was a DM so someone was sending him a private message. As I picked up the remote and sat back it clicked that the name on Ty's phone was that nigga Brandon. I know Ty has told me he knows Brandon a little from his parties but why would they be sending private messages to each other?

End of flashback

"The shit didn't sit well with me but I didn't let it affect my mood. We watched the rest of the game and went and worked out afterward but I've been thinking about it a lot since it happened" I said as we pulled into my driveway. "JT I know how you get but talk to DJ. I think you both need to talk. Does he know about this dude grabbing your junk in the showers?" "Nah. I never told him about it plus I've been staying with the dude and if I tell DJ he might think me and Tyson are fucking around. I don't know if I can tell him what happened." "My advice is to just tell him. Put everything on the table and see what happens. I love you bro so I'm telling you to just do it because shit seems to be getting a little messy" Justin said.

Justin and I talked for a few more minutes and as we were getting out of my car DJ pulled in his driveway. Justin and I stood there for a while and DJ just looked over at us and nodded his head at me and walked in his house. I felt a slight pain in my chest because I knew what Justin was saying was the truth. I needed to tell DJ what happened and we needed to talk about Brandon also. Maybe I'll talk to him tomorrow sometime. Tonight I'm just going to spend time with my mom and dad. I dapped Justin up and we parted ways after making plans to get together tomorrow night.

Maybe I should've listened to Justin right then and there because little did I know, my mom was about to set my ass up.

Justin's fine ass
