Exiled

De'Vaugh 66

Before there was Lucci there was..... well there was a bunch of randoms, but before them there was Evan; it's kinda hard to describe our relationship mainly because we were never technically in one even though; we spent damn near every day together, he stayed the night at my crib and we weren't talking to other people. I know it sounds like we were in a relationship but we never put a label on what we were doing, eventually we just drifted apart, he went to college and I focused on music..... I can honestly say I loved him, but I was never IN love with him we were just boys who hung out and occasionally fucked. The ride back to the cabin was pretty normal, we caught up and filled each other in on what we've missed in each other's lives since we last talked which was right before Lucci, who I conveniently left out because I didn't want to go down that rabbit hole. Of course, Evan was still in school but we had been dancing one subject in particular that I knew we couldn't put off for too much longer especially since we were getting close to the cabin.

"Keep it real with me Evan... you been fuckin with any niggas at Georgia Tech?" I asked glancing at him out the corner of my eye.

"I've been so busy that I haven't even had the time to jack off..... like even during the summer I've been busy, so to answer your question, nah I haven't been at school fuckin other niggas which is a shame because there are some fine ass niggas there." Evan said and I rolled my eyes. "What you don't believe me?" Evan asked looking at me.

"Nah I believe you... it's just them Tech niggas don't got shyt on the niggas at The University of Georgia, Tech dudes got an overall ranking of 7, while UGA is sitting at a solid 9.5" I said laughing.

"I'll give you that... but that's solely based on the fact that I got a thing for chocolate niggas and them UGA niggas are some of that high-end Godiva chocolate, the kind that melts in your mouth and not in your hand." Evan said.

"Aight I get it...." I said because this nigga had a habit of going overboard with his descriptions of shyt and unless he was talking about me then I really didn't want to hear that shyt. "So how have you been keeping yourself.... y'know sane because sex is the best stress reliever and if you haven't fucked anything since you've been at college that means you're going on almost a year. I know you must be going through it." I said looking at him.

"I have ways of keeping myself focused.... Aight so what made you call me?" Evan asked looking at me and I shrugged come on De'Vaugh you know why you called so don't even act like you don't."

"I guess it's because I didn't want to be lonely this week..... Everybody is boo'd up except for me and I just didn't want to be alone, plus I wanted to see if your ass was as good as I remembered." I said smiling as we pulled into a gas station. "You need anything?" I asked and Evan shook his head. As I browsed through the aisle looking through the aisle, my phone started to ring and I was kinda surprised at who was calling. "Sup Unc?"

"Is Nazeer with you?" Uncle Neji asked and I could tell by his voice that something was wrong.

"Nah, but I'm like ten minutes away from his location. Why is everything alright?" I asked beginning to get worried.

"I'm not sure yet... he's not answering his phone and I just need to check on him. Natalie has been making some very suspicious moves these last few days and I just wanna make sure." Uncle Neji said.

"Aight as soon as I get back I'll have him call you, you know I won't let nothing happen to Naz." I said hanging up, I quickly paid for my stuff and damn near ran out of the gas station.

"De'Vaugh, I got ask... what happened with us?" Evan asked once I got back in my car.

"I just felt like we were going in two different directions, you were heading to college and I was dead set on making his music thing into reality..... and we never established what we were, I just figured we were boys who occasionally fucked." I said honestly.

"De'Vaugh we weren't going in two separate directions I was still in Atlanta and if I remember correctly you haven't moved.... and yeah I could've been more forthcoming with my feelings but at the time I wasn't exactly sure what we were.... I think I'm most pissed at the fact that we were boys and you just disappeared; you stopped responding to my text, ignoring my calls, basically you ghosted me." Evan said.

"I took a step back because I wanted you to enjoy college and yeah I could've handled it differently but I was busy and then.... then I met someone who turned my world upside down. And as fucked up as it sounds there was just something about that dude that was different, instantly I was in love with him and .... and hurting you was never my intention but when you love someone as much I loved him everything and everyone else melts away." I said quietly.

"So what happened?" Evan asked.

"It's a long story and I really don't wanna spend this entire week going over my past relationship.... I just wanna chill, catch up with my boy and see if we can rekindle our friendship that you fucked up." I said smiling.

"Oh, I fucked up? Aight bet we'll see by the end of this trip if you're singing that same tune." Evan said as we pulled into the driveway, I led him up to my room and introduced him to everyone that was present the only people who were missing was; Jacobi, August, and Chris who had gone somewhere and Nazeer and Scorpio but they were out on the dock talking quietly.

"Naz, Uncle Neji has been trying to call you." I said and Nazeer got up and started walking back towards the cabin. "Hold up I wanna introduce you to somebody, Naz this is my boy Evan... Evan this is my cousin Nazeer." Naz nodded and kept walking and I could tell he was felling type of way about me interrupting them but he'd get over it.

"Wassup Evan." Scorpio said and I could see he was pissed too.

"Ayy you mind giving me and Scorpio some space?" I asked Evan who nodded and he walked back towards the cabin while I sat next to my best friend. "Why are you so damn anger? You should be happy I even came back for your ugly ass." I said trying to get him to smile.

"I doubt that because you know I'd fuck you up.... but forreal DayDay you got the worst timing me and Nazeer were having a really deep conversation and you just had to bring your big headed ass over here ruining it." Scorpio said.

"Nigga y'all wasn't talking about shyt important, probably talking about science or politics or something." I said laughing.

"Actually we were talking about a relationship.... you know I don't like to jump into relationships and shyt, I like to move slow and get to know the person I'm talking to but your cousin man.... he's just." Scorpio couldn't seem to find the words to describe Nazeer and that told me exactly how he felt about my cousin.

"Scorpio.... bro go for it, I know you and I know Naz. Y'all niggas are perfect for each other and honestly, I couldn't think of a better person to date my little cousin than my best friend and I can't think of anyone better to date my best friend than my little cousin." I said and Scorpio shrugged.

"Bruh your cousin is beyond fucked up.... the shyt he went through with his mom..... just hearing that shyt hurts me and pisses me off at the same time. Like what kind of monster would put their child through the shyt that Nazeer had to go through." Scorpio said. "Which is why I wanna take this slow because there's really no telling what kind of psychological damage that 'woman' inflicted on Nazeer..... but we can talk about this a little later. These niggas are planning something for tonight and I'm lowkey nervous about what it is but given the look on Jacobi's face it's either really epic or it's going to scar me for life." Scorpio said getting up. I sat by the water thinking about what Scorpio said and the call I got from Uncle Neji... they both seemed worried about what Natalie had done/ is planning to do and that had me worried for my little cousin.....................

****** QUESTIONS ******

1) Who should get the next chapter; Slayer, August, Tripp, or Scorpio?

2) I know Vanilla was supposed to be the next chapter in Anthology but I'm kinda stuck so I've decided to move on until I have a clear idea about where I wanna go with that story, so until then what should be the next story in Anthology; Amor Prohibio, Muted, Proud Heritage, or New's Eve?
