Brittany Hills Chronicles: Act 3

Xion 38

Lavercier was going to be pissed, we were supposed to meet up with him last night but uhh..... we were preoccupied, so now he wants us to meet up with him for breakfast and we were trying to get ready but there were other complications. Like when we first started getting ready Carter decided to get undressed in front of me to take his shower and I wanted to ignore it but.... then there was when I ran into the bathroom to take my shower first, I didn't think he'd pick the lock and come in there (he definitely made me regret that move), then when we were getting dressed again I accidentally smiled at him and well Carter doesn't like it when I smile... Then we were taking the elevator down to the lobby and Carter started sucking on my neck, I remembered I left something in the room and we had to go back to our floor... We didn't technically leave the hotel until.... the first quarter of the game and I knew once it was over Lavercier was going to be pissed. We made our way to our seats which were right behind the players bench, Lavercier looked at me and I saw that fire in his eyes, I mouthed sorry and he waved me off.... fuck.

"He looks really mad..." I whispered to Carter who started laughing. "It's not funny, look at him I can see the veins in the back of his neck and that only happens when he's really pissed." I said as Lavercier looked back at us and mouthed 'I'm fuckin you up'. "See he's going to kill me." I said nervously.

"Nah... I'm pretty sure he was talking to me, I'm willing to bet that he blames me for us being late when the truth is it was definitely all you. I love you Xi, but if it comes down to it I have no problem throwing you under the bus.... especially when it comes to Lavercier, look at him there's literal steam coming from his ears." Carter said shifting nervously in his seat. "Do you think that he'd be mad if he ducked his ass for the rest of our time in Georgia?" Carter asked, Georgia's offense took the field and it was a handoff with Lavercier getting the ball.... he was down the field before I could blink and my palms started getting sweaty.

"I think he'd be able to catch us.... did you see how fast he was running, I don't like our chances." I said and Carter slumped in his seat, for the next three quarters Lavercier was a man on the mission, he couldn't be stopped and it was becoming clear that our chances of getting away were slim to none.

The game ended and I knew we could either haul ass back to Ohio or we could face the demon and take our punishment, we sat in the parking lot of the stadium waiting for Lavercier to come out. I was really nervous, Carter kept tapping the steering wheel and as the seconds ticked away I became even more nervous... he was going to kill me and Carter, there was no other way around it.

"Our one-year anniversary is coming, I wanted to do something big but I think we should keep it small, just us together and no sex.... you're a freak so you'll have to restrain your self." Carter said smiling.

"You are really sitting there calling me the freak when you are always the one starting it, I be minding my own business and you come in out of nowhere messing with me. Real talk I'm thinking about cutting you off compl....... What's wrong?" I asked as Carter tensed up and his eyes got big, I turned around and saw a massive outline of a person walking towards the car, have you ever seen anyone walk angry? It was like the ground was shaking with each step Lavercier took.... maybe I'm over-reacting but I was scared. "Pull off...." I said watching as my brother got closer.

"It's like you said, I don't like our chances.... Come on, let's just get this over and done with." Carter said getting out the car and I followed behind him praying that Lavercier wasn't 'that' mad. "Good game...." Carter said and I gave him an annoyed look. "What he did his thing out there..."

"Y'all were supposed to be here yesterday.... I invited y'all down here to show y'all around campus and yet.... the first time seen either one of y'alls ugly asses was halfway through the first quarter." Lavercier said. "So explain to me why I shouldn't cave both of y'alls chest in for wasting my damn time." Lavercier said looking at me and Carter, I had a bitch moment where I stood behind Carter using him as a shield and if need be I would push him towards my brother as a sacrifice so that I could get away.

"We were exploring the city on our own, you would've just shown us stuff you like... I know what Xion likes so I figured it would be better if we y'know..... plus we kinda got here late as fuck and we were tired." Carter said.

"Y'all were fuckin the whole time weren't y'all?" Lavercier asked dropping his head. "Agh I swear y'all are both annoying as fuck.... come on I gotta go get changed for this party. Matter fact this is what we're about to do....." Lavercier said and I didn't like the look in his eyes because it told me he was about to treat me like a child.

We got back to the hotel and Lavercier made us go upstairs one at a time, sending me up first to get ready while he and Carter sat in the lobby, I really didn't appreciate being told what to do but I wasn't crazy enough to say it to Lavercier's face. When I got back down to lobby Carter and Lavercier were talking and I'm pretty sure I knew what they were talking about, but I wanted to be sure so I crept over to them and started listening only catching a few words but one stood out... Zelle.

"Carter head upstairs and get ready... me and Xion got a lot to talk about." Lavercier said and Carter nodded, he kissed me and walked towards the elevator leaving me alone with my big brother. "Is he treating you right?" Lavercier asked and I nodded. "Aight, don't get me wrong I like him but I'm breakin his fuckin neck if he hurts you."

"Carter is a good dude.... but why were y'all talking about that nigga Zelle? I thought he was locked up?" I asked and Lavercier nodded. "So what am I missing?" I asked.

"It doesn't matter Xi so leave it alone.... I was wondering if you wanted to come down here for Thanksgiving.... just you, I feel like we should spend some time together down here before I leave this school in April." Lavercier asked and I shrugged, I wasn't saying no but I wasn't saying yes either... I needed to think about it. "How's mom doing?" He asked.

"Better.... she's starting to get back to how she was before.... before everything happened. Jayceon died and dad went crazy." I said, noticing that Lavercier tensed up.

"Dad called me but... there's nothing to say to him, he tried to kill mom.... so as far as I'm concerned he's dead to me, but as long as mom is doing good then I can rest easy." Lavercier said and I could tell he had a lot on his mind.

"Is uhh.... is everything alright with you, how's your girl doing ummmm Shannon right?" I asked and Lavercier laughed.

"We broke up... she uhh, she was already making plans for my NFL money looking at houses and cars, planning trips for her and her friends, looking for lawyers to get her brother and cousins out of jail. I told her I wasn't feeling that shyt, my first priority is always going to be you and mom.... we argued then we started making up but she was trying to trap me, so we argued again and now I'm single." Lavercier said shrugged.

"Maybe being single is good for you.... just don't go out and find you a white chick, you already know mom will beat the black off your ass if you ever pulled some shyt like that." I said serious as a heart attack.

"I have never looked at a white chick in that way, I've always told myself that I was going to marry a queen. I want my kids to be fully and unapologetically black.... your boy doesn't know the meaning out subtle does he?" Lavercier said nodding to Carter and what could I say he loved wearing bright colors. We left the hotel and went to this party on campus, I don't think I've ever been to a college party before but there was melanin everywhere, wall to wall and I was definitely feeling it; Carter, however, seemed distracted and uninterested in everything that was going on.

"You good?" I asked walking over to him with a drink and he raised his eyebrow. "Don't worry it's Coca-Cola and I watched them make my drink, I've learned my lesson. Now, why are you sitting over here looking all sad?" I asked sitting next to him.

"Because.... as fun as this party seems, I really just wanna be alone with you." Carter said smiling, I looked around for Lavercier and noticed he was with some of his teammates talking to some girls and he seemed to have forgotten that I was even here.... typical niggas.

"I'll send him a text letting him know we're going back to the hotel." I said but Carter grabbed my hand.

"I don't wanna go back to the hotel, let's just walk around together and enjoy each other's company." Carter said and I nodded, we got up and walked out the house hand in hand... we weren't going to go too far from the party at least that was the plan until Carter started playing 'It Seems Like You're Ready' on his phone and well, I'm sure Lavercier will understand............
