The DL Chronicles

The Way Home Chpt.4

Oh my god , Tyrell thinks wondering if he just made the biggest mistake of his life telling his deepest darkest secret to someone he just met.

" Shiiiit nothin dude , wassup with those girls?" Tyrell said changing the subject really quickly. Shaking his head in disinterest " They aren't my type." Trevor told them with a look of distaste on his face. James still with an astounded look on his face walks out of the club slowly with his head held down.

Trevor and Tyrell leave aswell as if James ruined the night. They all arrived home walking into the living room , where Trevor fixed a plate of gumbo. " Hey man , don't tell my cousin okay." Tyrell begged in a whisper. "I'll give you anything you want ; money, a car, anything-- Tyrell was deeply desperate it was obvious he was ashamed of his sexuality.

" I'm not going to tell him anything, you have my word." James said not interrupting Tyrell. " But why wont you just tell him?" James asked in a whisper of confusion. "You never know how he would react , trust me he would understand." James said trying to give hints toward he and Trevor's relationship. "I'm just scared , I have a rep to protect." Tyrell told James in deep comfort. He explained everything to James as if James was a diary and Tyrell was writing the hell out of the pages. "So you were raped in prison , got out and now your on the DL" James said. Tyrell put his hand on James's mouth, making sure Trevor couldn't hear a thing.

" Yes ." Tyrell answered. He was rather upfront about it. The two got quiet as Trevor walked into the room. "Ahh , that meal was good." He said. Tyrell staring at James with eyes that begged him to not say anything. "Aye cousin , imma call it a night man." Tyrell said to his older cousin. "You sure?" Trevor asked knowing he was ready for him to go to sleep.

"Yea man it's been a long night." Tyrell said as he disappeared into the hall.
