Maneater

Chapter 14

Zana sat in her flat away from everyone.

She wasn't doing it on purpose, but she couldn't face Jack.

Not right now, not while she is still waiting for her closure.

She needed to be true and real to herself before she could be with him.

All of the text messages he sent were left on delivery and Zana wouldn't answer the door.

They all just assumed she was at work, because her car wasn't there, it was in the shop.

"Zana, why did you want to meet with me? Don't you have friends over for the rest of the week?"

Sarash spoke as she unlocked her daughter's door and walked in.

Zana was laying on the floor of her kitchen staring at the ceiling in silence.

"I raised that... Okay up." Sarah grabbed Zana's arms and pulled her up before sitting on the couch with her.

"What's going on?"

Zana looked at her mother and tears started to cloud her eyes.

"Mom-" Zana cut herself off before opening her mouth to try and speak again but she couldn't.

"Honey, just rip the bandaid off." Sarah spoke as she wiped her daughter's tears that fell down her face.

"I stream. I play video games with my friends, I just sometimes talk, do Q&A's, Corpse and I mess around, I stream and I get money from that-"

"You thought I would react badly?" Sarah cut her off with a soft smile.

"Well. No. I just- I didn't know how to tell you."

The pair stayed in silence as Zana contemplated her next move.

"And i'm gay. Like not fully gay- But- i like woman and men."

"Zana, as long as you're happy I don't care. I don't care what you do for a living, I don't care who you marry. I do not care as long as you're happy. Love is love, and you can stream all you want, that's who you are, and that's who you will be if you want to be."

Zana then broke down crying in her mothers arms.

All of the stress was washed away, all of the nervous overthinking was gone.

"Um. Mom, I want you to meet someone. Um..." Zana spoke before grabbing her phone.

She then unlocked the door and went back to sitting with her mom on the couch.

"I swear to god, if I'm about to get pied in the face right now we are going to have issues, Zana." Jack's voice spoke loudly throughout the flat.

"I'm in the living room, you whore."

Jack's footsteps could be heard throughout the house.

"Don't call me a whore you asshole- oh hello. Oh my god- that is your mother. Your mother just heard me call you an asshole." Jack put his hands over his mouth to stop him from speaking as Zana laughed.

"Mom, this is Jack, la mia canga. Jack, this is my mom." Zana introduced.

(My Bitch)

"Nice to meet you Jack, though i dont get why you just called him your-"

"Don't tell him what it means mom."

"No, now I want to know." Jack folded his arms before laughing and hugging the two women.

"Lovely to meet you Miss Lopez."

"She called you her bitch." Sarah whispered to the man during the embrace.

"I'm your bitch Zana?"

"Hell yeah."
