Zatima:We really doing this?

Can we stop running?

Zac POV 

I can not believe what Fatima just said to me...she cant have kids? I stand there shocked as tears start to wail up in my eyes. Fatima leans over the counter with her hands over her face to hold back the tears that are already streaming down her face. 

I walk over to her and give her a big hug and let her cry in my embrace. I rub her back as she sobs in my arms. 

Zac-I am so sorry T

We stay like this for the next several minutes, until I hear my phone vibrate in my pocket. This causes Fatima to pull away from the embrace. 

Zac-yo...aight...one sec 

Zac-that was um Jean 

Fatima-oh shit I forgot he said he would be waiting for you outside 

Zac-I um...can stay if you need me too or if your okay with that? 

I can tell that Fatima thinks about it for a second but instead she just shakes her head no. 

Zac-T your not okay...just let me at least stay with you and hold you for a while. 

Fatima-No Zac...seriously it is okay...I just want to lay down.

Zac sighs and returns to the phone call and tells Jean he will be right out. Zac pulls Fatima back into another hug. They pull away as he kisses her forehead. 

Zac-you know that I am here to talk 

Fatima just nods her head okay and gives a reassuring smile and with that Zac leaves out. Fatima grabs her purse and heads upstairs to her masters bedroom. 

Fatima POV 

I run myself bath water. I just want to forget about todays events. I look at myself in the mirror with baggy eyes and tear stains. I turn my bluetooth on and play my r&b playlist. I take my pill bottle with my anxiety pills and pop one in my mouth.

Take off my silk robe and get into my warm bubble bath. I lean my head back and try to release some of the stress and tension from my body. 

Zac POV 

I cant stop thinking about Fatima and how she is feeling right now. I know that I should have stayed with her. I take a drink from my Hennessy bottle. I pick up my phone and decide to text her... 

Zac-Hey...are you okay? 

I wait for the three dots to appear... 

Fatima-whats up? 

Zac-can I come check on you? 

The three dots appear and then slowly fade away. I roll my eyes and decide to send a double text. 

Zac-fuck it I am coming...we need to talk. 

I grab my coat and keys and head over to her house. I make it over, she does not live too far away from me. 

She answers the door with her hair in a messy bun and a black silk robe on, looking good as ever but I can still tell that she has been crying. 

Zac-you gon let me in? 

Fatima rolls her eyes and steps away from the doorway to let Zac in. Zac tries to take his eyes off her from behind but he cant help the way that it looks in that silk robe. He motions to grab it but he stops himself and looks up at the ceiling and says "Give me strength" he follows her into the living room. 

They sit on the opposite ends of the couch. 

Fatima-so? 

Zac-so... 

Fatima-Zac what do you want? 

Zac-how long have you known that you cant have children? 

Fatima-damn you jumped right into it didnt you? 

Zac sighs 

Zac-if I dont...you will just run away from me again Fatima 

Fatima looks away from him. 

Zac-you see...

Fatima-Zac I have so much baggage that you would not even want to be with me if you knew half of it 

Zac-and you think I dont T? 

Fatima-I ju-

Zac cuts her off. He scoots closer to her and takes her hand in his. He looks her deep in her eyes. 

Zac-can we just stop running? can we really talk? 

Fatima just looks deep in his eyes and shrugs her shoulders......
