Zac: Can I talk to you real quick babe?
Fatima: No go talk to whoever that is outside - rolling her eyes -
-Lori and Robin went in the living room-
Zac: Like why you gotta be so petty Fatima - getting annoyed-
Fatima: I'm not being petty Zachary, I'm asking you questions you couldn't even speak up so now I'm good, cause let it had been the other way around and it was some nigga, you'll be showing the fuck out!
Zac: Man don't even do that Fatima, and okay then she's staying here then - walking away-
Fatima: - following behind him - Yeah okay nigga ain't nobody staying here
Zac: - going to his man cave - You just said you didn't wanna talk why are you following behind me? Go back upstairs.
Fatima: You about to piss me!
Zac: - slamming his man cave door - - stern voice- Sit your ass down and let me explain Fatima.
Fatima: I don't know who you yelling at, but you sure not talking to me
Zac: Okay I get it, you mad..it may looks bad but it ain't what you think, or whatever stories you creating in that crazy head of yours Fatima. I'm sorry can you please sit down babe
Fatima: Then who is she Zac? - sitting down -
Zac: That's my little sister Gia, Jeremiah use to beat her ass, and my mom use to let him, same thing with me. One night jeremiah was mad about something I don't even remember why, and he like just snap, and started hitting Gia like she was some nigga out in the street, - getting emotional- and as her big brother I couldn't do nothing to protect her, because I was scared of the nigga to. - sitting down next to her -
Fatima: - feeling bad - - wiping his tears -
Zac: She was 7 - 8 I was about 15 Jeremiah was 18 and I remember it was like a Friday night football game that's where jeremiah was gone be, and my mom was somewhere getting high, so me and Gia planned to ran away, as we was leaving out the door, jeremiah walks in already on 10 I started fighting him and telling Gia to ran, and don't stop running just go - crying - but who tells that to a child.
Fatima: You was protecting her Zac, don't do that babe, because if she would of stayed in that house she probably wouldn't even be here right now, you did the right thing, and it's okay, everything going to be okay.
Zac: She got away, I didn't hear from her in years babe I don't know if she was alive, where was she at, my life was just so fucked up, one day I get DM with a phone number and then under it it said "Gia", I don't know if someone was playing a sick game on me, but I called the number and it was her - wiping his tears - she had a friend, the family who took her in, from that day until now that's where she's been I'm guessing , and I only got silent because I haven't seen her since she 7.
Fatima: I'm sorry babe, truly I really am, I don't know what to say, or what's the right words, but I'm here for you, and she's family now to, so just as I got you, I got her.
Kai: - opening the door - mommy daddy I'm hungry daddy thought you was going to get the food
Zac: - pulling himself together- I'm sorry I am buddy daddy about to go get the food.
Kai: - running over to Zac - Why you crying daddy - wiping his face with his shirt - it's going to be okay
Zac: Daddy okay, daddy was just talking to mommy about some things, but I'm better now.
Kai: Do you need a big hug?
Zac: Yes
Kai: - jumped off Zac, ran upstairs-
