Ghosts down the block.

Zion

Zion flipped his football several times. He wanted to talk about something with his Father but couldn't since his own Father didn't tolerate his own son that much. His Father always had an opportunity to bring Zion's mental and social heath down, his son manages to balance it out sometimes, behind doors Zion's Father is just downright awful, in person you would think he's an angel that help, serve and save people because of the money that the Family has , yeah they might donate but that still isn't enough on what goes on in the Hurston's Family house. "Father, do you think I'll have a chance at the football team?" his father looked up from his coffee and with heavily annoyed eyes said "With your scrawny arms and legs, they'll fold you like a   

cardboard box, you'll be better off with drama or cooking club-" he then said chuckling "or and  perhaps- dare should I say.. CHEERLEADING'' Zion got really furious and shouted "WELL SHEESH I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS IF YOU WERE A ACTUAL FATHER, YOU COULD HELP ME TRAIN!!!" His father stood up and backhanded Zion "Disgraceful children I  say, HOW DARE YOU YELL AT ME I DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU, YOU NEED NOTHING, YOU HAVE EVERYTHING,I CHOSE WHAT YOU DO AND THAT'S FINAL!". Zion ran upstairs

 got ready for School. He ran down the stairs and out the door sticking the finger up at his Father "jerk.." he whispered to himself. He saw Desmond and ran towards him while giving him a nice nougie on the head "Ha ha..Stop it ya weirdo!" Desmond said "It's not my fault that you didn't come to get me!" Zion said happily. "I kinda heard yelling out of your house-" he said as they went into a halt "-sorry for getting in your business but what's wrong?" Zion looked at him nervously and just said "You know how parents are.. Pushy in their own ways" with a happy-concerned looking face. Yea I know how parents are,  Desmond thought " They swallow you, chew you and spit you out like trash. There are never bad children… just bad pare-""Not all of them are Bad though.. even the ones who are trying to fix the problem with the other parent who's doing wrong." Zion said, stopping Desmond in his words. For the rest of the walk they grew silent, like crickets when a predator is nearby. They walk into the school and go about their day. The next day Zion doesn't go to school instead his dad just scolded him all day about not going say that he needs perfect grades if he wants to go to a good college, "I don't even want to go to College I want a actual Job first save money and Travel the only reason I chose football was because I thought you would've been proud of your only boy!." Zion said angrily "Shut up you useless child, we're going to your school right now" " I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH YOU!" "If you don't come I'll make sure Desmond doesn't even have a way to COLLEGE!!" Zion froze and Thought about it, he knew that if they didn't pay for the tuition Desmond would be crushed. " fine." Zion said "That's a nice lad" his dad said. When they got into the school Zion immediately ran off and his Dad chased him all the way into the boiler room where they then had an argument "You are such a disgraceful child you want nothing to do with your life.." "You know what dad I'll just move out.." His dad looked at him as if he was stupid and goofy " BAHAHAHA You MOVE OUT??!!.. I don't really care if you stay or move out… I'll just go HAHA.." his dad then walks out the boiler room and leaves Zion There .. That's when he hears mumbles in one part of the boiler room.. he opens the door to the room "Uh.. Hello?" He sees a Human and a black figure and the figure instantly runs towards Zion with the human saying "NO DON'T DO IT!" and everything turns black.
