The Next Day

Zac
I've thought about this mysterious woman all night! We had a connection I just don't know where it comes from! I can tell she's hurting! I don't know her story and I will not pretend to but I do know she has a long journey of healing ahead of her! I can't believe a nigga could be so cruel! My nana gave me bits and pieces but from what she told me, I'm already pissed! Idk how niggas like that are birthed into the world! I seen women this way often but this one hits a little too close to home and I'm trying my hardest to figure out why! I do know I need to go to her room so we can fill out her paperwork! I hope she isn't too scared of me! I'll never hurt her the way he did!

Fatima

My morning is okay! I showered and put on a cute dress! I wanted to feel pretty today despite how I'm feeling! Mrs. Ella brought over all my things from the house last night before I went to bed! She's really sweet and I think I just gained a new supporter personally!

Despite everything I starting to feel beautiful again! I'm trying not to break down completely but the things that I endured are still fucking with me! After the medicine the doctor gave me, my body doesn't hurt as much! Those muscle relaxers defi...

Despite everything I starting to feel beautiful again! I'm trying not to break down completely but the things that I endured are still fucking with me! After the medicine the doctor gave me, my body doesn't hurt as much! Those muscle relaxers definitely came in clutch and I've been thinking about Zac all morning! Idk if I'll see him today but I hope so!

*KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK*

Fatima, "Who is it?"

Zac, "It's Zac!"

Fatima opened the door and dropped her head! Zac walked up to her and lifted it, "Always hold your head high, that's what warriors do!" A tear fell and he wiped it!

Zac, "How are you this morning?"

Fatima, "I've been better!"

Zac, "Well I wanted to bring you a phone and I need to fill out your paperwork!"

Fatima nodded and they took a seat! Fatima opened her new iPhone and loved the color! She slid the case on and turned it on, it was already activated!

Zac, "We provide a great cell service! The phone is yours to keep! Idk if you have anyone you would like to call but if you do, we provide phones to give everyone their own sense of independence!"

Fatima was admiring the new Zac, he had blossomed so much and she was loving it!

Fatima, "Well thank you so much sir!" *fidgeting with her hands*

Zac gently laid his hand on hers, "Just call me Zac! If you're uncomfortable with our encounter I can come back!"

Fatima, "Uh No it's fine! I'm ready!"

Zac, "Can you tell me your full name please?"

Fatima, "Uh Fatima Channing Wilson"

Zac paused and looked at her, he took a deep breath and continued the questions!

Zac, "How old are you?"

Fatima, "I am 28 years old born October 18, 1996"

Zac, "Mother and Father's name?"

Fatima, "Gretchen and Marcus Wilson!"

Zac, "Any siblings or close relatives?"

Fatima, "Lori Myers, Angela Johnson and Jana Thomas (cousins)"!

Zac wanted to breakdown so bad and cry but he couldn't! He had to be strong for her! He never imagined getting her back like this!

Zac, "Any birthmarks or tattoos?"

Fatima, "I have a Tattoo of a Blue butterfly with the letter T and a heart on my right wrist!"

Zac, "Occupation?"

Fatima, "I am a Licensed Social Worker in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Philadelphia!"

Zac, "Do you have any credentials on you or paperwork?"

Fatima handed Zac the Manila folder she kept her birth certificate, social security card and her credentials in, she also handed him her license!"

Zac, "I'll make the copies and bring them back to you momentarily!" *standing up*

Fatima grabbed Zac's hand with tears in her eyes! Zac looked down at her, "Fatima it's okay! I know exactly who you are and I'm sure you know who I am! I will not pressure you into anything and I won't press the issue! We don't do that here! You will heal at your own pace and when you're ready to talk about it we can!" *he kissed her hand and walked out*

Fatima was bawling! She didn't want him to see her this way and she felt weak and small in more ways than one!

When Zac got out of her apartment, he let the tears fall! He went to his office to print her paperwork and went back upstairs to return her papers before heading back to his office! Tony, Meech and Jake were waiting!

Meech, "Nigga what's wrong with you?"

Zac, "Fatima is here and she looks really bad! I'm conflicted about a lot right now but I do know she's hurting!"

Jake, "You know for sure it's her!"

Zac, "Yes, from her paperwork to her credentials and the tattoo! It's her!"

Tony, "Does she know who you are?"

Zac, "Yeah she does!"

Meech, "Well did y'all talk about it?"

Zac, "No I'm not going to pressure her into it! She's been through enough! I got her file from the hospital and let's just say this has been going on for a while!"

Jake, "Damn man! Has she said anything about her cousins?"

Zac, "No and if I'm being honest, I don't think no one knows where she is!"

Meanwhile Fatima was upstairs programming numbers she remembered into her phone! She texted her Dad, Lori, Angela, Jana, and Her Mom! She was surprised to see that Jake, Tony, Meech, and Zac's number was in there as well and it had their occupations listed!

"Damn them niggas did well for themselves!"

Fatima ordered a laptop on her phone, some clothes, a printer, shoes, undergarments, and hygiene products! What Ian didn't know was she had called the bank because their account was joint, she closed that account and transferred all the funds to her private account on top of the 50,000 goose egg she had been hiding for a minute!
