Fatima Wilson - Taylor

"Yo tima?"I looked up as I heard a knock on my door to see Zachariah.

"Your dad just left to work if that's who you're looking for."I said as he shook his head.

"I actually wanted to talk to you."He said lowly.

"What's up?"I said giving him my full attention putting my computer down patting the bed beside me as he closed the door.

"I uh i been thinking and I want to apologize for the way I've been acting towards you especially it's just I got my mom in my ear telling me one thing then everything else is so much so I decided to take what they and I got going on out on you and for that im sorry."He said as I nodded.

"Zachariah i understand believe me I do more than you'll ever know. I know I say you alot like your dad which you are but I also see a lot of my self in you it's why when we do talk I say the things that I say because I want them to stick with you forever."I said as he nodded.

" thank you Fatima and can you tell dad I'm sorry?"He said getting up going to walk out.

"Yes sure. One more thing."I said

"Yeah?"

"Where did you go during Micheal's football game?"I said as he almost visibly choked.

"Huh?"He said as i shook my head.

"If you can huh you can hear i wont say it twice."I said

"We went to go get concession-

"Zachariah I don't like to be lied to and I know you know that so I'd rather you just not.Now listen I know you went somewhere I just hope you didn't do what I think you did...I pray that you stopped to think and decided that's not what you want for yourself."I said feeling in my soul that Zachariah did not and chose to be a dumbass.

"I don't know what you talking bout."He said

"I can help you-

"Sorry but Mom there is a woman downstairs looking for dad and she keeps saying she wants to see her son. I didn't open the door though but her knocking is messing with me."Michael said opening the door rubbing him arm up and down showing he was uncomfortable most likely due to the knocking.

"What?"I said confused.

"Yes she said her name was heather I didn't open the door though."He said repeating his self.

"Go to yall room now Zachariah we'll finish this later."I said as this was the one time he went to his room without any thing to say back.

"Bitch you better get off my doorstep before i shoot you."I said pulling out my Glock cocking it.

"Fatima I don't want no problems I just want my son. Where's Zac?"

"My son. And Zac aint here"I said getting more pissed off by the second as I saw Zac's car pullup fast.

"What the fuck? Baby put the gun down."He said as I continued to stare at her with my gun up.

"Nah im good."I said

"Heather what do you want?"Zac said rubbing his temple.

"I want my son back I've changed and I want to be back in his life."

"Bitch you got some nerve ."I stepped  forward as Zac pushed me behind him lightly.

"Fatima chill please. The kids are inside."He said as i put the gun down still holding it.

"Heather Micheal is 17 there's nothing you can do for him he doesn't even remember you and why would i let you meet him let alone take him all the shit you put him through? Man gone on with that bullshit."Zac said

"It's not up to you and plus you've been served here."She said holding up papers to Zac as i snatched them reading it.

"Bitch is you crazy?! Do you want to die?!"I siad pissed. "She wants full custody of Micheal.

"What?! He's fucking 17 how can she do that?."Zac said

"I'm done here. I'll see my son soon. Bye Zac."She said walking away.i put the gun back on safety as I held my head down trying to fight tears but couldn't. I pushed Zac as he tried to hug me.

"No no move."I said breaking down.

"Fatima..."He started as I cried and he dropped a tear too.

"This bitch trying to take my son...my baby.."I said shaking my head as I put my hands on my knees feeling like i couldn't breathe Zac finally embracing me.

"Breathe Fatima breathe...we not gon let that happen"He said holding me.

"You gotta slow down come on you needa sober up before I take you back home."He said guiding me to the restroom turning on cold water.

"This is supposed to help you not to be your escape from reality your abusing them."He said making me get in fully clothed as I instantly threw up.

"What do you want from me."I said lowly while wiping my mouth.

"I want you to be ok...I care about you Karter you like my lil sis just promise me you'll only take one a day?"He said as I looked down.

"Promise."He said again as I finally gave in.

"I promise."I said as he left and came back.
