Zion Kuwonu

Chapter Seven

Sammy's P.O.V

As he walked away I was just in sigh. I have a good feeling about this boy. I think he can really take me away from my past. I smile to myself and walk into my house. Dang. It's 9? I hear my mom and dad talking at the dinner table. "But does she really need it? She's perfectly ok."

"I spoke with Zach. He said that he just wanted to check up on her. But I am the one who called first."

"Why would you do that? She's doesn't need it."

"Sweetie I don't know. I just. I feel like something's not right."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know how to explain it. I just-"

I interrupt. "What do I need?"

"Hi honey. Um we were just talking about you meeting with Zach again."

"What? Why?"

"Ask your father."

"Dad?"

"I just want you to be safe."

"Safe? Dad I'm fine. I don't need him anymore. I'm ok."

"I know, it's just-"

"Just what? Assuming things? Thinking I haven't gotten better? I am perfectly fine. Do you see anything on my arms?" I roll my eyes and head up stairs. I cant believe they're making me see that stupid Zach person.

He's kinda like my therapist. A couple years ago I was really depressed. I saw him almost every other day. At first he was cool, but as the months progressed he grew feelings for me. Everything was awkward and I couldn't even talk to him like I did before.

But the only reason why I'm making such a big deal out of it is cause he's Veronica's older brother. And let's just say the last time I was over at her house me and him kissed a few times, but not knowing he had a girlfriend.

I don't know. I just don't want to see him again. I walk in my room and shut my door. Oh my gosh. I sigh and lay on my bed. What am I gonna do? Run away? No I would never do that. I hear a buzz from my phone and I got really excited. I looked at it hoping it was Zion. But is was Veronica. I guess I'll answer it.

"Hello?"

"Girl tell me all about it."

"About what?"

"Bitch what you mean? Zion!"

"Oh. That thing." I blushed. "Well not much really happened. We just talked, did some graffiti, he gave me his vape, and then he walked me home."

"Wait. Graffiti? Vape? Walking you home? Girl I think he feeling something for you."

"Nah, I'm pretty sure he was just being nice."

"Zion Kuwonu? Nice? Yeah ok."

"Ok maybe he was? I don't know ugh."

"Just be careful. I don't want you to get hurt. Oh my brother says hi."

"Speaking of your brother. My parents are making me see him again."

"What? Why?"

"I don't know. They're crazy. Like I'm really fine. I don't need him."

"Aw that sucks. I'm sorry."

"It's alright. But anyways. Do you like Alex?"

"She's cool. Yeah. Why?"

"I was just wondering."

"Oh. Well I have to go. I'll try and talk Zach out of the session."

"It's ok. Sure it'll be fine."

"Ok ok. I gotta go. Bye I love you."

"Love you more hoe."

We hung up and I laid back down. I wanna text Zion. But that'll make me seem desperate. I just saw him. I cant get too attached.

Zion's P.O.V

As I walk back home I paint a few more things on random stuff. I actually kinda think Sammy's pretty cool. Considering she ain't smoke. But other then that, she's quite the girl.

Wait did I just say that. Gross. I shake the thought of her out my head, plug in my headphones, and continue to paint a little more.

I find an empty wall and smile to myself. Finally a clean space. I grab my blue can and make a big S. I detail it, putting depth, a boarder, and a shine. I grab more cans and began painting the first things that come to mind from tonight. I start to draw a female figure. I draw her with my hoodie, but crop top version revealing her stomach. I paint a little piercing on her belly button. In her hand she's holding a pink spray can, and in the other a vape. I try to figure out what I should do for the head and face since I'm not that good at faces. I decide to do a regular face but her eyes drip purple and the mouth covered. After that, I finish writing the name by putting an A and a M. To say SAM. I sign it with a smiley face and Z.

(Just imagine this spray painted on a wall. Ik it's bad)

I take a step back and look at it. I let go of the can I was holding from the realization of what I just did. Did I really just paint that Sammy girl. Fuck. This has never happened before. What's happening to me. Shit. I really just did that on a huge ass wall. Hopefully she doesn't see it. Fuck. Why is this happening now? This years gonna be stressful. Holy shit.

I try to shake her out of my head but I keep seeing her every time I close my eyes. Her smile. Zion what the fuck!

I pack everything up and hurry home. Hoping she stays out my head. Once I get to my house I jump in the shower and put on some comfy clothes. I sit at my desk and start messing with my laptop and mic.

Next thing you knew I'm covering Exchange. What is happening to me. What if- no. Can't be. Not possible. Actually it kinda is. I mean she is pretty fine. Zion what the hell is wrong with you? Do you like Sammy or something-? Oh fuck. Nope. Not gonna believe it. I cant even believe myself. Shit. I go down stairs to try and calm myself. Damn. It's already 2 am? Whatever. God, why is this happening?

I grab a Gatorade and left over pizza. I go back upstairs and just try to relax. I go to my closet and grab some weed from today. I roll and light. I take a hit and I instantly feel relieved. Ok now this is some good ass shit. I munch on the pizza and watch tv very low. I don't want my grandma to wake up. I feel so calm right now. Woah. Reality comes to me like a wave and I realize that I won't let no girl fuck me over. Fuck Sam. Literally. That's what I gotta do. And the rest of the year will be fine.

Time goes by and I see that it's 4. I wanna text her but I'm too lazy. Plus imma need some time to come down and just think. I fall into a deep slumber on my bed with a slice of pizza in my hand.

Sammy's P.O.V

Don't text him first. He'll text. Sooner or later. Ugh. Why did u stay up for this boy. Maybe I do need to see Zach. I need someone to talk to about me and Zion. I would talk to V, but she'll make fun of me, and I just met Alex.

Ugh. I'll just wait till tomorrow.

I say to myself: Good night Zion. And fall asleep.
