Zion

It's been a week and I still haven't talked to anybody, and I haven't eaten and it's just me in this lonely ass house Zay and trey try to talk to, but I just sit here and drown myself with Hennesy and smoke weed. I know I look bad even though I didn't look in the mirror, I haven't taken a shower cause I'm always sitting in the same spot. I can say I'm officially depressed.

"Zion open the door now I aint playin witchu." This time it was my father. I sighed but I still ain't open it.

"Zion let me talk to you." It was insane so I think trey and Zay with him to. I shrugged. Tears started pouring down fast.

Soon after a while somebody kicked the door in. I got up and went to the bathroom. "Damn who tf died in here." I heard trey say.

"Trey shut the fuck up damn." I heard Zay say this time. I got up to use the bathroom and walked out. I had my jacket on, so I put hood on and walked pass them to go to the kitchen.

"Zion bro this shit ain't healthy have you even ate." I shook my head no and went to the kitchen.

"ZION JORDAN BROWN TELL ME WHAT TF IS GOING ON." I looked at my dad and tears started coming down.

"She-she left, she really left, and I can't do shit about it cause Ima fuck up. I fuck everything up without thinking until the consequences hit me, so just leave me alone I won't hurt nobody daughter heart. I could just be alone, or I could get dog or some shit." I told them.

I was weak and I could barely stand so Zay had come to support me. "Zion we could talk about this I could talk to sa-." I put my hand up to stop him.

"Please don't say her name. But don't you understand she isn't coming back if that baby is mine. Ima be alone with a baby from the devil." Tears were still coming down.

Zay hugged me while cried in his shirt, he let go and I almost fell but he caught me. I was feeling weak and
my eyes closed slowly. I made a smiled and then I was met with darkness.

3 hours later...

I woke up about 5 minutes ago and I was in the hospital. I sat up and stared at the wall across the room and soon everybody came in the room including my granny, I ain't say nun and they didn't say nothing.

"Zion." My granny broke the silence. I looked over at her, but I didn't say anything.

"Did you take your medication." I turned back to looking at the wall. I shook my head and chuckled. They were looking confused cause I haven't told them; well, I haven't told anybody.

"Why you stopped." I shrugged and she sighed. The doctor finally came but it was Brianna. I put my head down and tears came down, I knew my eyes were black.

"We need a new doctor." My dad said I guess he realized what was happening. Shed rolled her eyes and walked out.

After a while another doctor came in the room, but I knew this doctor. He knew what was wrong with me.

"Hi Zion if you remember me, I was your doctor since you were born but let's see what we have going on." He read a couple of things on his clip board.

"Well, we had to suck alcohol out of your system. You had no nutrients in your body so I'm going to need you to eat a lot." I just looked at him with no emotion.

"So why you stop taking your medicine you know what happens when you don't take them." He sighed.

"What happens if she stops taking them." My dad asked this time my granny spoke.

"Her brain stops functioning like a normal human. She has to take them or she's going to not be herself and become a little demon, she is not your sweet Zion she's demon Zion. She no longer feels the love that she had, once she feels no love then this happens, she becomes bipolar and unstable emotionally. Her eyes turn back, and she is quiet, she's not going to speak until she feels that love or takes her medication. If she is trying to kill anybody and somebody stands in her way, then she wouldn't hesitate to kill them except the ones she loves." She told them.

"When and why did this happen."

"When you left. She became depressed that love she always
felt is not there anymore, she changed over time. When Michael came it made it worse her and Zaharra would come to my house and she would lock herself inside her room for days and weeks but I eventually got into the room and she would be sitting in the middle of the room just staring at the wall across the room I took her to the doctor and they gave us him and he explained it to me and gave her medicine to take, but when Zaharra left she turned evil and stopped taking it and would do any and everything to people. She was filled up with so much hate, but she was still scared of Michael. Then Zahari was born, and she calmed down a lot more and started taking her medicine. Zahari replaced a lot of that love that she was missing. Zion practically raised her. Then she met Sabrina came and she was just so joyful and full of life. She still cares it's just she's scared and is feeling that hate from before. You created her being unstable emotionally, but Michael created that demon. She's
like a little lost puppy." When she was done everybody turned to me.

"There's only two people that can refill that empty space but since Sabrina isn't going to cooperate, she is going to stay with me, and I need Zahari and Aiden to come over every day." They nodded and my dad left.

"Josh." My granny said to the doctor. He looked up.

"Dontg let Brianna come in here or Zion will blow up even more." He nodded and left.

"So, what do we do now." Trey asked.

"We wait she goes through stages." They nodded.

"What type of stages."

"She goes through stages before she officially blows up. First is her depression, then there's her being super quiet and her looking at the wall, third is she's going to become scared of everything like how she was scared of Michael and she's going to have nightmares and then she's going to become that little devil that Michael built, and no one can stop it except for Sabrina. Sabrina has one job just make a clarification that her and Zion is really threw cause she's not going to listen to us."

Soon Zahari and Aiden came running in the room. They sat on the bed, and I smiled. "Are you ok." I nodded.

I taught Aiden how to do sign language to. 'When are you coming back home'

'I'm going to stay with granny for a little while' They nodded, and we talked some more.

"This is going to be a long journey."
