Zuri's P.O.V
Waking up to nothing but dirt and garbage surrounding me, I instantly got disgusted throwing up a bit in my mouth.
I groaned as I slowly got my body off the hard concrete floor, it felt as though I was being stabbed in the back repeatedly with a sharp knife.
Thinking about last night's event I could feel the tears as they began filling my eyes, slowly escaping.
I then dragged myself out onto the sidewalk, I hadn't eaten since yesterday's breakfast and I was starving.
I reached into my pocket pulling out my last twenty dollars - It was the only thing I left the house with an' the only thing I could save without Mama spending it on drugs or giving it to that bastard.
I then made my way to McDonald's.
Walking inside I enjoyed the cool breeze that blew threw my wild frizzy hair, I was in need of a serious bath.
Making my way towards the cashier I took in a deep breath enjoying the unfamiliar scent given the fact that I barely ate out.
"Welcome." She sent a warm smile my way. "What would you be having this morning?"
Looking over the menu I quickly decided on my order.
"Is that it?" She questioned.
"Yeah." I placed the money into her hand as she placed the receipt into mines. "Thank you." She gave me the change.
Watching everyone as they smiled while enjoying breakfast with one another sadness took over my appearance - Sad because I would never experience that.
"Ma'am, here you go." She smiled.
I walked over to an empty seat in the corner of the little place.
I immediately dug into my food, I knew I would be sick later because of me eating so late.
Watching as this beautiful Dominican lady sat in a seat in front of me I was memorised by her outfit, She looked sexy but with class.
A guy then walked up following her.
"Do we really have to eat here?" She asked the guy.
"Yeah, so stop complaining an order something." He demanded.
"You know Avery, you really think because you helped me that I'm now your property."
He lightly chuckled. "Naw shawty I'm just tryna keep you on the right track."
I was all up in their conversation that I had no idea the guy was staring at me.
As I stood to my feet I got all my trash.
"Avery." The woman tried getting the dude's attention. "What the hell are you looking at?" She turned her head now focusing towards me.
"Nothing." He said as he focused his attention back towards her.
She then laughed as though something was funny.
"What the hell are you wearing." She looked over my appearance. "And what the hell is that smell?"
"Leave her alone." The guy told her calmly.
"Naw nigga she smells horrible." She looked my way splashing her cup filled with water into my face. "Avery I know you smell that shit."
I ran towards her only to be held down by the guy slapping him in the face.
"Damn Brittany, stop!" He yelled soft enough for her to hear while holding onto his face.
