"Sammy what the fuck are you doing here?" Zion says without even thinking. Wow he really has no censor when he's drunk.

I see Sammy's cheeks turn pink instantly.

"Oh I was feeling lightheaded and I wanted to lay down so I thought I could come lay in your bed," she says glancing at me quickly, "it's not like I haven't been here before."

Now I see Zion glance at me quickly and lick his lips before saying, "Well can you get out because I want to lay down."

"With her?" Sammy protests with a disgusted face.

"Actually," I interject making both of them look at me, "I think imma head out because my sister gets off her soccer practice soon."

Zion instantly starts pouting and I see Sammy give me a fake ass smile so I give her one back.

"You can go lay with her." I tell Zion even though it makes me feel some type of way. Zion glances at her, making her smile at him but he just looks back at me and pouts again.

But it's obvious she likes him, I'm just doing the right thing. I'm new here and I don't know how long she's liked him for.

"Nooo, don't gooo." Zion petitions, "I want to listen to music with you."

"You can listen to music with her?" I say wondering why that would be a problem.

"But I want to listen to your music." He says and I see Sammy frown out of the corner of my eye.

"But Zion," I laugh, "I have to go." He's literally a little kid.

He turns to Sammy and she instantly perks up.

"Why haven't you left yet?" He says blankly.

I slap his arm and use everything in my power not to laugh.

"Don't be rude." I say still holding in a laugh.

"I'm just going to go lay down in Edwins room..." she awkwardly says and walks out.

Zion practically jumps on his bed and rolls over and pats the part next to him. I walk over and stand next to the bed.

"Why are you standing there?" He laughs at how awkward I look, making me blush.

"Zion I still have to go." I say sitting on the bed but with my back against the headboard with Zions head laid on the pillow.

He shuffled and laid his head onto my lap and I subconsciously started retwisting his dreads. We just sat in comfortable silence and I was sure he was falling asleep.

Who wouldn't fall asleep if someone was playing with their hair?

About 15 minutes later, I look at my phone. 4:55. Fuck I had only 5 minutes til Letty's soccer practice ends! And she expects me there today!!

I quickly, but carefully, slipped away from Zion and turned off his lights and shut the door. After almost tripping down the stairs, I finally get to the bottom and I speed-walk to the living room and give everyone a quick 'adios' and grab my weed and leave.

I hop in my car and sped off wondering if Zion was even asleep.

"Aye Jax," I say through my window to this boy that goes to middle school with my sister, "tell your hermano I said wassup."

He gives me a head nod, "I got you."

"Stay safe G." I say and he nods and walks off.

Me and his brother were really close but then he got a girlfriend, but we still good friends. He lives in the Barrio too.

"Hey Gelly." Letty says throwing her gear in the backseat and hopping into the front.

"How was soccer?" I ask taking off from the parking lot.

"Alright but Caroline thought it would be a good idea to dump out my whole water bottle so I didn't have any thing to drink for the whole practice," Letty said shrugging.

"What the fuck?!" I yell , "let's go teach this bitch a lesson, I'm not 18 yet! Where is she?!"

"Hospital." Letty shrugs again.

"Why?" I raised my eyebrow.

"When we were doing a scrimmage I knocked her over and she swears that I twisted her ankle." Letty said but shakes her head, "stupid bitch."

"That's right Letty." I say nodding my head slowly.

The way we grew up, don't let anything happen to you without doing something about it. Some call it karma, some call it revenge. I would mention that we don't promote violence...

But that would be a lie.
