Zinnia's Story

Chapter 6

Zinnia P.O.V

I currently just got to work, I just walked in and it was a few people here it's early so we shall see what tonight brings. I headed to the dressing room to get my shit together. Tonight I decided on a sexy pink heart shaped bralette and a pink thong to match , my sexy silver heels. I fixed my curls and put on a simple pink and glittery eyeshadow applied my lipgloss and put my gray contacts in and headed to the floor.

I felt a hand around my hip and smell a familiar cologne filled my nose, a smile crept across my face because that was definitely Gator. I turned and wrapped my arms around his neck. " Hey ma" Gator spoke kissing my forehead.

Gator and I been kicking it for like two weeks just never outside the club, I turn eighteen in two months. Hopefully I can stay in the clear with him til then cause he honestly don't know my real age he think I'm twenty one so it's gone stay like that. I just don't need nobody fucking up my money or ratting the club out cause I need this. I'm moving out soon as I'm legally able.

I just left the private room from doing a dance for a weirdo, I swear that's when I hate the club the most when pervs come in here. I walked into the back room and popped a zan to calm my mind. That man really freaked me out.

I danced around did a few lap dances, I got the call to do a private dance for a weirdo. I hate dancing the most when weirdos come and stroke they dick and watch me dance.

I walked to the back grabbed a water and a Zan Gator gave me I popped it to calm my nerves, ol guy really freaked me out. The drug started to take affect I started to relax and just dance. I started to shake my ass on the pool table it attracted a crowd and the money came in crowd eyes was on me. After that song I had cotton mouth so I headed over to the bar.

"Queen" I sung "yess baby" he said back
"Can I have two shots is tequila" I asked "sure thing" Queen replied and fixed my shots. I downed the shots and headed back to the floor. I headed to the pole started to slowly walk around the pike catching Gators view from VIP. We locked eyes I bent over making my ass clap, grabbed my ankles shaking my ass side to side got on my knees and started twerking to twerking . The song was ending and I dropped into a split.

I didn't even notice all eyes was on me again and money all over the stage, the hoes was giving me stank ass eyes even the boss bottom bitch. "Lame ass hoes" I thought to myself. I looked upstairs at Gator section in VIP and he had this big ass grin on his face. The bouncers helped me collect my money and I headed to the dressing room. The bouncers followed me back I pulled out a hundred and handed it to each of them.

It was about to be two which means my shift is over. I got dressed in my sweats and counted out seven-hundred and ninty dollars and took it to my boss. I left my boss and headed to the exit. Gator grabbed me by my hips " girl the way you bent that ass over and made it clap had me wondering can you do the same on the dick" He said with a grin I chuckled.

" if it was a weekend maybe I would show you but I got class so I can't " I said with a grin He bit his lip and smiled "respect " he replied.

I gave him a kiss on his cheek and headed to my car. I out my seatbelt on and headed home. I'm gone ass hell as in high I like that drug if definitely keep me on my toes. But I'm still very much functional I liked the feeling but I need to be getting home. I pulled out the parking lot and flooded it hitting all backroads avoiding any lights. I pulled in the driveway locked my doors and headed into the house.

I walked in and the kitchen light immediately turned on causing me to scream "Shit" I said noticing it was just Lucial. "Where you been" she asked. I rolled my eyes and walked toward my room like who do she think she is. She steady on my trail asking where I been. " out" I simply replied to her " out where" she questioned more. I just kept walking I owe her no explanation what I do not her business. " I'm talking to you Zinnia you are seventeen coming in like you grown" Lucial preached

I stopped and turned around "I am grown been grown, and it was never by choice it was YOUR choice when you let a NIGGA take my innocence I been raising myself just cause you been clean a year and still ain't give a fuck about me don't make you a mother Lucial" I told her slamming my door in her face.

She had her shit together for a year and only a year. In that year she still ain't give a damn about me or what I was doing she was so busy being stuck up that boy ass I was the least of her worries. She thought just cause she moved us out the hood, got clean , and buy me shit just gone make up for everything. It don't and I don't care about none of this shit. She just can't up and want to be my mom when she feel like it , little do she know it don't work like that.

Like after she got clean I wasn't her priority a nigga was, like I said buying shit don't heal the shit she put me thru, she never talked about it she chased him. So excuse me if it's still fuck her she don't give a fuck about me she just a sperm donor like my pappy as far as im concerned. I just know when I graduate she don't ever got to worry about me again.

Lucial P.O.V

I know I hurt her I know I did thing no mother should but I wasn't in my right mind. I know what I did was so wrong . I don't know how to look her in her face after everything I put her through the things no real mother would ever let happen.

When Kat took her life Zinnia wasn't to far behind because I knew that night when I heard the hurt in zinnia voice she lost the only person who actually met something to her. That night god came to me and gave me a view of where I was headed and that was dead. I had to get better take care of my daughter or be in a grave. I chose Zinnia....

Flashback....

"Ughh" Lucial pushed the the drugs into her system..then all of a sudden BOOM the front door flew open again for the third time tonight. Lucial looked up and laied eyes on a crying Zinnia for the second time tonight.

A part of her wanted to hold her and see why she was crying but the drugs telling her she's messing up her high. So she pushed the thought of her to the back of her head dozed back letting her eyes roll and letting drugs take over.

A few moments later Lucial woke up , she could still hears Zinnia's cries still through the house. Lucial stood up from the old worn down couch and stumbled a bit. She removed her belt that was tied around her arm and headed down the hallway. As she is walking she can see Zinnia sitting on her bed looking at her phone with tears streaming down her face.

"Whats wrong with you" Lucial asked walking in her room. Zinnia looked up with the nastiest look ever. "You don't care dont start now" Zinnia spoke with venom in her voice. Lucial could feel something was terribly wrong and something worse was coming. "You coming in this house crying off these streets not once but twice tonight what the hell wrong with you lil girl" Lucial said with care cause she knew something wasn't right.

What Zinnia said next took everything out of Lucial body. "KAT KILLED HERSELF YOU HAPPY" Zinnia yelled and pushes her out. Lucial stood there stuck tears running body numb. Her life flashed before her eyes Zinnia's funeral was the first thing to flash she watch how her life went after she buried her daughter and how she parished into the world resulting in her own death. "You choose now to do right by her or you lose her forever, and you die a long painful death, you come to me you get help you choose to stay of this world you choose death, save her or don't " A voice spoke to her.

Her body unfroze she started to bang on Zinnia's room door. " I'm sorry baby im sorry babygirl" she yelled through the door. "Open the door please just open the door" Lucial continued to bang but it was nothing no sound no sniffle or anything.

She walked in to the room and Zinnia was just laying there in a puddle of her own blood. Lucial grabbed her close and called the police she pray the whole way to the hospital.
