Samira hated panic attacks. She hated how her throat seemed to close in on itself and how everything around her seemingly shrunk. She lets out hard sobs as her body shook from the pain the world had put on her. She glanced at the clock on her phone which read 2:45 am. She shouldn't have came here.

He wasn't going to want her

She had traveled all this way. She couldn't leave now. She shook her head so sick of her thoughts invading her every step. She found herself on a random couch bench in the middle of town. She grabbed a blunt from her bag and her lighter carefully lighting it up savoring the icky taste that it left. She breathed the smoke out and threw her head back in exhaust. She feels a presence approach her and she darts her head up. The breath knocks out her lungs as she stares at the all to familiar man who frowned down at her curiously.

"Aren't you a little too young to smoke?" Zion asks, peering down at the girl as she takes another drag to relieve the stress. "Isn't too late for you to be on a jog" she retorts and he chuckles sitting down next to her on the bench. "Where are your parents' kid?" he says putting his hands into his hoodie pocket. "Oh my dad's here. Well I hope he is" she says passing him the blunt which he shrugs taking. "What do you mean by 'hope'?" Zion questions taking in the smoke. "My ma said he's my dad but even if he was I don't think he wants to be in my life. Which kinda sucks cus ion got nowhere to go cus my- Wait sorry i can ramble a lot" she says interrupting herself and Zion shakes his head.

"You're okay, Do you know where your 'maybe' dad might be?" he says looking at her and she sighs.

"Right next to me?" she says looking at him scared beyond relief and his mouth drops.

"Huh?"

"So you're meaning to tell me that Eve had a kid , didn't tell me and kept it from me for 15 years?" Zion says passing her the mug of coffee which she smiles at. "I'm just telling you what she told me dude. Damn you make really good coffee" she says, savoring the taste of the drink. Zion sighs exasperated. "I can leave if you want?" she says feeling as if her presence wasn't wanted. "No! Don't i'm just trying to process everything...Does your mom know you're here?" he asks and she shakes her head. "Nah she's dead" she says very bluntly and Zion's eyes widen.

"What?!How?" he says looking at her in concern. "Accidental drug overdose" she says just above her breath reliving the painful memory. "That's why I'm here. To escape foster care" she sighs looking around at the scenery in his apartment. "I'm sorry for barging into your space like this. I should've been more mindful" She says turning to look at him and he frowns.

She apologized a lot.

"There's no need to be sorry. Let's start over maybe. I'm Zion" he says holding his hand out and setting down his coffee. She looks at the gesture questioningly but slowly takes his hand.

"Samira"

Samira heard voices outside of the room Zion had given her and she furrowed her brows. She went to the door placing her ear against it as she heard Zion talk with someone.

"I don't know what to do Peach. I want to be in her life but you know how my work is"

"Zion that girl needs someone . Someone stable"

"I know that Georgia. I'm just so lost right now"

"...I mean. She could live with me?"

Samira's eyes widen in confusion.
