Saturday, 3:10 a.m.
"Ahhhh" Zac groaned as he went to the bathroom, for some odd reason, he felt a burning, tingling sensation as he peed. "What the fuck" He mumbled out loud.
After he finished using the bathroom, he washed his hands, looking in the cabinet for some pain relief, after he found some, he grabbed the bottle, going out to the kitchen area, to get a bottle of water. Karen was on the couch sound asleep.
He open the bottle, putting 3 pills in his hands, then throwing them back, as he chugged his water down.
After he went back off to the bedroom, trying to get some sleep but the pain was just unbearable, He got back up, getting dressed then going into the living room to wake Karen up.
"Yo" Zac said tapping her on her forehead with his index finger , she moved a little bit but she didn't wake up. "YOO" He tapped her forehead a little harder, causing her to jump up.
"What Zachary?, don't try and come to apologize now because time went by. It doesn't work like that anymore" She said irritated.
"Karen wasn't nobody coming to apologize to your ass, I was just telling you I'm finna hit the ER, I don't need blowing up my phone asking me where I'm at and shit" He said.
"Why is you going to the emergency room ? Let me guess to meet up with some bitches? Who goes to the hospital at" She stopped herself so she could check the time on her phone. " At 3 a.m. huh Zac?" She said, standing up getting in his face.
"You're delusional Karen, I'm not with this narrative you painting me out to be, thinking I'm just some cheating ass nigga, BECAUSE me and you both know I ain't that, and I'll never be that" He spat, respectfully.
"You know what they say, it be the ones accusing you of cheating but meanwhile they be the main ones doing the cheating, check yourself " He added
"I'm not cheating on you, if that's where you getting at Zachary, if i wanted to cheat on you I'll just break up with you"
"mhm sure Karen, anyways bro is you riding out with me, or is you staying here?" He asked.
"Not sitting in no hospital at no 3 something in the morning Zac, while you be all up in some bitches face."
"You swear when I'm not around you, I'm in some bitches face, if you don't trust me Karen why the fuck do you still want this relationship to workout ? You can't have your cake and eat it to bro, you can't"
"Goodnight Zachary, have fun at the hospital" She said lastly before walking off, Zac did a silent scream then grabbing his wallet and keys and he headed out the door.

" You don't listen, I told you to stop popping up at my house unannounced, that shit not cool. My daughter is here" Said Fatima.
"I've been calling and texting, but you act like you can't return a niggas call, and I thought she was with her father" Eric said, looking at Fatima oddly.
" If she was with her father or not, that still doesn't give you the right to pop up unannounced AGAIN, like what's wrong with you niggas, why do I always have to keep repeating myself when it come to you and my baby father"
"And my phone is broke, so I haven't been able to receive any calls or texts" She added.
"You acting like you don't want to see a nigga, any other time, you be cool with me popping up, now today it's a problem" He scolded.
"Yes when my daughter isn't here, like are you listening to anything I'm saying?"
" I'm sick of shit always having to be on your time, or around your daughter's schedule when her father being an asshole bro. That shit is lame. Like what is we really doing Fatima?"
"This exactly why a relationship with you Eric would never work, if you can't work around me or my child schedule then go find you a bitch who don't got no fucking kids" She snapped.
"I be letting you slide with the slick shit you be doing, but that ends today. Don't ever in your life bring my daughter Into the equation" She continued.
" Ti calm down, I didn't mean like that. I'm just saying how would a relationship ever work out if you're always busy" He asked, trying to grab her waist but she stepped back from him.
"Can you just go, because you're pissing me off, you getting on me because I'm doing my duties as a mother is fucking foul Eric, so I just need some time to myself"
"Yo, Ti.. you dead serious right now? How is you getting mad at me for being upfront and honest yo. What the fuck type of shit is that?"
"And I respect your honesty, and your honesty just proves you can't handle a real bitch with a child, so I'm doing both of us a favor, now can you go please"
"Weird shit Ti, you on that weird shit. The shit you be doing, you ain't gone never find a real nigga like me again"
" No real nigga gone be bitching about me being a mother, so maybe you should take yourself out that "real nigga category" She said nonchalant.
"You got jokes and shit. It's cool." He said grabbing his keys off the table.
"Don't hit my line when shit hit the fan, or when you need somebody to fuck on" He said returning the same energy.
Fatima just ignored him, because if she said something back the more Eric would want to argue and she didn't have time for that. Also Eric knew that was his cue to leave before she got out of character.
Eric was a mutual friend of Cam who is Izzy godfather, and Fatima best-friend, the two of them hit it off and been dating for a couple months , nothing too serious but they knew what was up. What's understood didn't need to be explained.

"Nah doc, you playing with me right? Tell me you just fucking around , like "haha funny" " Said Zachary, with a sarcastic laugh.
The doctor was just looking at Zachary strange, because what she was telling him was not a joke, but for some odd reason Zac wasn't believing anything she was saying. Almost like he wanted it to be a joke.
"Mr. Taylor I assure you, I'm not joking around with you, I wouldn't joke with a patient like that" She said with a serious tone.
"Nah son, nah. This bit- so I'm getting cheating on once again" Zac said to himself, the way he was feeling anybody could get it.
"That would explain why she so bent out of shape about me cheating, because here her ass go cheating again, I'm over all this shit" He vented to himself.
"Are you okay?" Dr. Anderson asked, Zac talking to himself was scaring her a little bit, most time when she gets situation like this it was the other way around, so deep down inside she felt for him.
"Does it like look I'm fucking okay? I just found out my girl gives me a fucking disease, like that shit is dirty as fuck and not cool bro" He stressed
"My dick itching and shit not thinking anything of it, it's because little miss thot pants swinging her coochie all around town " He said baffled, it was taking everything in Doctor Anderson not to laugh at his antics.
"Look my bad" Zac said checking his-self "I'm not mad at you, you just doing your job but this shit just pissed me off son like I will never do no shit like that to her"
"It's alright, and I understand how you feel, I will get your discharge papers ready, and put your prescription in for your antibiotic, should be ready by noon"
"Thank you doc" He said and she nodded, she left out the room closing the door behind her, Zac got dressed, and immediately texted Karen after he was done.
Today 4:30 a.m.
All I'm saying is when I get home, your ass better be up!
You could kiss that trip goodbye
You really just think I'm stupid?
Bro like the way I'm feeling right now just have my shit packed at the door
Karen?
Karen?
-Delivered-
Dr. Anderson made her way back in the room, giving Zac his discharge papers. She tried to explain to him how the antibiotics work, but Zac was to focus on getting back to Karen, that he didn't waste another minute in that room.
"Zac" His sister called out, but Zac was too busy on a mission that he didn't hear her, until she yelled his name a little louder for the second time.
"ZACHARY" she yelled again, and he turned around making his way over to her "why is you looking like that for bro? What's wrong with you? " Jaycee asked.
"On the real Jay, I'm about to go home and snap on that fuck out on that girl" He said.
"What? For what? Come on now bro you know better than to be putting your hands on a female, you don't get down like that"
"Never said I was gone put my hands on her, but no disrespect shorty got me fucked up son"
"Okay you're not explaining anything to me, what did she do to have you acting like this?" she asked.
Zac couldn't bring himself to say it out loud , so he handle Jaycee his discharge papers, as she was reading her mouth dropped.
" Damn she dirty for that bro, so whoever she's fucking is fucking someone else, and the person that someone else is fucking is FUCKING somebody else. The list just kinda goes on bro"
"Been nothing but faithful to that girl, for 3 fucking years and this what I get pay back with, after her you will never catch me in a another relationship again"
"And I mean that" he said truthfully, without a hint of emotion.
