Indigo sat at the dinner table with the rest of her extended family. On the side of her was her aunt and Kenji. There was an obvious tension surrounding the table, after all the last thanksgiving most definitely did not go well.
Indigo's grandma smirked at her before asking, "How's school". Indigo slit her eyes at her before rolling her eyes and ignoring her. "See this is why I didn't want you staying at her house. Look at you getting all rude". Her grandmother said this as she pointed her finger in Indigo's direction.
Everyone on the table looked between the two, they already knew shit was going to pop off. Before Ameena can even say anything Indigo popped up saying, "If I recall correctly you refused to take me in your custody". The others at that table just sat there in shock. That was the first they have heard Indigo speak in a while.
One of her cousins turned up her nose saying, "You think you something hot cause you hanging out with Sev and em". The rest of her cousins started laughing at her joke. Indigo's cousins followed their parents' lead and had some hidden onomisity against Indigo.
Indigo smirked at her before saying, "Nah, but your pussy is. If I recall correctly you are burning". The girl sat there in shock before flying across the table in an attempt to hit her. Before Indigo was even touched Ameena pushed the girl back, "Put your hands on my niece and see if ion put you six feet under".
Indigo's grandmother shook her head before saying, "Just ghetto. Keep acting like that and see if you don't end up with your brother. Dead". Indigo held a strong grip on her plate ready to throw it across the room. Kenji held Ameena back trying to prevent her from beating the old lady up.

Her grandmother continued to taunt and laugh at Indigo. Before she even knew what she did, Indigo launched her plate across the room. It was a perfect hit, seeing that it hit the old lady right in the middle of her face.
"Don't speak on my daddy", she yelled as she punched her grandmother in the face several times. It took over three people to pull Indigo off of her grandmother. "I hate you so much", she yelled with tears on her face.
With that she grabbed her phone and ran out the room, she just kept running and before she knew it she was in a park. She felt her phone ringing as she saw that it was her aunt. Pretending to not see the call she turned her phone on do not disturb.
She then sat on a bench as she tried to calm her breathing. "Come on Indigo, in and out", she coached herself. Indigo felt someone's presence and turned just to see Sev taking a seat next to her.
Lifting her eyebrow she questioned, "Are you stalking me?". Sev let out a lil laugh before pointing to the basketball court, "I was playing and saw you over her". Indigo nodded her head before twirling her hair around her finger.
"Why does it look like you were crying", Sev asked as he gripped her face. Tensing up she slapped his hand away saying, "Why do you care". Sev then shrugged his shoulders before saying, "I don't".
Indigo then got up and proceeded to walk away. Sev jogged next to her with a small smirk on her face saying, "I was joking". Indigo on the other hand pretended that he was not there as she continued to walk. Sev then continued to talk for the next ten minutes as Indigo continued to pretend that he was not there.

Sev then said something that caught her attention, "You want food". Immediately perking her head up she responded saying, "Yes". She was really hungry after all, her plate of food was still on the floor and she most definitely was not about to turn down free food.
Indigo sat in the car taking Sev's gun apart and putting it back together. When she saw Sev coming she quickly put in back in its compartment and stared out the window. Sev of course saw her, "I told you to not touch my shit". Pretending not to know what he said, "Indigo turned and said, "Mhm".
Sev took the gun back out the compartment and wiped it down with a bandana to get her fingerprints off it. He then passed her the plate of food from WingStop. Opening his box he was about to eat before Indigo said,"Wait".
Pulling her phone out she took a picture of both of their plates. Sev looked at her, "You stopped me to take a picture". Posting the picture on Snapchat she nodded her head responding, "Yes I did".
There was a comfortable silence before Sev decided to ask her a question, " So why were you crying". Indigo looked at him for a second before saying, "I don't know". There was another silence before Indigo asked, "Is your name actually Sev., cause that's a weird name".
Sev stared at her for a second before saying, "Your name is Indigo". Turning towards him, she started mugging, "What's the issue with my name". Sev stared at her with a perplexed look, "Indigo your name is a color". Indigo rolled her eyes and turned towards the window.
"Aight I was playing my name is Seven". That was the first time Sev has told any female his name. It's not something that he walks around saying. But Indigo was different. "That's cute, I'm calling you that form now on".
Getting comfortable Indigo put her legs up on Sev, "So Seven what's your middle name". Sev raised his eyebrows, "You work for the feds". Taking one of Sev's fries she said, "No I just want to know".
Sev smacking his hand saying, "Don't touch my shit and its Zyair". Indigo gasped saying, "Mine is Za'Niyah". Sev changed the subject asking, "So why were you crying?". Indigo shrugged, turning her head towards the window.
She sighed before saying, "I don't even know". Sev can clearly see that she was close to tears. He pulled her closer wrapping an arm around her, "It's okay you can tell me".
With that waterworks flowed as she said, "It's my family. I don't even know why they don't like me. The only person that honestly cares is my aunt and Kenji. And my grandmother is always saying slick shit. I just honestly want to be loved by them, and I don't know why they don't want to love me". Sev pulled Indigo into his chest and allowed her to just cry. Wrapping his arms around her and rocked her back and front.
"They not your family. Blood don't make you family the way they love you does". Indigo nodded her head in understanding. For the next few minutes Indigo stayed in his arms and before he knew it small snores were heard from her.
Sev let out a small laugh seeing that she was sleeping and took out his phone just letting her to continue sleeping on his chest.
