The Reality of Our Lives

I want you back 💔

Narrator- Sunday arrives and Chelsea gets up anxiously ready to go see Caleb. She gets ready and heads out the door to her new car. When she arrives she calls Caleb and tells him to come outside. He comes out in his gym shorts and a white t-shirt on. Caleb looks as if he had just awaken. He's standing at the door looking confused. He didn't recognize the car in the driveway. Chelsea let's down the window so Caleb can see her face. She was cheesing so hard like the day she first laid eyes on him. Caleb walks to the car smiling back at Chelsea.
Caleb- "So you got a new whip?"
Chelsea- "Yesssss my parents surprised me this morning."
Caleb- "Lets go for a ride. I want to see how you drive."
Chelsea- "Way better than you."
Narrator- Caleb gets into the passenger seat and Chelsea pulls off.
Caleb- "I'm guessing you don't need me anymore."
Chelsea- "Don't say that bae."
Caleb- "Good because i would still like to see you in the mornings if you don't mind."
Chelsea- "You already know."
Narrator- Caleb leans over to Chelsea and kisses her on the cheek.
Caleb-"I'm proud of you."
Narrator- Chelsea just smiles at Caleb.
Narrator- a week goes by and Jaden has been coming over every day to spend time with Janiya. Sometimes he even comes over before Chelsea can make it home. Today is Saturday morning and Janiya and Chelsea are still asleep. Jaden knocks on the door. Chelsea answers it and looks  appalled when she answers the door.
Chelsea- "It's Saturday morning."
Jaden- "Yea... and what does that mean?"
Chelsea- "I wasn't expecting you to come. It's seven in the morning."
Jaden- "I'm sorry i just figured since I'm up i might as well visit my baby girl."
Chelsea- "She's still sleep."
Jaden- "Can i talk to you for a second then?"
Narrator- Chelsea is still half way sleep so she looks confused.
Chelsea- "what do you want to talk about?"
Jaden- "Can i at least come inside?"
Narrator- Chelsea moves from in front of the door and sits on the couch. Jaden comes in and closes the door. He sits next to Chelsea on the couch. He looks right into her eyes with a sad look on his faces
Jaden- "I'm sorry."
Chelsea- "Huh?"
Jaden- "I'm sorry for messing up our family. It's my fault for not being there when i needed to be."
Chelsea- "It's ok Jaden. We just need to make sure we give Janiya the best life that we can."
Jaden- "I still plan to do that but wouldn't it be better if we were together?"
Narrator- Chelsea looks at Jaden in disapproval.
Chelsea- "No... Jaden it's too late for that."
Jaden- "How is it too late? We can literally turn everything around now. I'm so ready for things to get better between us. I miss you Chelsea. I miss my family. I miss being with you everyday. I... i love you Chelsea."
Chelsea- Jaden.... no. It's not the same anymore."
Jaden- "Chelsea, i do not care about the fact you were with another man. I understand that i messed up. I forgive you. I just want you back."
Chelsea- "I think we should just co-parent. I'm not ready for this. I'm not saying it's not possible in the future. Right now it's just too soon."
Jaden- "Do you still love me?"
Chelsea- "I'll always love you. But i can't be with you."
Jaden- "Why can't you be with me?"
Narrator- Chelsea looks down to make sure her parents room door is closed. She looks at Jaden and whispers.
Chelsea- "I didn't forget that you beat me. I didn't forget anything that happened. I'm just co-parenting for our daughter."
Jaden- "I'll never do it again if you give me a chance you'll see."
Chelsea- "I don't want to keep having this conversation. Janiya isn't up right now. Im going back to sleep while i still have time."
Jaden- "Let me know if y'all need anything."
Narrator- Jaden goes out the door and Chelsea closes it.
Chelsea's thoughts*- since Jaden bought me the car it's like he feels entitled to something. He hasn't thrown it up in my face but it's like he feels that i owe him something. I do not want to get back with him. I'm happy with Caleb. I just want to continue to co-parent for Janiya.
