Caleb- "Your friend said the shit."
Chelsea- "Have you also notice i haven't been talking to her lately?"
Caleb- "Yeah, why is that?"
Chelsea- "Well I just figured out she's jealous because she wanted to talk to you first. But i didn't know she just said you were cute."
Caleb- "Y'all not cool anymore."
Chelsea- "No. she told me Jaden was the one who told her that lie. Then she had all her friends defending her. We almost got into a fight."
Caleb- "Why did you go and ask her anything? You need to stop drawing so much attention to yourself. It doesn't look good."
Chelsea- "You need to stop believing everything that is said. You know me."
Caleb- "Your baby daddy knows you better though."
Chelsea- "Then why did he lie on me? He's upset because he wants to get back with me but I turned him done."
Caleb- "Did you really?"
Chelsea- "Yes I did. Im so sick of him bothering me. He should be happy that I didn't tell anybody how he beat me."
Caleb- "What?! He put his hands on you?! I knew you was lying about him putting his fucking hands on you."
Chelsea- "I know I'm sorry. Please don't tell anybody. I only spared him because of our daughter."

Chelsea- "Please I'm begging you for my daughter's sake to let it go. I let it go myself and you should too"
Caleb- "Are you serious? I wouldn't feel like a man if I let that slide. You're my girl and it's my job to protect you.
Chelsea- "I love you and I know you're a man. Jaden conscious is going to eat him up more than anything. He always talked about how his dad abused his mother. He knows he messed up bad. Please don't say anything to him."

She starts kissing him on the neck and assists him with taking off his shirt.Narrator- Jaden goes to Peyton house and decides to self reflect. He's been feeling stressed lately so he has been taking opioids. Jaden normally smokes and drinks but now he's popping Percocet's and Xanax's. He turns on some music and swallows two percs that are 10 mgs. He starts singing along to the music while bopping his head. Peyton isn't home at the time so he has the house to himself. About 30 minutes later, Jaden begins to feel better. All the stress and pain that he feels is temporarily gone. He hears a knock on the door. He gets up to answer the door and it's Princess.
Princess- "My dad here?"
Jaden- "No, I think he's over his girlfriend's house again.
Princess- "He might as well live there."
Jaden- "I know right."
Princess- "You having a party in here?"
Jaden- "No... I'm just vibing. You coming in?"
Princess- "Yeah."Narrator- Princess has her bags with her. Sometimes she spends nights at her dad's house. Peyton is normally gone whenever she does. Jaden is lowkey happy to see her because he has been wanting to ask her about Chelsea. He's hoping that Princess will gossip with him about Chelsea and Caleb.
Jaden- "You heard about what happened today?"
Princess- "No, what happened?"
Jaden- "Your best friend is mad at me because Janera told people that Chelsea and me still mess around."
Princess- "OMG that's wild. Is it true? By the way I don't have a best friend anymore."
Jaden- "No it's not true. Y'all not cool no more?"
Princess- "I don't have a problem with Chelsea. I guess she doesn't have time for me anymore."
Jaden- "Yeah she's in a serious relationship."
Narrator- Princess starts laughing hysterically while slapping her knees. Jaden looks at her confused while hoping she'll say more.
Princess- "You're really funny Jay! Oh my that was a knee slapper."
Jaden- "I'm for real. She came to the studio today to cuss me out because of those rumors going around."
Princess- "She hasn't known Caleb that long. It's only a matter of time before he gives in from temptation. Now that he's taken these thots at school try to talk to him more and more. Chelsea is so in love with him and he's going to graduate and probably never see her again. I can't believe that she would rather hang out with him everyday and abandon our friendship.
Jaden- "Those are facts. I can't even believe she broke up with me for him.
Princess- "No offense but I can believe that part."
Jaden- "Why you say that?"
Princess- "She was never over you cheating on her and plus Caleb is a senior."
Jaden- "I figured that she wasn't over it. What does him being a senior have anything to do with her leaving him for me?"
Princess- "Well he's older than you. It's just something that us girls like. I'm just a little surprised that Caleb would actually date her. I'm not saying anything is wrong with Chelsea but she's a sophomore."
Jaden- "So you think he treats her better than me or something?"
Princess- "He must do treat her better. At least with you she would call me and talk about you. She don't call me at all anymore. I guess she found her soul mate."
Jaden- "I guess I'll leave her alone for good then."
Princess- "You can't because you two have a kid together."
Jaden- "I know but Chelsea is happy now. I still do what I need to for my daughter but that's it."
Princess- "I don't know Jaden... It's weird for you and her to not be together. Maybe you should fight for your relationship.
Jaden- "I'm glad you understand! I told Brandon that and he was acting like I was saying something wrong."
Princess- "Brandon told you to leave her alone?"
Jaden- "Yes he was like I can find someone else."
Princess- "He doesn't like to fight for anything. He's been giving me weird vibes lately."
Jaden- "Why you saying that?"
Princess- "I don't know he's just been distant lately. Don't be that type to not fight for what you want."
Jaden- "Brandon is probably just annoyed with his over protective mother."
Princess- "Yeah, Shakira that is."
