*Later That Night*
Ivory: *run into the police station* *run up to Ciara* are you okay? What's going on? All I heard was gunshots when you called.
Aunt: *walks up* she was at the crime scene
Ivory: *raise my eyebrows* *look at my aunt* *look at Ciara* what crime scene?
Aunt: We've been following a drug case for some time now, shots went off, we pulled up on the scene and they caught her and another young boy trying to flee.
Ivory: Are you crazy? It was Trey, huh? We're gonna talk about this when we get home.
Ciara: *cries* this is not the most important thing we need to talk about right now.
Dad: What is more important than this Ciara? You could've been killed.
Aunt: They couldn't question her without a parent or guardian present. Ivan you weren't answering your phone.
Dad: So let's go in there and get this over with.
Aunt: It's already been done.
Dad: *puts his hands in his pockets* what are you talking about?
Ciara's Mom: *walks up*
Dad: Alyssa?
Alyssa: *shrugs* hey
Ivory: *chuckles* you've got to be kidding me.
Alyssa: Hi, Ivory.
Ivory: What the hell are you doing here?
Alyssa: They called me, I was worried.
Ivory: You know how many years it been, it's a little too late to worry now.
Aunt: She's been living in Spain up until a week ago.
Ivory: Auntie not now
Alyssa: I know I messed up, I was young, I made a mistake.
Ivory: Walking out on your kids is not a mistake, it's a choice.
Ciara: Ivory stop, she's my mom. Not yours.
Ivory: I've been every role since she's been gone and she gets to walk in here like nothing ever happened? Fuck no.
Alyssa: I appreciate how you've looked out for your brother and sister and I will never try to downplay your role in their lives, but I am here and I'm trying.
Ivory: *look at my dad* Dad, say something.
Dad: *looks down*
Ivory: *look at Alyssa* stop trying and be better.
Alyssa: *shrugs* practice makes perfect.
Ivory: *shake my head* don't fuck this up *leave*
*A Few Days Later*
