A few days later:
Misty: I'm glad you're okay bestie. Even happier Darius and Oliver were there at that moment
Charmaine: nods) I was so scared.
Misty: where were you ?
Charmaine: I'm a stripper and the owner was having a private party at his mansion and wanted me and some girls to dance. I went up to the room and then like 6 guys came in after me and they all raped me.(tears fall)
Misty: Omg, why didn't you call me? I could've gotten you a job with me. Stripping ain't it.
Charmaine: I needed the fast money. I been wanting to get my own place for months. My mama put me out that day
Misty: you doing drugs ?
Charmaine: just a few that's it
Misty: what kind ? We gone get you some help?
Charmaine: coke
Misty: coke!? Are you serious Char? You got a baby you need to be taking care of. Did you sign yourself into rehab ?
Charmaine: yes I did Misty, the doctor asked me about it yesterday. I already talked to Kj about keeping Chloe til I get out
Misty: sighs) ok
(Oliver knocks on the door and walks in with flowers and balloons)
Oliver: hey, I got you a little something
Charmaine: (smiles) awww thank you, I appreciate that
Oliver: are you okay?
Charmaine: sighs) I'm trying to be.
Oliver: the church is always open if you need help
Charmaine:shakes her head) church ain't a place for a girl like me. I ain't coming back
Misty: what?
Oliver: don't say that, you're always welcome
Charmaine: "God" wouldn't let me go through this bullshit !
Misty: okay Char calm down please
Charmaine: can y'all leave? I wanna be alone
Oliver: feel better Charmaine
Misty: I'll call you later bestie
(They leave.)
Charmaine pov: tomorrow I'll be checking into rehab to help with my addiction. Hopefully it works for me and I can get off these drugs. This is not the way I wanted my life to be. I was laying there when suddenly my phone rung and it was my dad FaceTiming me.
Charmaine: hi dad
Jacob: Charmaine why didn't you tell me what your step father did to you? Misty called and told me everything about that and that you were gang raped. How did that happen huh?
Charmaine: I was working at a strip club and-(gco)
Jacob: so you out here shaking your ass to get some fucking money? Putting your life in danger for paper
Charmaine: I got a child to provide for dad. I gotta do what's best for me! I don't have help
Jacob: you don't have help because you don't ask nobody Charmaine! Instead of asking your bestfriend to help you, you turn to stripping and drugs! That's not how I raised you and you know that, do you understand me?
Charmaine:( wiping her tears) yes sir
Jacob: you need to get your shit together and I mean it . Is this the example you want to set for Chloe? Her daddy already selling drugs and in and out of jail.
Charmaine: no sir
Jacob: gone and wipe your face cause I don't give a fuck about none of that crying. Closed mouths don't get fed. You need to speak up Charmaine...
