Chapter 1

FATIMA: "So you lied to me?" She says staring at the phone

ZAC: "No Fati-"

Shoving the phone into his chest she replies.

FATIMA: No Zac, I asked you for one thing, and that was honesty, and you couldn't even give me that!

(With fury in her eyes) Fatima walks away from Zac in a hurried manner realizing that Zac is actually the father of this 3 year old baby. At one point she wipes a tear from her eye. Once she makes it inside she goes to the bedroom closet hurriedly packing an overnight bag.

FATIMA: so fucking stupid!

Meanwhile Zac is standing in the backyard leaning against the hot tub staring at his phone in shock. His phone starts ringing and the name Bryce pops up. Not wanting to answer, he declines the call.

ZAC: "This is some bullshit!" he says before chucking his phone to the side of him.

He paces the backyard for a moment rubbing his head in frustration before deciding to pick up his phone. He looks at it and sees that it is cracked.

ZAC: "Fuck!" he says before putting it in his pocket and rushing into the house.

CUT TO:
Fatima is sitting at the edge of the bed putting on some tennis shoes and Zac is jogging up the stairs. Seeing her he makes a frustrated sound.

ZAC: "Oh my god." He says under his breath, picking up his pace in an attempt to make it to her side. "Fatima."

Fatima gets up, grabbing her bag forcefully before attempting to walk past Zac. They are both walking towards each other Zac trying to get to her and Fatima trying to get away from him. Once in proximity Zac reaches out and grabs her arms pulling her back a bit.

ZAC: "Fatima, really?" He turns is body towards her looking at her

FATIMA: "What Zac?" Making eye contact with Zac she stares at him with hard eyes.

ZAC: "Where you going?" He gestures his hand out toward the staircase, before dropping his hand at his side.

FATIMA: "To Angela's." She says shrugging her shoulders, breaking eye contact for a moment.

ZAC: "For what?" He says exasperatedly, turning his head to the side.

FATIMA: "You know why, so stop acting like you don't." Fatima says, turning her body into him, dropping her bag on the ground.

ZAC: "We need to talk about this Fatima." Zac says attempting to pull her in. FATIMA: "What is there to talk about? You lied." she says, pushing him away.

ZAC: "No I didn't Fatima, I swear that baby isn't mine."

FATIMA: "So the DNA test lied?"

ZAC: "I don't...I'm telling you that baby isn't mine."

FATIMA: "Whatever Zac, I can't talk about this right now?"

ZAC: "So you're just gonna leave?"

FATIMA: "If you would let me go." She says looking down at her arm.

ZAC: "Are you serious right now?"

FATIMA: "Dead serious."

ZAC: "Whatever Fatima." He lets her arm go and walks over to the bed and sits on the edge.

Fatima picks her bag back up and heads to the stairs jogging down them. She reaches the front door and opens it. When she opens it she is met with Angela and Bryce standing at the door about to knock.

ANGELA: "Hey girl, how'd you know....I was here? Angela says analyzing Fatima. She notices that she has a bag in her hand. "...Are you ok?"

BRYCE: "Hey Fatima." he says nervously "Where's Zac?"

FATIMA: "What are you doing here?"
