Fatima: What about them?

Jordan: They were involved in a car accident. And they're both are in the hospital.

Andi: What the hell happened?

Jordan: We don't know baby, all we know is that they were involved in a car accident.

Fatima: So y'all both knew and didn't say anything?

Zac: Baby I'm sorry. We were only doing it to protect you.

Fatima: Protect me. How is that protecting me when my sister is in the hospital fighting for her life. And not only that our niece and Faith is also in the hospital fighting for their lives.

They didn't say anything

Fatima: Ummm hello!! Somebody talk.

Zac: Mama told us not to say anything until we knew her conditions. We only recently found out about Faith.

Fatima: So that's who you were on the phone with back at the law firm?

Zac: Yes

Fatima: Hmm, okay.

Fatima just walk away upstairs. And Zac followed behind her.

Fatima: Zac what do you want?

Zac: Baby talk to me.

Fatima: Zac I don't want to talk. So please just go back downstairs and let me be alone.

Zac: Baby please talk to me.

Fatima: Ohhh, now you wanna talk.

Zac: Baby please just hear me out.

Fatima: Zac you wanna know what hurts the most?

Zac: What?

Fatima: Is that my husband, who's supposed to be my peace kept this from me.

Zac: Baby I didn't want to. But mama asked me not to.

Fatima: So y'all couldn't trust me enough to tell me what was going on? Y'all had to play in my face like I wasn't going to figure out that something wasn't right.

Zac was silent

Fatima: When you came to my job, do you remember what I told you?

Zac: We talked about a couple things.

Fatima: But what did I specifically tell you before we left.

Zac: That you was tired and you just wanted to rest.

Fatima: So having Jordan and Andi come over here was a smart idea, after I told you that I was tired. That's #1 how y'all gave y'all selves away. Secondly the drinking, and Thirdly from y'all body language down to the avoidance. Like really Zac.

Zac: Baby I'm sorry ( walks up to her and tires to hold her )

Fatima: Stop, don't touch me. Just get me to the hospital to see about my sister and niece.

Downstairs

Jordan: Baby say something

Andi: This shit hurts. I get the reason y'all hid it from Ti, but from me. Why me?

Jordan: I don't know baby. I guess I wasn't thinking. I should have told you.

Andi: You literally brought me over here for both you and Zac to play in her face. Ti ain't dumb, she's smart. She reads body language, and y'all really thought she wasn't going to find out?

Jordan: You know how she is when it comes to Aisha. You seen it for yourself.

Andi: I always know that she's strong and not saying anything is just like lying to her. Now her and Zac going at it about something that could have been all avoided with honesty.

Jordan: You're right and baby I'm sorry.

Andi: I'm not the one you need to be apologizing to.

Zac and Fatima came downstairs.

Jordan: Sis

Fatima: Jordan please don't talk to me.

Fatima got Zion and walked out the door and got in the car.

Zac: Y'all gonna meet us at the hospital?

Jordan: Yea bro we can do that.

Zac got Ava and went and got in the car.

Over at the hospital

Anita: Hello

Jordan: Ma she knows, and she's pissed.

Anita: Where she's at now?

Jordan: In the car with Zac. We're headed to the hospital now, but it's not good mama.

Anita: Okay son, I'll see y'all then.

Over in the car with Zac and Fatima

Zac: Baby

Fatima: Zac please baby, I just wanna sit in silence. I don't wanna talk, I don't even wanna think. I just wanna get to the hospital. Please, that's all I ask

Zac: Okay, I love you.

Fatima: I love you too.

15 mins later, they make it to the hospital. And they got out the car and went inside the hospital.

Receptionist: Yes can I help you?

Fatima: Yes, we're the family of Aisha and Faith. We came to see about them.

Anita: Hey right this way.

Fatima: Never mind.

They walked to the private waiting room. The room was silent for a min.

Jordan: So have they said anything else?

Anita: No, we're waiting on the Darius to give us an update now.

Fatima: ( laughing ) y'all funny!!

Anita: What?

Fatima: Nothing. ( gets up and walked out the door )

Zac tired to get up to follow her but he dad told him to give her a min. Fatima went to the chapel and just sat and broke down.
