-Friday evening, one week after Thanksgiving-
Aleigha is settled in back from her trip home and watching a murder mystery show.
-Ring alarm system notification-
Aleigha sighs racing to the door as it is unlocking. "No!" Aleigha yells, pushing the door closed. "Lelo..." Gregory called out.
"I didn't come here to fight. Let's just sit down and talk about this! Let me in, damn it!" Greg demands on the other side of the door.
Aleigha opens the door and steps out before Gregory can come inside, "Gregory, I told you to leave me alone, you call and text me incessantly. I tell you stop calling me, you call my assistant and my friends. Next, you're coming to my house? Have you lost the rest of your brain cells? While we're at it? Give me my key back. If you ever come here again without my permission, so help me God I'm calling the police."
"Aleigha stop, there too many people around! Let's talk inside where people can't see and hear us... We're better than this."
"No Gregory! You're not coming in my fucking house and before you try it, all of your shit is waiting for you at your office."
"Did you seriously leave my personals at my JOB Le? Do you know how that makes me look?! This is what got us here in the first place you know you can be so damn selfish right?!" The heated exchange continues.
"How I make you look?! Greg...I've been with you since we met in college, I never even looked at another man, nothing! I bragged and boasted to everyone I knew about the man I thought you were, I'm the one that taught you an elevator pitch so damn good it got your own company! Then I come to take a nap at your place, where I'm supposed to be safe and you're having shower sex with your colleague...You should be very worried about how you look because you look fucking stupid!"
"I never intended for any of this shit to happen Le!".
"Do you know how closed off to affection you've been since Pop Pop died?! I've been talking to a brick wall! You weren't present!" Greg yells back.
Aleigha scoffs, "My father is not an excuse for you to have sex with women outside of the woman you asked to marry you! Are you serious right now? It's so funny because I knew you would say that."
"Maybe because I've been begging you for time and attention since he died Aleigha! You started treated me like I wasn't trying, damn it!"
"Greg, you lost your father before me, if anyone should get what this has been like for me it should be you! Pop Pop was my heart, he taught me everything I know and to not be able to see him and kiss him goodbye, that hurts!" Aleigha cried. "How could I help you weather your storm when I was soaking wet too?! I needed saving too! You took the first out you had!".
Kasey, Aleigha's neighbor turned best friend runs over with her mase in her hand. "What is goin' on over here?! Gregory, if you don't leave, I'm callin' the police. You should not be here!" Kasey fumed.
"I'm talking to fiancé! I have every right to be at the townhome I help fucking buy! Don't forget is was me who put you on!" Gregory screams at Aleigha with his finger in her face.
Kasey and Aleigha, almost reading each other's minds begin clapping their hands sarcastically. "You know what Aleigha, fuck you! Matter of fact, where's the little rat I bought you? I bet I'll take it back."
"Yeah right! So you can give him to your little office whore? Go to Hell Greg!" Aleigha and Greg began another intense screaming match which seemed to ignite Greg into flames. Kasey pulls her phone out and dials 911.
"That's enough I'm just going to call the police!"
"Please do! Get his cheating ass out of here!! Just go away, leave me alone! I can't wait to have a new man between my legs doing all of the things you used to do! Sleeping on your side of the bed, fucking me in every single room in this house!" Aleigha screamed.
"Just watch I'm about to make the next man so happy, it'll be like you never existed. Poof! Vanished! I'll make sure to you a picture of my pregnant belly after I let him leave it in too! I guess you won't be getting those kids before 30 after all Greg!"
"Shut up!" Gregory lunged at her, reaching for Aleigha's throat. Aleigha began squealing in an attempt to scream, trying to push him off. He was enraged. The mere mention of her letting another man impregnate her infuriated him.
Kasey unlatches her keychain spray calls Gregory's name and sprays him in the face with the fiery auburn substance.
"Aaahh" Gregory screamed in pain. Aleigha was down on the welcome mat holding her neck in place, feeling like if she moved too fast she would pass out. She was in pain and the Earth was spinning.
"Get inside!" Kasey grabs Aleigha frozen on the ground in shock and wedges them inside where Papa stands near the foyer meowing in panic.
"Yes, we're inside now!" Kasey talks to the 911 operator. "Oh God I think we need an ambulance, she's bleeding!"
"Aleigha! Aleigha please!"
Oh God. Am I- Am I dead? Pop pop...What are you doing here?
