POV: Bre's
Day: Saturday a week later
Time: 12PM
Place: Driving

Right now, I'm driving with Toya. We just came from the bank because she needed to get her cheque cashed. We're on the way to the mall now and she's telling me about the fight she had with Jac. "So he didn't believe you..or Alana?"

Toya: "Nope."
Bre: "So how's working with him?"
Toya: "We keep it professional."
Bre: "You gon' need to talk to him."
Toya: "I know."

I pulled up in the mall parking lot and we got out. We went shopping for professional clothes for her and some warm clothes. Christmas is approaching.

POV: Jac's
Day: Saturday
Time: 8PM
Place: Apartment

I'm sitting down in Toya's apartment waiting on her. We need to talk. I wonder where she is...I heard the elevator doors open and she walked in with a bunch of shopping bags. Alisa is at Craig's house and Alana is at Stina's. "You cashed in your cheque?"

Toya: "Yeah..Thanks. Bye."
Jac: "Where were you?"
Toya: "At the movies with Bre."
Jac: (patting the spot next to me) "Come here."
Toya: (dropping the bags and crossing her arms)
Jac: "Why are you being so stubborn?"
Toys: "You told me to get out of your face, remember?"
Jac: "That was a week ago."
Toya: "You still said it."
Jac: "Look-"
Toya: "How's Alana?"
Jac: "She's not staying with me. She's at Stina's place."
Toya: "Hmmm.. I see."
Jac: "As I was saying, I'm sorry for yelling at you."
Toya: "Okay. Did you tell Alana you're sorry for always believing Alisa over here."
Jac: "Alisa still didn't lie."
Toys: "You gotta be sh-ttin' me."
Jac: "She didn't!"
Toya: "Whatever you say..That still doesn't explain the fact that you always believe her."
Jac: "You wanna know why?"
Toya: "Say it."
Jac: "Because Alana's just like you."
Toya: "Okay and..?"
Jac: "You don't understand, huh?"
Toya: "Nope..Not really."
Jac: "She has your attitude, sense of style, rebellion and smart mouth. What if she takes after your actions and lies."
Toya: "Que.. Are you serious?"
Jac: "...You lied by telling me you wouldn't go back to crack after I told you not to! You could go back any day! But since Alana's just like you..I don't know what to believe from her either!"
Toya: (shocked and tearing up) "So all this sh-t..Is about trust..Even with your own daughter?"
Jac: "Toya..Please don't cry-"
Toya: "Shut the phuq up! I really try! I know I lied okay! I'm sorry! I ran away from rehab but I went back just so you wouldn't have wasted your money and to get better! I knew if I got better things would get better for everyone else too! But no..It just isn't good enough for you! Now you're letting something between me and you affect how you treat the twins?! No. I'm done."
Jac: "What do you mean you're done?"
Toya: (crying) "What the hell else does "done" mean,
Que? You've got some things to sort out. I told you that I wasn't making that mistake again!"
Jac: (trying to hug me) "I'm sorry-"
Toys: (pushing him off) "No..Just leave."

I looked at her one last time, letting tears roll down my cheek. I pressed the elevator button and stepped in. As the doors closed I looked at her. When they finally closed, I collapsed to the floor, crying. What have I done?
