Jessica and Essence

Scene setting
*Essence's hospital room*

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM

"Who tf is beating on my door?" Essence yelled.

"Jessica!" Replied.

"What do you want?" Essence's room was dark and depressing.

"Why are you still in the dark Essence? This isn't going to make what happened to you go away." Jessica pulled the curtains back. The light was too much for Essence.

"Shut my curtains and get out of my room!" Essence snapped.

"This isn't going to bring the baby back." Jessica stated.

"Dont mention that! Dont talk about my dead baby like that!" Essence cried.

"Essence you're only sixteen. You have your whole life to live and to worry about having a baby." Jessica implied.

"Yet you are hiding a pregnancy from your husband. How are you trying to talk about me about that?" Essence couldn't hold it in anymore.

"you're only sixteen Essence! I'm grown. Wait till mom hears about this." Jessica said angrily.

"Mom? What mom? I been left to half way raise myself since you been gone and busy with yourself. That lady left for Korea! Korea! You talking about Grown! Cut the bullshit. I have enough going on with this miscarriage anyways." Essence cried some more.

"What do you mean she moved to Korea? What the hell is going on?" Jessica asked.

"Dont act like you care about me now! She been gone for a while now. Dont try to act fake concern for me!" Essence yelled.

"I didn't know that. You didn't say anything to me about this and you were at my house every day!" Jessica remarked.

"Maybe you were too busy worried ab out work to even notice me. Or anyone for the matter." Essence replied.

"Or maybe you were too busy fucking my husband." Jessica snapped.

"You weren't doing it. Why should I feel anything about that?" Essence questioned.

"Well, probably because you are my sister." Jessica said.

"I wasn't your sister when you just up and left me! You didn't call or text. Not a email. Shit not even a inbox from you! You were too busy with your college life. While I had to get up and 4 a.m. every day for almost five months just to get to school. While I had to eat at my friends houses to make sure I was fed. Lying telling everyone I was okay. You are no sister of mine!" Essence voice was angry.

"So, that give you a reason to be a hoe out here right?" Jessica just shook her head.

"Nope. Your work is more important than your husband. How is your husband sleeping on the couch? Not having sex with his wife? Feeling like he not good enough. He can't talk to you. All yall do is fight. We were talking and the next thing I know he was stroking me." Essence stated.

"Every relationship has its problems. That is true enough. Some relationships will survive and some wont. Either was it goes that doesn't give either one of us a right to seek outside temporary pleasure. Especially with a family member." Jessica pointed out.

"Girl save me the lecture. Your home is broken because of me. Its broken because you are more devoted to your  occupation than your home. Miss me with it." Essence rolled her eyes.

"Thats your brother-in-law you nasty bitch! What if he was your child's father? What were you going to tell the baby? Huh?" Jessica yelled.

"Nothing, because he aint my child daddy. I have no child bitch. So, stop talking about it." Essence yelled and screamed.

"You and him just foul as fuck." Jessica yelled.

"I HATE YOU!" Essence sobbed and cried.

"Why do you hate me Essence?" Jessica asked.

"Bruh you still haven't gotten it together yet? Just get out of my room. I don't want to see you anymore!" Essence shouted.

"Ess-" Jessica was interrupted.

"Get the fuck out!" Essence shouted.

*Door slams*
