BPLS: The Finale

Chapter 2: I'm Trying

BRE

I walked into the courthouse and Jacob stood there staring with a huge smirk. I wanted to slap it right off his face. That bastard... I gave my lawyer a few tips to use if it seemed like Jacob was trying to play hard. We walked into the courtroom and rose as the Judge came in. Not even paying attention, my lawyer tapped me.

Lawyer: They called you to the stand.

Bre: Oh, sorry. *walks up to the stand and says oath*

JL(Jacobs Lawyer): Ok Ms. Womack, what would you say started all this?

Bre: Well first I thought it was his denial of his distance from his family. But now that I know what's really going, his cheating started it all.

JL: And do you have any proof of him cheating?

Bre: Our marriage counselor he confessed to, and my two friends Bahja and Zonnique.

JL: What proof do they have?

BL: Objection, your honor the proof of him cheating has been clarified for weeks now this is irrelevant.

Judge: Sustained. Ms. Womack you may exit the stand.

JL: Actually I have some more questioning. Ms. Womack, isn't it true that you have a condition where it is very difficult for you to reproduce?

Bre: Yes.

JL: And how many times would you say you and Jacob have failed to reproduce?

Bre: Um...*getting teary-eyed* about 4 or 5 times.

JL: That's quite a lot don't you think? That's a lot to put somebody through. So that's about 4 or 5 times you lied to him and told him he was having another child, am I right?

Bre: I didn't lie! No pregnancy is definite, not even the child I have now. It hurt me as much as it hurt him, I won't let you sit here and make me feel worse than I already do! *gets up and walks out*

*Bahja and Nique follow her*

Bahja: You ok?

Bre: How dare Jacob sit there and let him talk to me like that! *crying*

Nique: *hugs her* I'm so sorry.

Bre: It's fine...God I hate him.

Jacob: *walks out* Bre I'm sorry, I didn't know he was-

Bre: Do me a favor, forget me.

Jacob: What?

Bre: Forget I ever existed, forget you ever met me. I hate you! You've done nothing but make my life miserable since that day we got together! I hate you! *walks away*

Bahja: Jacob, you need to-

Jacob: Bahja please I feel horrible, please don't do this right now.

Bahja: Go get her.

Jacob: *looks at Bahja and Nique*

Nique: She loves you man. Go get her.

Jacob: *runs after her* Bre! Bre!

Bre: *walking away* Leave me alone Jacob.

*Bahja and Zonnique show up*

Jacob: BREAUNNA!

*Everybody starts staring*

Bre: *stops walking* Why do you insist on making this any worse than it is right now?

Jacob: *walks up to her* Don't talk. I was wrong. Ok? I was wrong and I've been the cruelest person toward you these past couple of months and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, not just because of what I did but because it took me so long to realize it. I know now what you've been trying to get me to understand for months. I love you, and I've taken you for granted.
