The Reality of Our Lives

Facing fears 🤯

Narrator- It's a week later and today is the day Jaden plans on telling Shanae he wants out of the relationship. He calls her over and she shows up quickly. Shanae is so excited to see Jaden that she runs into the house and kisses him. His body language tells it all. He doesn't budge but instead he sits back down on the couch. She sits next to him and asks him what's wrong.
Jaden- "Shanae, when i met you i was in a bad place. I should have just told you everything. I shouldn't have led you on.
Shanae- "What are you trying to say?"
Jaden- "I don't want to be with you anymore."
Shanae- *squints her eyes* "What?!"
Jaden- "I'm sorry but i can't do this anymore."
Shanae- "Why? Never mind i know why. It's because of.... Chelsea? You're back with Chelsea?"
Jaden- "Yes I'm in love with her. We're a family now."
Shanae- "Are you fucking kidding me?!"
Jaden- "Nah I'm so serious but I'm sorry i hurt you."
Shanae- *tears start rolling down her face* "Is that all you have to fucking say?! I knew i shouldn't have trusted you again!"
Jaden- "I'm sorry and you can let yourself out. We cool but i don't want no relations with you anymore."
Shanae- "You can go fuck yourself!"
Jaden- "I know it's hard but you'll get over it one day. You'll be glad i just told you the truth."
Shanae- *slaps Jaden* "Fuck you and don't call me when you don't have anybody else."
Jaden- *puts his hand on his face*
Narrator- "Shanae runs to the car and hurries up and leave out of the drive way. Peyton comes into the house and questions Jaden about what just happened."
Peyton- "What's her problem?"
Jaden- "I broke up with her."
Peyton- "I thought you and Chelsea were.... never mind not my business."
Jaden- "Yeah i love Chelsea and that's why i was honest with Shanae today. I know i hurt her but I'm tired of cheating and lying. I'm in love with Chelsea and i want to be a family."
Peyton- "I knew you'll understand that sooner or later. It's good you went ahead and told her so she can move on with her life. She'll be hurt right now but atleast she don't waste her time any longer."
Jaden- "I really think Chelsea is the girl for me. I have never loved a girl like i love Chelsea. Then she has my baby girl."
Peyton- "She's your first love?"
Jaden- "Yeah you can say that."
Peyton- "You'll never love anybody like you love your first love until you get a wife."
Jaden- "I think Chelsea is my wife."
Peyton- "Just keep your guards up it's a cold world out here."
Narrator- Shakira meets up with Nancy at a nearby store parking lot. Shakira pulls into the parking lot and Nancy is waiting in a black mustang. Shakira gets out and walks over to Nancy's car.
Shakira- "Sorry it took me a minute."
Nancy- "What do you want?"
Shakira- "I had to stop by the bank."
Nancy- "I hope you're not trying to flex with your pocket change."
Shakira- "I'm sure you collected a lot from O'Sean from over the years. I can't amount to what he has but how much for your freedom?"
Nancy- *laughs* "Woman are you delusional? Now i see why Cortez still doesn't pay you any mind. After all these years you'll think you learned how to be a wife."
Shakira- "I could joke with you as well but I'd rather keep it classy. It's not much but it's enough to make you smile. Plus i have more stuff that could get you locked for a while."
Nancy- *looks down at the stack of money Shakira has in her hand* "And what do you know that i don't."
Shakira- "You now more about what happened to Cortez's cousin Alex. In fact, you were there while it happened. Do you really want to go down for  an accessory to the murder. If you think I'm playing I'm not. Leave my godson alone. Keep your daughter away from him! Stick to our agreement and you continue to have your freedom. Now i have five thousand dollars in my hand for you to take as a peace offering.
Narrator- Nancy eyes are red as she reminisces on the night that Alex was killed. O'Sean had Nancy set up Cortez's cousin by hooking up with him. Once Nancy lured him into the bed, O'sean's gang came in and killed him. Shakira found out about her involvement from Jaden's mother before she passed. She didn't tell Cortez because she was afraid of what he would do if he found out. Tears are falling down Nancy's face but she still looks emotionless. She takes the stack of money and gets back into the car. Shakira waits until she drives away before she gets in to the car. Shakira was a bit afraid to face Nancy being that Nancy also has a very dark past. Shakira gets back into her car and opens the shoe box that reads "Shameya" it was letters written talking about what happened to Cortez's cousin the night of his passing. It was a bunch of other stuff that Shakira was holding. She moved the box out of her closet because she didn't want Brandon to get ahold of it. She closes the the box backs up and she puts her head on the steering wheel and cries. She keeps thinking about her best friend whom she will never get to see again.
