Chres' House
Jamie; (laughs shaking her head) Mama you know Chres better than me. You knew who him and y/n were. What they had. What do you think I should do?
Mrs.August: Look Jamie it's not my place to tell you two what to do. The only thing I can say is You and Chres have been together for 6 years. Don't give up on him but don't hold him back. Maybe you guys should just take a break. See where things go.
Jamie: So just let him go. Don't fight for what we have?
Mrs.August: first ask yourself is the fight worth fighting.
The door alarm goes off.
Cj: Daddy!!! (Runs up to him)
Chres: hey. (Picks him up)
Mrs.August: (walks out of the kitchen and down the hall)
Chres: (looks at her)
Mrs.August: (points towards the kitchens) come on Cj let your parents talk.
Chres: (puts him down)
Cj: (follows Mrs.August)
Chres: (walks in the kitchen)
Jamie: (wipes her tears)
Chres: (exhales) Jamie..
Jamie: do you love her chres?
Chres: I do.
Jamie; so what was I? Did you even love me?
Chres: what Jamie of course I did.
Jamie: did? (Nods) okay.
Chres: I'll always be here for you and Cj? Oaky.
Jamie: (chuckles a little) I'm sorry I just can't believe it's this easy for you.
Chres: (looks down) Jamie we met and had Cj the same year.
Jamie: so?
Chres: everything was rushed. We never got to know each other.

Nobody peeping the ring finger? Someone put a ring on it.
-That looks like her old wedding band. Roc gave it to her I'm calling it.
-y'all reaching.
You: (look at you wedding band) Chres you have some crazy fans. How'd someone point out my band.
Chres: (laughs and shrugs)
You: (put your phone down)
Chres: I'm going to fly back with them okay?
You: (look at him) okay?
Chres: I just don't want people saying things about you. Y/n I might lash out if they do.
You: (smile a little and kiss him) Don't do that.
Chres: (gets under the covers and pull you to him)
You: (kiss his lips)
Chres: (holds your face to his)
Next morning.
You're cooking
Devon: (walks in the kitchen and looks at the table) man is it another one of those table breakfast?
You: yes Dev. We need to talk.
Devon: about Roc?
You: yeah. (Look at him)
Devon: (sits at the table) I'm glad y'all are back together. Does that mean we're moving to lA? What about CJ?
You: that's what we're going to talk about once Chres and the girls are up.
Devon: he's here?!
You: yes he is.
Devon: he stayed the night?
You: (laugh) yes Devon.
Devon; (looks at you)
You: (continues cooking)
-10 minutes later-
Chres: You're really going to eat 4 pancakes?
You: Chres he's a monster now. All he does is eat and play video games.
Chres: that means you need to workout more.
Devon: I do when I have practice.
You: yeah but not during the summer. (Laughs)
Chloe: (walks in)
You: (stop laughing and look at her)
Chres: (turns around) Chloe.(stands up) good morning.
Chloe: Morning dad. (Looks at you) Morning mom.
You: morning.
Chloe: (sits down)
You: is your sister up?
Chloe: I didn't check.
You: that's fine. I'll go wake her. (Walks out)
-moments later-
You: (try to go in her room but it's locked)
You: Zoey. (Knocks on the door)
Zoey: (opens her door)
You: (push the door open and walk in) your dad is here. We're going to talk.
Zoey: I was going out with a friend for Breakfast.
You: Zoey what's the deal?
Zoey: (sits on her bed)
You: Zoey..
Zoey: mom all these years I didn't want to believe the blogs but they were right.
You: what?
Zoey: I thought dad was the reason behind the divorce, the back to back breakups but it's been you and you're doing it again. And the way you do it, it like you only care about your feelings.
You: (looking at her) Zoey what? It's not just me I'm thinking if.
Zoey: Well how does KB feel? He really loved you mom. I'm seeing it now. It's all clear. You was just using him a void. You didn't care how he felt and you didn't care how me and Chloe felt when you was sneaking around with Ray and you don't give a damn how Cj or Jamie feels.
You: okay Zoey that's enough.
Zoey: No mom it's not. What's going to happen next? When dad goes back on tour. You're going to find someone else to fill that empty feeling and then what? You and dad are over agin. Cj grows up in a broken house just like Me, Chloe and Devon.
Chloe: (walks to the door)
Zoey: and who's the center of it all again? you mom.
You: Zoey (looking at her with tears coming to your eyes)
Zoey: (looking at yiu)
You: have fun on your breakfast date. (Gets up and walk out her room)
Chloe: mom.
You: (shake your head and keep waking)
Chloe: (looks at Zoey) what's wrong with you?
Zoey: (gets up and grab her purse) I'm tired of being lied to Chloe. I'm tired of being lied to and I'm tired of being around people that lie.
Chloe: Zoey. It's not just mom this time. Dad obviously had a part in this so you can't just lash out on her.
