Painfully Bipolar Part III
Never knew a second could be this long,
Couldnāt imagine I could be in such a wrong,
Why am I even here?
Should have stayed further rather than near,
A minute is enough for things to dunk,
Just like the torture of the dreadful plank,
*Itās like a whole reunion eyy! Cliff on the floor with a
bloody leg, Sasha playing āNikitaā on the other end, bad Barry on his right
shitting himself scared to death but also upset, weāve got the one who belongs
to the streets miss Gina and a new member āthe brave side chickā. Well this
escalated quickly donāt you think?!!*
One. The Glock has a capacity of 17 rounds, enough for
everyone, how convenient!
Two... why so serious guys, put a smile on your face, might
be your last.
Three. Aaaah! Love, what a wonderful feeling. Sensational!
Four. The one time I choose to care is the first time I
regret about it. So how did this ālittle reunionā come to be if you may ask?
Well I donāt know Iām just the voice stuck in your head!
*He shouts out loud, āI need a smoke!ā*
24 hours agoā¦
Barry: Honey Iām home!
Gina: why are you stopping baby?
Harry: did you hear that? I think your husband is back home
early.
Gina: Oh! Hell no! You should hide!
Harry: where?
Gina: get somewhere to hide, hurry up! If he finds you here Iām
dead.
Harry: married women are the best you said. Fun times you
said. Mature you said.
*As Harry curses himself while trying to find a place to
hide, Barry is so excited to see his wife after such a long day. Aww sweet
love!*
Gina: coming sweetheart.
Barry: sorry Iām such a bother. I think I left my keys in
the bedroom. Iāve missed you by the way.
*Gina opens the door halfway.*
Gina: yes I noticed. I was wondering why your home early.
Barry: Yes. There was not much errands to run today. Got bored in the office so I decided to come back home.
*sniffs* mmmh. That smells good. What you making? Let me in
for Christ sake. Itās my home too you know.
*Barry notices the house is spotless. Not even a speck of
dust. Sensational. Barry doesnāt wear converse doesnāt he? He is a Nike guy. Checks
over stripes is his way of life. An extra plate has been used, spotted on the
kitchen sink. Oh oh Gina you missed a spot!*
Barry: (to himself) maybe we have guests and I havenāt said
hello.
*aww simp!*
Whereas in the next roomā¦
"Casualty, violence, murder thatās how it begins,
Society and misconduct behave like a set of twins,
A parallel universe with no pretend,
Wish you all could hear this and comprehend,
Billionaires advocating for some aid,
Good idea, asking from middle class men and women, well said,
To be or not to be?
The world has no role models, canāt you see?"
I love this poem. (Puts off his 6th cigarette today.
The ash tray is so full)
*He stares at the ash tray immediately after standing up*
Canāt wait to die. Ha-ha! I need to take out the trash. Been
a minute. The only trash to remain should only be me. Laughs in takataka!
*He grabs the trash bags and heads out. Down stairs he finds
Sasha seated on the steps crying as always*
Should I ask whatās wrong? Naah, I should just mind my own business.
But she is in pain, isnāt she? Maybe she's just crying for no good reason. Women right?
I bet she belongs to theā¦..
Sasha: excuse me but that trash bag really stinks and youāre
kind of too close to me right now.
*That snapped him off his deep monologue*
Umm yeah yeah you are right. Sorry for that Iāll leave right
now. Butā¦ umm I couldnāt help but to notice how sad you seem to be, whatās the
matter?
Sasha: go to hell, mind your own business boy.
Umm sure, my bad.
(He walks away immediately. He gives up so easily. But Sasha
seems to regret her choice of words)
Sasha: hey wait. Come back. I didnāt mean to say all those
things. Iām sorry. Iām having a bad day. I actually need someone to talk to. What's your name?
*He looked at her funny then finally told her his name*
Jason: Jason, my name is Jason Smith.
Sasha: you looked hesitant before saying your name. Are you
afraid of me?
Jason: no, not at all. Itās just that Iām not used to people
asking about my name.
Sasha: nice to meet you. Iām Sasha, your next door neighbor.
*Sasha shakes his hand with a flirty smile*
Jason: pleasure knowing you, so what is it you wanted to
talk about? Iām all ears.
Sasha: itās a lot to talk about. Want to come inside and
talk it over a cup of coffee?
Jason: let me drop off these, Iāll be right with you
shortly.
*Jasonās answer literally changed Sashaās mood. She was so
happy suddenly. Jason hurriedly dropped the trash and went back in. Two cups of
coffee were laid on the table*
Sasha: have a seat. Thereās a bowl of sugar right beside
you.
*Jason was admiring her home, broken glass, broken
plates, items on the floor and punch marks on the walls*
Jason: lovely home you got here.
Sasha: cut the bullshit.
Jason: sorry I couldnāt help myself.
Sasha: things werenāt like this before you know. There was a
time I was actually happy. I was actually living my life. Living my age. Having
the type of fun which was amazing. Everything changed when love was brought
into the picture.
*Why that look Jason? Sounds familiar?*
Jason: What happened?
Sasha: I was 17 when I first met Cliff. He was 24 and a high
school dropout. I fell in love with him at the first moment we laid eyes on
each other. He used to hang around my school with his friends playing dice. Once
in a while he could say hi and I flattered that a lot. We got to hang out
together and thatās when I felt the spark. The flame was really burning. I was
deeply in love with him. And I was so convinced he was the one. One night I sneaked
from home just to go meet up with him. He took me to his place. It wasnāt much
of a place but it was something. That night was magical. We made love.
Jason: cough! Cough! Sorry for that.
Sasha: the day I would never forget. He was amazing. And thatās
when I got pregnant for the first time. I was scared, my folks werenāt supposed to
hear about that. I told Cliff about it and he handled the news so calmly which
was weird. Too weird, he didnāt have much to start a family duty.
*The strength of a woman is to protect her baby,
The kidās raising is not only for the lady,
So man up and own to your mistake,
But is it really a mistake when you were giving shots that
were breath take*
Sasha: Cliff put abortion pills in my water. Grounded into powder. I drank all of
it without knowing his plot. I lost the baby. The pain was unimaginable. I donāt
know what hurt the most the pill or that the person who did it was the person I
love. Thatās when I knew I messed up. But it was too late. I ran away from
home, quit school because Cliff threatened me if I wasnāt going to do so. Did I
have a choice?
*Sasha breaks down. Jason does not know what to do or say. What
the hell Jason, say something for fuck sake.*
Jason: Am sorry Sasha. Itās Sasha right? Iām sorry but itās
not your fault. Things will get better. Keep your head high.
Sasha: Thank you. You are really nice to me. *She embraces
him tightly. But her arms are all over. Whatās going on here?* I feel safe that
you are here.
Jason: um mm, sure. I think I should get going now.
*Jason tries to free himself from the attachment. But Sasha
pulls him much closer. She really does not want him to leave*
Sasha: Please stay much longer. I promise I wonāt bite.
Cliff wonāt be back for a while.
*Temperature risingā¦*
Barry: Who the hell is this Gina? Somebody better start
talking or else. * Barry is fuming over the naked man who he found behind the
curtain. A bloody huge dagger, he was mad. Its red Friday.*
Gina: wait honey I can explain. Heās just a friend of mine. We
were having a little chat.
Barry: in our bedroom? Are you kidding me right now? Having a
chat naked? How stupid do you think I am?
Harry: excuse me but I am having an affair with your wife.
And I love her!
Gina: shut up you idiot! Donāt listen to him baby. Itās not
what it looks like. Will you trust me or a stranger?
Harry: weāve had sex so many times when you arenāt around. Countless
times. And you know what? Iām not sorry!
Gina: will you shut the hell up!
Barry: both of you shut the hell up. Gina weāve been married
for 10 years now. 10 years weāve had children, all grown up. They look up to
us. And you just throw it away.
Gina: you are never home when I need you!
Barry: What the hell do you mean? I go out, work my ass off,
so that we get decent living over here. I get you gifts almost every time. You donāt
have a job, all you do is sit all day and look pretty every day. And you are
out here playing blame game!
Gina: (stares at him)
Harry: I think I should go. This was a mistake.
*Barry grabs him and pulls hi back*
Barry: where do you think you are going?
*Barry chases him all over the house, he was blood thirsty
for revenge. Gina ran after the two all over the house till finally harry made
it for the door. Barry wasnāt done. They all ran around the corridor like itās
a freaking circus.*
In a quiet discrete locationā¦
Cliff: why on earth did you send that video to her? Are you crazy?
Really now? This was supposed to be our little secret.
Tasha: Iām tired of being a secret. Iām better than her and
you said so yourself. Leave her and we can start over. I have money I have a
job I have multiple businesses.
Cliff: Thatās not how it works. She has my baby. Itās high
time I take responsibility. *Yeah right!* I need to start acting right for her.
*Hate to break it to you sir, but your girl is getting piped
by some bipolar weird guy because you made her feel like trash. Checkmate brother!*
Tasha: itās either me or her. If itās me, we are going
together, to your place, pick up your stuff and you say goodbye to your little princess.
If you choose otherwise, get your shit from here and leave. Donāt call me, donāt
text me & donāt even think of me. So whatās your choice?
*Oops! Things got intense so quickly but Cliff went with
Tasha to get his stuff from home. Guess we know what he chose now. They both
arrived. Fast you ask? Well Tasha has a car!*
back at Cliff's place....
Sasha: Iāve not had that much fun in like forever.
Jason: me too I guess.* He dresses up so fast* so youāve agreed
to take my advice right?
Sasha: you opened up my eyes. I just needed that emotional
uplift. You are the sweetest guy I have ever met.
Jason: you are the only girl who has ever taken my word.
*They stare each other wanting to kiss once more, but guess
what? They are cut short by Cliff and his side chick. He is mad. His pistol is
out. Ready to use it.*
Cliff: what are you freaking doing with this weirdo? Sasha what
were you doing withā¦ no no no hold up. So this I the guy youāve been cheating
on me with? Huh? So the baby is his isnāt it?
Sasha: donāt you dare say that to me you ignorant bastard. You
are always out there playing Shrek and Fiona with this whore of yours.
Tasha: excuse me?
Sasha: Shut up ugly! Cliff Iām done with your shit.
Iām a woman, physically weak but my will is strong,
No man can tell me what is right or wrong,
Iām a woman, resourceful as hell,
Give me something to work with and youāll get excited to
tell the tale,
Iām a woman, always I get scared,
I could use some
protection rather than harm to be fair,
Iām a woman, hear me out,
Because if you wonāt, the next person will, without a doubt.
So Iām done with your shit. And Iām leaving.
Cliff: nobody is going nowhere. Close the door Tasha.
*Tasha heads to close the door but harry and Barry storm in,
Gina follows and thatās how āthe reunionā happened. That was enough distraction
for Jason to knock Cliff off guard dropping his weapon. Sasha quickly picked it
up. And in an attempt to stop the fight between Cliff and Jason, he shot Cliffs
leg. That was enough to get back order. A bloody mess. Everyone stopped and
surrendered. Sasha was in charge now!*
Sasha: Close the door. We are going to be here for a long
time!
Back to the present nowā¦..
*so basically itās a mad house here. This one did this this
one did that. This one wanted this the other wanted that. Jason finally
revealed his name. Cliff a narcissist as always. Everything is heated up.*
Jason: This is not what we talked about. There is no need
for this. Just take the L and walk away.
Sasha: I am not walking away. This idiot ruined me. I had a
happy life. A bright future. Surrounded by love, but it just had to be you. I hate
you.
*Cliff is on the floor in pain. Tasha cries beside him. Trying
to nurse his leg.*
Sasha: someone is dying tonight!
