Yeah, but she's sleep.
Okay, well,

I spoke to Belinda okay?
And she told me what happened.
So, I just need to

-What she say?
-I'm not doing this with you.
Nah, she told you the truth?
Zac, I just want to talk to
Fatima now. Okay?
Well, I'm not
letting you do that.
Letting me?
Zac, you are brand new.
-Okay, that's been my girl.
-Is it, though?
'Cause you're other girl just
came in here
and broke her heart.
So, I'm not sure how y'all,
what y'all consider friends.
Look, you don't have to worry
about me with that okay?
'Cause I'm not interested.
So, just get Fatima, please.
No, I'm good.
She need to rest. She tired.
She was hurt
so I'ma let her sleep.
Okay.
-Fatima!
-Angela.
Fatima!
[Fatima] Zac, let her up.
Thank you.
I don't wanna hear shit later.
Look, Bryce is in the car.
Can you go talk to him?
I don't give a damn about Bryce.
[knock at door]
Damn!
-Hey man.
-Come in, I guess.
Walk in people's house.
You learnin' from your girl.
What's up?
-You wanna talk?
-No, I don't.
But we gonna have to.
Want a beer?
-Yeah.
-I'll get some beers.
Yeah, let's go in the backyard
and have a beer.
Fine, I'll meet you in the back.
Okay.
Girl, you okay?
No.
I know, girl, I'm sorry.
How could she do that?
Well.
What Angela?
-Girl, she said it was him.
-Angela.
Look, I'm not tryin'
to take sides.
That bitch, I swear.
Are you sure?
Why you think
I left the damn salon?
I knew it.
Well, girl, was he at her?
Yes, she was at him.
I sat here
and heard the whole thing.
She said he made a pass.
The bitch is lyin', I heard her.
I'm not crazy okay.
I know you're not.
I know you're not.
I know you're, she just, she was
really believable, girl.
Think about it.
She even timed it down to me
getting my hair done.
'Tima, you really think that?
Angela, you know what?
I'm not doing this with you.
I'm not.
You're too damn nice.
Yes, that's what she did.
She timed it all out
and came here.
Zac kept begging her to leave
and she wouldn't.
And when she didn't he came up
here to lock the door.
And she came up right after him.
And I was sitting right here.
So, no.
Wait, how did they not know
you were here?
Don't worry about that.
Look, girl,
I'm just trying to understand.
Okay?
Look, me, you, and Belinda,
we been friends for a long, long
time.
I don't give a shit.
Not anymore.
Y'all breakin' my heart.
I'm sorry, but how do you think
I feel?
'Tima, she told me that
she's only doing this
to prove to you
that Zac is no good.
She told me that bullshit too
and I don't believe her.
Okay, you're right.
I mean,
it's pretty hard to believe.
I mean, think about it.
Why wouldn't she tell me?
Or at least tell you
for that matter?
You right, you right.
So, no, that bitch
is dead to me.
-'Tima, don't say that.
-She is.
Well, hell, girl, I mean,
she was almost dead.
When you shot at her.
If I wanted her dead,
she'd be dead.
That was a warning shot.
Okay, but then you'd be in jail.
-Angela.
-I know, I know,
you don't care.
Not when I'm mad, no.
But girl, when you calm down,
you care.
Mm-mm.
I'm done with her.
I've been there for her.
Yeah girl, I know.
I know.
And I been good to her.
I know, 'Tima, I know.
And she do some shit like that.
It's okay, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Girl, come here, come here.

No.
I'm sorry man.
It is what it is, yo.
-That girl crazy.
-I know.
Can you believe her
coming at me?
What?
Angela told you, right?
Yeah, I mean.
That's what she said but,
you know, I know it's all
bullshit.
What she say?
She said I came for her, right?
-Yeah, that's what she said.
-That's fucked up.
If I came for her
what she come here for?
Yeah, that's what
I asked Angela.
Angela be trying to be too nice.
Fatima cried like a baby too.
You know that right?
Was that before or after
she shot at her?
Bryce, Fatima don't miss.
She could've shot her
if she wanted to.
And me for that matter.
Did the police come?
Mm-mm, I went and got my nail
gun and bust a couple.
Pow, pow, pow.
Just in case the neighbors
started acting weird.
I done been here before.
I ain't gonna let them
take my baby.

It didn't scare you?
Nah, I know Fatima.
She always keep the pistol in
her pocketbook.
And you're okay with that?
It's for protection so, yeah.
But I mean,

I don't want him, I swear I
don't. I'm happy with Zac.
I know Fatima
but Ian was your soulmate.
Yeah, but he ran off.
Yeah, and you ain't been the
same since.
I know and just seeing him today
just, just messed me up.
I'm sorry girl.
It's okay.
Thank you for coming.
I didn't know what else to do.
You know I got you.
I know just, shit, this is so
crazy.
Don't beat yourself up girl.
Look, you didn't do anything
wrong.
I know but when I saw him,
Angela I felt him.
Like, I felt him all over me.
Now, that's a problem.
And he wants to go to dinner.
-Well, maybe you should go.
-What?
You need to see what that was.
So, Zac can kill me?
Look, you should tell him.
You think so?
Yeah, I mean,
if your relationship
is as solid as you say it is,
tell him.
Oh shit.
Okay, I will.
Okay, well look, I gotta get
