SCENE SIX
FADE IN
	
	(RON AND ALASIA'S APARTMENT- SAME DAY)
	
(Alasia sits on the couch very anxious. Ron opens the apartment door and slowly walks pass Alasia looking down to the floor. He lifts his head as he sits on the couch. Alasia closes the door, then turns to look at Ron. Ron looks
	at Alasia.)

				RON
	" So what's up, what you want,"

	(Alasia slowly walks over to the couch with her eyes on Ron)

				ALASIA
	" Look I think there's a lot of things we need to work out, and we
	should do it now, before we gets worse."

	(Ron stands up from the couch and stands in front of Alasia)

				RON
	" I don't know, yo' attitude and all that drama, man I ain't on it."

				ALASIA
	" You act like you ain't got no issues."
		
				RON
	" yeah but you take simple mess to far,"
		
				ALASIA
	" We need to get it together, or we ain't goin' make it,"

				RON
" I ain't got to get nothin' together, I don't know what you talkin' about,"

	(Alasia looks helpless)
	
				ALASIA
	we're up and we're down,
	I'm in and you're out,
	so tell me right now,
	if two is a crowd,
	it's yes then it's no,
	you stop and I go,
	I'm not askin' for much,
	just wanna be loved,
	don't know what to do,
	'cause I'm so confused,
	if I'm just a joke,
	I'm glad you're amused,
	I stay and you leave,
	you talk I believe,
	then just like a knife,
	you cut and I bleed,

	(Ron stares at Alasia for a while)

				RON
	" I try to love you but you always got this attitude,"

				ALASIA
	" Look I'm sorry babe, let's just work this out. I need you."

				RON
	" Oh just like you need Rashod,"

	(Alasia looked at Ron with a shocked look on her face. Ron walks
	up to Alasia with anger on his face.)

				ALASIA
	" What are you talkin' about,"
	(confused)

				RON
" This fool was at the bar talkin' about how a good woman you are, then he tried to kick my ass,"
				ALASIA
" Look I don't know what's goin' on with you and Rashod, but I want to talk about us,"
				RON
	" you been sleepin with him,"
	(yelling, grabbing Alasia by her arms, squeezing them tightly)
				ALASIA
	" Let go of me,"
	(crying in fear)
				RON 
	" I ain't no damn fool, and ain't bitch like you goin' make me one,"
	(angry)

(Ron releases Alasia's arms and slaps her across the face. Alasia falls to the floor crying. RON pauses and looks down at Alasia. He turns toward the door. Alasia
	slowly gets up.)

				ALASIA
	" I hate you,"

	(Ron stops and turns around.)

				ALASIA(cont'd)
	(POEM)
	I hate you 
	for puttin' your hands on me,
	for makin' me hurt,
	and makin' me bleed,
	I hate you
	for your sex and semen,
	causin' me to get pregnant,
	that stopped me from leavin'
	I hate you
	for keepin' me here,
	while you're full of hate,
	and I'm full of fear,
	I hate you
	for all the above,
	and I hate the fact,
	that I'm so much in love

				RON
	" What you say,"

				ALAISA
	" That's right, I'm pregnant,"
( Alasia's eyes suddenly roll in the back of her head and she begins to have a seizure. Ron's eyes widen in shock. He leans down over Alasia)
				RON
	" Aw shit,"
( Ron watches as Alasia's seizure slowly stops. Ron slowly picks her up and carries her into the bedroom. He lays her on the bed and gently rubs her hair with a worried look on his face. Ron looks over at the night table and runs over and grabs her pills.)
				RON
	" Here baby, take these,"
(stuffing three pills into Alasia's mouth. Ron quickly runs into the living room. He runs to the kitchen and gets a glass of water. Ron walks back into the bedroom and helps Alasia drink the water. Ron puts the water on the night table and watches Alasia as she falls asleep. Ron walks over to the other end of the bed and climbs in next to Alasia. He lays down and puts his arm around Alasia)
