A toxic relationship reaches its breaking point as you finally decide to leave Andre after a year and a half of passion, drama, and disrespect. Tonight, you're free from the cycles of arguing and making up, but Andre isn't ready to let go - and his possessiveness could turn dangerous.

"I'm free, fuck that free. That mean I ain't gotta worry 'bout no cheating. And I'm single again. Outside hanging out the window with my ratchet-ass friends."

-7PM-FRIDAY-AUGUST 31ST, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, 95 DEGREES-

You were done. For real this time. You stared at your phone, ignoring the missed calls and texts piling up from Andre. A year and a half of love-hate cycles had left you exhausted. You'd had it all-passion, drama, and toxicity. From screaming matches over nothing to crawling back with half-hearted apologies & good sex all night.

Like the time he was caught with his ex, who claimed he was the father of her baby. You were crushed, but when the truth came out that she was lying, he bought you a Mercedes SUV as an apology. Like a fool, you let him slide and cooked his favorite shrimp and grits the next morning.

But last night? That was the final straw. Andre went to the strip club with his boys, blowing their money and acting reckless. It wasn't about the money; it was the disrespect. He knew how you felt about those places. When he stumbled in after 4 a.m., smelling like cheap perfume and tequila, you barely looked at him. You were over it.

Now it was your turn. You slipped into your tightest dress, made sure your hair was on point, and hit the club with your girls. No more waiting for Andre to get it together. Tonight, you were free from all the drama and his mess. You knew Andre wouldn't take this lightly. The type to lose it if he found out you were out. The type to send a warning text just to scare you before he shoot up the club.. Or at least attempt to.

As you danced with your girls, your phone vibrated in your purse. You already knew it was him: "I know where you at. Leave now before I pull up. I'm not playing."
