WEEK 13 Creative Act
Crystal: I don’t even think you realize the damage that you’ve done to me! You left me to raise your kids while you went out to finish living the rest of your life.
Andrea: I did everything I could for you and those kids. Your daddy left me, ALONE! and I gave ya’ll everything I had left of me. (slams hand on the table)
Crystal: Ma, maybe it’s time for you to realize that it wasn’t enough. You cannot tell me that leaving me to raise two kids while I was still in high school was okay. Ma, I am hurting! The drugs took you away from us, you were never here!
Andrea: Crystal, I had to live my life too. I am sorry that I ruined your life. I am sorry that I was not good to you. I tried the best way I knew how.
Crystal: I pray that I am twice the mother you were to me to my unborn child.
Andrea: Unborn child? Cr- Crystal are you pregnant?
Crystal: Yes, 3 months. That’s actually why I stopped by. I came to pick up the twins and the rest of their stuff. I’m taking them with me and we’re moving to Georgia.
Andrea: You can’t take my kids and my grand baby away from me! The belong TO ME!
Crystal: They are not objects, you have been treating them like objects since dad left and you know damn well you ain’t fit to raise no kids without me around. I am what’s best for them. I raised them and I’ll be damned if I let you put them through what you put me through.
Andrea: So you just gonna take away the only thing I have to live for? the only people I got?
Crystal: Ma, you stopped living a long time ago. (Walks out the door and slowly closes it behind her)
AND SCENE!
