Hey man, thanks for coming to get me.

I just picked up my homeboy.
In fact, you know what, he’s here right now. I’ll talk to later, alright?
You even got flowers.
You getting all soft on me?
You didn’t drop the soap, did you?
Man, come on man, don’t play with me.
Alright, let’s go.
Welcome home, bro!
What’s up?
Hey baby.
I missed you.
Welcome home.
Dani, not right now.
Not right now?
Look, I’m tired.
Okay?
I just want to go to sleep.
Get off me!
Baby…
You okay?
Yeah, it’s just a nightmare.
Just go back to sleep.
Hey!
Are you okay?
I gotta go.
What do you mean you have to go?
What’s wrong with you?
I just gotta go.
Are you gonna talk to me?
Babe!
Hey, baby.
Something wrong?
Momma, I was raped.
What?!
What happened?
How?!
In jail?!
Yeah.
And I keep having nightmares about it.
Danielle even tried to make love and I just couldn’t.
Did you report it?
No, to who?
I can’t report it, you know what that would do to me?
Okay, you’re just suffering from PTSD.
What?
Post traumatic stress disorder.
Baby Jayson, you’ve been traumatized.
And you need to speak to somebody.
I’m speaking to you about it.
Baby, I’m glad, I’m glad you told me.
But I’m talking about a professional Jayson, a therapist.
Someone that can help you through this.
Baby, you gonna have to get tested.
For STD’s, and HIV.
Why don’t we try to get some rest, and we will figure all this out in the morning. Okay?
Okay.
Momma, can I ask you a question?
Of course, baby.
Am I gay now?
Come here, come here baby.
My baby.
