The scene opens up then next day before the yacht party, Brandon Young is shown sitting outside of a small coffee shop sipping on a small coffee and eating a lemon pound cake, the scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
It's a day before the yacht party and I wanted to meet up with London to make sure he was ok, I'm sure after the club incident he wasn't in the mood to be surrounded around people, especially the people who put him in that situation. I also invited my best friend and Drake’s cousin Dutchess to meet with us to, she just recently relocated to LA to pursue her music career so I wanted her to meet some people so she wouldn't feel alone.
The scene cuts back to the coffee shop, Dutchess is shown walking up to the table, she leans down and hugs Brandon before taking a seat.
Dutchess: This is so far out, I thought I was never going to get here especially with all the traffic.
Brandon: I fought the same traffic to but I live closer, anyway how you liking LA so far?
Dutchess: A lot better than NY, it's more to do and from what I'm seeing the people are a lot nicer and more mellow. I've been here a few months but I've been locked up in the studio so I haven't really got the chance to explore and let my wild side go bitch.
Dutchess laughs.
Brandon: Well I’m here now so all that is about to change, I have a friend who is meeting us here in a few minutes so I wanted to give you a heads up. He's cool though, he's gay and you may know his sister Brooklyn Carter.
Dutchess: Oh you talking about London, I've only met him once back at a party a mutual friend of ours threw. He's a sweet guy, I didn't even realize you knew him but then again so much has been on my mind I probably didn't remember.
Brandon: I just wanted to meet with him to make sure he was okay, we ran into a little incident at the club the other night and I just wanted to make sure he was good.
Dutchess: Oh boy drama? You sure know where to find that.
Brandon: Look it wasn't even involving me this go around so I'm happy.
Before Brandon could finish, London walks up wearing a givenchy jumpsuit with some marijuana socks and Versace low tops, he walks up to the table where Dutchess and Brandon were sitting and joins the two, he orders a coffee and a small ham and turkey sandwich with mayo from the waiter and the scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
Brandon asked me to join him for some coffee this morning, I guess he wanted to get all the tea he can to figure out why I flipped out the other night and that's fine I know he's probably concerned. I never had an issue with Brandon even when he first started coming around, I figured he was young and just wanted to have fun and nothing was wrong with that, a lot of people judged him but I didn't. I guess you could say we had a close friendship because his boyfriend and Anthony are close so we would all hang out sometimes but I wanted to see what he had on his mind.
The scene cuts back to the coffee shop.
London: Sorry I'm late, I ran into traffic on the way and it was a mess.
Brandon: You cool, Dutchess just got here a few minutes ago and I couldn't wait, I was hungry.
London: I can see, but anyway I think we've met before Dutchess, how have you been?
London leans over and gives Dutchess a hug.
Dutchess: Working like a hebrew slave baby, trying to make this money. I heard you've been running a ruckus here in the city, I wish I could have been apart of that.
London: I've been trying to keep it low key honestly, people been bringing me out of my comfort zone to be honest.
Dutchess: Tell me about it.
Brandon: Like what the heck happened?
London: I mean the boy is just disrespectful. He likes the fact that Anthony and I are in a bad place and last night I guess he felt macho and wanted to put his nose into my business.
Brandon: Oh he felt cunt.
London: He felt more than that, I don't care if you friends with my dude or not. Whatever is going on in our relationship shouldn't be a concern. I told myself coming back into this situation I wasn't going to allow anyone to take me out of character but last night I failed and I'm pissed.
Dutchess: That sucks man.
London: It's cool though, I won't let it happen again.
Brandon: So what did Carlos say about it?
London rolls his eyes as the scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
I really needed to talk to Carlos again and let him know I felt set up, I mean Carlos was my friend first and I’m not saying he can't be friends with him, all I'm saying is he could have given me a heads up or not allow us to even be alone in that whole setting.
The scene cut backs to the coffee shop.
Brandon: I know Carlos feels bad about the whole thing.
London: Well if Carlos wouldn't have invited him then I'm sure the night would have been different.
Dutchess: Aren't we all going to the same party though? So what's going to happen at the party? I mean you already know I got your back but at the same time I don't want any drama.
Dutchess pauses.
Dutchess: But then again who said we can't have fun and have a little drama to.
London: Well I'll be prepared for whatever I'm walking into, I don't care.
The three continue to talk as the scene cuts to Beverly Hills, the scene opens up with Levi and his friend Noah walking down the avenue, the two stop at a local sunglasses pop up shop and make their way inside, the scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
I needed to get out the house and do some shopping, nothing wrong with a little retail therapy and I wanted to be prepared for this little outing I was invited to tomorrow, so why not a perfect pair of shades for all the shade that will be thrown tomorrow.
Levi laughs.
LEVI BRYANT"
I invited my friend Noah to tag along because I needed some advice on how to handle this whole situation with London. I knew I was new to the group so I didn't want to be the one causing problems.
The scene cuts back to the sunglasses store, inside Levi and Noah are walking around checking out all the different styles and brands of shades.
Levi: Man I'm loving these black ones right here, but $650 that's a lot.
Noah: I mean chile look where we're at, you know finding anything under $100 in this shop and I doubt $100 will even get you a lense.
Levi: You stupid.
Noah: But tell me what happened the other night, I’m sorry I missed your call but that overnight shift is a killer.
Levi: Basically to make a long story short I ran into London, we had some words, he didn't like the words I had for him so he tried to fight me and keyword is try.
Noah: Chile the drama.
Levi: I mean it is what it is, if he want to throw hands we can do that. All I wanted to do was set boundaries between us because we knew the same man and I just wanted to clear up some issues that we had.
Noah: But what issues?
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
As the story thickens, London doesn't like me because he thinks Anthony and I messed around during the time they were together which is untrue. I've never played the role of side dude and I’ll never will, that's more of London's role.
The scene cuts back to inside the store.
Levi: Listen this all boils down to an insecurity issue, London cheated and now he can't handle the aftermath.
Noah: I never understood why the girls cheat but can't handle the consequences. Even if you two did mess around after the fact London shouldn't care because they aren't together.
Levi: Separated.
Noah: Chile they not sleeping in the same home so they're not together. So what's going to happen then next time you two run into each other?
Levi: I don't know what he's going to do but I’m going to keep my cool, I'm not here for the childish games, I feel like we should all be able to coexist and be in one room together as adults and be cordial. But trust my guard will always be up whenever I'm in a room with that man!
One of the sunglasses employees walks over to the boys, Levi picks up the black shades from earlier and hands them to the worker.
Levi: I guess I'll take these.
Levi pulls out a wad of cash and pays for the glasses, the two exit out of the shop and continue their stroll down the avenue as the scene cuts Lush nightclub where inside Carlos is shown in his office watching the security footage from last night, he shakes his head in disgust as he watches his friend London take a dive at Levi. The scene cuts to a confessional.
CARLOS TORREZ"
I was still in shock after what happened in my club last night, and I was a little more upset after my conversation with London in the hotel earlier. I understood why he was upset with whole invite but what I didn't like was my name being tossed around like I was just untrustworthy. London and I have history, I mean who remembers the infamous fight between us on that couch.
The scene cuts back to first seasons reunion when Carlos attacked London after only filming for a few minutes, the scene cuts back to Carlos and the confessional.
CARLOS TORREZ"
But since that fight I felt like we were good, we've hosted parties together and even hung out personally and the crazy thing is Levi has been around us on multiple occasions so I don't understand the issue now.
The scene cuts back to Carlos inside of his office at the club, a knock is heard on the door and Carlos presses the button on the monitor shutting the screen off, he walks over to the door and on the other side stood Brandon.
Brandon: Bitch what took you so long?
Carlos: Sorry I was watching the security footage from last night, anyway what's up? I didn't know you were stopping by.
Brandon: I know you didn't know because I didn't tell you, anyway I just wanted stop by and talk to you about this Yacht party tomorrow, I think you should uninvite Levi.
Carlos: And why do you think I should do that?
Brandon: Because I don't want London our friend to be uncomfortable, I mean do you want another repeat of yesterday? London is still pissed about the situation and I don't think all of us on a boat is smart.
Carlos: So maybe we should uninvite London then, I mean he is the problem.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
CARLOS TORREZ"
I can't believe the audacity of this dude, like you want me to uninvite my friend because London can't act like an adult.
The scene cuts back to Carlos club.
Carlos: I spoke with London earlier and he said he was still coming to the party.
Brandon: Well I mean of course he's going to show, that would be dumb if he didn't. But I just wanted us to have a good time and not deal with the petty bullshit and let's not forget that Levi approached him and started this whole mess, London was chill the whole night so maybe your mad at the wrong person.
Carlos: If you and Yosef could sit in the same room along with Richie Rich then I'm sure London can handle one person.
Brandon: Different situation and scenario.
Carlos: It all boils down to infidelity so who cares, I'm not uninviting anyone so that's that. I have some work to do so I guess I'll see you tomorrow.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
Carlos was trippin, but that's fine, I wasn't going to let his little sassy ass attitude take me out of character.
Brandon shakes his head and makes his way back out the door, the scene fades to a art studio located downtown LA, inside Yosef is shown looking at some photographs and admiring some of the work inside, he turns and looks out the huge window and notices Richie Rich handing his keys to the valet, Richie Rich smiles and makes his way inside the gallery meeting with Yosef.
Richie: Sorry I’m late, I had a few things to do before coming here.
Yosef: It’s cool, I was just enjoying these paintings, I swear art is fascinating, if only I could have my work showcased in here.
Richie: I mean you never know, it may happen.
Yosef: Nah, this modeling career doesn’t give me the time I need to actually focus and make good art. I could quit modeling but if I quit that then the money will stop coming in and lord knows we need coins to survive.
Richie: Amen!
Yosef: But anyway, the other night was crazy man. I don’t know the whole situation and what happened but I feel bad for everyone involved.
Richie: I mean you shouldn’t, I won’t comment to much about it because it’s none of my business but I’m just happy the drama was with me.
Yosef: I just knew Brandon was going to start something with us.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
YOSEF MARLEY"
I’m surprised Brandon didn’t cause a scene, it’s been months since we’ve all been in the same room and I just knew he was going to have some words for me. Maybe he is finally over me!
The scene cuts back to the art gallery.
Richie: That’s so old news, it would be pointless for him to start any drama with us because we squashed that mess last year.
Yosef: That is true but some people be in their feelings, maybe we didn’t get enough time for something to pop off because of that mess with London and that boy Levi.
Richie: I’ve never seen that boy ever, or at least spoke to him. I know we all model and sometimes wind up at the same events and fashion shows but I mean for him to be thrown into our group and starting drama already, that’s not cool.
Yosef: Trying to make a name for himself I guess, he is around all established men so I can see why he acted that way, but look I’m not for the drama so let them duke it out if they want, just leave me out of that mess.
Richie: Well I don’t get why he’s the topic of conversation, I mean we do have our own lives.
Yosef: Anyway I need to find something for this Yacht party, I heard it's going to be a lot of people there so I need to make sure I look better then the most.
Yosef laughs as the scene fades to a confessional.
YOSEF MARLEY"
To be honest I was only concerned about going to turn up and have fun, I’m not really interested in anyone else's drama or problems.
The scene cuts back to the art gallery, Yosef and Richie Rich are still inside enjoying the art and mingling with some of the other guests as the scene cuts to another location.
THE NEXT DAY.
The scene opens up in Malibu, CA. The beach is shown along with a pier and a Yacht attached, on the outside Carlos is shown standing with Levi, the two stand near the entrance waiting for others to arrive, the scene cuts to a confessional.
CARLOS TORREZ"
Today is the day of the Yacht Party and I’m already feeling a little buzzed, I had a few a drinks on the way to the boat because I needed to be prepared for what could possibly go down today. My friend Levi decided to ride in with me and at first I was against the whole idea but I decided to just let it go, I mean if anyone had a problem with it then they can come see me.
The scene cuts back to the loading area.
Carlos: Where the hell is everyone?
Levi: You know we on CP time.
Carlos: Well these fools need to come on, I’m ready to party.
After waiting for a few moments, the rest of the group start to pile in, London pulls up in a black Tahoe, he hops out of the backseat and notices Carlos and Levi standing together, he shakes his head as he walks over to the other side waiting for Brandon and Dutchess to get out, the two join London and they all make their way over to where Carlos and Levi are standing. The scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
I could only laugh to myself when I walked up and saw Carlos and Levi standing outside together, part of me didn’t care but the other part of me felt like I shouldn’t mess with Carlos anymore, I can surely see where his head's at.
London pauses.
LONDON CARTER"
But oh well, I won’t let these two bums spoil my fun.
The scene cuts back to the dock area, Brandon, London, and Dutchess all make it to where Carlos and Levi we’re standing. All spoke to each other except for London and Levi, London looks up at the Yacht and grabs his items making his way up the long walkway heading onto the boat while Brandon and Dutchess follow behind.
Levi: So immature.
Levi rolls his eyes and follows behind Carlos who is making his way onto the boat also, a few more minutes go by and another car pulls up with both Richie Rich and Yosef inside, the two hop out and make their way onto the Yacht joining the rest of group on there. Yosef and Richie Rich make their way towards the main area where most of the group is standing.
Yosef: I need a drink already.
Richie: Who you telling?
Yosef turns and pours himself a drink, making Richie Rich one to. Brandon walks over to Yosef extending his hand out for a drink also.
Yosef: Oh you want ME to make you a drink?
Yosef smiles.
Brandon: Boy stop playing and pour me a drink, please.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
Awkward! But oh well, we were going to have to talk eventually, so why not break the ice by asking for a drink.
The scene cuts back to the boat with Yosef and Brandon standing alone, Richie Rich walked off to the side to hang with London while Carlos and Levi are shown on the other end of the boat mingling with some of the other guests and dancing to the music.
Yosef: I made you an extra strong one, just for you.
Brandon: Someone trying to get lucky tonight.
Yosef: With who? You?
Brandon: It was a joke.
Yosef: You already know where those jokes will lead you, keep it cute.
Brandon: Well I just wanted to break the ice, I know we haven’t really spoken to each other since that huge blowup between you know me, you and my boyfriend but I just wanted you to know I had no hard feelings and that I wanted to fix our friendship, that is if it is fixable.
Yosef pauses for a second, he takes a sip of his drink before responding.
Yosef: Our relationship has always been fixable and all the extra crap could have been avoided if you would have just been honest with me.
Brandon: But I was honest, it's just that the relationship I was in was kind of an on and off type thing I didn't expect for me and Drake to get back together but I do apologize for how things turned out.
Yosef: Well it's a new year and I'm staying away from all drama including you, I'm sure he doesn't know we're around each other because if he did you wouldn't be standing here talking to me at the moment.
Brandon: Oh really?
Yosef: Let's be serious Brandon.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
I think I was being serious, no I know I was being serious. Don’t get me wrong a long time ago I did have feelings for Yosef, Drake and I were going through a rough patch and we were separated at the time, and I’m sure Drake was out doing him so why couldn’t I?
The scene cuts back to Brandon and Yosef.
Yosef: Look it doesn’t matter now, I’ve moved on and you're still dating that lame so it is what is, let's just enjoy the time now and not focus on what happened in the past.
Brandon: You right.
The two smile as they continue sipping on their drinks, the scene cuts over to London who is sitting on the opposite side. He places his earphones on his head but before he could play his first song, Levi walks up tapping him on the shoulder. London removes the earphones away from his ear and jumps up to his feet meeting Levi face to face and the scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
What the hell does this boy want?
The scene cuts back to London and Levi.
Levi: Look I wanted to be the better man and apologize for what happened at the club the other night, it was never my intention to upset you or making you feel a certain way. I just felt like I needed to say something because I am friends with Anthony and I just didn’t want to make our outings awkward or uncomfortable.
London: But why would you think they would be uncomfortable? You are friends with my man, you’re not sleeping with him so it wouldn’t matter.
Levi: London, you already know the type of relationship Anthony and I have so I don’t know why you would think any differently.
London: Look, you were just a side piece at the time, Anthony had no real intention into making you into anything and I think that's what bothers you. You thought that what happened with Anthony and I was going to tear us apart but instead it's only made us stronger.
Levi: Stronger how? You two barely speak these days and still married.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
Now this prick was being disrespectful, this is exactly why I can’t be around him.
The scene cuts back to Levi and London.
London: Look I’ve only been on this boat for ten minutes and I didn’t think that the drama would start so fast, I don’t care what you and Anthony have nor do I wanna know. But understand this if I wanted that man then I can have him whether you were in the picture or not.
Levi: Well I just wanted to walk over and apologize, I wanted us to all to have fun today without the drama and the tension in the room is so thick.
London: Levi we cool, we’re not friends and we probably never will be and I don’t have an issue with sitting in the same room with you, I’m grown so I can handle that. What I don’t like is the constant disrespect coming from you regarding my relationship.
Before Levi could respond, Carlos rushes up to the two.
Carlos: Is everything ok?
London: Peachy.
London rolls his eyes and walks away from Carlos and Levi leaving the two standing there, he walks over to where Brandon and Yosef are standing interrupting the two.
London: Yo tell Levi to stay out of my way, like I’m serious, if he keeps trying to talk to me I will end up knocking his teeth right out of his mouth.
Yosef: Damn, it’s that bad?
London: If you only knew the half of it.
Carlos walks over to where Brandon, London and Yosef are standing and grabs ahold of London’s arm pulling him away from other two boys.
Carlos: We need to talk.
London snatches his arm away.
London: Ok we can talk, but I don’t need you grabbing my arm like you my dude or something, so what's up Carlos?
Carlos: Look I don’t get why you and Levi can’t get along, like he came over to apologize to you bro and you’re acting like a bitch.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
A Bitch? Oh yeah he trippin.
The scene cuts back to London and Carlos.
London: Look I suggest you stop speaking to me before you say something your going to regret, we already had issues in the past Carlos and I’m sure you don’t wanna go back to that. I’m trying my hardest not to be upset with you and let this whole situation go but if you're going to keep pushing it on me then it’s going to be a problem.
Carlos: I mean if that’s how you feel, I just don’t want to be involved in this foolishness.
London: Then let it go, you're the only one trying to make us be friends, I don’t like dude so leave it at that and stop trying to force me to have conversations with him, better yet stop inviting me or him to these little events and we wouldn’t have any issues.
Carlos: You're so immature London.
London: And your a fake ass friend.
Carlos: Yeah, chill out bruh.
Carlos steps closer to London, close enough to where their lips almost touched, London pushes Carlos back, Carlos tries to run up but Brandon steps in between the two.
Brandon: Yeah this won’t be going down today, y’all chill the hell out.
Carlos: Move out my way Brandon because London feeling himself right now.
London: Man whatever.
London rolls his eyes, turning the other direction and making his way down to the second level of the Yacht, he reaches the bottom part and leans against the railing staring out into the ocean, a tear starts to form in London’s eyes but he quickly wipes it away hoping no one would see it. Dutchess who was already down on the second level walks over to London wrapping her arms around his waist and hugging him from the back.
Dutchess: Whatever is wrong with you babe, don’t let it bother you. People will only try to get under your skin only if you let them so don’t let it bother you.
London: Girl I know, but it’s not even them getting under my skin I’m worried about, I just have a lot going on in my personal life and I just don’t have time to deal with all the extra drama to be honest. I really feel like my relationship is going nowhere and I don’t know what to do about it, I really messed up.
Dutchess: But who doesn’t? I don’t know Anthony personally but I’ve met him a few times during our sessions with Drake and he always seem like a sweet guy, every time i was around him he would always say good things about you so I don’t see why the relationship is still struggling. I mean things happen and people cheat, it's about moving on and not repeating the same mistakes, but if you guys are constantly living in the past then things will never change.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
I mean she was right, even though I already knew this stuff, it felt good to hear it from someone else. I was happy that Dutchess rushed to my side to make sure I was ok, I didn’t know her that well but it didn’t bother me to hear honesty from someone who I knew wasn’t being shady or ignorant.
The scene cuts back to Dutchess and London.
Dutchess: Once we reach our destination if you want, we can blow this whack party and go somewhere else.
London: I’m down for that, I need a drink forreal.
The two continue talking as the scene cuts back upstairs with Levi and Carlos standing near the captain, the two laugh as they take shots together.
Carlos: I don’t know what London’s issue is but I’m over it, I tried to calm his ass down but once he started jumping at me then I have a problem with that.
Levi: Well it was never my intention to cause issues between you two, but London’s immature and I definitely don’t want drama in my space.
The two continu talking as Brandon makes his way up to them, Brandon stands there for a second listening to the two talk and shakes his head in disgust.
Brandon: I can’t believe y’all two still sitting over here talking trash and London not even around, and I’m shocked that you feeding into this crap Carlos, your friend downstairs is hurt and all you can do is sit upstairs with this catty queen and cause more drama.
Carlos: What are you talking about Brandon?
Brandon: You're fake bruh, that’s what I’m talking about.
Levi: How is he fake? Because he’s friends with me?
Brandon: I don’t think I was talking to you sir, this conversation is between Carlos and I, let's not forget you're new to this little group so your words don’t mean shit right now.
Carlos: Yo Bran chill, that’s not cool.
Brandon: And it’s not cool that little Miss Thing over here hasn’t been in the group a week and she already causing issues between everyone, that should tell you something.
Carlos: But didn’t the same thing happen with you when you first started coming around?
Brandon: You know what Carlos, y’all must be hooking up something because I find it funny that you can point out all our issues and flaws but ignoring his, so I’ll see my way out of this conversation because I feel like if I stick around I’ll end up fighting and I’m not talking about one person.
Before Carlos could respond, Brandon knocks the drink out of Carlos hand forcing it to the floor, Carlos balls his fist up but Levi grabs a hold of Carlos hands forcing them back down to his side.
Levi: It’s not even worth it.
Both Levi and Carlos stand there shaking their head in disgust as they watch Brandon walk away heading down the stairwell to the second level where both Dutchess and London are still standing and the scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
Yeah both them dudes trippin and I swear they have to hooking up, why is Carlos so defensive over that boy? I just don’t get it.
The scene fades into the following day, the scene opens up a day after the yacht party, still in Malibu both London and Brandon are showing at a local Chipotle grabbing food, inside London is shown already sitting down at one of the tables and Brandon joins him carrying over food.
Brandon: Chile I am hungry, like real hungry.
London: Thanks for talking me into staying overnight here, I didn’t feel like riding back in the bus with all of them.
Brandon: I didn’t want to either, I’m surprised Yosef and Richie Rich still rode with them.
London: Where’s Dutchess?
Brandon: She has a booking tonight at one of the local clubs, I don’t know how she got it but I told her to make her money. I’m probably going to kick it here until the showcase is over and I guess we’re going to Uber it back to LA.
London: I’ll probably chill with y’all, there’s nothing in LA I need right now.
Brandon: All I know is Carlos is really tripping, I don’t get why he’s acting that way towards us, especially you.
London: Well Carlos and I never really were the best of friends, since the first time we met, we always had this like love hate relationship. I personally feel like they're hooking up and if that's the case then that’s their own business, but switching up on me all because you have a new boyfriend isn’t cool at all.
Brandon: Well his new boyfriend ain’t shit and right now I don’t think I like dude.
London: I’m breathing to much life into this dude, so just forget about it. Going forward I don’t need to be in the same space as this dude so if he’s being invited to parties then understand I won’t be in attendance.
Brandon: I mean i don’t blame you, but I don’t think it should be like that. I feel like we were all friends first so it shouldn’t affect us hanging out.
London: Well if Carlos wants to keep bringing trouble around then count me out, I’m not for it.
Brandon: I got your back London, so if anything pops off you already know I’m here for you, so If I have to step out of character to put someone in your place then I will.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
That’s one reason why I liked Brandon, because he is was loyal. Brandon and I weren’t the best of friends but we were friends, so the fact that I know he would have my back made me feel a little better, especially when it comes to all of us hanging out. Maybe I just needed to cool down and try again at a later time but as for right now, I didn’t want Levi in my space at all.
The scene cuts back to the two eating.
Brandon: Well I’m just focused on tonight, I’m not really worried about anything else. I’m sure once we get back to LA we’ll deal with it but as for right now let's just focus on Malibu and Dutchess’ showcase tonight.
London: Yeah you right, I’m only stressing myself out more worrying about this mess.
Brandon: But question and I don’t want you to get upset but I mean how does Anthony feel about all this? Does he even know that your beefing with Levi?
London: I mean he does, but he hasn’t really said anything to me about it. I guess he’s mad at the both of us but I’m trying to explain to him that it's not me, it's him.
Brandon: I think because he’s not here that’s probably why he’s mad at both parties, because he doesn’t know who to be mad at but I’m sure he knows how messy his friend is so I wouldn’t be to concerned about it.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
I felt bad for London, that's why I wanted to be in his corner because I knew how it felt to try and have someone ruin your relationship. Of course it takes two to cheat but once you cut ties that should be the end of it.
The scene cuts back to London and Brandon.
London: Enough of that drama, when we get back to LA though I was thinking of throwing a housewarming at my new condo.
Brandon: Sounds fun, you already know I'm there. Who else are you inviting?
London: That I haven't decided, I know I want you there and of course my sister and probably Richie Rich but I'm sure he's going to want to bring Yosef but I won't extend the invite if you don't want him there.
Brandon: I just can't escape that dude but it is what it is, I know that's Richie Rich bestie and we don't want him feeling uncomfortable.
Brandon rolls his eyes.
London: Just please be on your best behavior.
Brandon: I’ll try but what about Carlos?
London: I haven't decided yet but if he does come then I will personally let him know that Levi is not on the guest list.
Brandon: The shade, the shade.
London: It's my party and I'll invite whoever I want to.
The two laugh as it cuts to the next scene, the scene opens up inside of Noah’s condo, Noah is shown making his way around the house taking notes of things he wants to change, he makes his way towards the kitchen but is interrupted by a knock at the door. Noah rushes over to the door opening it and on the side stood Levi, Levi smiles making his way inside with a bottle of wine and the scene cuts to a confessional.
NOAH NAVARRO"
Hey everyone, my name is Noah Navarro, well actually my real name is Ricardo Noah Navarro but I prefer to go by my middle name because it's so many Ricardo’s in the world. I've come from some semi famous families, we own a couple restaurants throughout LA and own a few in NY but that's another story. I've lived in LA most of my life and never thought about going anywhere else, I mean after living in LA for so long why would you want to live anywhere else. Levi is a very good friend of mine, we actually met in college during a class we shared, after the first conversation we kind of hit it off. So when he told me what went down at the club and then on the yacht, I had to make sure he was okay especially since I was not there to experience any of the so called drama, so I invited him over just so he could catch me up to what was going on in these LA streets.
The scene cuts back to Noah’s condo, inside Noah is shown pouring both him and Levi a tall glass of the wine, the two walk over to the sitting area where they start drinking and chatting.
Levi: This house is nice as hell, this is the first I've been here.
Noah: I’m still not finished, but so far I'm digging it but Levi it's not a house it's a condo.
Levi: Same thing boy, it's a place you can call your own, it's a lot of people out here that don't have a pot to piss in.
Noah: That is true.
Levi: But I have to tell you what happened the other night.
Noah: This is why we have the wine, I’m ready for a good story.
Levi: I mean London and I basically got into again but this time it was a verbal spat. He told me to stay out of his business and a bunch of other nonsense but I kind of left my body during the conversation or at least that's what it felt like because it was so dry.
Noah: I can't with you tonight.
Levi: I’m so over the drama.
Noah: I mean to be honest Levi, you kind of started this whole mess. I understand we're friends and of course I'll always stand in your corner but I mean I can understand why London is upset. It doesn't matter if you and Anthony hooked up before, during, or after their relationship, it still doesn't make it right for you to comment or get involved.
Levi: That's my friend.
Noah: Yes your friend, not your boyfriend. If it doesn't work out then make your move!
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
I guess he was right, maybe I shouldn't be so involved in their breakup, hell when it happens and if the opportunity presents itself then maybe something could happen between Anthony and I.
The scene cuts back to Levi and Noah.
Noah: I do have to tell you something though, London DM’d me last night and invited me to his housewarming.
Levi: Petty!
Noah: I thought it was weird at first and I asked him was he only inviting me to make you upset but it sounded like a genuine invite.
Levi: Go, I don't care.
Noah: I just didn't want you to think I was being shady.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
NOAH NAVARRO"
I'm glad Levi wasn't upset over the invite, but to be honest even if he was it wouldn't matter. I'm allowed to be friends with whoever I want and since we all run in the same circles, there was nothing wrong with networking.
The scene cuts back to Levi and Noah.
Levi: Just don't go and make it a bash Levi party.
Noah: I think you should come.
Levi: You're crazy!
Noah: I am but I really think you should, why not break the ice, show up with a gift, give him a genuine apology and let's just turn the hell up. Why is that so hard?
Levi: Why do I have to apologize?
Noah: To be the bigger person and let petty little issues like this go, I rather you be there with me anyway and plus he’ll look at it like a peace offering, a good gesture.
Levi: I'll have to think about that one, I'll be in this man’s home so who knows what he could have stashed somewhere, a fist fight may turn into a blood battle.
Noah: Yeaaaaaa I don't think it's that deep.
Levi: Check that man history, he's lethal. But I'm crazy so put those two together and it's a whole big mess!
Noah: Just come, I swear it'll be fine.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
NOAH NAVARRO"
This was too much, and to be honest with me being new to the group, I was okay with being put in situations I don’t think I should be involved in, if Levi wants to have issues with the group then so be it but as for me, I’m staying far away from that mess.
The scene cuts back to Noah and Levi, the two continue chatting it up as the scene cuts to black.
BRANDON YOUNG"
It's a day before the yacht party and I wanted to meet up with London to make sure he was ok, I'm sure after the club incident he wasn't in the mood to be surrounded around people, especially the people who put him in that situation. I also invited my best friend and Drake’s cousin Dutchess to meet with us to, she just recently relocated to LA to pursue her music career so I wanted her to meet some people so she wouldn't feel alone.
The scene cuts back to the coffee shop, Dutchess is shown walking up to the table, she leans down and hugs Brandon before taking a seat.
Dutchess: This is so far out, I thought I was never going to get here especially with all the traffic.
Brandon: I fought the same traffic to but I live closer, anyway how you liking LA so far?
Dutchess: A lot better than NY, it's more to do and from what I'm seeing the people are a lot nicer and more mellow. I've been here a few months but I've been locked up in the studio so I haven't really got the chance to explore and let my wild side go bitch.
Dutchess laughs.
Brandon: Well I’m here now so all that is about to change, I have a friend who is meeting us here in a few minutes so I wanted to give you a heads up. He's cool though, he's gay and you may know his sister Brooklyn Carter.
Dutchess: Oh you talking about London, I've only met him once back at a party a mutual friend of ours threw. He's a sweet guy, I didn't even realize you knew him but then again so much has been on my mind I probably didn't remember.
Brandon: I just wanted to meet with him to make sure he was okay, we ran into a little incident at the club the other night and I just wanted to make sure he was good.
Dutchess: Oh boy drama? You sure know where to find that.
Brandon: Look it wasn't even involving me this go around so I'm happy.
Before Brandon could finish, London walks up wearing a givenchy jumpsuit with some marijuana socks and Versace low tops, he walks up to the table where Dutchess and Brandon were sitting and joins the two, he orders a coffee and a small ham and turkey sandwich with mayo from the waiter and the scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
Brandon asked me to join him for some coffee this morning, I guess he wanted to get all the tea he can to figure out why I flipped out the other night and that's fine I know he's probably concerned. I never had an issue with Brandon even when he first started coming around, I figured he was young and just wanted to have fun and nothing was wrong with that, a lot of people judged him but I didn't. I guess you could say we had a close friendship because his boyfriend and Anthony are close so we would all hang out sometimes but I wanted to see what he had on his mind.
The scene cuts back to the coffee shop.
London: Sorry I'm late, I ran into traffic on the way and it was a mess.
Brandon: You cool, Dutchess just got here a few minutes ago and I couldn't wait, I was hungry.
London: I can see, but anyway I think we've met before Dutchess, how have you been?
London leans over and gives Dutchess a hug.
Dutchess: Working like a hebrew slave baby, trying to make this money. I heard you've been running a ruckus here in the city, I wish I could have been apart of that.
London: I've been trying to keep it low key honestly, people been bringing me out of my comfort zone to be honest.
Dutchess: Tell me about it.
Brandon: Like what the heck happened?
London: I mean the boy is just disrespectful. He likes the fact that Anthony and I are in a bad place and last night I guess he felt macho and wanted to put his nose into my business.
Brandon: Oh he felt cunt.
London: He felt more than that, I don't care if you friends with my dude or not. Whatever is going on in our relationship shouldn't be a concern. I told myself coming back into this situation I wasn't going to allow anyone to take me out of character but last night I failed and I'm pissed.
Dutchess: That sucks man.
London: It's cool though, I won't let it happen again.
Brandon: So what did Carlos say about it?
London rolls his eyes as the scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
I really needed to talk to Carlos again and let him know I felt set up, I mean Carlos was my friend first and I’m not saying he can't be friends with him, all I'm saying is he could have given me a heads up or not allow us to even be alone in that whole setting.
The scene cut backs to the coffee shop.
Brandon: I know Carlos feels bad about the whole thing.
London: Well if Carlos wouldn't have invited him then I'm sure the night would have been different.
Dutchess: Aren't we all going to the same party though? So what's going to happen at the party? I mean you already know I got your back but at the same time I don't want any drama.
Dutchess pauses.
Dutchess: But then again who said we can't have fun and have a little drama to.
London: Well I'll be prepared for whatever I'm walking into, I don't care.
The three continue to talk as the scene cuts to Beverly Hills, the scene opens up with Levi and his friend Noah walking down the avenue, the two stop at a local sunglasses pop up shop and make their way inside, the scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
I needed to get out the house and do some shopping, nothing wrong with a little retail therapy and I wanted to be prepared for this little outing I was invited to tomorrow, so why not a perfect pair of shades for all the shade that will be thrown tomorrow.
Levi laughs.
LEVI BRYANT"
I invited my friend Noah to tag along because I needed some advice on how to handle this whole situation with London. I knew I was new to the group so I didn't want to be the one causing problems.
The scene cuts back to the sunglasses store, inside Levi and Noah are walking around checking out all the different styles and brands of shades.
Levi: Man I'm loving these black ones right here, but $650 that's a lot.
Noah: I mean chile look where we're at, you know finding anything under $100 in this shop and I doubt $100 will even get you a lense.
Levi: You stupid.
Noah: But tell me what happened the other night, I’m sorry I missed your call but that overnight shift is a killer.
Levi: Basically to make a long story short I ran into London, we had some words, he didn't like the words I had for him so he tried to fight me and keyword is try.
Noah: Chile the drama.
Levi: I mean it is what it is, if he want to throw hands we can do that. All I wanted to do was set boundaries between us because we knew the same man and I just wanted to clear up some issues that we had.
Noah: But what issues?
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
As the story thickens, London doesn't like me because he thinks Anthony and I messed around during the time they were together which is untrue. I've never played the role of side dude and I’ll never will, that's more of London's role.
The scene cuts back to inside the store.
Levi: Listen this all boils down to an insecurity issue, London cheated and now he can't handle the aftermath.
Noah: I never understood why the girls cheat but can't handle the consequences. Even if you two did mess around after the fact London shouldn't care because they aren't together.
Levi: Separated.
Noah: Chile they not sleeping in the same home so they're not together. So what's going to happen then next time you two run into each other?
Levi: I don't know what he's going to do but I’m going to keep my cool, I'm not here for the childish games, I feel like we should all be able to coexist and be in one room together as adults and be cordial. But trust my guard will always be up whenever I'm in a room with that man!
One of the sunglasses employees walks over to the boys, Levi picks up the black shades from earlier and hands them to the worker.
Levi: I guess I'll take these.
Levi pulls out a wad of cash and pays for the glasses, the two exit out of the shop and continue their stroll down the avenue as the scene cuts Lush nightclub where inside Carlos is shown in his office watching the security footage from last night, he shakes his head in disgust as he watches his friend London take a dive at Levi. The scene cuts to a confessional.
CARLOS TORREZ"
I was still in shock after what happened in my club last night, and I was a little more upset after my conversation with London in the hotel earlier. I understood why he was upset with whole invite but what I didn't like was my name being tossed around like I was just untrustworthy. London and I have history, I mean who remembers the infamous fight between us on that couch.
The scene cuts back to first seasons reunion when Carlos attacked London after only filming for a few minutes, the scene cuts back to Carlos and the confessional.
CARLOS TORREZ"
But since that fight I felt like we were good, we've hosted parties together and even hung out personally and the crazy thing is Levi has been around us on multiple occasions so I don't understand the issue now.
The scene cuts back to Carlos inside of his office at the club, a knock is heard on the door and Carlos presses the button on the monitor shutting the screen off, he walks over to the door and on the other side stood Brandon.
Brandon: Bitch what took you so long?
Carlos: Sorry I was watching the security footage from last night, anyway what's up? I didn't know you were stopping by.
Brandon: I know you didn't know because I didn't tell you, anyway I just wanted stop by and talk to you about this Yacht party tomorrow, I think you should uninvite Levi.
Carlos: And why do you think I should do that?
Brandon: Because I don't want London our friend to be uncomfortable, I mean do you want another repeat of yesterday? London is still pissed about the situation and I don't think all of us on a boat is smart.
Carlos: So maybe we should uninvite London then, I mean he is the problem.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
CARLOS TORREZ"
I can't believe the audacity of this dude, like you want me to uninvite my friend because London can't act like an adult.
The scene cuts back to Carlos club.
Carlos: I spoke with London earlier and he said he was still coming to the party.
Brandon: Well I mean of course he's going to show, that would be dumb if he didn't. But I just wanted us to have a good time and not deal with the petty bullshit and let's not forget that Levi approached him and started this whole mess, London was chill the whole night so maybe your mad at the wrong person.
Carlos: If you and Yosef could sit in the same room along with Richie Rich then I'm sure London can handle one person.
Brandon: Different situation and scenario.
Carlos: It all boils down to infidelity so who cares, I'm not uninviting anyone so that's that. I have some work to do so I guess I'll see you tomorrow.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
Carlos was trippin, but that's fine, I wasn't going to let his little sassy ass attitude take me out of character.
Brandon shakes his head and makes his way back out the door, the scene fades to a art studio located downtown LA, inside Yosef is shown looking at some photographs and admiring some of the work inside, he turns and looks out the huge window and notices Richie Rich handing his keys to the valet, Richie Rich smiles and makes his way inside the gallery meeting with Yosef.
Richie: Sorry I’m late, I had a few things to do before coming here.
Yosef: It’s cool, I was just enjoying these paintings, I swear art is fascinating, if only I could have my work showcased in here.
Richie: I mean you never know, it may happen.
Yosef: Nah, this modeling career doesn’t give me the time I need to actually focus and make good art. I could quit modeling but if I quit that then the money will stop coming in and lord knows we need coins to survive.
Richie: Amen!
Yosef: But anyway, the other night was crazy man. I don’t know the whole situation and what happened but I feel bad for everyone involved.
Richie: I mean you shouldn’t, I won’t comment to much about it because it’s none of my business but I’m just happy the drama was with me.
Yosef: I just knew Brandon was going to start something with us.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
YOSEF MARLEY"
I’m surprised Brandon didn’t cause a scene, it’s been months since we’ve all been in the same room and I just knew he was going to have some words for me. Maybe he is finally over me!
The scene cuts back to the art gallery.
Richie: That’s so old news, it would be pointless for him to start any drama with us because we squashed that mess last year.
Yosef: That is true but some people be in their feelings, maybe we didn’t get enough time for something to pop off because of that mess with London and that boy Levi.
Richie: I’ve never seen that boy ever, or at least spoke to him. I know we all model and sometimes wind up at the same events and fashion shows but I mean for him to be thrown into our group and starting drama already, that’s not cool.
Yosef: Trying to make a name for himself I guess, he is around all established men so I can see why he acted that way, but look I’m not for the drama so let them duke it out if they want, just leave me out of that mess.
Richie: Well I don’t get why he’s the topic of conversation, I mean we do have our own lives.
Yosef: Anyway I need to find something for this Yacht party, I heard it's going to be a lot of people there so I need to make sure I look better then the most.
Yosef laughs as the scene fades to a confessional.
YOSEF MARLEY"
To be honest I was only concerned about going to turn up and have fun, I’m not really interested in anyone else's drama or problems.
The scene cuts back to the art gallery, Yosef and Richie Rich are still inside enjoying the art and mingling with some of the other guests as the scene cuts to another location.
THE NEXT DAY.
The scene opens up in Malibu, CA. The beach is shown along with a pier and a Yacht attached, on the outside Carlos is shown standing with Levi, the two stand near the entrance waiting for others to arrive, the scene cuts to a confessional.
CARLOS TORREZ"
Today is the day of the Yacht Party and I’m already feeling a little buzzed, I had a few a drinks on the way to the boat because I needed to be prepared for what could possibly go down today. My friend Levi decided to ride in with me and at first I was against the whole idea but I decided to just let it go, I mean if anyone had a problem with it then they can come see me.
The scene cuts back to the loading area.
Carlos: Where the hell is everyone?
Levi: You know we on CP time.
Carlos: Well these fools need to come on, I’m ready to party.
After waiting for a few moments, the rest of the group start to pile in, London pulls up in a black Tahoe, he hops out of the backseat and notices Carlos and Levi standing together, he shakes his head as he walks over to the other side waiting for Brandon and Dutchess to get out, the two join London and they all make their way over to where Carlos and Levi are standing. The scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
I could only laugh to myself when I walked up and saw Carlos and Levi standing outside together, part of me didn’t care but the other part of me felt like I shouldn’t mess with Carlos anymore, I can surely see where his head's at.
London pauses.
LONDON CARTER"
But oh well, I won’t let these two bums spoil my fun.
The scene cuts back to the dock area, Brandon, London, and Dutchess all make it to where Carlos and Levi we’re standing. All spoke to each other except for London and Levi, London looks up at the Yacht and grabs his items making his way up the long walkway heading onto the boat while Brandon and Dutchess follow behind.
Levi: So immature.
Levi rolls his eyes and follows behind Carlos who is making his way onto the boat also, a few more minutes go by and another car pulls up with both Richie Rich and Yosef inside, the two hop out and make their way onto the Yacht joining the rest of group on there. Yosef and Richie Rich make their way towards the main area where most of the group is standing.
Yosef: I need a drink already.
Richie: Who you telling?
Yosef turns and pours himself a drink, making Richie Rich one to. Brandon walks over to Yosef extending his hand out for a drink also.
Yosef: Oh you want ME to make you a drink?
Yosef smiles.
Brandon: Boy stop playing and pour me a drink, please.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
Awkward! But oh well, we were going to have to talk eventually, so why not break the ice by asking for a drink.
The scene cuts back to the boat with Yosef and Brandon standing alone, Richie Rich walked off to the side to hang with London while Carlos and Levi are shown on the other end of the boat mingling with some of the other guests and dancing to the music.
Yosef: I made you an extra strong one, just for you.
Brandon: Someone trying to get lucky tonight.
Yosef: With who? You?
Brandon: It was a joke.
Yosef: You already know where those jokes will lead you, keep it cute.
Brandon: Well I just wanted to break the ice, I know we haven’t really spoken to each other since that huge blowup between you know me, you and my boyfriend but I just wanted you to know I had no hard feelings and that I wanted to fix our friendship, that is if it is fixable.
Yosef pauses for a second, he takes a sip of his drink before responding.
Yosef: Our relationship has always been fixable and all the extra crap could have been avoided if you would have just been honest with me.
Brandon: But I was honest, it's just that the relationship I was in was kind of an on and off type thing I didn't expect for me and Drake to get back together but I do apologize for how things turned out.
Yosef: Well it's a new year and I'm staying away from all drama including you, I'm sure he doesn't know we're around each other because if he did you wouldn't be standing here talking to me at the moment.
Brandon: Oh really?
Yosef: Let's be serious Brandon.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
I think I was being serious, no I know I was being serious. Don’t get me wrong a long time ago I did have feelings for Yosef, Drake and I were going through a rough patch and we were separated at the time, and I’m sure Drake was out doing him so why couldn’t I?
The scene cuts back to Brandon and Yosef.
Yosef: Look it doesn’t matter now, I’ve moved on and you're still dating that lame so it is what is, let's just enjoy the time now and not focus on what happened in the past.
Brandon: You right.
The two smile as they continue sipping on their drinks, the scene cuts over to London who is sitting on the opposite side. He places his earphones on his head but before he could play his first song, Levi walks up tapping him on the shoulder. London removes the earphones away from his ear and jumps up to his feet meeting Levi face to face and the scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
What the hell does this boy want?
The scene cuts back to London and Levi.
Levi: Look I wanted to be the better man and apologize for what happened at the club the other night, it was never my intention to upset you or making you feel a certain way. I just felt like I needed to say something because I am friends with Anthony and I just didn’t want to make our outings awkward or uncomfortable.
London: But why would you think they would be uncomfortable? You are friends with my man, you’re not sleeping with him so it wouldn’t matter.
Levi: London, you already know the type of relationship Anthony and I have so I don’t know why you would think any differently.
London: Look, you were just a side piece at the time, Anthony had no real intention into making you into anything and I think that's what bothers you. You thought that what happened with Anthony and I was going to tear us apart but instead it's only made us stronger.
Levi: Stronger how? You two barely speak these days and still married.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
Now this prick was being disrespectful, this is exactly why I can’t be around him.
The scene cuts back to Levi and London.
London: Look I’ve only been on this boat for ten minutes and I didn’t think that the drama would start so fast, I don’t care what you and Anthony have nor do I wanna know. But understand this if I wanted that man then I can have him whether you were in the picture or not.
Levi: Well I just wanted to walk over and apologize, I wanted us to all to have fun today without the drama and the tension in the room is so thick.
London: Levi we cool, we’re not friends and we probably never will be and I don’t have an issue with sitting in the same room with you, I’m grown so I can handle that. What I don’t like is the constant disrespect coming from you regarding my relationship.
Before Levi could respond, Carlos rushes up to the two.
Carlos: Is everything ok?
London: Peachy.
London rolls his eyes and walks away from Carlos and Levi leaving the two standing there, he walks over to where Brandon and Yosef are standing interrupting the two.
London: Yo tell Levi to stay out of my way, like I’m serious, if he keeps trying to talk to me I will end up knocking his teeth right out of his mouth.
Yosef: Damn, it’s that bad?
London: If you only knew the half of it.
Carlos walks over to where Brandon, London and Yosef are standing and grabs ahold of London’s arm pulling him away from other two boys.
Carlos: We need to talk.
London snatches his arm away.
London: Ok we can talk, but I don’t need you grabbing my arm like you my dude or something, so what's up Carlos?
Carlos: Look I don’t get why you and Levi can’t get along, like he came over to apologize to you bro and you’re acting like a bitch.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
A Bitch? Oh yeah he trippin.
The scene cuts back to London and Carlos.
London: Look I suggest you stop speaking to me before you say something your going to regret, we already had issues in the past Carlos and I’m sure you don’t wanna go back to that. I’m trying my hardest not to be upset with you and let this whole situation go but if you're going to keep pushing it on me then it’s going to be a problem.
Carlos: I mean if that’s how you feel, I just don’t want to be involved in this foolishness.
London: Then let it go, you're the only one trying to make us be friends, I don’t like dude so leave it at that and stop trying to force me to have conversations with him, better yet stop inviting me or him to these little events and we wouldn’t have any issues.
Carlos: You're so immature London.
London: And your a fake ass friend.
Carlos: Yeah, chill out bruh.
Carlos steps closer to London, close enough to where their lips almost touched, London pushes Carlos back, Carlos tries to run up but Brandon steps in between the two.
Brandon: Yeah this won’t be going down today, y’all chill the hell out.
Carlos: Move out my way Brandon because London feeling himself right now.
London: Man whatever.
London rolls his eyes, turning the other direction and making his way down to the second level of the Yacht, he reaches the bottom part and leans against the railing staring out into the ocean, a tear starts to form in London’s eyes but he quickly wipes it away hoping no one would see it. Dutchess who was already down on the second level walks over to London wrapping her arms around his waist and hugging him from the back.
Dutchess: Whatever is wrong with you babe, don’t let it bother you. People will only try to get under your skin only if you let them so don’t let it bother you.
London: Girl I know, but it’s not even them getting under my skin I’m worried about, I just have a lot going on in my personal life and I just don’t have time to deal with all the extra drama to be honest. I really feel like my relationship is going nowhere and I don’t know what to do about it, I really messed up.
Dutchess: But who doesn’t? I don’t know Anthony personally but I’ve met him a few times during our sessions with Drake and he always seem like a sweet guy, every time i was around him he would always say good things about you so I don’t see why the relationship is still struggling. I mean things happen and people cheat, it's about moving on and not repeating the same mistakes, but if you guys are constantly living in the past then things will never change.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
I mean she was right, even though I already knew this stuff, it felt good to hear it from someone else. I was happy that Dutchess rushed to my side to make sure I was ok, I didn’t know her that well but it didn’t bother me to hear honesty from someone who I knew wasn’t being shady or ignorant.
The scene cuts back to Dutchess and London.
Dutchess: Once we reach our destination if you want, we can blow this whack party and go somewhere else.
London: I’m down for that, I need a drink forreal.
The two continue talking as the scene cuts back upstairs with Levi and Carlos standing near the captain, the two laugh as they take shots together.
Carlos: I don’t know what London’s issue is but I’m over it, I tried to calm his ass down but once he started jumping at me then I have a problem with that.
Levi: Well it was never my intention to cause issues between you two, but London’s immature and I definitely don’t want drama in my space.
The two continu talking as Brandon makes his way up to them, Brandon stands there for a second listening to the two talk and shakes his head in disgust.
Brandon: I can’t believe y’all two still sitting over here talking trash and London not even around, and I’m shocked that you feeding into this crap Carlos, your friend downstairs is hurt and all you can do is sit upstairs with this catty queen and cause more drama.
Carlos: What are you talking about Brandon?
Brandon: You're fake bruh, that’s what I’m talking about.
Levi: How is he fake? Because he’s friends with me?
Brandon: I don’t think I was talking to you sir, this conversation is between Carlos and I, let's not forget you're new to this little group so your words don’t mean shit right now.
Carlos: Yo Bran chill, that’s not cool.
Brandon: And it’s not cool that little Miss Thing over here hasn’t been in the group a week and she already causing issues between everyone, that should tell you something.
Carlos: But didn’t the same thing happen with you when you first started coming around?
Brandon: You know what Carlos, y’all must be hooking up something because I find it funny that you can point out all our issues and flaws but ignoring his, so I’ll see my way out of this conversation because I feel like if I stick around I’ll end up fighting and I’m not talking about one person.
Before Carlos could respond, Brandon knocks the drink out of Carlos hand forcing it to the floor, Carlos balls his fist up but Levi grabs a hold of Carlos hands forcing them back down to his side.
Levi: It’s not even worth it.
Both Levi and Carlos stand there shaking their head in disgust as they watch Brandon walk away heading down the stairwell to the second level where both Dutchess and London are still standing and the scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
Yeah both them dudes trippin and I swear they have to hooking up, why is Carlos so defensive over that boy? I just don’t get it.
The scene fades into the following day, the scene opens up a day after the yacht party, still in Malibu both London and Brandon are showing at a local Chipotle grabbing food, inside London is shown already sitting down at one of the tables and Brandon joins him carrying over food.
Brandon: Chile I am hungry, like real hungry.
London: Thanks for talking me into staying overnight here, I didn’t feel like riding back in the bus with all of them.
Brandon: I didn’t want to either, I’m surprised Yosef and Richie Rich still rode with them.
London: Where’s Dutchess?
Brandon: She has a booking tonight at one of the local clubs, I don’t know how she got it but I told her to make her money. I’m probably going to kick it here until the showcase is over and I guess we’re going to Uber it back to LA.
London: I’ll probably chill with y’all, there’s nothing in LA I need right now.
Brandon: All I know is Carlos is really tripping, I don’t get why he’s acting that way towards us, especially you.
London: Well Carlos and I never really were the best of friends, since the first time we met, we always had this like love hate relationship. I personally feel like they're hooking up and if that's the case then that’s their own business, but switching up on me all because you have a new boyfriend isn’t cool at all.
Brandon: Well his new boyfriend ain’t shit and right now I don’t think I like dude.
London: I’m breathing to much life into this dude, so just forget about it. Going forward I don’t need to be in the same space as this dude so if he’s being invited to parties then understand I won’t be in attendance.
Brandon: I mean i don’t blame you, but I don’t think it should be like that. I feel like we were all friends first so it shouldn’t affect us hanging out.
London: Well if Carlos wants to keep bringing trouble around then count me out, I’m not for it.
Brandon: I got your back London, so if anything pops off you already know I’m here for you, so If I have to step out of character to put someone in your place then I will.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
That’s one reason why I liked Brandon, because he is was loyal. Brandon and I weren’t the best of friends but we were friends, so the fact that I know he would have my back made me feel a little better, especially when it comes to all of us hanging out. Maybe I just needed to cool down and try again at a later time but as for right now, I didn’t want Levi in my space at all.
The scene cuts back to the two eating.
Brandon: Well I’m just focused on tonight, I’m not really worried about anything else. I’m sure once we get back to LA we’ll deal with it but as for right now let's just focus on Malibu and Dutchess’ showcase tonight.
London: Yeah you right, I’m only stressing myself out more worrying about this mess.
Brandon: But question and I don’t want you to get upset but I mean how does Anthony feel about all this? Does he even know that your beefing with Levi?
London: I mean he does, but he hasn’t really said anything to me about it. I guess he’s mad at the both of us but I’m trying to explain to him that it's not me, it's him.
Brandon: I think because he’s not here that’s probably why he’s mad at both parties, because he doesn’t know who to be mad at but I’m sure he knows how messy his friend is so I wouldn’t be to concerned about it.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
I felt bad for London, that's why I wanted to be in his corner because I knew how it felt to try and have someone ruin your relationship. Of course it takes two to cheat but once you cut ties that should be the end of it.
The scene cuts back to London and Brandon.
London: Enough of that drama, when we get back to LA though I was thinking of throwing a housewarming at my new condo.
Brandon: Sounds fun, you already know I'm there. Who else are you inviting?
London: That I haven't decided, I know I want you there and of course my sister and probably Richie Rich but I'm sure he's going to want to bring Yosef but I won't extend the invite if you don't want him there.
Brandon: I just can't escape that dude but it is what it is, I know that's Richie Rich bestie and we don't want him feeling uncomfortable.
Brandon rolls his eyes.
London: Just please be on your best behavior.
Brandon: I’ll try but what about Carlos?
London: I haven't decided yet but if he does come then I will personally let him know that Levi is not on the guest list.
Brandon: The shade, the shade.
London: It's my party and I'll invite whoever I want to.
The two laugh as it cuts to the next scene, the scene opens up inside of Noah’s condo, Noah is shown making his way around the house taking notes of things he wants to change, he makes his way towards the kitchen but is interrupted by a knock at the door. Noah rushes over to the door opening it and on the side stood Levi, Levi smiles making his way inside with a bottle of wine and the scene cuts to a confessional.
NOAH NAVARRO"
Hey everyone, my name is Noah Navarro, well actually my real name is Ricardo Noah Navarro but I prefer to go by my middle name because it's so many Ricardo’s in the world. I've come from some semi famous families, we own a couple restaurants throughout LA and own a few in NY but that's another story. I've lived in LA most of my life and never thought about going anywhere else, I mean after living in LA for so long why would you want to live anywhere else. Levi is a very good friend of mine, we actually met in college during a class we shared, after the first conversation we kind of hit it off. So when he told me what went down at the club and then on the yacht, I had to make sure he was okay especially since I was not there to experience any of the so called drama, so I invited him over just so he could catch me up to what was going on in these LA streets.
The scene cuts back to Noah’s condo, inside Noah is shown pouring both him and Levi a tall glass of the wine, the two walk over to the sitting area where they start drinking and chatting.
Levi: This house is nice as hell, this is the first I've been here.
Noah: I’m still not finished, but so far I'm digging it but Levi it's not a house it's a condo.
Levi: Same thing boy, it's a place you can call your own, it's a lot of people out here that don't have a pot to piss in.
Noah: That is true.
Levi: But I have to tell you what happened the other night.
Noah: This is why we have the wine, I’m ready for a good story.
Levi: I mean London and I basically got into again but this time it was a verbal spat. He told me to stay out of his business and a bunch of other nonsense but I kind of left my body during the conversation or at least that's what it felt like because it was so dry.
Noah: I can't with you tonight.
Levi: I’m so over the drama.
Noah: I mean to be honest Levi, you kind of started this whole mess. I understand we're friends and of course I'll always stand in your corner but I mean I can understand why London is upset. It doesn't matter if you and Anthony hooked up before, during, or after their relationship, it still doesn't make it right for you to comment or get involved.
Levi: That's my friend.
Noah: Yes your friend, not your boyfriend. If it doesn't work out then make your move!
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
I guess he was right, maybe I shouldn't be so involved in their breakup, hell when it happens and if the opportunity presents itself then maybe something could happen between Anthony and I.
The scene cuts back to Levi and Noah.
Noah: I do have to tell you something though, London DM’d me last night and invited me to his housewarming.
Levi: Petty!
Noah: I thought it was weird at first and I asked him was he only inviting me to make you upset but it sounded like a genuine invite.
Levi: Go, I don't care.
Noah: I just didn't want you to think I was being shady.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
NOAH NAVARRO"
I'm glad Levi wasn't upset over the invite, but to be honest even if he was it wouldn't matter. I'm allowed to be friends with whoever I want and since we all run in the same circles, there was nothing wrong with networking.
The scene cuts back to Levi and Noah.
Levi: Just don't go and make it a bash Levi party.
Noah: I think you should come.
Levi: You're crazy!
Noah: I am but I really think you should, why not break the ice, show up with a gift, give him a genuine apology and let's just turn the hell up. Why is that so hard?
Levi: Why do I have to apologize?
Noah: To be the bigger person and let petty little issues like this go, I rather you be there with me anyway and plus he’ll look at it like a peace offering, a good gesture.
Levi: I'll have to think about that one, I'll be in this man’s home so who knows what he could have stashed somewhere, a fist fight may turn into a blood battle.
Noah: Yeaaaaaa I don't think it's that deep.
Levi: Check that man history, he's lethal. But I'm crazy so put those two together and it's a whole big mess!
Noah: Just come, I swear it'll be fine.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
NOAH NAVARRO"
This was too much, and to be honest with me being new to the group, I was okay with being put in situations I don’t think I should be involved in, if Levi wants to have issues with the group then so be it but as for me, I’m staying far away from that mess.
The scene cuts back to Noah and Levi, the two continue chatting it up as the scene cuts to black.
