The scene opens up with London and Brandon making their way to the table where Carlos and Levi was sitting, London sits down without acknowledging the two while Brandon shares his hello’s and the scene cuts to a confessional.
CARLOS TORREZ"
Figures London would walk in acting like a spoiled little brat, a diva.
The scene cuts back to the table.
Carlos Torrez: Are you two ordering something? Because we waited.
London laughs.
London Carter: You already know it's not that type of lunch, no one was expecting to sit down and share old stories, let's get to the punch so I can get the hell out of here.
Levi shakes his head.
Levi Bryant: It’s so much negativity at this table.
London Carter: Then maybe you should leave.
Levi Bryant: I can leave because at this point you or your pointless relationship means nothing to me.
Brandon interrupts.
Brandon Young: Uh let's not bring relationships in this right now, because I can already see this getting out of hand.
Carlos Torrez: I just want us all to get along, I mean we all run in the same circle.
London Carter: That's where you're wrong, he just started running in this little “circle” that lets not forget I brought together. This Queen sitting on the other side of the table has brought nothing but drama to my life and i really don’t want to share the same air as her.
Levi Bryant: Now you're being disrespectful.
London tosses his hand up.
London Carter: Chile please.
Carlos Torrez: Be respectful London.
London Carter: Carlos I suggest you keep your mouth shut because you're already walking on thin ice with me. I’ve asked you not to bring this punk around me but yet he keeps showing up at all these events.
Carlos Torrez: He’s a friend of mine.
Brandon Young: Ok look, I need to jump in because we’re obviously running around in circles. It’s obvious that London does not want anything to do with Levi, so we get that. So how about we just end it here and never revisit this conversation again. Levi stop interfering in London’s relationship and London leave Levi’s name out of your mouth, it's as simple as that.
Levi Bryant: Well tell his man to stop contacting me and I wouldn’t have to interfere.
London Carter: Like see that’s enough.
London launches his body across the table tackling Levi to the ground, the two began exchanging blows while Carlos and Brandon stand from a distance watching the two go at it, security runs up on the two trying to separate them but London turns swinging at one of the security guards knocking him to the floor.
London Carter: STOP FUCKING WITH ME YO.
London leaps back on Levi who was trying to get to his feet, London starts swinging away again, he connects with a few hits before security pulls him off of Levi again, trying to hold London back, Levi jumps up sneak attacking London knocking him in his head with his fist.
Levi Bryant: You a pussy bitch.
Levi charges at London again but Brandon steps in the way pushing Levi back towards the other direction.
Brandon Young: Chill bruh!
Levi Bryant: I suggest you stay out of it Brandon, I don’t want to have to fuck you up out here to.
Brandon rolls his eyes.
Brandon Young: That’ll never happen, yo security get that nigga, he trippin.
Security pulls Levi off to the side, Carlos stands by Levi side watching Brandon and London being forced in the opposite direction. The scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
London is fucking trippin, this is not the first time he has attacked me and it probably won’t be the last, the next time I run into that bitch it’s no words, I’m fighting on sight.
The scene cuts back to London and Brandon who are standing in the parking lot, still surrounded by security, London starts pacing back and forth.
London Carter: I came here to shut that nigga up and that's exactly what I did, I don’t understand why these little boys try and fuck with me, it will never work.
Brandon Young: He’s bold.
London Carter: And a idiot.
Brandon Young: I think you need to talk to Anthony to London, I mean Levi is doing way too much just for them two to be friends so maybe Anthony is telling him something different.
London Carter: Oh I will definitely have a talk with Anthony when I get back to the house because this is ridiculous. I never had to deal with this shit, even when I first came out.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
I told myself I wasn’t going to come to this little sit down and turn up, but I can’t stand someone with a disrespectful attitude and mouth. He got what he deserves and trust if he wants to go another round then I’m all for it. But Brandon was right, I need to talk to Anthony because it makes me think its must be something more to this whole situation because Levi is going way to hard.
The scene cuts to the following day, the scene opens up with Brandon and his best friend Braelyn Monroe, the two are shown inside Brandon’s hotel room, Brandon is reading through some old text messages while Braelyn is in the small kitchenette whipping up a drink, the scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
Things have been mad crazy these last few days, with all the drama going on in London’s life, I kind of took a break from what was happening in mines. A few days ago I found out that Drake is once again expecting another child but this time it’s not with his baby mother, but with one of his artist.
Brandon sighs.
BRANDON YOUNG"
I don’t know too much about this girl, all I know is she use to be a wrestler and now she is singing for a living. I really don’t know how to feel or what to feel because it seems like that this little friendship between the two is becoming more than what it is and I don’t like that.
The scene cuts back to Brandon and Braelyn.
Braelyn Monroe: I can’t believe he didn’t tell you.
Brandon Young: I mean why would he tell me, the man has been living a secret life since we been together, I just don’t know what to do anymore.
Braelyn Monroe: I know you love him, but it's about respect. It would be different if you two sat down and talked about this or planned this, but you didn’t.
Brandon Young:It’s nothing really to talk about, I already know that he is going to tell a lie.
Braelyn Monroe: Yo that girl is like a huge star, I mean she’s had albums, been in movies, posed for magazines and wrestled. So I can see why he sparked interests in her but he still should have been upfront with you.
Brandon Young: My instinct is telling me I should leave him, I just can’t do it anymore and then he didn’t even tell me, I had to find out through social media and the TV show, now that's fucking embarrassing.
Braelyn Monroe: I’m here for you Brandon, you can’t let it get to you too much.
Brandon Young: It’s too late, It’s already gotten to me.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
I told Drake to meet me at my house later, even though he’s in NY and I’m in LA, this was important so I hope he got on that plane and is on his way here.
THe scene cuts back to Brandon and Braelyn.
Braelyn Monroe: I’m here now so take your mind off all that drama, it’s been awhile since we hung out and actually turned up and I don’t want this to be like a sad weekend, I want to have fun.
Brandon Young: I’ll never let him stop my fun, that’s not the case. I just want to figure out my next move, I’m actually proud of myself because usually I would be causing hell right now, but I’m trying this whole “mature” thing and I can’t let him bring me down anymore.
Braelyn Monroe: That’s what I want to hear.
The two continue to talk as the scene fades and cuts to another location, the scene opens up at Levi’s home, inside Levi is shown walking back and forth throughout the house, still mad from the lunch earlier, he picks his phone off the table and answers the call that was coming through.
Levi Bryant: Are you here?
The person on the other end responds with a “Yes” and Levi makes his way to the front door, he opens it and standing on the other side is Anthony King. Anthony makes his way into the house as the scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
I invited Anthony over because I needed to talk to him about his crazy ass boyfriend, someone needs to calm London down and the only person I know could calm his ass down was Anthony.
The scene cuts back to Levi’s house, Levi and Anthony are shown standing in the middle of the living room, Anthony takes a seat on the sofa while Levi stands.
Levi Bryant: So I guess you heard that I was attacked again by your ex fiance or boyfriend, whatever you two are calling yourself.
Anthony King: Don’t be ignorant.
Levi Bryant: Look you need to check London before I do, because if I get real mad, it won’t be pretty for him.
Anthony King: He doesn’t take well to threats and neither do I, but what did you do to piss him off?
Levi Bryant: I tried to have a mature conversation with that man, but I realized he’s not capable to handle a real conversations, he's a clown and if I see him in the club it's over.
Anthony King: Look I came over here to squash this bullshit, we’re friends and that’s what it is, you got me at a vulnerable moment and I shouldn’t have entertain that whole situation. All I want is to have a healthy relationship with my dude and have a genuine friendship with you, we’ve been boys since before high school and I’m not trying to have this friendship end over something stupid.
Levi Bryant: Well it's too late now, London has attacked me more than once so I know that if we continue a friendship it will only cause more problems and I don’t need that in my life.
Anthony King: And I already know you're trying to play victim here and it's not going to work, I’m going to talk with London but you just need to back up. I’m tired of hearing about this drama man, y’all already know I’m not into no shit like this and I’m being dragged in it because y’all need something to feed off of, leave it alone or I’m really going to get involved and if I get involved you definitely won’t like the outcome, so you can take that as a threat if you want.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
I didn’t understand why Anthony was the one so upset when it was his boyfriend that attacked me, I valued our friendship but I valued my respect more.
The scene fades and cuts to Yosef, Yosef is shown leaving out of the gym, carrying a duffle bag in hand he walks over to his car parked on the other side of the street. Before he could jump in, Brandon is shown rushing up to Yosef car.
Yosef Marley: Yo, don’t be runnin up on me like that, you already know I stay strapped with my dagger.
Yosef laughs.
Brandon Young: I was in the neighborhood and I was trolling on IG and saw you at the gym, I was going to call but I figured popping up would be better.
Yosef Marley: So what’s up?
Brandon Young: You think we could go somewhere and talk?
Yosef Marley: I just finished my workout, I was going to grab a salad at this place down the street and head home but I guess we could eat there if you want.
Brandon Young: That’s cool with me, I can just ride with you and you cold bring me back to my car after.
Yosef nods as the two both jump in the car, the scene fades to a confessional.
YOSEF MARLEY"
It didn’t surprise me that Brandon popped up, after the news of his boyfriends infidelity, I figured he would be back in my arms in no time. But I wasn’t having it, I was smart enough to know i shouldn’t believe a word that comes out of Brandon’s mouth, he was a liar and whenever his boyfriend isn’t showing him attention, he ends up in my arms for it.
The scene cuts back to Yosef and Brandon, the two make it to the salad place, inside they order their food and the two take a seat at one of the empty tables.
Yosef Marley: So what’s up?
Brandon Young: Nothing, just happy I finally have a day off.
Yosef Marley: I’m surprised you're not out relaxing with your man somewhere.
Brandon sighs.
Brandon Young: You already know we’re not seeing eye to eye right now, so I don’t know why you would even bring that up.
Yosef Marley: I wasn’t being shady about it, if I had a dude and I was off of work, I would be somewhere laid up with him enjoying that time, that’s all.
Brandon Young: Well that’s not happening.
Yosef Marley: So you're here with me, but for what?
Brandon Young: Because I wanted to hang out with you, other you, Braelyn, and London I really don’t know other people here in LA, so London’s busy with his man and Braelyn is in on her way back to Vegas.
Yosef Marley: I just find it funny that when you have issues with that dude, you come running to me.
Brandon Young: That’s not true, I figured we had a real friendship.
Yosef Marley: Since our last altercation, we haven’t talked. If it wasn’t for this, we probably wouldn’t be having a conversation.
Brandon starts to talk but Yosef stops him.
Yosef Marley: So i guess when you two are back on good terms, you won’t be around anymore.
Brandon Young: That’s not true.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
I can see why Yosef was angry, I mean he was half right. I had true feelings for Yosef and he knew it but I was in love with Drake, I love Drake. I never knew what to do when it came to those two, it was like a love triangle and Yosef was right, I only ran to him when Drake and I were having problems and I know I shouldn’t do that. But something in the back of my mind always told me that I should give it a try with Yosef, maybe he would treat me better then the man I’m with now.
The scene cuts back to Yosef and Brandon.
Brandon Young: I’m sorry for everything I put you through, it was never intentional. I was a confused boy that was in love with two different people.
Yosef Marley: And you're still confused, I’m not putting myself back in a difficult situation like before, I don’t think we can even be friends yo.
Brandon Young: Why?
Yosef Marley: Because being friends will only cause issues with you and Drake and to be honest I’m good without the drama. I probably should get you back to your car so I can go, because I can’t with you right now yo.
Yosef grabs his things and makes his way towards the door, Brandon sits there for a second with a sad look on his face but he grabs his things also and walks out the door as the scene fades and opens back up with Richie Rich, Richie Rich is shown making his way into his parents home, Richie Rich walks inside and heads into the kitchen where he see’s his mother standing there by the window, tears in her eyes, his mother takes a sip of the drink she was holding and the scene cuts to a confessional.
RICHIE RICH"
It’s been awhile since I’ve been home, but ever since my parents decided to get a divorce, I needed to be around more often especially for my mother. I really don’t open up to much regarding my family because I try to keep that private. But everyone sees the life I live and they automatically think everything is perfect but it’s not.
The scene cuts back to Richie Rich and his mother Veronica.
Richie Rich: What’s wrong?
Veronica grabs a tissue, wipes the tears from her eyes, she turns and looks at Richie Rich trying to force a smile on her face.
Richie Rich: Ma, tell me.
Veronica Richie: I’m just sad son, I never thought I would be going through this, especially with your father. I stayed with him thinking he would change and he will never change.
Richie Rich: Where is Dad?
Veronica Richie: He’s probably off with his new whore somewhere.
Richie Rich: What happened? I thought you guys were doing counseling.
Veronica Richie: He stopped showing, but it doesn’t matter. I want this divorce to finalize so I can take the money he owes me and move somewhere far away.
Richie Rich: Well you can’t move far away because I need you to be close to me, but I can’t believe Dad is doing this though.
Veronica Richie: I went through his phone the other day and he has this girl sending him nude photos, he’s paying for hotel stays and even bought her a $3,000 purse. The last time he bought me an item that expensive was our 3rd anniversary.
Richie Rich: I’m sorry Mom.
Veronica Richie: It is what it is, he got caught, and I won’t allow him to bring me down. He’s out here messing with these young girls but he doesn’t realize they only want him for his money, once that’s gone they’ll leave him hanging high and dry.
Richie Rich: I should talk to him.
Veronica Richie: That is if you can get in contact with him, I heard he switched his number after the lawyer presented him with the divorce papers.
Richie Rich: I didn’t think you were serious, I knew you guys were having issues but I figured the amount of time you two have been together would have kept you together.
Veronica Richie: I’ve washed my hands with this whole mess, I’ve already put down for a new place out Santa Monica and I’ve furnished the place, once the divorce is finalized and we sell this property I can move on and start my life over.
Richie Rich: Well just know I’m always on your side, I hate this is happening to you.
Veronica Richie: And the way your father use to talk about you, he loved you but he hated the fact that you are gay, he hates how you live your lifestyle and everyday I would have to hear him complain about it.
Richie Rich shakes his head and the scene cuts to a confessional.
RICHIE RICH"
My father never liked the fact I was gay, he tolerated it but every chance he could get, he would always put me down. It never bothered me though, I always worked hard and lived my life the way I wanted to. My mom always stood by my side and my sisters to, so I always had the support.
Richie Rich sighs.
RICHIE RICH"
I just felt bad that she was going through this, I mean the two spent 25+ years together so it just felt natural for them to stay together but it is true, love doesn’t always last forever.
THe scene cuts back to Richie Rich and his mother.
Veronica Richie: I don’t want to talk about him anymore, I just need your help packing the rest of my things up.
Richie Rich: I hope he doesn’t come home, I don’t feel like arguing.
Veronica Richie: He won’t, I think he’s out of town somewhere, probably on a so called “business trip” but we all know what those business trips are.
Richie Rich: Just calm down Ma, it’s not the end of the world.
Veronica Richie: Yea, well it seems like the end of mines.
Richie Rich shakes his head, he watches his mom stand there, sad and all. He walks over to her and hugs her as the scene fades, the scene opens back up with Carlos, Carlos is shown pulling up to a park, he hops out of the car holding a teddy bear and some chocolate he makes his way inside the park, the scene cuts to a confessional.
CARLOS TORREZ"
I wanted to meet up with Levi because I felt bad for what happened at our little sit down the other day, I really wanted the group to welcome him in with open arms but since his beef with London it seems like the rest of the group wasn’t giving him a chance. Well I didn’t want to be like the rest of the group so I wanted to extend my hand and kind of apologize to him for what happened.
Carlos pauses.
CARLOS TORREZ"
Plus I didn’t want him to think I set him up.
The scene cuts back to the park, Levi is shown running around one of the tracks, Carlos makes his way onto the track motioning Levi to meet him over by the bleachers and he does.
Levi Bryant: What’s this?
Carlos hands Levi the chocolates and the bear.
Carlos Torrez: I know it’s cheesy, but I wanted to do something for you because I felt bad about the other day. I didn’t think London was going to react that way but then again I should have known he would.
Levi Bryant: It’s not your fault the boy doesn’t have home training.
Carlos Torrez: I want you to know that I only set the meeting up with good intentions.
Levi Bryant: I know Carlos and I appreciate the gesture, I hope this doesn’t cause any issues between you and London.
Carlos Torrez: It seems like there already is a problem, but I guess that’s something I will have to deal with later down the line.
Levi Bryant: No one has ever really done this for me, so excuse my reaction, I’m flattered though.
Carlos Torrez: Damn that’s whack, I would think people would send you gifts and stuff all the time.
Levi Bryant: I wish.
Carlos Torrez: Well you deserve it.
Levi Bryant: Thank you Carlos, I really don’t know how to react to this though, I mean I know we’re friends but this is -
Carlos Torrez: You don’t have to explain anything, I did it because I want to.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
I thought it was so nice of Carlos to stop by and surprise me with chocolate and a bear, I’ve never had that happened so it shocked me. I felt a connection between Carlos and I, I mean I would date him. He was sexy, a businessman and I know if we ended up together we probably would make magic, but I didn’t know if he was interested the same way I was interested.
Levi pauses.
LEVI BRYANT"
But I guess there would only be one way to find out huh?
The scene cuts back to Levi and Carlos.
Levi Bryant: Well thank you again.
Carlos Torrez: I was going to say if you're not busy, we could always go and grab something eat, I’m sure you're hungry after all that running and I haven’t eaten all day.
Levi Bryant: That would be nice, would this be like a date or something?
Carlos Torrez: Ha, you never know.
Levi smiles, Levi walks over and grabs his things from one of the tables and he follows behind Carlos as the scene fades and opens back up at London’s condo, inside London is shown lying on the couch in a pair of boxers and a ripped up shirt, the front door opens and Anthony makes his way inside.
Anthony King: Yo, where you at?
Anthony walks down the long hallway and into the living room area where London is.
Anthony King: We got to talk.
London Carter: About?
Anthony King: I sat down with Levi and the shit wasn’t pretty.
London Carter: Why would you go sit down with him and not have me there?
Anthony King: Becuase if you would have been there then it would have been a repeat of the club, the yacht party and the little sit down you two had and I wasn’t trying to deal with that.
London Carter: I don’t trust him.
Anthony King: Well you should trust me, I wasn’t the one that cheated the last time around.
London rolls his eyes.
London Carter: Whatever man, so what happened?
Anthony King: Let’s just say I think our friendship is over, so really after that whole incident I shouldn’t hear his name or anything dealing with him anymore.
London Carter: Well as long as he keeps my name out of his mouth then it shouldn’t been an issue, I’m glad he’s out of your life because you don’t need that negativity.
Anthony King: Yo you don’t get it, I understand y’all have your little issue but you have to remember that me and dude have been friends for years, even before you came around. I still choose you because you're my dude and I love you but I would hate to lose a friendship over something so pointless.
London Carter: Tell him that, he started it.
Anthony King: I already told him and I’m telling you, I’ve decided to distance myself from the situation anyway because it seems like whatever I do or say is not going to work. I’m not sleeping with that dude and I don’t want to either, if he wants to sit on the side and play the jealous role then let him, we are trying to fix our problems not add more to it.
London nods his head in agreement.
London Carter: I mean you're right, I feel bad for even putting my hands on him because I don’t want to be portrayed in that light. I always use to be so angry and I’ve been trying to change that.
Anthony King: And you’ve been doing a great job, don’t let the outside shit affect you or us.
London walks up to Anthony and the two hug it out.
London Carter: I really love you man, I fucked up and I’m sorry. I want to fix this!
Anthony King: Then fix it yo.
Anthony turns and walks into the bedroom leaving London standing there, the scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
Anthony was right, minus all the bullshit going on between us, we had a lot to do when it came to fixing our relationship. I shouldn’t let Levi and his foolishness tear us apart even more.
London smiles.
LONDON CARTER"
And I was happy that we were able to move forward, I never really opened up about my cheating because I never wanted to look like the bad guy, and I was embarrassed. But Anthony forgave me and that man still loves me, I don't want to mess it up anymore than I already have.
The scene cuts back to London and Anthony, the two kiss again and start fooling around, a knock is heard at the door and Anthony rushes over to the door, he opens it and on the side is Drake.
Anthony King: Yo bruh, what's good?
Drake walks in.
Drake Andrews: I just got here to LA, I'm tired as hell man but we got some work to do.
London walks into the room.
London Carter: Hey Drake, I guess y'all about to work so I'm about to meet up with some friends and go shopping.
London kisses Anthony on the cheek and walks out the door leaving Drake and Anthony standing there in the condo alone. Drake daps Anthony up before they go take a seat. The scene fades into a confessional
DRAKE ANDREWS"
Yo! I knew it wouldn't be long before B caught the news that me and Mercedes slipped up. I know I fucked that shit up big time but what can i say. Mercedes is just……
He licks his lips, shaking his head.
DRAKE ANDREWS"
Yall seen the girl man. Shawty was bad and I was feeling it. But it was never supposed to go this far..and to be honest I don't know what I'm gonna do. On one hand, Brandon been holding me down for over 2 years. He put up with all my Bullshit. I mean we all know he not innocent either. But this one was all on me. But he been way too calm about the shit. I kinda been avoiding him since he found out. But when he asked me to come to LA I guess I realized it was time to face the music. But before I did that I had to talk to my nigga Anthony, come up with some sort of game plan or some shit.
The scene fades back to Anthony and Drake in the condo
Anthony King: I’m shocked to see you here bruh, I figured you would be hiding out after the news I heard.
Anthony shakes his head.
Anthony King: That shit is crazy yo, I know you haven’t seen Brandon but have you talked to him since this happened?
Drake Andrews: That's why I'm here man. Try name figure out how to approach the shit for real. I ain't talked to him since he found out. It wasn't supposed to happen like this. I don't know what to do forreal
Anthony King: I wouldn’t stress yourself out about it to be honest, You gotta go and handle your business though, that little homie been riding out with you for the longest and you’ve done some messed up stuff to him. The quiet ones are usually the deadliest so I’m sure that dude somewhere in the cut planning something.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
ANTHONY KING"
I really didn’t know what to tell him, I mean I was going through my own personal shit so I needed to take care of that first before I could worry about anyone else's problems. But Drake was the homie and I hated to see him in this predicament, so the only thing I could do was figure out how I could help him.
Drake Andrews: I don’t want him jump on me all crazy, you know Brandon don’t know how to communicate well, that dude stay going overboard.
Anthony King: That’s him seeking attention, I heard he was getting up with London later so maybe you should try and talk to him before they all start hanging out, it's some event going on in the valley tonight so that might be the perfect time to see whats up.
Drake Andrews: Are you going?
Anthony King: I don’t know, I’ve been thinking about it.
Drake Andrews: Well I ain’t trying to go alone, it would be dope if my homie could be there with me.
Anthony King: Ha, you seem scared yo.
Anthony laughs.
Drake Andrews: Nah you buggin, I ain’t scared but i just prefer you to be there, I mean Brandon is crazy and hard to talk to so the help would be appreciated.
Anthony King: Since you my boy I’ll go, but I’m not putting up with any extra shit, so if they try to me tonight then it’s on.
Drake Andrews: Bruh, you don’t have to tell me twice, I told Brandon I don’t like doing this shit but he insists on me doing it because its helping him, but yo tonight I need to focus on my relationship so I’m not going for no other bullshit.
Anthony King: I got your back yo.
The two continue talking as the scene fades and reopens at LA Fitness, inside Yosef is shown making his way inside of the gym, he stops at the entrance and looks around for a second before finding the person he was looking for, he walks over to the individual as the scene cuts to a confessional.
YOSEF MARLEY"
I needed to get away from the group and kind of be with my real friends, don’t get me wrong I don’t think the group aren’t my real friends but right now I rather be around people that have known me for a long time. I decided to go meet my friend August at the gym, he lives in DC but is here visiting family so I kind of wanted to catch up and see what he has been up to, maybe get some advice on how to handle this whole situation with London and Levi.
The scene cuts back to the gym, Yosef finds August standing near one of the work out machines and the two share a quick hug before walking over to the sitting area.
Yosef Marley: I should have known that as soon as you got to LA the gym would be the first place you visited.
August Li: You know I’ve been here before, multiple times. I just needed to get out of the house, my parents were driving me crazy.
Yosef Marley: What better place then the gym so I don’t blame you, I’m happy as shit you're here because I swear I need some of my real friends around me.
August Li: Oh boy, your friends up here not living up to your expectations? I already told you these LA crowds be different, always something sneaky about them.
Yosef Marley: I don’t know what it is, I just need my real friends around me.
August Li: Well I already told you when you moved here that you were going to have to deal with a lot of fakeness and bullshit, but I’m here now. I’m actually thinking about relocating back to LA but I just wanted to finish school in DC first.
Yosef Marley: Well hurry up and come back because I need you.
August Li: Let me know what’s going on first.
Yosef Marley: You remember the boy Brandon I told you about.
August rolls his eyes.
August Li: I do.
Yosef Marley: I mean he hit me up the other day, I never really gave him the chance to explain why he hit me up but I assume because his boyfriend got another chick pregnant and usually when they're having issues, he comes running back to me. But I’m over that whole situation like I want to be his friend but at the same time I still hold resentment and anger against that boy because he really fucked me over.
August Li: Isn’t he young though?
Yosef Marley: Your young.
August Li: But it's a difference, especially when it comes to maturity. I don’t have an issue with the boy because I don’t even know him so I can’t have an issue with him. But I honestly think you shouldn’t be bothered with him, he causes way to many issues in your life.
August shrugs his shoulder.
August Li: That’s my personal opinion about it, I don’t know if his ass that good to where you need to be acting like this but I would definitely leave him alone.
Yosef Marley: Yeah, that sounds so much of what I was thinking in my head at the moment.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
YOSEF MARLEY"
August was right, I couldn’t deny that. That was one thing I liked about August though, he was always honest and upfront, he never held anything back. So I knew anytime I come to him for advice I would get what I needed to hear and what was right, I swear I couldn’t wait for him to move back to LA, shit would be so much better.
The scene cuts back to Yosef and August.
Yosef Marley: I do want to introduce you to the rest of the crew though.
August Li: Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean by the way you talk about him, I’m a little nervous about meeting these people.
August laughs.
August Li: That’s no shade to them, but you already know I’m a private person so I’m not trying to be caught up in any drama.
Yosef Marley: Nah everyone is pretty chill except this new dude that’s been hanging around, Carlos brought him in, his name is Levi, I think Levi Bryant.
August rolls his eyes.
August Li: I know exactly who you are talking about and trust he isn’t well liked in the modeling world back in DC or NY, I walked a few shows with him and he is a complete asshole, like that ego he has is amazing and he isn’t even a power house model.
August laughs.
August Li: And that was shade, I just think when certain people are awarded a opportunity, they shouldn’t take advantage of it but instead embrace it. But can’t everyone be like me!
Yosef Marley: Yeah, I don’t vibe with him much, too much drama for me, especially now with London.
August Li: Oh I know London too, I’ve ran into him at a couple shows, sweet guy, is he still married to that guy? I can’t remember his name.
Yosef pauses.
Yosef Marley: Uhh I don’t know what's going on with that situation so I really don’t want to comment about it, but let’s just say the one of the reasons why Levi and London don’t get along is because of the relationship.
August Li: Ah, the thirst is real out in these streets huh, say no more.
Yosef Marley: The rest of the crew is cool though, I just have to see when everyone is getting together and maybe I’ll invite you out and see how you interact with everyone.
August Li: Well you already know I don’t take any shit, but I don’t mind meeting your friends and seeing how everything works out, if I do decide to relocate out here I guess it would be good to know some people, I left at such a young age and all the friends I had are off doing other things or living somewhere that isn’t close to me.
Yosef Marley: I know you're in school and all but I think you should come back, maybe finish the semester there and transfer, it would be great to have you back and plus all the opportunity you're missing out on, I’m sure DC offers some but there’s nothing like LA.
August Li: Which is true, I would have to think about it but I’m not counting it out.
Yosef Marley: Well let me know if you need any help with anything and you know I will help you.
The two continue talking as the scene cuts out, the scene reopens back at Brandon’s hotel room, Brandon is shown running around inside trying to do 20 things at once, a knock is heard at the door and Brandon rushes to the door to find Drake on the other side waiting. Brandon opens the door and lets Drake in and he rushes back to the bedroom as the scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
Drake called me earlier today and said that he was on his way to LA, he wanted to talk about what was going on with him and this so called chick Mercedes, I didn’t want him to come at first becuase I just found out the news so I needed that time to kind of process it on my own but I couldn’t change the fact that I loved this man, so I was interested in hearing what he had to say.
Brandon pauses.
BRANDON YOUNG"
Even though I know it’s going to be some bullshit, but it wouldn’t hurt me to hear him out.
The scene cuts back to Drake and Brandon.
Brandon Young: What?
Drake Andrews: Don’t do that, you knew I was coming so don’t act like you didn’t want me here.
Brandon Young: I really don’t know what to say to you, once again Drake is having another child and little ole’ me is the last to find out. It would be different if we discussed this and I already knew, then I would have a better clap back for the press but no you can’t fill me in on anything, I’m always left in the dark looking stupid.
Drake Andrews: That wasn’t my intentions.
Brandon Young: It's never your intention, the problem with you is that you never think before you act, and then I’m always the one who has to deal with the aftermath and pick up the pieces, I’m so sick and tired of it Drake.
Drake Andrews: I don't know what to say B, i fucked up.
Brandon Young: Well that excuse isn’t going to work this time, I’m so tired of hearing you fucked up, we all know you fucked up because that’s all you do.
Drake Andrews: What can I do to fix this yo?
Brandon rolls his eyes, he walks over to the couch and sits down placing his head in the palm of his hands.
Drake Andrews: Hello?
Brandon looks up.
Brandon Young: I just need some time alone man, I need to think.
Drake Andrews: Really?
Brandon nods his head.
Drake Andrews: Look I’ll give you your space, but figure out what you wanna do yo, don’t forget your not innocent in this whole relationship so don’t try and make me look like I’m the bad guy.
Brandon Young: Well in this situation you are, we both made a promise not to be sneaky or mean towards each other, I’ve held up my end of the bargain but what about you?
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
I swear he was pissing me off, Drake thinks because he sexy as hell and he got a big stick that he can just control me and treat me any way he wants to but it doesn’t work like that, you know how many big dick dudes with money and good looks I could hook up with in this world, like all I want is some freaking respect.
The scene cuts back to Drake and Brandon.
Drake Andrews: Look, I’m about to meet up with Anthony again at the studio, so I’ll be here a few days if you want to talk.
Before Brandon could reply, Drake starts walking towards the door.
Brandon Young: So you just going to walk away.
Drake Andrews: I’m not playing your games yo, hit me when you really serious.
Drake opens the front door and walks out slamming it behind him and leaving Brandon in the room speechless, the scene fades.
CARLOS TORREZ"
Figures London would walk in acting like a spoiled little brat, a diva.
The scene cuts back to the table.
Carlos Torrez: Are you two ordering something? Because we waited.
London laughs.
London Carter: You already know it's not that type of lunch, no one was expecting to sit down and share old stories, let's get to the punch so I can get the hell out of here.
Levi shakes his head.
Levi Bryant: It’s so much negativity at this table.
London Carter: Then maybe you should leave.
Levi Bryant: I can leave because at this point you or your pointless relationship means nothing to me.
Brandon interrupts.
Brandon Young: Uh let's not bring relationships in this right now, because I can already see this getting out of hand.
Carlos Torrez: I just want us all to get along, I mean we all run in the same circle.
London Carter: That's where you're wrong, he just started running in this little “circle” that lets not forget I brought together. This Queen sitting on the other side of the table has brought nothing but drama to my life and i really don’t want to share the same air as her.
Levi Bryant: Now you're being disrespectful.
London tosses his hand up.
London Carter: Chile please.
Carlos Torrez: Be respectful London.
London Carter: Carlos I suggest you keep your mouth shut because you're already walking on thin ice with me. I’ve asked you not to bring this punk around me but yet he keeps showing up at all these events.
Carlos Torrez: He’s a friend of mine.
Brandon Young: Ok look, I need to jump in because we’re obviously running around in circles. It’s obvious that London does not want anything to do with Levi, so we get that. So how about we just end it here and never revisit this conversation again. Levi stop interfering in London’s relationship and London leave Levi’s name out of your mouth, it's as simple as that.
Levi Bryant: Well tell his man to stop contacting me and I wouldn’t have to interfere.
London Carter: Like see that’s enough.
London launches his body across the table tackling Levi to the ground, the two began exchanging blows while Carlos and Brandon stand from a distance watching the two go at it, security runs up on the two trying to separate them but London turns swinging at one of the security guards knocking him to the floor.
London Carter: STOP FUCKING WITH ME YO.
London leaps back on Levi who was trying to get to his feet, London starts swinging away again, he connects with a few hits before security pulls him off of Levi again, trying to hold London back, Levi jumps up sneak attacking London knocking him in his head with his fist.
Levi Bryant: You a pussy bitch.
Levi charges at London again but Brandon steps in the way pushing Levi back towards the other direction.
Brandon Young: Chill bruh!
Levi Bryant: I suggest you stay out of it Brandon, I don’t want to have to fuck you up out here to.
Brandon rolls his eyes.
Brandon Young: That’ll never happen, yo security get that nigga, he trippin.
Security pulls Levi off to the side, Carlos stands by Levi side watching Brandon and London being forced in the opposite direction. The scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
London is fucking trippin, this is not the first time he has attacked me and it probably won’t be the last, the next time I run into that bitch it’s no words, I’m fighting on sight.
The scene cuts back to London and Brandon who are standing in the parking lot, still surrounded by security, London starts pacing back and forth.
London Carter: I came here to shut that nigga up and that's exactly what I did, I don’t understand why these little boys try and fuck with me, it will never work.
Brandon Young: He’s bold.
London Carter: And a idiot.
Brandon Young: I think you need to talk to Anthony to London, I mean Levi is doing way too much just for them two to be friends so maybe Anthony is telling him something different.
London Carter: Oh I will definitely have a talk with Anthony when I get back to the house because this is ridiculous. I never had to deal with this shit, even when I first came out.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
I told myself I wasn’t going to come to this little sit down and turn up, but I can’t stand someone with a disrespectful attitude and mouth. He got what he deserves and trust if he wants to go another round then I’m all for it. But Brandon was right, I need to talk to Anthony because it makes me think its must be something more to this whole situation because Levi is going way to hard.
The scene cuts to the following day, the scene opens up with Brandon and his best friend Braelyn Monroe, the two are shown inside Brandon’s hotel room, Brandon is reading through some old text messages while Braelyn is in the small kitchenette whipping up a drink, the scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
Things have been mad crazy these last few days, with all the drama going on in London’s life, I kind of took a break from what was happening in mines. A few days ago I found out that Drake is once again expecting another child but this time it’s not with his baby mother, but with one of his artist.
Brandon sighs.
BRANDON YOUNG"
I don’t know too much about this girl, all I know is she use to be a wrestler and now she is singing for a living. I really don’t know how to feel or what to feel because it seems like that this little friendship between the two is becoming more than what it is and I don’t like that.
The scene cuts back to Brandon and Braelyn.
Braelyn Monroe: I can’t believe he didn’t tell you.
Brandon Young: I mean why would he tell me, the man has been living a secret life since we been together, I just don’t know what to do anymore.
Braelyn Monroe: I know you love him, but it's about respect. It would be different if you two sat down and talked about this or planned this, but you didn’t.
Brandon Young:It’s nothing really to talk about, I already know that he is going to tell a lie.
Braelyn Monroe: Yo that girl is like a huge star, I mean she’s had albums, been in movies, posed for magazines and wrestled. So I can see why he sparked interests in her but he still should have been upfront with you.
Brandon Young: My instinct is telling me I should leave him, I just can’t do it anymore and then he didn’t even tell me, I had to find out through social media and the TV show, now that's fucking embarrassing.
Braelyn Monroe: I’m here for you Brandon, you can’t let it get to you too much.
Brandon Young: It’s too late, It’s already gotten to me.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
I told Drake to meet me at my house later, even though he’s in NY and I’m in LA, this was important so I hope he got on that plane and is on his way here.
THe scene cuts back to Brandon and Braelyn.
Braelyn Monroe: I’m here now so take your mind off all that drama, it’s been awhile since we hung out and actually turned up and I don’t want this to be like a sad weekend, I want to have fun.
Brandon Young: I’ll never let him stop my fun, that’s not the case. I just want to figure out my next move, I’m actually proud of myself because usually I would be causing hell right now, but I’m trying this whole “mature” thing and I can’t let him bring me down anymore.
Braelyn Monroe: That’s what I want to hear.
The two continue to talk as the scene fades and cuts to another location, the scene opens up at Levi’s home, inside Levi is shown walking back and forth throughout the house, still mad from the lunch earlier, he picks his phone off the table and answers the call that was coming through.
Levi Bryant: Are you here?
The person on the other end responds with a “Yes” and Levi makes his way to the front door, he opens it and standing on the other side is Anthony King. Anthony makes his way into the house as the scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
I invited Anthony over because I needed to talk to him about his crazy ass boyfriend, someone needs to calm London down and the only person I know could calm his ass down was Anthony.
The scene cuts back to Levi’s house, Levi and Anthony are shown standing in the middle of the living room, Anthony takes a seat on the sofa while Levi stands.
Levi Bryant: So I guess you heard that I was attacked again by your ex fiance or boyfriend, whatever you two are calling yourself.
Anthony King: Don’t be ignorant.
Levi Bryant: Look you need to check London before I do, because if I get real mad, it won’t be pretty for him.
Anthony King: He doesn’t take well to threats and neither do I, but what did you do to piss him off?
Levi Bryant: I tried to have a mature conversation with that man, but I realized he’s not capable to handle a real conversations, he's a clown and if I see him in the club it's over.
Anthony King: Look I came over here to squash this bullshit, we’re friends and that’s what it is, you got me at a vulnerable moment and I shouldn’t have entertain that whole situation. All I want is to have a healthy relationship with my dude and have a genuine friendship with you, we’ve been boys since before high school and I’m not trying to have this friendship end over something stupid.
Levi Bryant: Well it's too late now, London has attacked me more than once so I know that if we continue a friendship it will only cause more problems and I don’t need that in my life.
Anthony King: And I already know you're trying to play victim here and it's not going to work, I’m going to talk with London but you just need to back up. I’m tired of hearing about this drama man, y’all already know I’m not into no shit like this and I’m being dragged in it because y’all need something to feed off of, leave it alone or I’m really going to get involved and if I get involved you definitely won’t like the outcome, so you can take that as a threat if you want.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
I didn’t understand why Anthony was the one so upset when it was his boyfriend that attacked me, I valued our friendship but I valued my respect more.
The scene fades and cuts to Yosef, Yosef is shown leaving out of the gym, carrying a duffle bag in hand he walks over to his car parked on the other side of the street. Before he could jump in, Brandon is shown rushing up to Yosef car.
Yosef Marley: Yo, don’t be runnin up on me like that, you already know I stay strapped with my dagger.
Yosef laughs.
Brandon Young: I was in the neighborhood and I was trolling on IG and saw you at the gym, I was going to call but I figured popping up would be better.
Yosef Marley: So what’s up?
Brandon Young: You think we could go somewhere and talk?
Yosef Marley: I just finished my workout, I was going to grab a salad at this place down the street and head home but I guess we could eat there if you want.
Brandon Young: That’s cool with me, I can just ride with you and you cold bring me back to my car after.
Yosef nods as the two both jump in the car, the scene fades to a confessional.
YOSEF MARLEY"
It didn’t surprise me that Brandon popped up, after the news of his boyfriends infidelity, I figured he would be back in my arms in no time. But I wasn’t having it, I was smart enough to know i shouldn’t believe a word that comes out of Brandon’s mouth, he was a liar and whenever his boyfriend isn’t showing him attention, he ends up in my arms for it.
The scene cuts back to Yosef and Brandon, the two make it to the salad place, inside they order their food and the two take a seat at one of the empty tables.
Yosef Marley: So what’s up?
Brandon Young: Nothing, just happy I finally have a day off.
Yosef Marley: I’m surprised you're not out relaxing with your man somewhere.
Brandon sighs.
Brandon Young: You already know we’re not seeing eye to eye right now, so I don’t know why you would even bring that up.
Yosef Marley: I wasn’t being shady about it, if I had a dude and I was off of work, I would be somewhere laid up with him enjoying that time, that’s all.
Brandon Young: Well that’s not happening.
Yosef Marley: So you're here with me, but for what?
Brandon Young: Because I wanted to hang out with you, other you, Braelyn, and London I really don’t know other people here in LA, so London’s busy with his man and Braelyn is in on her way back to Vegas.
Yosef Marley: I just find it funny that when you have issues with that dude, you come running to me.
Brandon Young: That’s not true, I figured we had a real friendship.
Yosef Marley: Since our last altercation, we haven’t talked. If it wasn’t for this, we probably wouldn’t be having a conversation.
Brandon starts to talk but Yosef stops him.
Yosef Marley: So i guess when you two are back on good terms, you won’t be around anymore.
Brandon Young: That’s not true.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
I can see why Yosef was angry, I mean he was half right. I had true feelings for Yosef and he knew it but I was in love with Drake, I love Drake. I never knew what to do when it came to those two, it was like a love triangle and Yosef was right, I only ran to him when Drake and I were having problems and I know I shouldn’t do that. But something in the back of my mind always told me that I should give it a try with Yosef, maybe he would treat me better then the man I’m with now.
The scene cuts back to Yosef and Brandon.
Brandon Young: I’m sorry for everything I put you through, it was never intentional. I was a confused boy that was in love with two different people.
Yosef Marley: And you're still confused, I’m not putting myself back in a difficult situation like before, I don’t think we can even be friends yo.
Brandon Young: Why?
Yosef Marley: Because being friends will only cause issues with you and Drake and to be honest I’m good without the drama. I probably should get you back to your car so I can go, because I can’t with you right now yo.
Yosef grabs his things and makes his way towards the door, Brandon sits there for a second with a sad look on his face but he grabs his things also and walks out the door as the scene fades and opens back up with Richie Rich, Richie Rich is shown making his way into his parents home, Richie Rich walks inside and heads into the kitchen where he see’s his mother standing there by the window, tears in her eyes, his mother takes a sip of the drink she was holding and the scene cuts to a confessional.
RICHIE RICH"
It’s been awhile since I’ve been home, but ever since my parents decided to get a divorce, I needed to be around more often especially for my mother. I really don’t open up to much regarding my family because I try to keep that private. But everyone sees the life I live and they automatically think everything is perfect but it’s not.
The scene cuts back to Richie Rich and his mother Veronica.
Richie Rich: What’s wrong?
Veronica grabs a tissue, wipes the tears from her eyes, she turns and looks at Richie Rich trying to force a smile on her face.
Richie Rich: Ma, tell me.
Veronica Richie: I’m just sad son, I never thought I would be going through this, especially with your father. I stayed with him thinking he would change and he will never change.
Richie Rich: Where is Dad?
Veronica Richie: He’s probably off with his new whore somewhere.
Richie Rich: What happened? I thought you guys were doing counseling.
Veronica Richie: He stopped showing, but it doesn’t matter. I want this divorce to finalize so I can take the money he owes me and move somewhere far away.
Richie Rich: Well you can’t move far away because I need you to be close to me, but I can’t believe Dad is doing this though.
Veronica Richie: I went through his phone the other day and he has this girl sending him nude photos, he’s paying for hotel stays and even bought her a $3,000 purse. The last time he bought me an item that expensive was our 3rd anniversary.
Richie Rich: I’m sorry Mom.
Veronica Richie: It is what it is, he got caught, and I won’t allow him to bring me down. He’s out here messing with these young girls but he doesn’t realize they only want him for his money, once that’s gone they’ll leave him hanging high and dry.
Richie Rich: I should talk to him.
Veronica Richie: That is if you can get in contact with him, I heard he switched his number after the lawyer presented him with the divorce papers.
Richie Rich: I didn’t think you were serious, I knew you guys were having issues but I figured the amount of time you two have been together would have kept you together.
Veronica Richie: I’ve washed my hands with this whole mess, I’ve already put down for a new place out Santa Monica and I’ve furnished the place, once the divorce is finalized and we sell this property I can move on and start my life over.
Richie Rich: Well just know I’m always on your side, I hate this is happening to you.
Veronica Richie: And the way your father use to talk about you, he loved you but he hated the fact that you are gay, he hates how you live your lifestyle and everyday I would have to hear him complain about it.
Richie Rich shakes his head and the scene cuts to a confessional.
RICHIE RICH"
My father never liked the fact I was gay, he tolerated it but every chance he could get, he would always put me down. It never bothered me though, I always worked hard and lived my life the way I wanted to. My mom always stood by my side and my sisters to, so I always had the support.
Richie Rich sighs.
RICHIE RICH"
I just felt bad that she was going through this, I mean the two spent 25+ years together so it just felt natural for them to stay together but it is true, love doesn’t always last forever.
THe scene cuts back to Richie Rich and his mother.
Veronica Richie: I don’t want to talk about him anymore, I just need your help packing the rest of my things up.
Richie Rich: I hope he doesn’t come home, I don’t feel like arguing.
Veronica Richie: He won’t, I think he’s out of town somewhere, probably on a so called “business trip” but we all know what those business trips are.
Richie Rich: Just calm down Ma, it’s not the end of the world.
Veronica Richie: Yea, well it seems like the end of mines.
Richie Rich shakes his head, he watches his mom stand there, sad and all. He walks over to her and hugs her as the scene fades, the scene opens back up with Carlos, Carlos is shown pulling up to a park, he hops out of the car holding a teddy bear and some chocolate he makes his way inside the park, the scene cuts to a confessional.
CARLOS TORREZ"
I wanted to meet up with Levi because I felt bad for what happened at our little sit down the other day, I really wanted the group to welcome him in with open arms but since his beef with London it seems like the rest of the group wasn’t giving him a chance. Well I didn’t want to be like the rest of the group so I wanted to extend my hand and kind of apologize to him for what happened.
Carlos pauses.
CARLOS TORREZ"
Plus I didn’t want him to think I set him up.
The scene cuts back to the park, Levi is shown running around one of the tracks, Carlos makes his way onto the track motioning Levi to meet him over by the bleachers and he does.
Levi Bryant: What’s this?
Carlos hands Levi the chocolates and the bear.
Carlos Torrez: I know it’s cheesy, but I wanted to do something for you because I felt bad about the other day. I didn’t think London was going to react that way but then again I should have known he would.
Levi Bryant: It’s not your fault the boy doesn’t have home training.
Carlos Torrez: I want you to know that I only set the meeting up with good intentions.
Levi Bryant: I know Carlos and I appreciate the gesture, I hope this doesn’t cause any issues between you and London.
Carlos Torrez: It seems like there already is a problem, but I guess that’s something I will have to deal with later down the line.
Levi Bryant: No one has ever really done this for me, so excuse my reaction, I’m flattered though.
Carlos Torrez: Damn that’s whack, I would think people would send you gifts and stuff all the time.
Levi Bryant: I wish.
Carlos Torrez: Well you deserve it.
Levi Bryant: Thank you Carlos, I really don’t know how to react to this though, I mean I know we’re friends but this is -
Carlos Torrez: You don’t have to explain anything, I did it because I want to.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
LEVI BRYANT"
I thought it was so nice of Carlos to stop by and surprise me with chocolate and a bear, I’ve never had that happened so it shocked me. I felt a connection between Carlos and I, I mean I would date him. He was sexy, a businessman and I know if we ended up together we probably would make magic, but I didn’t know if he was interested the same way I was interested.
Levi pauses.
LEVI BRYANT"
But I guess there would only be one way to find out huh?
The scene cuts back to Levi and Carlos.
Levi Bryant: Well thank you again.
Carlos Torrez: I was going to say if you're not busy, we could always go and grab something eat, I’m sure you're hungry after all that running and I haven’t eaten all day.
Levi Bryant: That would be nice, would this be like a date or something?
Carlos Torrez: Ha, you never know.
Levi smiles, Levi walks over and grabs his things from one of the tables and he follows behind Carlos as the scene fades and opens back up at London’s condo, inside London is shown lying on the couch in a pair of boxers and a ripped up shirt, the front door opens and Anthony makes his way inside.
Anthony King: Yo, where you at?
Anthony walks down the long hallway and into the living room area where London is.
Anthony King: We got to talk.
London Carter: About?
Anthony King: I sat down with Levi and the shit wasn’t pretty.
London Carter: Why would you go sit down with him and not have me there?
Anthony King: Becuase if you would have been there then it would have been a repeat of the club, the yacht party and the little sit down you two had and I wasn’t trying to deal with that.
London Carter: I don’t trust him.
Anthony King: Well you should trust me, I wasn’t the one that cheated the last time around.
London rolls his eyes.
London Carter: Whatever man, so what happened?
Anthony King: Let’s just say I think our friendship is over, so really after that whole incident I shouldn’t hear his name or anything dealing with him anymore.
London Carter: Well as long as he keeps my name out of his mouth then it shouldn’t been an issue, I’m glad he’s out of your life because you don’t need that negativity.
Anthony King: Yo you don’t get it, I understand y’all have your little issue but you have to remember that me and dude have been friends for years, even before you came around. I still choose you because you're my dude and I love you but I would hate to lose a friendship over something so pointless.
London Carter: Tell him that, he started it.
Anthony King: I already told him and I’m telling you, I’ve decided to distance myself from the situation anyway because it seems like whatever I do or say is not going to work. I’m not sleeping with that dude and I don’t want to either, if he wants to sit on the side and play the jealous role then let him, we are trying to fix our problems not add more to it.
London nods his head in agreement.
London Carter: I mean you're right, I feel bad for even putting my hands on him because I don’t want to be portrayed in that light. I always use to be so angry and I’ve been trying to change that.
Anthony King: And you’ve been doing a great job, don’t let the outside shit affect you or us.
London walks up to Anthony and the two hug it out.
London Carter: I really love you man, I fucked up and I’m sorry. I want to fix this!
Anthony King: Then fix it yo.
Anthony turns and walks into the bedroom leaving London standing there, the scene cuts to a confessional.
LONDON CARTER"
Anthony was right, minus all the bullshit going on between us, we had a lot to do when it came to fixing our relationship. I shouldn’t let Levi and his foolishness tear us apart even more.
London smiles.
LONDON CARTER"
And I was happy that we were able to move forward, I never really opened up about my cheating because I never wanted to look like the bad guy, and I was embarrassed. But Anthony forgave me and that man still loves me, I don't want to mess it up anymore than I already have.
The scene cuts back to London and Anthony, the two kiss again and start fooling around, a knock is heard at the door and Anthony rushes over to the door, he opens it and on the side is Drake.
Anthony King: Yo bruh, what's good?
Drake walks in.
Drake Andrews: I just got here to LA, I'm tired as hell man but we got some work to do.
London walks into the room.
London Carter: Hey Drake, I guess y'all about to work so I'm about to meet up with some friends and go shopping.
London kisses Anthony on the cheek and walks out the door leaving Drake and Anthony standing there in the condo alone. Drake daps Anthony up before they go take a seat. The scene fades into a confessional
DRAKE ANDREWS"
Yo! I knew it wouldn't be long before B caught the news that me and Mercedes slipped up. I know I fucked that shit up big time but what can i say. Mercedes is just……
He licks his lips, shaking his head.
DRAKE ANDREWS"
Yall seen the girl man. Shawty was bad and I was feeling it. But it was never supposed to go this far..and to be honest I don't know what I'm gonna do. On one hand, Brandon been holding me down for over 2 years. He put up with all my Bullshit. I mean we all know he not innocent either. But this one was all on me. But he been way too calm about the shit. I kinda been avoiding him since he found out. But when he asked me to come to LA I guess I realized it was time to face the music. But before I did that I had to talk to my nigga Anthony, come up with some sort of game plan or some shit.
The scene fades back to Anthony and Drake in the condo
Anthony King: I’m shocked to see you here bruh, I figured you would be hiding out after the news I heard.
Anthony shakes his head.
Anthony King: That shit is crazy yo, I know you haven’t seen Brandon but have you talked to him since this happened?
Drake Andrews: That's why I'm here man. Try name figure out how to approach the shit for real. I ain't talked to him since he found out. It wasn't supposed to happen like this. I don't know what to do forreal
Anthony King: I wouldn’t stress yourself out about it to be honest, You gotta go and handle your business though, that little homie been riding out with you for the longest and you’ve done some messed up stuff to him. The quiet ones are usually the deadliest so I’m sure that dude somewhere in the cut planning something.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
ANTHONY KING"
I really didn’t know what to tell him, I mean I was going through my own personal shit so I needed to take care of that first before I could worry about anyone else's problems. But Drake was the homie and I hated to see him in this predicament, so the only thing I could do was figure out how I could help him.
Drake Andrews: I don’t want him jump on me all crazy, you know Brandon don’t know how to communicate well, that dude stay going overboard.
Anthony King: That’s him seeking attention, I heard he was getting up with London later so maybe you should try and talk to him before they all start hanging out, it's some event going on in the valley tonight so that might be the perfect time to see whats up.
Drake Andrews: Are you going?
Anthony King: I don’t know, I’ve been thinking about it.
Drake Andrews: Well I ain’t trying to go alone, it would be dope if my homie could be there with me.
Anthony King: Ha, you seem scared yo.
Anthony laughs.
Drake Andrews: Nah you buggin, I ain’t scared but i just prefer you to be there, I mean Brandon is crazy and hard to talk to so the help would be appreciated.
Anthony King: Since you my boy I’ll go, but I’m not putting up with any extra shit, so if they try to me tonight then it’s on.
Drake Andrews: Bruh, you don’t have to tell me twice, I told Brandon I don’t like doing this shit but he insists on me doing it because its helping him, but yo tonight I need to focus on my relationship so I’m not going for no other bullshit.
Anthony King: I got your back yo.
The two continue talking as the scene fades and reopens at LA Fitness, inside Yosef is shown making his way inside of the gym, he stops at the entrance and looks around for a second before finding the person he was looking for, he walks over to the individual as the scene cuts to a confessional.
YOSEF MARLEY"
I needed to get away from the group and kind of be with my real friends, don’t get me wrong I don’t think the group aren’t my real friends but right now I rather be around people that have known me for a long time. I decided to go meet my friend August at the gym, he lives in DC but is here visiting family so I kind of wanted to catch up and see what he has been up to, maybe get some advice on how to handle this whole situation with London and Levi.
The scene cuts back to the gym, Yosef finds August standing near one of the work out machines and the two share a quick hug before walking over to the sitting area.
Yosef Marley: I should have known that as soon as you got to LA the gym would be the first place you visited.
August Li: You know I’ve been here before, multiple times. I just needed to get out of the house, my parents were driving me crazy.
Yosef Marley: What better place then the gym so I don’t blame you, I’m happy as shit you're here because I swear I need some of my real friends around me.
August Li: Oh boy, your friends up here not living up to your expectations? I already told you these LA crowds be different, always something sneaky about them.
Yosef Marley: I don’t know what it is, I just need my real friends around me.
August Li: Well I already told you when you moved here that you were going to have to deal with a lot of fakeness and bullshit, but I’m here now. I’m actually thinking about relocating back to LA but I just wanted to finish school in DC first.
Yosef Marley: Well hurry up and come back because I need you.
August Li: Let me know what’s going on first.
Yosef Marley: You remember the boy Brandon I told you about.
August rolls his eyes.
August Li: I do.
Yosef Marley: I mean he hit me up the other day, I never really gave him the chance to explain why he hit me up but I assume because his boyfriend got another chick pregnant and usually when they're having issues, he comes running back to me. But I’m over that whole situation like I want to be his friend but at the same time I still hold resentment and anger against that boy because he really fucked me over.
August Li: Isn’t he young though?
Yosef Marley: Your young.
August Li: But it's a difference, especially when it comes to maturity. I don’t have an issue with the boy because I don’t even know him so I can’t have an issue with him. But I honestly think you shouldn’t be bothered with him, he causes way to many issues in your life.
August shrugs his shoulder.
August Li: That’s my personal opinion about it, I don’t know if his ass that good to where you need to be acting like this but I would definitely leave him alone.
Yosef Marley: Yeah, that sounds so much of what I was thinking in my head at the moment.
The scene cuts to a confessional.
YOSEF MARLEY"
August was right, I couldn’t deny that. That was one thing I liked about August though, he was always honest and upfront, he never held anything back. So I knew anytime I come to him for advice I would get what I needed to hear and what was right, I swear I couldn’t wait for him to move back to LA, shit would be so much better.
The scene cuts back to Yosef and August.
Yosef Marley: I do want to introduce you to the rest of the crew though.
August Li: Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean by the way you talk about him, I’m a little nervous about meeting these people.
August laughs.
August Li: That’s no shade to them, but you already know I’m a private person so I’m not trying to be caught up in any drama.
Yosef Marley: Nah everyone is pretty chill except this new dude that’s been hanging around, Carlos brought him in, his name is Levi, I think Levi Bryant.
August rolls his eyes.
August Li: I know exactly who you are talking about and trust he isn’t well liked in the modeling world back in DC or NY, I walked a few shows with him and he is a complete asshole, like that ego he has is amazing and he isn’t even a power house model.
August laughs.
August Li: And that was shade, I just think when certain people are awarded a opportunity, they shouldn’t take advantage of it but instead embrace it. But can’t everyone be like me!
Yosef Marley: Yeah, I don’t vibe with him much, too much drama for me, especially now with London.
August Li: Oh I know London too, I’ve ran into him at a couple shows, sweet guy, is he still married to that guy? I can’t remember his name.
Yosef pauses.
Yosef Marley: Uhh I don’t know what's going on with that situation so I really don’t want to comment about it, but let’s just say the one of the reasons why Levi and London don’t get along is because of the relationship.
August Li: Ah, the thirst is real out in these streets huh, say no more.
Yosef Marley: The rest of the crew is cool though, I just have to see when everyone is getting together and maybe I’ll invite you out and see how you interact with everyone.
August Li: Well you already know I don’t take any shit, but I don’t mind meeting your friends and seeing how everything works out, if I do decide to relocate out here I guess it would be good to know some people, I left at such a young age and all the friends I had are off doing other things or living somewhere that isn’t close to me.
Yosef Marley: I know you're in school and all but I think you should come back, maybe finish the semester there and transfer, it would be great to have you back and plus all the opportunity you're missing out on, I’m sure DC offers some but there’s nothing like LA.
August Li: Which is true, I would have to think about it but I’m not counting it out.
Yosef Marley: Well let me know if you need any help with anything and you know I will help you.
The two continue talking as the scene cuts out, the scene reopens back at Brandon’s hotel room, Brandon is shown running around inside trying to do 20 things at once, a knock is heard at the door and Brandon rushes to the door to find Drake on the other side waiting. Brandon opens the door and lets Drake in and he rushes back to the bedroom as the scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
Drake called me earlier today and said that he was on his way to LA, he wanted to talk about what was going on with him and this so called chick Mercedes, I didn’t want him to come at first becuase I just found out the news so I needed that time to kind of process it on my own but I couldn’t change the fact that I loved this man, so I was interested in hearing what he had to say.
Brandon pauses.
BRANDON YOUNG"
Even though I know it’s going to be some bullshit, but it wouldn’t hurt me to hear him out.
The scene cuts back to Drake and Brandon.
Brandon Young: What?
Drake Andrews: Don’t do that, you knew I was coming so don’t act like you didn’t want me here.
Brandon Young: I really don’t know what to say to you, once again Drake is having another child and little ole’ me is the last to find out. It would be different if we discussed this and I already knew, then I would have a better clap back for the press but no you can’t fill me in on anything, I’m always left in the dark looking stupid.
Drake Andrews: That wasn’t my intentions.
Brandon Young: It's never your intention, the problem with you is that you never think before you act, and then I’m always the one who has to deal with the aftermath and pick up the pieces, I’m so sick and tired of it Drake.
Drake Andrews: I don't know what to say B, i fucked up.
Brandon Young: Well that excuse isn’t going to work this time, I’m so tired of hearing you fucked up, we all know you fucked up because that’s all you do.
Drake Andrews: What can I do to fix this yo?
Brandon rolls his eyes, he walks over to the couch and sits down placing his head in the palm of his hands.
Drake Andrews: Hello?
Brandon looks up.
Brandon Young: I just need some time alone man, I need to think.
Drake Andrews: Really?
Brandon nods his head.
Drake Andrews: Look I’ll give you your space, but figure out what you wanna do yo, don’t forget your not innocent in this whole relationship so don’t try and make me look like I’m the bad guy.
Brandon Young: Well in this situation you are, we both made a promise not to be sneaky or mean towards each other, I’ve held up my end of the bargain but what about you?
The scene cuts to a confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG"
I swear he was pissing me off, Drake thinks because he sexy as hell and he got a big stick that he can just control me and treat me any way he wants to but it doesn’t work like that, you know how many big dick dudes with money and good looks I could hook up with in this world, like all I want is some freaking respect.
The scene cuts back to Drake and Brandon.
Drake Andrews: Look, I’m about to meet up with Anthony again at the studio, so I’ll be here a few days if you want to talk.
Before Brandon could reply, Drake starts walking towards the door.
Brandon Young: So you just going to walk away.
Drake Andrews: I’m not playing your games yo, hit me when you really serious.
Drake opens the front door and walks out slamming it behind him and leaving Brandon in the room speechless, the scene fades.
