TRINITY MONROE:
I've been dying to remodel my place since Dallas and Zeno moved out. I designed it for all of us and there's way too many reminders of us when i walk around. The contractors are set to come next week and i wanted to get a head start on picking out some new furniture.
The scene fades back into the furniture store. Bry'an Tilly is shown walking into the store. He spots Trinity and walks over to her giving her a hug.
BRY'AN TILLY:
Hey miss mama!
BRY'AN TILLY:
So i met Trinity at the Art MeSo event I did last week. I knew her work long before and I'm in love with her artistry. So i was so happy she reached out to me to kinds kuat hang out and get to know each other.
The scene fades back to the two. The consultant excuses himself so that they could chat.
TRINITY MONROE:
So what's going on? How are you liking Atlanta?
BRY'AN TILLY:
Hmmmm. It's cute i guess. U dont know how I'm gonna deal with this cold. I almost ran back to L.A.
The two chuckle
TRINITY MONROE:
You'll get used to it! Especially when you start networking. This place is a gold mine.
BRY'AN TILLY:
Yeah! That much I have noticed. I've been super busy since I got here. I haven't even really had time to socialize.
TRINITY MONROE:
You did your thing at the show last week! I loved your workshop. That's actually one of the reasons I called you it here. I'm annually a fan of you as well!
BRY'AN TILLY:
Girl stop!
BRY'AN TILLY:
That's crazy! I've watched this woman growing up. She's huge in three makeup industry. So to hear her even say she was a fan meant much.
TRINITY MONROE: I am serious! You're so young and talented. And i see that you have ventured slightly into your own cosmetics..
BRY'AN TILLY: Ya! Actually..i have a line of lip gloss as well as lashes. But I would live to go deeper in with my own line.
TRINITY MONROE: That's great! I have actually been working with some people from the industry and I'm actually in works on creating a line of foundations, shadows and highlights. And i was thinking. Why not team up with you to create a signature shade for you.
Bryāan drips his mouth in shock.
BRY'AN TILLY: Are you being serious! Oh em! I would so love that!.
TRINITY MONROE: I figured you would! I love it! Of course we'll talk more about it and iron out all the deets later. But I'm so glad you're in board. This can be a great thing!
BRY'AN TILLY: Oh absolutely! I can't wait!
The two finish chatting off camera as the scene fades to a confessional cam.
RICHIE RICH: Yosef called me today and told me he was in Atlanta, I havenāt seen Yosef since I was in LA so I was a little nervous about this meeting. I love Yosef, I mean we were best friends. We fell for each other and moved way too fast and I donāt know, I just wasnāt ready.
Richie Rich sighs.
RICHIE RICH: But we had a lot of issues in our relationship, a lot of trust issues and communication issues. It was my idea for us to take some time apart but he went overboard when he decided to get back in contact with someone I thought was no longer apart of his life.
Richie Rich shakes his head.
RICHIE RICH: But I wonāt name names.
The scene fades to Smokeyās Diner located downtown Atlanta. Richie Rich is shown sitting outside on the patio in the chair. He flips through the menu trying to find something quick and small to eat. He looks up and notices Yosef walking toward him and he gets up greeting him with a hug.
RICHIE RICH: Hey!
YOSEF MARLEY: Whatās going on?
RICHIE RICH: Nothing honestly, just enjoying a day off. Iām surprised you even reached out to me, The last time we talked we said some horrible things to each other.
YOSEF MARLEY: Well thatās why I wanted to meet up and actually talk face to face. I really didnāt want these cameras around but I guess if you want the world to know our dirty laundry then thatās on you.
RICHIE RICH: I feel you getting defensive already, so should I leave?
YOSEF MARLEY: Walking away never solves anything.
RICHIE RICH: And neither does arguing.
YOSEF MARLEY: I get we rushed this whole engagement thing but yo we were friends before this whole shit. Like i miss the friendship, if I canāt have you as my nigga then at least be my friend.
RICHIE RICH: I wanted to be your friend Yosef but you fucking played me, you made me look like a fool.
YOSEF MARLEY: I never slept with him yo, we just talked.
RICHIE RICH: And you exchanged nudes and talked about fucking. Thatās still a form of cheating and I could have aired all that shit out but If I did then I would have broken up a marriage.
YOSEF MARLEY: Stop saying that.
RICHIE RICH: Itās the truth though Yosef.
YOSEF MARLEY: Itās not the truth but I donāt want to get into that, but whatās going on with you hanging out with this dude? You moving on that quick?
RICHIE RICH: No. But Iām allowed to have friends.
YOSEF MARLEY: So then why canāt we be friends?
RICHIE RICH: Because I need time Yosef, this breakup was really rough for me. We were just engaged a few months ago and now we rarely speak, this is new to me.
YOSEF MARLEY: You never gave me a chance, at least another one. I tried my hardest to fix us and then I come back to find out you moved out and you hanging out with a new nigga, Iām in my feelings yo.
RICHIE RICH: I understand that Yosef but I just need time, thatās all.
RICHIE RICH: I love Yosef and I always will but we just wonāt work as a couple. I rather end our relationship to save our friendship if that makes sense.
The scene cuts back to Yosef and Richie Rich.
YOSEF MARLEY: I didnāt come here to argue, I just came here to try and fix what was broken and maybe rebuild a friendship between us. I just want my friend back at the end of the day and even though I have my reasons to be mad, I can put that aside just so I can fix us.
RICHIE RICH: That means a lot.
YOSEF MARLEY: And I mean it.
Richie Rich leans in on Yosef and kisses him on the lips, he smiles as he caresses Yosefās face. Richie Rich grabs his phone and gets up from the table.
RICHIE RICH: Iāll talk to you later Yosef, I love you.
YOSEF MARLEY: I love you too.
Richie Rich walks away from the table leaving the restaurant as the scene fades and reopens downtown Atlanta at one of the local medical centers. Chanel Snow is shown inside handing out pamphlets and speaking with different guess who make their way into the center.
CHANEL SNOW: Today Iām helping out at a few local medical centers, just giving out pamphlets and educating the people that were coming in to the medical center whether it was to get information or to get tested. I felt like I needed to give back and help out especially within the LGBT community because Lord knows we need it.
Chanel smiles.
CHANEL SNOW: It turned out to be a great event, a lot of people showed, even some that I didnāt know was going to be there. When I arrived to the event I noticed Trinity Monroe standing inside talking with a few people. We locked eyes and yes it was an awkward moment but it was nice to see her here helping out.
Chanel sighs.
CHANEL SNOW: Being here and listening to some of these peopleās stories made me realize that maybe the drama going on between Trinity and I was pointless. At one point we were really good friends, we hung out together, spoke daily on the phone, and were just so kind to each other but now, itās a totally different story. I felt like once I was finished here I should just talk to her and just dead this beef once and for all.
The scene cuts back to Chanel who just wrapped up a speech to the crowd, she smiles as she steps down from the podium. She notices Trinity heading for the exit but Chanel rushes over to Trinity stopping her.
CHANEL SNOW: Ummm, I know this is awkward but I was hoping I could talk to you, it would only take a couple seconds.
Chanel notices the annoyed look on Trinityās face, Chanel sighs.
CHANEL SNOW: I know Iām the last person you want to talk to but again just give me a couple seconds and you can go on your way.
Trinity rolls her eyes, clearly irritated
TRINITY MONROE: I really need to start checking the guest list of events I'm invited to before i say yes. I am here for a purpose, this isn't a photo op for me. I'm bout doing this so i can go tweet about it. I don't have time for this. What could she possibly want to talk to me about?
The scene fades back to the two. Trinity looks to Chanel angrily.
TRINITY MONROE: Hello Chanel. I have about two good minutes before i have to get backā¦ Chat away.
CHANEL SNOW: Thatās all I need honestly, by the way you look great tonight. But anyway! I just wanted to apologize for everything that has happened between us, I understand I caused majority of the drama and I wonāt sit here and go into detail but I am sorry.
Chanel pauses, brushing her hair to the side, she stares Trinity in her eyes.
CHANEL SNOW: At one point we were good friends, we hung out, partied together, and were really close and even if we canāt get back to that I just want us to just be cool. I shouldnāt have allowed jealousy and rage to ruin our friendship, spreading lies and trying to damage you as a human being and for that I am truly sorry for.
CHANEL SNOW: Who knows if Trinity will believe my apology or not. But I am sincere and I just hope we can move pass all the drama and just start fresh.
The scene cuts back to Chanel and Trinity.
CHANEL SNOW: Being here tonight and hearing these peoples stories just made me realize how good of a life I have and that I shouldnāt take that for granted or be involved in pointless drama. I am rambling so anyway again Iām sorry and I appreciate you listening to me.
Trinity is shown seated in shock. For a moment she just la sits there not really knowing what to say.
TRINITY MONROE: Punkād is definitely canceled right? Ashton Kutcher fine ass is not about to jump out is he?
She crosses her legs, shaking her head.
TRINITY MONROE: I'm baffled. I really don't know how to receive this. I feel like one part of me wants to just walk away and continue to be done with her. But the other part with the heart feels like maybe I could hear her out. Before cameras were involved, we did have a friendship. I don't know. I'm just confused.
The scene fades back to the two.
TRINITY MONROE: Girl I am gagging. Did Chanel Snow just apologize. What have they put in the drinks.
She chuckles.
TRINITY MONROE: I really don't know what to say. I've imagined this for a long time. And i had all the words. But they're just gone.
CHANEL SNOW: I understand, I really donāt need much words from you because Iām the one who kind of started the whole mess but I just want to let go of all the drama as just start fresh if we can.
Trinity pauses for a moment as to gage her level of sincerity.
TRINITY MONROE: You know what. Life is short girl. I'm sure it will take time. But I don't see why we can't give it a try.
CHANEL SNOW: And thatās enough for me, Well I know weāre both booked and busy so Iāll let you go, we should definitely do lunch one day and really chat.
Chanel smiles and the two share a huge as the scene fades and reopens showing Kaliyah Kane is taking a good look around her newly decorated living room inside her new place in Atlanta, having secured a condo here after signing onto film for The LIFE ATL. Seated next to her on the leather violet couch is her younger sister, Kandice who is also admiring the place.
KALIYAH KANE: Allow me to make the proper introductions, Iām Kaliyah Kane and I am most known for when I used to be a full-time recording artist for Quagliaterre Incās La Donna label. After taking a break from music and pulling back a bit, I got promoted to vocal coach which I am currently focusing the most on while occasionally releasing music. I wanted to the The Life because I wanted to give my fans the opportunity to see the woman behind the music and what better way to do so then appearing on reality television.
Kandice continues looking around, checking out how pretty the wallpaper is before giving a nod of her head with approval.
KANDICE KANE: This is really nice! I still canāt believe you really got a place out here. It gives me more of an excuse to come visit you whenever youāre not staying in LA, plus so many places to check out here and have fun at. Jair has been trying to relax alot more ever since stepping back into the ring so weāre usually only traveling for shows and events related to work.
KALIYAH KANE: Thereās definitely nothing wrong with that, a lot of rest can really relax the mind especially when youāre dealing with such a crazy, busy schedule. I feel as if I caught a break with stepping away from music full time because all those hours I used to clock in at the studio then traveling to many places just to film one music video, i felt as if my free time was stretched. Now i can relax a lot more and have a peace of mind.
KANDICE KANE: Speaking of peace of mindā¦ how is everything?? I know this year was pretty crazy on you and stuffā¦ and even though you say you are okay, are you?
KALIYAH KANE: Yes Iām fine, just hoping to be able to a good rest of the year. You remember what granny always said, āTough situations donāt define you, they just test you. If youāre strong enough, youāll grow and learn.ā I just feel as if everything that has happened has not only taught me to always trust my instincts no matter what and to never let anyone take your happiness away. Life is good and I plan on making sure itās going to stay good. I just worry about you, though because I know that with your modeling career, you had to get used to the spotlight but dating such a high profile professional wrestler has to have you feeling exposed sometimes, right?
KANDICE KANE: I mean, yeah it used to especially when some of Jairās co workers are smart butts who like to sometimes drag me into online twitter fights just because I am dating him. Itās rather annoying, really. Reminds me of being back in high school except weāre grown, or at least I thought some of us were.
KALIYAH KANE: I feel like most of the guys in MMA are pretty much afraid of D so they donāt really include me in that type of stuffā¦. Except for Vo because you know he loves getting under Dās skin but he doesn't do it as much as he used to do it last year. I am proud of you, though. You have really came into your own.
Kandice blushes and you can tell that she is easily affected from being praised by her older sister.
KANDICE KANE: I mean, yeah it used to especially when some of Jairās co workers are smart butts who like to sometimes drag me into online twitter fights just because I am dating him. Itās rather annoying, really. Reminds me of being back in high school except weāre grown, or at least I thought some of us were.
KALIYAH KANE: Everything I do, I always try to be someone that Kandi can be proud of. Sheās actually one of my biggest motivators and was the main one saying that I should sign on to do the show. I already know Iāll probably run into some issues during filming but I know that no matter how I handle them, baby sis will be proud of me as always.
The scene fades.
YESHUA BANNER: This whole lifestyle change was something new for me, I didnāt expect once I Really opened up my life would change so quick. And to be honest it wasnāt for the worst because no matter what Iām still going to make a name for myself and get money, but I still felt weird.
Yeshua shrugs.
YESHUA BANNER: Hanging out with Richie Rich was cool, he was laid back and he was really helping me ease into this whole ābisexualā lifestyle and the good thing about him was we didnāt want a relationship, we both were cool with just having fun. But I needed to get some advice so I hit my homie Micah up and had him fly out to ATL so we could link up, make some music, money and I was hoping he could help me out since he recently came out of the closet as bisexual.
The scene opens up with Yeshua inside of the studio, Yeshua finishes up a few bars before placing the headphones on the table and walking out of the booth. He notices Micah walking in the studio and he greets him at the door.
YESHUA BANNER: Nigga.
The two dap each other up before walking back into the studio, they both walk over to the couch and sit down.
MICAH GRAY: Yeshua is the homie, Iāve known this dude for a while now and I have nothing but respect for him, so when he reached out and told me he needed me to fly out, I jumped on the first flight out. It gave me a chance to get away from work and have some fun.
Micah smiles rubbing his hands together.
MICAH GRAY: Plus we needed to catch up, so the studio was the perfect place, we could chill, smoke and make some music all at the same times.
Micah shrugs.
MICAH GRAY: Guess Iām not getting away from work after all.
The scene cuts back to Micah and Yeshua.
MICAH GRAY: Yeshua Bandz my nigga whatās good?
YESHUA BANNER: Shit the usual, you see where Iām at.
MICAH GRAY: I left the studio in LA and flew out here after I got your text. Everything alright out here?
YESHUA BANNER: Shit Iāve been chillin for real, working with some new artists and just keeping my mind on the music.
MICAH GRAY: Sounds like a good time, at least you away from the valley.
YESHUA BANNER: Yeah itās been alright for real, I even met me a shorty I Think I want to fuck with on some real shit.
MICAH GRAY: Oh damn itās like that?
YESHUA BANNER: It really is.
MICAH GRAY: I mean the ATL do produce some fine ass females, and they all got ass.
YESHUA BANNER: Uhh yeah thatās the thing.
MICAH GRAY: What?
YESHUA BANNER: Itās not a female, itās a dude.
MICAH GRAY: WHOA! Did I just hear that or am I tripping? Yeshua Gay? Nah that couldnāt be the case.
The scene cuts back to Yeshua and Micah.
MICAH GRAY: You fucking with me yo.
YESHUA BANNER: Iām dead ass right now.
MICAH GRAY: So why you never told me yo? I was just went through this shit a few months ago, we could have talked amongst each other.
YESHUA BANNER: Because I was still trying to figure it out myself, and I didnāt want to just talking about it when I didn't even know.
MICAH GRAY: Who is the guy?
YESHUA BANNER: I mean you probably already know him, his name is Noah August, but people know him as Richie Rich.
MICAH GRAY: I know of him but donāt know him personally, we hung around each other a few times back in LA but damn thatās crazy yāall talking. So does he live here or something?
YESHUA BANNER: He does, and weāve been kind of kicking it. But this nigga got me feeling a way, and I think I want to like fuck with him on some personal relationship shit.
MICAH GRAY: Damn, it's that serious yo? So have you always had feelings for dudes or was it something that just started? Because Iām confused as fuck right now, Iāve only seen you hang around bad bitches so for you to tell me it's a dude just threw me the fuck off.
YESHUA BANNER: Iām pretty sure this was out of left field but I couldnāt help how I was feeling, I think that's why I kind of wanted a second opinion and like I said before the fact that Micah went through the same thing made me feel comfortable to talk to him about it.
The scene cuts back to Yeshua and Micah.
YESHUA BANNER: I know it did, and thatās the thing I still fuck bitches, Iām still attracted to them which is why this whole Richie Rich thing is fucking me up, but I want to at least experience it to see whether or not it's something for me or not.
MICAH GRAY: I mean Iām down for the experience but bruh be careful, and try to take in consideration Richie Richās feelings because you donāt want him to fall in love with you and then one day you feel like that type of life is something you donāt want. He doesnāt deserve the pain and heās already comfortable with his sexuality.
YESHUA BANNER: Heās understanding, but I get it. And Iāll try not too.
MICAH GRAY: Thatās crazy you came at me with this shit, I would have never guessed it bruh. But just know Iām here you if you ever need to talk and I mean that shit, I know exactly how you feel right now.
YESHUA BANNER: I appreciate it bruh and Iāll keep that in mind, but whatās good wit you jumping on this track I just produced, I think a verse from you would make it even better.
MICAH GRAY: Light that ganja up, play that beat and Iāll freestyle over that bitch, you already know I got no filter.
YESHUA BANNER: Kill that shit.
Yeshua stands behind the production table while Micah steps into the booth, the beat drop and Micah starts to rap as the scene fades and reopens inside of Jalenās and Trappās apartment, Jalen is shown responding to an email on his phone while Trapp is shown writing down lyrics on his notepad.
TRAPP: That nigga Miles party was fucking insane, something told me not to attend but Jalen insisted on dragging me out of the house. I told Jalen I wasnāt about the drama and that I only came to Atlanta to fix our relationship and to get my career off the ground but I feel like with all the shit that's going on outside of my professional life was draining the fuck out of me.
The scene cuts to Trapp and Jalen.
JALEN HOLMES: I canāt believe Iām going to miss Jaserās party, I hope heās wont be mad at me. .
TRAPP: Yo Jalen are you fucking insane? Did you honestly think I was going to want to go to another party after that shit that went down at Miles party, I really donāt like being around your group of friends yo because all of them niggas is messy.
JALEN HOLMES: Nasir! You can't blame me for my friends actions, I canāt stop them from doing what they want to do.
TRAPP: You really calling these fools your friends though? I rarely see you hang around any of them nor talk to them, they fucking associates.
JALEN HOLMES: Thatās not true.
TRAPP: I felt like that whole thing was a fucking setup, Iām sure Miles knew that we all didnāt get along but instead he insisted that we all be in the same fucking environment.
JALEN HOLMES: I guess he thought maybe everyone would act accordingly and like adults.
JALEN HOLMES: I wasnāt saying that the fight that happened at Miles party was all Trappās fault, but he decided to engage in that bullshit when he clearly could have just walked away and not let it bother him. But I felt bad because I knew Trapp didnāt like being around shit like this.
Jalen sighs.
JALEN HOLMES: I just hope this incident wasnāt going to cause us to have problems again, because it seem like we were back on the right path to being a happy couple again.
The scene cuts back to Jalen and Trapp.
JALEN HOLMES: But Iām sorry that even went down.
TRAPP: Check ya nigga yo because I keep telling you and him Iām not about that talking shit, I throw these hands and ya boy Dallas was about to get hurt that night.
JALEN HOLMES: Heās not my boy and again I canāt control anyone else's actions but my own. Iām done with that whole situation and only focused on you so I donāt get what the issue is.
TRAPP: The issue is you fucked that nigga and now he hooked on the ass and donāt want to leave. But I wonāt allow him to disrespect me because you rather be with me than his punk ass, like I said check that nigga or Iāll do it and you wonāt like what the fuck I will do.
JALEN HOLMES: I hate that heās even a topic of our conversation right now, it's irrelevant.
TRAPP: TELL THAT BITCH! He the one who ran up on me like he was ready for a war that he clearly knows he would never win. All I know is Iām not rocking with your group of friend because they all fake, fuck them.
TRAPP: Right, fuck them. Iām letting Jalen know off rip that if he donāt handle this whole situation and that nigga then I will. Dallas canāt see me out in these streets without security around him so I donāt even want to face that nigga because itāll be pointless but what can happen is Jalen talking to him face to face and ending theyāre so called āFRIENDSHIPā for good.
The scene cuts back to Jalen and Trapp.
JALEN HOLMES: Can we talk about something else please? Like I really donāt want to fight with you tonight.
TRAPP: We not fighting bruh, but yeah we can.
JALEN HOLMES: I understood Trapp was mad, but again it wasnāt my fault. Iāve already told Dallas that I couldnāt pursue a relationship with him but after his actions at Miles party, Iām feeling like he still hasnāt moved on.
Jalen shrugs shaking his head.
JALEN HOLMES: Iām hungry bae, seafood please?
TRAPP: Yeah yo, letās roll.
Jalen grabs his items and the two head towards the door as the scene fades and reopens downtown ATLANTA, a beautiful building that houses lofts appear on the screen and outside Sean Williams is shown standing near his Range Rover, he takes one last hit of his cigarette before tossing it out on the street.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Yo itās your boy Sean Williams, a face you guys probably haven't seen grace your TV screens in a while. But guess what Iām back and ready to turn the fuck up.
Sean laughs.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Nah Iām joking, Iām a father and a businessman now so I hope I donāt put you to sleep. Anyway I recently relocated back home to Atlanta just so I could be closer to my son. I currently share custody with my mother in which she has full custody and while I was living in LA, it just made it difficult to constantly put him on a plane and fly him out to LA from Atlanta, so why not just moved here right and let me do the traveling.
Sean shakes his head.
SEAN WILLIAMS: It's draining since most of my work is in LA, but being in my sons life is important so sometimes you have to make these type of sacrifices. Since being back in Atlanta I kind of reconnected with an old friend, yeah I know this dude brought me so much hell back when we were messing around, but things have changed since the last time Iāve seen him and since heās been out of prison, I would hope he has changed his life for the better. I told him to meet me at my place since I had a business meeting later in the city, we had parks and little walkways that we could go on to kind of pastime and I guess catch up.
The scene cuts back to Sean who is still standing in front of his truck, he notices Vincent Banks walking down the street, and Sean smiles as he greets him halfway.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Hey Vin.
Sean leans in closer and the two hug.
VINCENT BANKS: Whatās good Mr. Williams? Been a long time.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Yes it has, I never thought we would ever have this moment again to be honest.
VINCENT BANKS: Me too, but we could make the best of it though, it's been awhile since weāve been around each other so Iām not trying to fight or anything.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I wouldnāt have agreed to meet you if I thought you were going to try and fight me or something.
VINCENT BANKS: So this is your crib?
Sean turns and looks at the house he is currently renting while in Atlanta, he smiles and shakes his head Yes.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Yes it is, it's a little something for right now, I donāt think Atlanta will be a permanent stay, it's just good for right now.
VINCENT BANKS: How is Christian?
SEAN WILLIAMS: Heās good, growing, and just smarter than your average kid. Iām so proud of that little boy.
VINCENT BANKS: He has good people in his life raising him, well I guess the next time you see him tell him his I said whatās up.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I will.
SEAN WILLIAMS: It was so weird how we could sit here and have a normal conversation like we didnāt try to kill each other back in the day. It's been years since Iāve been around Vincent or even talked to him. I remember the last time we talked on the phone it was right before he went to jail and at that time he threatened to kill me and have my son taken away from me.
Sean shrugs.
SEAN WILLIAMS: So with us standing here in front of each other and not hurting each other was a good step.
The scene cuts back to Sean and Vincent.
VINCENT BANKS: But Iām sure you want to know why I asked to meet you, so I guess we can jump right into that.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Should I be scared?
VINCENT BANKS: Nah, I think itāll go differently this time, we really donāt have to go much into detail because with these cameras and shit being here, it's making me uncomfortable already.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Just say what you feel man, I mean the other stuff can be discussed at another time.
VINCENT BANKS: I just wanted to apologize for real, the shit that went down between us was fucked up, I was being selfish and I got my sister involved and it just turned out ugly, now I feel bad for Christian because weāll have to explain all this shit he gets older. But I really fucked you with back in the day but we was getting all that money, and the drugs played a part and I donāt know I just got selfish yo.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Hearing him apologize was something I wanted to hear from him for the longest time and it felt good to hear it, I just hope he meant it. Vincent broke our trust a while ago so I would be lying if I said it was hard for me to really believe this is a sincere apology. But Iām open minded and we do have history, maybe opening the door slowly will help me decide whether or not I want him in my life or not.
The scene cuts back to Sean and Vincent.
VINCENT BANKS: I understand if you donāt believe it, but being in prison really changed me, and it opened my eyes to a lot of shit going on in my life and in the world. I donāt want that pain with you and I want us to be cool again.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Just cool right?
VINCENT BANKS: I mean I donāt know your dating life right now and I already know you not trying to go down that road again so yeah being cool is important to me. And plus I would like to be apart of my nephew's life so I would hope we could be cool.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Iām down for that, I donāt mind that at all. But Vincent understand that it's going to take time though, we went through a lot of shit and to be honest we really donāt have to discuss it anymore after this. Iām fine with the apology you gave me now and let's just see what happens with us in the future.
VINCENT BANKS: Well how about you let me make it up to you now, ya boy doing good out in these streets so let me take you somewhere nice.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Oh boy, good in these streets how?
VINCENT BANKS: I own a couple business, I wasnāt dumb yo, when I was locked up I had some money stashed that would hold me over until my businesses start pulling in the big money, but stop asking questions and let me just show you a good time.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Okay, sure.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I didnāt know what he had up his sleeve but if it's the Vincent I remember then I know itāll be something fun and interesting. That was one thing he was good at, being active and coming with surprises. That's why I said that we always didnāt share bad times, we had a lot of good times.
The scene cuts back to Vincent and Sean.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Iām actually going to pick Christian up later, so after we're done if you want you can see him.
VINCENT BANKS: That would be dope.
Sean smiles, he motions for Vincent to follow him and the two jump into the Range Rover, Sean starts the car up and drives off as the scene fades and reopens in Buckhead, Giovanniās is shown inside of his apartment staring at his phone.
GIOVANNI WESTON: So I woke up this morning to a text message from my best friendbest friend Miles saying he saw Isaiah hanging out with Delonte Fendi, now normally Iām not the type to make assumptions but this information was bothering me for some reason. I knew there were rumors going around that Isaiah wasnāt the faithful type but I wasnāt that nigga that would believe the rumors.
Giovanni shakes his head.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Now I knew Isaiah had history with this nigga but once we started kicking it he told me that he wasnāt involved with dude and that they were only associates. But fuck all that, I needed answers so I asked Isaiah to meet me at my crib, we were hanging out later anyway but this needed to be addressed now.
The scene cuts back to Giovanni standing inside of his apartment, a knock is heard at the door and Giovanni walks over to the front door letting Isaiah in, Isaiah goes to kiss Giovanni but Giovanni backs away and walks over to the kitchen.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Uhhh, whatās wrong?
GIOVANNI WESTON: Where was you at last night yo?
ISAIAH WOLFE: I told you where I was, I had an event to host and after I left I just went home and crashed.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Look yo, Iām not the jealous type so it's not even that, but I just donāt want to look like a fool.
ISAIAH WOLFE: GIo, what the fuck are you talking about?
GIOVANNI WESTON: So was you chilling with Delonte last night?
Isaiah rolls his eyes, he looks down at the floor and back up with Giovanni.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Okay Iām guilty and I wonāt sit here and lie to him either, yes I hung out with Delonte but it was only business. I get that Delonte and I hung out a few times but it was never anything sexually, we were just friends.
The scene cuts back to Isaiah and Giovanni.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Yes.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Why?
ISAIAH WOLFE: Because he was booked at the same club and at the same time I was, you do understand that it's multiple people this whole thing man, I canāt help who they book me with.
Isaiah walks over to Giovanni grabbing his hand.
ISAIAH WOLFE: You donāt have anything to worry about Gio, nothing happened. We hosted the party at the club and then when it was over, I went straight home.
GIOVANNI WESTON: I just remember you telling me yāall wasnāt cool like that but Miles said he saw yāall all cuddled up and shit.
ISAIAH WOLFE: And Isaiah is a fucking liar, why would I be cuddled up with someone in a club setting where I know people can take pictures and send them to you. Everyone knows weāre a couple Gio like what the fuck?
Isaiah shakes his head.
ISAIAH WOLFE: And Iām sick of Miles sticking his nose in my fucking business, in our business. I get that's your best friend but for some reason he has a problem with me. First he was going around saying I slept with everyone in Atlanta and now he saying he saw me in the club cuddled up with someone, like get the fuck out of here. Heās about to make me pull up on his ass and cause a problem.
GIOVANNI WESTON: I donāt want you around that nigga because Iām sure he trying to fuck with you.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Wait, are you making demands now? LIke I donāt like being told what I can and what I canāt do because you are not my parents and I am grown.
GIOVANNI WESTON: If you respect this relationship then you would stop.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Again it's not that I donāt trust Isaiah, I just donāt trust these dudes out here. Iām not about to sit around and be played by someone I care for so if I feel uncomfortable with you being around someone then you need to stop being around that person and thatās it.
The scene cuts back to Giovanni and Isaiah.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Look Gio you are trippin and Iām about to leave, I donāt like where this is going right now.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Thereās the door.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Are you fucking serious?
GIOVANNI WESTON: If you canāt stop being that niggas friend then I donāt know if I want to continue this relationship, I told you I wasnāt about that drama and that nigga is drama.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Fuck it.
ISAIAH WOLFE: If Gio wanted me to cut him off then Iāll cut him off, but this shit is ridiculous and Iām am over this whole situation. But what I do know is that the next time I see Miles I will make sure I let him know that he needs to stay the fuck out of my business or weāll have some problems, I donāt care if heās Gioās best friend or not.
The scene cuts back to Isaiah and Giovanni.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Iāll stop talking to him, but Iām still leaving because your attitude is so ignorant right now, text me when you not on your period anymore.
Before Giovanni could respond, Isaiah makes his way out the front door slamming it behind him, Giovanni stands there shaking his head as the scene fades and reopens up showing the outside of Jaser and Rileyās Halloween party as guests are lined up to get in. It shifts inside as people are shown dancing and taking shots as āLike It Aināt Nothingā by Fergie is playing. Jaiden and Lee are shown working the dj booth mixing and cutting tracks as the scene then shifts to a Confessional
JASER CRUZ: Itās the big night and everything is running smoothly. Everyoneās running around in costumes Iām giving my best purple rain Prince. Iām about to show everyone in the A how to actually throw a lit ass party.
it cuts to show Jaser draped on Riley's shoulder as he's holding up the phone snapchattinā to the world while they shout out the lyrics to the song and take a couple of shots before popping over to Riley in his confessional
RILEY:
Aiite, so here's the thingā¦ I actually waited til the last damn minute to even try looking for a costume. So I had to improviseā¦ā¦
he gives an innocent, wide-eyed look to the camera as it cuts to the party to show him in his ācostumeā..a thin robe with nothing but a pair of black boxer-briefs underneath...thot pocket.
JASER CRUZ: So whereās your boy at? Is he showing up tonight?
Jaser giggles and takes a sip of his drink. Riley shrugs.
RILEY:
JaĆ©shon? Man, I don't know. We didā¦ something. The shit was good but he started acting all weird after and hasn't hit me back yet, but I think it had something to do with Miles telling me he use to be a prostitute? Or maybe I'm just bugginā. Yooooo, your baby mama isn't coming right? Iād hate for your sister and my cousin to have to run up on her with witnesses around.
JASER CRUZ:I wouldnāt let that sway your opinion heās a cool dude. And yeah she might show up Iām not sure but if Amber or Rae wanna handle her thatās on them. Just keep me outta that shit man.
RILEY: Nah, I won't. Unlike others I got my own mind to make my own opinions about shit. You see Brit, you just walk the other way and come find me and we'll lose her.
JASER CRUZ:I wanted to believe that things with Brittany would smooth over but the way she moves thereās no telling. I swear this girl is out to get me.
Jaser shakes his head as the scene shifts to Confessional
JASER CRUZ:And now I got my older sister in my ear telling me I need to get Quin tested. Thereās no doubt in my mind that heās mine so thereās no need to. But I know I might need to for the long run.
the scene shifts back as the boys are greeted by guest, the music is playing loud as the scene shifts back outside. A large Mercedes Party Bus pulls up the venue and inside Chanel Snow, Giovanni Weston, Isaiah Wolfe, Legend Dior, and to everyoneās surprise Trinity Monroe are shown sitting on the bus, some taking shots while others Snapchatting away. Chanel pulls her mirror from her purse and starts fixing her hair.
CHANEL SNOW: This is going to be so interesting tonight, I donāt think Jaser knows Iām coming.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Well letās just hope he isnāt feeling himself tonight and tries anything stupid.
GIOVANNI WESTON: I donāt think this is a good idea, I already told yāall that Jaser said he didnāt want Chanel here and now heāll probably think I set him up or something.
TRINITY MONROE: Three real gag is gonna be us showing up together. When he invited me I told him I wouldn't be there if you were.
TRINITY MONROE: Now I'm not saying she and i are bffs. But I don't have time for drama anymore. In the spirit of moving on I decided to give her a chance and so far things have been ok. If that will last is a different story for another time. I'm just glad i don't have to hear about fraudulent funds anymore. No shade.
She chuckles as the scene fades back to the bus
ISAIAH WOLFE: You owe no loyalty to that boy, he constantly disrespects me and you want to be friends with this fraud? Like that really bothers me and plus he said you could bring whoever you wanted and Chanel is my plus one. Iām sure this party will be dry anyway so letās just make an appearance and then bounce.
GIOVANNI WESTON: I felt it in my gut that this night wasnāt going to go well. I didnāt know Chanel was coming, it was sprung on me out of nowhere and I couldnāt say no. I just hope Jaser doesnāt think Iām trying to be shady because I honestly wanted everyone to be friends.
The scene cuts back to inside the party bus.
CHANEL SNOW: Look, if Trinity and I can sit on the same bus and be cordial then I donāt see why we all canāt be in the same party and not have an issue. Jaser is the one with the issue still, Iāve moved on.
LEGEND DIOR: Well if Jalen ass show up, I canāt promise yāall I wonāt pop off.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Damn yāall still going at it?
LEGEND DIOR: He still mad I was hitting his side nigga the same time he was but itās whatever. Jalenās just a naive little boy and I donāt have time for it.
CHANEL SNOW: I donāt think heās coming, I havenāt talked to him since Miles party but after that whole incident Iām sure he knows your going to be here and who knows if Dallas will show up, thatās just trouble in itself.
TRINITY MONROE: Dallas won't be in attendance. He's actually locked up right now.
TRINITY MONROE: Dallas has kinda gotten out of control. It's been very hard to watch how he has been acting. All the fighting. His collection of mugshots is just growing.
She shakes her head disappointed
TRINITY MONROE: He was already dealing with that mess with Hadrian. They let him know that if he got in trouble again, he would be doing time. And that's where we are now
CHANEL SNOW: Damn no wonder he hasnāt responded to any text messages, I never saw him after the party, once the police showed up, I left.
TRINITY MONROE: Girl he called me from inside. He doesn't have many people he can call on. Y'all see how aggressive he can be. Nobody wants to be around him anymore. I just don't know what to do.
GIOVANNI WESTON: All yāall need to just chill out, like weāre all sitting here dressed up as characters, letās just have a drink and party.
LEGEND DIOR: Well wait is Miles even coming?
ISAIAH WOLFE: Who cares?
LEGEND DIOR: Oop the shade, I thought that was your mans best friend.
GIOVANNI WESTON: He is my best friend, but they have an issue with each other.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I donāt have an issue, he does. My name is always in his mouth and I rarely talk about him so I hope he isnāt.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Chill Isaiah.
LEGEND DIOR: We should probably start heading in.
CHANEL SNOW: Ugh I donāt want too.
TRINITY MONROE: Girl we here now.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Fuck it, letās just go.
CHANEL SNOW: I already know how this night is going to go, Iām going to walk in and shut the party down of course, Jaser will get jealous and try to pop off like a lunatic and Iāll have to knock him one good time in his mouth and call it night.
Chanel shrugs.
CHANEL SNOW: Iām ready for whatever baby.
The scene cuts back to inside the party where JaĆØshon Wood and his brother Blair Wood are shown standing by the bar. JaĆØshon takes another shot of his drink almost spilling the drink on his Nightcrawler costume.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I probably shouldnāt have had all those shots before the party, I am fucked up.
JaĆØshon shakes his head, he looks over at his brother who is staring off into the crowd not really paying attention to his brother.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Yo, you have been acting weird since I told you that shit like whatās wrong?
JAĆSHON WOOD: Blair hasnāt really been talking to me since I opened up to him about my past and I get why he hasnāt but I feel like now I need him more than ever. My life has been the topic of conversation recently between these group of people and I just didnāt understand why. I didnāt know everyone here so it was just weird to me that everyone was talking about it.
JaĆØshon shakes his head.
JAĆSHON WOOD: I figured Riley probably knew about it by now which is why Iāve been avoiding him. Iām just embarrassed about the whole situation and from what it seems like heās been entertaining his past also so I guess that just leaves me out the picture altogether.
The scene cuts back to JaĆØshon and Blair.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Bro, are you okay?
Blair shakes himself from his daze and throws back a shot.
BLAIR WOOD: wait what? Nah we good fam. You know I'm not really big on parties. This shit is packed too.
BLAIR WOOD: Me and Jae ain't really been right since he told me all that shit. I mean it was a lot to handle. And then on tv. Here I was blasting Hadrian for using our family for tv. And jae doing it too. But that's my brother. And eventually i know we gon be alright. Shit just awkward I guess
JAĆSHON WOOD: I just making sure you good thatās all and I know but itās Halloween so why not get out the house and have a little fun.
JaĆØshon smiles, the two click their drinks together and continue enjoying the party as the scene shifts back to the outside. Richie Rich and Yeshua are shown arriving dressed as characters from The Suicide Squad. The two step out the Uber and make their way pass the line and inside the party.
YESHUA BANNER: Another party, shit I hope it donāt get crazy like the last time.
RICHIE RICH: Iām here for the drinks.
YESHUA BANNER: And Iām here because you asked me too, man the things I do for you.
RICHIE RICH: And thatās why I like you.
Richie Rich smiles brushing his hand against Yeshuaās face.
RICHIE RICH: Thanks tho babe, it means a lot to me.
YESHUA BANNER: So do I get to meet some of your friends tonight or is it just us again?
RICHIE RICH: I honestly donāt know the group, Iāve met a few of them but it was only a one time thing really but I mean Iām up to mingling with some of the other group.
YESHUA BANNER: Alright thatās cool, well letās walk around and grab a drink.
The two grab drinks off the tray being carried around by the staff and the scene fades back to the front entrance of the event. Trazeno is shown traveling solo toward the bar.
TRAZENO BARNES: I ain't been out in a minute man. Shit been way too crazy. Fights with Dallas, court issues. I can't catch a break forreal. But tonight im not tryna think about none of that shit. Hadrian hit me up and told me about this party.
Zeno sips on his drink as he notices Legend standing by the other bar, he slowly moves his body through the crowd meeting up with Legend as the scene shifts to Kaliyah Kane makes her appearance finally with her baby sister, Kandice in tow as the two sisters enter the party in search for the men of the hour. Kaliyah was particularly excited like she normally gets around Jaser, the two being friend for so many years and finally reconnecting the last few months and able to catch up and resume their close friendship. Kandice was extremely proud that her older sister was able to reconnect with one of her closest and realest friends especially since Kaliyah had to cut friends off this year. Dressed like a sulty Egyptian Queen, Kaliyah stops for pictures and makes her way through the crowd as the Red Riding Hood dressed Kandice sticks close behind her. She spots Riley first and immediately heads that way as Jaser then comes into her view. Kandice waves at Riley while Kandice attacks Jaser with a bearhug.
KALIYAH KANE: Jase! Well damn, look at you.
She giggles at his costume with pure amusement.
JASER CRUZ: Purple Rain realness, what can I say. And look at you looking like a Egyptian goddess.
JaĆØshon is shown walking through the crowd, he notices Jaser and Kaliyah standing near each other and he slowly makes his way over. JaĆØshon greets the two with a wave.
JAĆSHON WOOD: Man this party is insane Jaser, thanks again for inviting me. I was actually looking for Riley but I Haven't seen him here tonight, is he here?
JASER CRUZ:Yeah heās around here somewhere. Knowing his ass he might be up at the bar.
The scene shifts out to Confessional
JASER CRUZ:I knew Riley was avoiding Jae. And to be honest it wasnāt my bidness. JaĆØ seemed like a cool guy so I thought theyād hit it off but itās whatevs. I didnāt think it mattered to Riley it was just the way Miles laid it out to him.
The scene cuts back to Jaser and JaĆØshon
JAĆSHON WOOD: Well If you see him could you let him know I was looking for him.
Before Jaser could answer, he turns and notices Chanel, Isaiah, and Giovanni standing near one of the VIP sections, the scene cuts over to them.
CHANEL SNOW: This party is so dry, Iām ready to go.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Yeah it is dull, I heard Laces is popping right now, we could go there.
CHANEL SNOW: Oh look who's making his way over here, I think itās Jaserās punk ass.
GIOVANNI WESTON: And yea he doesnāt look happy.
The scene shifts out to Confessional
JASER CRUZ:The balls on this bitch. You werenāt invited to my birthday party. Yet here comes your snake ass just slithering in here. I got something for that ass. Even though itās my birthday Iām the one handing out the hits and bitch your face is about to catch a few of them.
Jaser is shown laughing as the scene shifts back out to the party, Riley can be seen at the bar talking to Kandice as he notices Isaiah, Chanel and Gio and then sees Jaser heading their way.
RILEY:Ah hell nah.
Riley puts his drink down and runs towards Jaser. The scene cuts back Chanel and the remainder of the group are shown standing their ground, both Jaser and Riley reach the group.
