The scene opens in a driveway of lavish mansion in Calabasas. Cameras catch a view of a few old school cars along with a line of other vehicles before panning to the front door. As the door swings open, Supermodel and actress Alex Jacobs-Magnum is shown walking out of the door, she reaches into her Hermes bag and pulls out her cell phone putting it to her ear before the scene cuts to a confessional cam.
ALEX J: I'm here!
Alex smiles, winking at the camera. She runs her fingers through her hair.. I
ALEX J: After years of back and forth, I'm finally on board. Initially I wasn't going to even be apart of this, but anyone who knows AJ knows that I'm about that check! And let's just say I was offered something j couldn't refuse….
Alex smirks, playfully flipping her hair
ALEX J: Plus it just wouldn't have been crew love without me. Although I haven't really seen or talked to most of my “crew” since I got married.But that's a topic for another day. But it's always love on my end. I know we've all had a busy few years. I most certainly have. Up until about a week before I gave birth to my daughter I was busy bossing over at The World Wrestling Headquarters. Initially I was supposed to be making my return to the ring, but I found out about my little bun in the oven after my physical. So I ended up hosting my own pre show and aftershow over there. And then i woke up one morning to a call telling me that one of the General Managers had quit, and they wanted someone from the inside to come up and take his place. And that person just happened to be me. If I couldn't get in the ring myself, why not run the whole damn show huh?
She chuckles
ALEX J: The plan was to have my daughter, take a few months off and then jump right back in, but when she came out,I just couldn't see myself spending that much time away from her so early. So I hung up the towel and just focused on being s mom and a wife.
She giggles at her own comment
ALEX J: Who would have thought! Me married with children! Ha. I definitely never would've expected it. But I definitely wouldn't trade this life for anything. Motherhood is a gift I didn't know I needed. It's like everything I do now, it's for her. I want my daughter to have the family I so desperately craved growing up.
Alex tears up a bit. She wipes away the tear from her cheek and clears her throat
ALEX J: I lost both of my parents pretty young. I lost my mom when I was seven. And back then I didn't know what any of that meant. For a while I just knew that she was gone but not gone. I don't know if that makes sense. Didn't to me either but I just knew I'd never see her again. I didn't get all those Mommy daughter moments that all my friends used to gush about. And my dad was never really around. I had a lot of hate toward him up until a few year ago luckily we were able to put the past behind us, but unfortunately it was just too late. He died in a bad car wreck on his way to one of my fashion shows. Last year.
She wipes another tear from her cheek
ALEX J: i… I was crushed. And at that moment I knew I was alone forever. But my husband came in and he brought me our daughter. And I knew how to love again. Which is why I can stand strong today. It's been a journey. But I'm just glad to be back in the swing of things. And things have been great for the boss! I got this body snatched and I'm back on the runway! And when I tell you I missed it! And it's missed me! My biggest focus of course has been getting ready for fashion week! Which is what I'm doing now. I have to meet with my agent because apparently I have been booked to capacity this year.
She chuckles, shaking her head
ALEX J: She's back!!!!
She winks as the scene returns to Alex, who is now shown walking into Wilhelmina Modeling Agency. She makes her way to the elevators and heads to the fifth floor. Upon exciting she is greeted by an assistant who escorts her to her agents office. She smiles and follows behind. They enter the office where Alex is greeted by her agent, Kelly.
KELLY: I'm so glad you could make it AJ! Make yourself comfortable. Can I get you a bottle of water?
ALEX J: Please! Thanks.
Kelly walks over to the mini fridge and pulls out a bottle of fiji water, handing it to Alex. Alex takes a seat on one side of the desk.
KELLY: So what's going on?! How's baby Elexa?
ALEX J: She's awesome! At home with Daddy right now. So I'm sure she's being spoiled to death.
The two giggle.
ALEX J: How are you though! I'm so glad we could finally get together! It's been too long.
KELLY: Way too long Alex! The industry has missed you lady! Did you get to see the Vogue piece yet?
ALEX J: I did! And I loved it! But Vogue always does me justice.
ALEX J: when I had Elexa, of course all the major publications were there to try and get their first pics. But Elijah and I really wanted to have at least one part of our lives be personal. For just us. So we took every precaution to keep her out of the light, at least in the beginning. We just wanted to enjoy a simple pleasure. But when we were finally ready to show our baby girl to the word, Vogue wanted the exclusive. And they've been so good to me throughout my career so we gave it to them. They did an amazing family spread and I finally got to see it! I was so in love! So big shoutouts to Vogue…. I'M REALLY SITTING WITH ANNA!
She smirks as the scene returns to the office
KELLY: Now Alex Are you ready for everything I have coming at you?
ALEX J: Bring it on! What do you got for me?
KELLY: Let's talk fashion week girl!
ALEX J: Let's!
The two continue chatting as the scene fades and reopens outside the Wine and Dine restaurant where Braelyn is shown walking in.
BRAELYN MONROE: I'm actually walking in the restaurant now, I don't know if he's here because I don't know if he drives the same car. He switches cars like he changes clothes and thats alot.
The scene opens up with Braelyn making her way into Wine and Dine, a small upscale restaurant located in downtown LA. Braelyn meets up with the host and the two walk towards a table closer to the window with a view of the city outside. Braelyn places her bag beside her and she sits down still holding the phone to her ear.
BRAELYN MONROE: I don't even know why I'm meeting with Jules, it's going to be the same old bullshit. He'll have some excuse on why he disappeared again but this time around I won't be the fool and take him back.
Braelyn pauses.
BRAELYN MONROE: At least I hope not.
Braelyn sighs.
BRAELYN MONROE: Anyway I'm in LA for a few days but i'm trying to see you asap, so when I leave her i'll come over to your place. But I think I see him walking in so I'll just hit your phone when I'm on the way.
Braelyn disconnects the call and places the phone on the table. She notices Jules walking in and she smiles, she waves to get his attention and he walks over. Braelyn gets up to greet Jules by giving him a hug only before sitting back down.
BRAELYN MONROE: So here we are, yet again. It's been some months and I'm randomly hearing from you.
Not wasting any time Braelyn dives into conversation.
BRAELYN MONROE: But you asked to meet me here so I guess I should let you talk.
JULES ERVING: Hey, yeah nice to see you too B.
Jules says jokingly, before taking his seat.
JULES ERVING: I’m glad you even agreed to meet me to be honest, I appreciate it. But I wanted to meet up because I was missing you, wanted see how it’s been going?
BRAELYN MONROE: You miss me one week and gone the next. I appreciate that Jules but I’ve heard all this before.
Braelyn looks at Jules trying to stay mad at him, but in reality she missed him too.
BRAELYN MONROE: But like I’m said, I’m here.
Jules flashes his pearly white smile for a second and nods.
JULES ERVING: Yeah you are, look I know things there’s no amount of apologizing I can do to make up for all that time I missed. So that’s not what I asked you here for. I just wanted to leave you with something, grab a quick bite or drink and leave you with some words to at least consider.
BRAELYN MONROE: And once again I’m here, if I didn’t care enough then I would have ignored the invitation and went on about my business, but I didn’t.
Braelyn looks at Jules and cracks a half smile, she reaches across the table and grabs ahold of his hand.
BRAELYN MONROE: But what’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with this situation? It’s like you feed me these half promises and then disappear.
Jules grips her and hand and licks his lips.
JULES ERVING: Nothing is wrong with you Brae, the situation was broken because of me. You always been my little rider mane, my little Bonnie and shit forever with me. But that brings me to this...You know that little street shit I told you about with Sauce and them boys back home in Texas? Some things went sort of, well shit hit the fan and I had to dip up out. Everytime I’d pop my head back up, it’d get hot again. I couldn’t have nobody targeting you, just because they see you with me on a daily. Rather of lose you with the chance of getting you back than to lose you lose you.
Jules smiles
JULES ERVING: But the difference between then and now, is that situation got handled and dealt with. I been staying with Sauce and them been helping me get my feet back up Brae, and with no distractions I really want to come through on those promises.
BRAELYN MONROE: Look Jules I’ll have to think about it this time around, I have way to much going on in my life to play these games with you. We can take it slow and see where it goes.
Braelyn flips her hair to the side, she removes her hand from Jules and she grabs her phone and purse.
BRAELYN MONROE: My plan was to play hard to get, I wasn’t about to let Jules come back into my life again and then disappear again, the longer i stayed and listened to his broken promises would only be setting myself up for failure and I just can’t do that right now, what I will do is entertain him but as for taking it serious, well that’ll take some time.
The scene cuts back to Braelyn and Jules
BRAELYN MONROE: Look I forgot I had a class today at my dance studio, if your not busy later then maybe you can come chill at my house.
JULES ERVING:
BRAELYN MONROE: I’ll talk to you later.
Braelyn smiles as she blows a kiss towards Jules, she gets up from the table and walks towards the exit leaving Jules alone, the scene fades and reopens inside of Sky Towsend’s Valley Home. Sky is shown standing outside on her balcony admiring the view, she walks over to the grill where some hamburgers and hot dogs are cooking and she starts flipping them.
SKY TOWNSEND: It’s been a minute since I’ve hung out with my girl Jada, she wants to be all antisocial and live on the other side of the planet. Tampa that is! The good thing is she did say she was looking for a second home here in LA since she does a lot of work here, I mean duh it would only make sense if she had one instead of spending so much money on hotels or crashing on my couch.
Sky shrugs.
SKY TOWNSEND: But that’s my girl and if she wants to crash on my couch then crash all you want.
The scene cuts back to Sky still on her patio, the scene then cuts to outside where Jada is shown pulling up in convertible Jeep wrangler, she pulls into the driveway and hops out of the car.
JADA MONTANA: I’m back in LA doing some work and of course I had to stop by and see my girl Sky, it's been a few weeks since we’ve hung out and i know we both been in need of some friend time.
The scene cuts back to Jada making her way towards the patio, in her hand she holds a bottle of wine and walks out the door meeting up with Sky.
JADA MONTANA: It smells good out here.
SKY TOWNSEND: Now you know I can cook girl, don’t play. I’ve missed you Jada, give me a hug.
Jada walks over to Sk and gives her a big hug before sitting down on one of the benches.
SKY TOWNSEND: How long are you here for this time?
JADA MONTANA: Probably a week and then I’m going back to Tampa, I have a real estate agent looking at properties for me right so hopefully I find something before I leave.
SKY TOWNSEND: You just need to make that move, I mean your family is here so I don’t understand why you don’t just move here.
JADA MONTANA: I love Florida, but we’ll see. Anyway what’s been new with you? Jeremiah was telling me about some party he’s having, are you going?
SKY TOWNSEND: Of course I’ll be there, it wouldn’t be a party if I wasn’t.
JADA MONTANA: Well I’m sure it’ll be a crazy one, Jeremiah is known for throwing those. Do you know whose all coming?
SKY TOWNSEND: I guess the same group of people, well have basically the same friends.
JADA MONTANA: Is he inviting Alex?
Sky rolls her eyes.
SKY TOWNSEND: Uhhh I wouldn’t think so, and I that would definitely kill the mood of the party.
SKY TOWNSEND: I could careless if Alex J came or not, yeah we may have put our issues to the side but were still not friends and honestly I don’t like the way she’s been treating Jada lately, Jada may not see it but I do.
The scene cuts back to Sky and Jada, Sky takes a seat beside Jada and pours herself a bottle of wine. She takes a minute before she starts speaking again.
SKY TOWNSEND: Look I know thats your girl and all, but I just think the party would be a lot better if she wasn't there.
JADA MONTANA: I thought you two were good though, I mean we all hung out since you squash your beef.
SKY TOWNSEND: That was off the strength of you, I wouldn’t have done it alone. I don’t have issues with her, but I mean honestly she isn’t a real friend. What friend hides a pregnancy from their bestfriend, she didn’t even invite you to the hospital and you two barely interact anymore.
Sky shrugs.
SKY TOWNSEND: If you ask me that’s not a friend. Alex thinks she’s better than everyone around her but truly she’s not, she’s washed up and hasn’t really done anything in a long time. I get she may have her endorsements but sweetie that’s all she really has because I don’t see her walking any runways.
JADA MONTANA: We always do Victoria Secrets.
SKY TOWNSEND: So cliche and normal, what model doesn’t or hasn’t done that show, I’ve done that show numerous of times and yes it's nice bag but that’s all she really has.
SKY TOWNSEND: To be honest Alex use to be one of the biggest models in her day, but now she’s just like the rest, a distant memory.
The scene cuts back to Sky and Jada.
JADA MONTANA: Well I still consider her my friend, even though you did make some valid points, I don’t think she has a problem with me, and if she does then the next time I run into her I’ll address it.
SKY TOWNSEND: Well goodluck with that.
JADA MONTANA: Sky did make some valid points, I was one of the last to find out about Alex’s pregnancy and even after she had the baby I only got one chance to see her, but the thing with Alex and I is that we started in this business together and we are really good friends, I just think we need to sit down and have a talk.
The scene cuts back to the two.
JADA MONTANA: I’ll reach out to her while I’m here in LA and if she has the time, then we’ll sit down and talk. But speaking of talking, what about you and Mya?
SKY TOWNSEND: I would sit down and talk with Mya, even though I felt betrayed by her, we can talk.
SKY TOWNSEND: Good ole’ Mya Snow was another one I had an issue with, we were suppose to go into a business venture together because of her boyfriend at the time didn’t like the idea, she decided to pull out last minute. I would have been cool with it if she would have given me a heads up but not show up to one of the most important business meetings in my life was just wrong, since then we haven’t really spoke.
Sky shrugs, shaking her head in disgust.
SKY TOWNSEND: But it's whatever because I know who my real friends are at the end of the day.
The scene cuts back to the two, by this time both are working on their second glass of wine.
JADA MONTANA: I just remember how we were all so close and now it's like everyone is separated, i just want us to get back to that.
SKY TOWNSEND: It's to many egos and influences happening amongst this group and until that changes, the divide will stay the same.
JADA MONTANA: Yeah and that's what sucks.
Jada shakes her head, Sky jumps up from the chair and walks back over to the girl to finish cooking, the scene fades and reopens outside of Jeremiah’s home. The producers are shown standing outside the door banging on the door and yelling for Jeremiah to open.
PRODUCER 1: He won’t open the door now and he is refusing to film.
PRODUCER 2: He was fine just a minute ago and now it’s an issue that we’re here.
PRODUCER 1: All I know is he got into a verbal altercation with a friend and things went left after that, he told us we had to leave and then his maid said he was going on a drug binge.
PRODUCER 2: This isn’t good, I have to talk to get in there and talk to him.
Both producers stand on the outside still banging on the door yelling for Jeremiah to open, a few minutes go by and finally the scene fades inside where Jeremiah is shown sitting in his living room smoking on a cigarette.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: These last few months have been rough for me, not financially but mentally I wasn’t all the way out together. I was dealing with some demons and the people around me weren’t helping at all.
The scene cuts back to Jeremiah, he gets up from the couch and ashes the cigarette in the ashtray in the table. He makes his way into the bedroom where one of his good friends Bobby Lash is shown tending to a bruise on his arm.
BOBBY LASH: You have to control your hoes man, that girl got me real good.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: She wants me to commit and i just can’t do that right now.
BOBBY LASH: Well I won’t always be around to save you from these ass whoopings these chicks be trying to give you.
Jeremiah shrugs.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Oh well she’s gone now and she got what she was looking for.
Jeremiah lets out a huge groan.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Fuck! I forgot about this party coming up.
BOBBY LASH: Oh yeah that’s right, this weekend right?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Yes
BOBBY LASH: And tell me again what’s this party for?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: It’s nothing special, I just wanted to put something together for all us, well only the close people in my life.
BOBBY LASH: It sounds fun and that’s what I need right now is a good party to attend.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: You and me both.
BOBBY LASH: Are you inviting everyone?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I put everyone’s name on the list.
BOBBY LASH: Damn, even ole girl’s name?
Jeremiah nods.
BOBBY LASH: Oh this is a sight I have to see, count me in.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I mean I don’t hold onto grudges, life’s to short for that nonsense at the end of the day but if anyone want a problem then bring it.
BOBBY LASH: Most definitely, I agree.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: This party coming up was going to be my way of seeing who would show up and who my real friends were, even tho we all had some issues, this night was important to me so those issues need to be set aside.
The scene cuts back to the two.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Like I said I’m about having fun tonight, this party is like my welcoming back to the outside world, so many people tried to drag my name through the mud and I’m still standing.
BOBBY LASH: You got this bro.
Jeremiah smiles and the two continue talking as the scene fades and reopens in Calabasas, CA. Chase Westbrook is shown standing near of wardrobe stylists helping him prepare for his runway walk tonight. He stands there as she measures his legs while another walks up to him showing him different sets of clothes, he shakes his heads towards some while the others he frowns.
CHASE WESTBROOK: Let me tell you I never thought I would be back in this position after the drama I went through these last few years but to be standing in a warehouse prepping for a runway show makes me believe miracles can really happen.
Chase sighs.
CHASE WESTBROOK: For two years I dated a guy who wanted to control my life, he kept me from my family and he made me think I was nothing in this world, but that’s changed and now that I’m free, I’m back to doing what I love and that’s modeling and fashion. Tonight an up and coming fashion designer is hosting a small show in LA and asked me if I would be one of his top models to walk the show, I figured this would be a good start to get my foot back in the door. I asked my sister Rayne to stop by, I haven’t seen her in months, I didn’t even get to see her get married but I’m so happy for her.
The scene cuts back to Chase, by this time the door swings open and Rayne Westbrook-Pierce is shown walking through the door, glasses on, she sees her brother and rushes over to him losing her shit, it's been a while since the two seen each other so this meeting was very much needed.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Brother!!! You look good!
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: It's really been way too long since I've seen either of my brothers. We all kinda went through these crazy situations that kinda pulled us all apart. But things have been much better for us all so it's time to get back to family. I really missed my little dorks.
The scene returns to the two. Rayne grabs Chase and pulls him in for another hug
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: I really missed you goober.
CHASE WESTBROOK: That name is the worst, you're still a dork I see. Where is Miles? I thought he was coming with you.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: I never told you that. But thanx for ruining the surprise buttmunch…
Rayne jabs him in his arm. Moments later the door swings open and Miles walks in with a wide grin in his face.
MILES WESTBROOK: Surprise!
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Oh shut up, he already knows…
MILES WESTBROOK: You just can't keep your mouth closed.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: I didn't say anything. It was him.
Miles hugs them both.
MILES WESTBROOK: Westbrooks! What's good family?
CHASE WESTBROOK: I guess he forgets we have mutual friends and one of his friends told me that he was in town which I thought was weird he would visit them before us, but hey thats family right?
Chase gives off a smirk.
CHASE WESTBROOK: Anyway, it's good to finally have everyone in the building but where is this husband of yours Rayne?
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: He's at home. You guys will meet him soon. Everyone will. Yall know how I am so I hope yall werent expecting some big stupid wedding.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: My dad was mortified when he found out Pharaoh and I got married in Vegas. But they all know me. I'm not one for all that jazz and hoorah shit. When I model, that's a different story. I'm doing a job. But Rayne is not a big flashy lamour girl. Weddings are stupid. He and exchanged ring pops and called it a day. We were literally filming the life and we happened to be in Vegas and he brought up the first day we met. And he dared me to marry him. So here we are luckily I'm totally in love with him or this would probably suck.
The scene returns to the family.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: So anyway. Catch me up goobers! What's been going on with you guys….Oh em gee!
She grabs her phone and jumps up and takes a quick candid selfie of herself with her brothers.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Dad's gonna flip! Ok. Anyway what's going on?
MILES WESTBROOK: Welp. I might as well tell you guys since its gonna come out anyway…. I kinda flunked out.
Rayne immediately bursts out laughing.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Good job bro.
CHASE WESTBROOK: Damn I’m sorry to hear that man, I guess we all been going through some shit.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: You had one job man.
MILES WESTBROOK: I know right. But it's whatever. I kinda wasn't feeling it anyway.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Does dad know?
MILES WESTBROOK: Hell no! He'd lower my allowance if he knew. I'm gonna tell him eventually. But I'm not really ready to start working yet.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Hes gonna kill you!
CHASE WESTBROOK: Damn Rayne take it easy on him, I’m sure this is eating him alive right now.
MILES WESTBROOK: I'll deal with that when I have to.
CHASE WESTBROOK: I would make it sooner than later, you already know how he can be.
MILES WESTBROOK: I know, I know.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Deal with it.
Miles shakes his head, the scene changes inside of Illusions. Chase Stevens stood in front of a mirror backstage. He smiled and nodded his head in approval.
CHASE STEVENS: Yeah I like that right there.
CHASE STEVENS: What's up world, whats up Crew Love. Its ya boy Chase Stevens. Now.. I know right about your all thinking “Who the hell is that?” Well I like to refer to myself as the New Blood. The producers felt the need to shake things up so and here I am.
Chase smirked and let out a chuckle.
CHASE STEVENS: And no, it's not because I go way back wit Sky. I worked my ass off building connections and getting where I am. So take me in, I'm not going anywhere.
The scene cuts back to inside of the club, Chase is shown running around handling different jobs inside the club, the scene cuts to the outside where a sky blue Bentley GT Coupe pulls up to the front, the scene cuts inside where Sky is shown looking at herself in the mirror, she applies some makeup to her face before placing it back inside of her bag.
SKY TOWNSEND: I got a phone call from an old friend the other day letting me know he was back in LA Fulltime, I’m guessing he had his own club or something and wanted to know if I could help him with some of the renovations or remodelling that he’s been thinking about doing, well besides fashion everyone knows my interior design skills are off the chain so I can see why he wanted to work with me.
Sky smiles brushing her hair to the side.
SKY TOWNSEND: I had some free time and need something to do so I didn’t mind stopping by to hear some of his ideas and maybe offer a few of mine.
The scene cuts back to Sky exiting her car, she grabs ahold of her XR and Clutch bag and she slowly makes her way towards the entrance.
SKY TOWNSEND: He definitely needs some decor out here, it's so plain jane. Ugh, these men wouldn’t be able to live without us.
Sky walks inside of the club, she waves and smiles at a few of the workers already inside and she notices Chase standing by the bar. She makes her way over greeting him with a hug and air kiss to cheek.
SKY TOWNSEND: Ah, Chase it’s been so long. Looking handsome as always, how are you?
CHASE STEVENS: What's up gurl. I'm doing good. Looking good yourself...well nothing new there. I appreciate you taking time out your day to help me out. I know you stay crazy busy these days.
CHASE STEVENS: I asked Sky to come out cause I was given the opportunity to launch a new Illusions night club in the city. I know how to make myself look good but this place is rough. I need a little bit of that Sky Towsend magic. Plus big opening comes big money, who can say no to that?
The scene shifts back to Chase as he walks Sky to the couch. He rubbed his chin for a second.
CHASE STEVENS: How have things been for you? It's been a good minute since I seen you.
SKY TOWNSEND: I’ve been busy, very busy. I don’t walk runways anymore but I still do spreads here and there, Plus I have multiple businesses so you know how that goes.
SKY TOWNSEND: I have so much going on in my life right now I don’t think I can take on anymore responsibility, but like I said Chase is a good friend so I guess I’ll hear him out.
The scene cuts back to the two.
SKY TOWNSEND: The size of this place is beautiful, I didn’t know you owned a club!
CHASE STEVENS: I don't own the club. It’s Jason Shields spot. His club on the other side of town has been shut down twice by the Fire Marshal for being over capacity. If I can get this off on a rocket launch It'll be a huge win for me.
CHASE STEVENS: Since leaving Atlanta my music career hasn't been the success like I hoped. I had a few hits but everything came crashing down all around me just as fast as it took off. I still stay in the studio but this new club is needed.
The scene cuts back to the two.
CHASE STEVENS: So what you think? Help an ol friend out?
SKY TOWNSEND: I do have some free time coming up, so I guess I can help you. I’ll make a few calls in the morning, get some investors on the line and see if we can bring some more money in and quick, just to get this place up and running.
Sky looks around one last time me.
SKY TOWNSEND: It’s in decent shape I guess, it may only need a few fix ups but this won’t be hard to handle, but what’s in it for me?
CHASE STEVENS: 75% of my take.
CHASE STEVENS: That's a hell of a lot of money. Then again this a lot of work. If it was anyone else it wouldn't be close to that, this isn't just anyone.
Chase looked at her for a moment wondering what she would say..
SKY TOWNSEND: That sounds good to me, and once we’re done we can throw this huge GRAND REOPENING and we can only invite the elite, because we want people to spend money.
Sky smirks.
SKY TOWNSEND: I’ll invite a few of my friends and you invite some of yours, preferably single.
CHASE STEVENS: I know just who to invite. They are single and spend money like its water. You’ll be securing a big bag. Thanks for this Sky.
He stood up and first gave a handshake as a Business Partner, then a hug as a friend.
CHASE STEVENS: Make sure yo girls got big booties. I miss Atlanta.
He smiled and laughed.
SKY TOWNSEND: Funny! I only present the best.
Sky smiles as she grabs her things, she gives Chase another hug and she heads for the exits. The scene fades and reopens on the inside of a decked out Bachelor's pad. Cameras pan through the loft into a gameroom filled with several old school arcade machines a table hockey game, and a pool table. Seated in front of a 90 inch flat screen television, is model, and musician, Hassan Wolfe. He sits Indian style in an oversized recliner next to his best friend Tyler. The two are shown talking and laughing as they eat popcorn
HASSAN WOLFE: What is good world. I am the kid. The babyface. The good guy. Its ya boy Hassan. Some of you know me as the model that worked his way from taking pictures in my bathroom mirror in Baltimore for Instagram to walking in some of the biggest shows in the industry. And then some of yall know me as the ex boyfriend of Alex J. She and I met backstage at New York fashion week. And we kinda vibed instantly. Both of us were coming out of breakups. So we were both rebounds for each other. But we ended up really fucking with each other. I moved from Baltimore to LA so we could be closer cuz she had told me she was pregnant. I was gonna be a dad.
He pause shaking his head.
HASSAN WOLFE:]/b] and that's when shit really hit the fan. We started fighting all the time.
Images and clips of their very public relationship are shown on the screen, ending with the TMZ article publicizing the fight that led to Alex J's miscarriage. The scene then returns to Hassan's confessional.
HASSAN WOLFE: If you let anyone tell you the story, I hit Alex, and knocked her down, causing the miscarriage. But that's definitely not the case. Even Alex did a public interview to put that rumor to bed. But it didnt stop people from looking me over for jobs. Essentially I was kinda blackballed from the industry for a little while. Everyone was afraid to work with me. That was until they saw that Alex and I were friends again. Then all the calls started coming back in and now it became people only wanted to work with me so they could get more of the story. So I kinda just backed away from the industry as a whole for about a year and now I'm back..kinda starting from the ground up. And it's been a challenge. But I've always been one to accept and conquer and and all challenges that stand in my way.
The scene returns to his home.
HASSAN WOLFE: This movie is mad trash man.
TYLER: What did you expect bro. The remakes are always garbage.
HASSAN WOLFE: I'm sharp.. but I kinda had high expectations for this one. The preview was super lit.
TYLER: And it showed you the whole movie. When will they learn.
HASSAN WOLFE: Facts bro.
TYLER: Oh man. I forgot to tell you. I got that gig.
HASSAN WOLFE: ayyye! Word? That's wussup bro. Does Carissa know yet?
TYLER: Yea bro and she's tripping heavy. I got a feeling we're gonna be done soon man.
HASSAN WOLFE: Why? I thought yall were good.
TYLER: I thought so too. But something been off man. She been procrastinating on this move. I been tryna get her to come out to LA for months now.
HASSAN WOLFE: It was the dream to come to LA though!
TYLER: Exactly! We all been saying that shit since middle school. I guess me and you was the only ones serious bout the shit.
HASSAN WOLFE: Man she has been playing. I think shes just upset that we left first. I mean we did say together.
TYLER: I'm sharp! But our circumstances were different. You were about to have a baby and I was in school. We asked her to come. She wasnt ready.
HASSAN WOLFE: Facts bro. This is why I tried to tell yall asses dont fuck up the trio! But yall just had to go fuck and fall in love. I tried to tell yall.
TYLER: Man fuck you!
Hassan chuckles as Tyler throws a small handful of popcorn at him
HASSAN WOLFE: I'm just saying man. I talked to her the other day. Yall two are the most. She wants to come so bad. I think shes just scared she wont make it out here in LA.
TYLER: But she dont need to take that out on our relationship.
HASSAN WOLFE: Girls are different from you gotta just ignore how she says shit and just hear what shes saying. Take it from me bro. I swear if I took my own advice. I think shit woulda went different for me.
HASSAN WOLFE: A lot of me still holds on to regret of the way things ended between Alex and I. Granted we're still friends and all, part of me still wonders what life would have been like if we didn't end the way we did. Would she be Mrs. Wolfe?
the scene returns to the two
TYLER: I don't know man. We'll figure it out. But what's going on with you bro. You been way off the radar lately.
HASSAN WOLFE: I was man. I don't think I was ready how fast everything hit me. Ya know? Like I knew AJ was famous. But I didn't realize how famous she was.
HASSAN WOLFE: Alex was my first public relationship. I was a regular dude and I think paparazzi ate that shit up. Everybody wanted to know who this random ass man was that she was dating. I mes. Before me, everyone shes ever been linked to has been a huge celebrity in some way. I had never had hundreds of cameramen in my face all day, people being interested in the smallest shit like me walking to the mailbox. Dumb shit. And because I wasnt eased into the life it kinda overwhelmed me soni just laid low for a minute
The scene returns to the two.
TYLER: Have you talked to her since you moved .
HASSAN WOLFE: Not recently. I mean I commented on one of her Instagram pics or some shit and we had a little conversation, but they're usually brief. We're cool. But I mean she got her life. I got mine.
TYLER: I feel you man. I was kinda rooting for yall too. Shawty a lil bad.
The two chuckle as they continue chatting. The scene fades and reopens up at Avalon Hollywood, the shows a crowded a club inside and out. The scene fades inside where Jeremiah Kingston is shown getting dressed in one of the rooms in the back. Standing on side of him is his good friend Yeshua Bandz who is already dressed down in Gucci everything.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: You showing out tonight bruh.
YESHUA BANDZ: I mean this is a huge moment for you, I had to make sure I was fresh all the way down to my shoes yo.
YESHUA BANDZ: I haven’t kicked it with Jeremiah in a while so when he told me he was throwing a party for his sobriety, I made sure i was present. I know the little homie has been through a lot so I just wanted him to know he had friends out here that support him and want to be there for him.
The scene cuts back to Yeshua and Jeremiah.
YESHUA BANDZ: Who else is coming though? I know Jada coming, but any word from Alex?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Nah why would I? We haven’t talked in months.
YESHUA BANDZ: I thought you guys were back to being cool, I could have sworn I saw something between you two on social media.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Social media isn’t communicating, we were suppose to be friends, and friends talk face to face, or on the phone, not just through social media. That’s whack!
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Whether Alex shows up or not, that’s not my concern tonight. The only thing I was worried about was having fun and proving to not only the world but to myself that I can live a clean sober life.
The scene cuts back the two, Jeremiah finishes getting dressed. After he finishes the two make their way out to the main dance floor, they head over to VIP where a table is already set up filled with decorations and alcohol. Jeremiah grabs a drink and pours both him and Yeshua a shot and the two take them to the head.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I may not be doing hard drugs but thank God for alcohol.
YESHUA BANDZ: Now I’m not trying to sound like an asshole when I say this but I could have sworn that being sober meant no to everything, drugs and alcohol.
Yeshua shrugs.
YESHUA BANDZ: Well maybe drugs was a problem for him, who knows but who am I to judge, let’s turn up.
The scene cuts back to Yeshua and Jeremiah, the music plays in the background and the club is now packed to full capacity, the scene cuts to the entrance where both Jada and Sky are shown entering the building.
SKY TOWNSEND: I didn’t know Jeremiah knew this many people.
JADA MONTANA: I doubt he does, but if the people here are here to really support him then that’s all that matters.
JADA MONTANA: I know Jeremiah has been dealing with some personal demons lately so him having this party is like a release for him, I won’t say to much of what he was going through but I will say I’m happy he’s better now.
The scene cuts back to the two, Both Jada and Sky make it to the vip area where they meet up with Jeremiah and Yeshua, the two are greeted with shots.
JADA MONTANA: Y’all already turned up I see, it’s so loud in here.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: It is a club.
YESHUA BANDZ: Yo it’s so many people in here.
SKY TOWNSEND: That’s a good thing though, they’re all here to support you.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I don’t know half of these people in here but who cares, I’m here to have fun.
The scene cuts to the outside where a black Porsche 911 is shown pulling up, inside Braelyn Monroe is shown fixing her hair one last time before hopping out and handing the keys to the valet, she smiles as she walks passed people who are still waiting in line and she makes her way inside the building.
BRAELYN MONROE: I’ve known Jeremiah a few years now, we met when we both wrestled for Pride Pro and since then we’ve hung out a few times, I mostly see him he hangs out with my best friend Brandon so we already had a connection there. Jeremiah invited me to this sober party so I decided to show face and show my support. I wasn’t to sure how his other friends would accept me since I’ve had issues with a few of them in the past, but tonight it wasn’t about that, it was about Jeremiah and him making changes in his life.
The scene cuts back to Braelyn, she walks inside grabbing a shot from one of the servers near the door, she heads over to the VIP section meeting with the rest of the group, she gives them all hugs and air kisses before making herself another drink.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Thanks for coming Brae.
BRAELYN MONROE: Of course love, I wouldn’t have missed this party because I know how important it is to you.
JADA MONTANA: Who else is coming?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Where is Mya?
SKY TOWNSEND: She’s actually at a shoot right now, but she said once it wraps up she would swing by if it wasn’t too late.
YESHUA BANDZ: Have y’all heard from Alex?
Braelyn rolls her eyes.
BRAELYN MONROE: Oh? She’s coming?
BRAELYN MONROE: It’s obvious that me and this girl have some sort of issue.
Braelyn pauses.
BRAELYN MONROE: Let me rephrase that, she has an issue with me and I don’t even know her. I’m guessing she’s jealous of how close Jeremiah and I have become but that’s not my problem and she needs to get over it.
The scene cuts back to Braelyn and the rest of the group, they all start dancing as a Lil Baby plays through the speakers, more drinks are being poured as the scene cuts back to the outside. Alex J is shown climbing out of her matte black Rolls-Royce. She hands her key to the valet along with a cash tip. She makes her way into the venue.
ALEX J: I'm actually really surprised Jeremiah extended an invite to me for his party. He and i haven't really been speaking and if you leave it to him, I'm to blame. But since he invited me, i figured maybe he wanted to put whatever this is behind us. I literally have no problems with him, nor anyone else from the group for that matter, but we'll see how this goes i guess.
The scene returns to the venue. Alex J is shown approaching the group. She spots Jeremiah and awkwardly smiles in his direction.
ALEX J: Mr. Kingston!
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Oh look who decides to show her face.
Jeremiah gives off a sarcastic smile as he leans in for a hug. Barelyn rolls her eyes and starts to sip on her drink, while Sky and Jada still dance along to the music.
ALEX J: Of course I came. You invited me.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Look I was happy that Alex decided to show up to my event, we haven’t really talked in months, I did send her flowers after she gave birth to her daughter but other then that there really hasn’t been any type of communication. But since she did show tonight, I’ll save her the drama and let her enjoy her time but trust we will have a conversation soon.
The scene cuts back to the party. Alex directs her attention to Jada and Sky.
ALEX J: What's going on guys
ALEX J: I feel like I walked into a lion's den.
Alex takes a deep breath as she approaches the group and the scene fades.
ALEX J: I'm here!
Alex smiles, winking at the camera. She runs her fingers through her hair.. I
ALEX J: After years of back and forth, I'm finally on board. Initially I wasn't going to even be apart of this, but anyone who knows AJ knows that I'm about that check! And let's just say I was offered something j couldn't refuse….
Alex smirks, playfully flipping her hair
ALEX J: Plus it just wouldn't have been crew love without me. Although I haven't really seen or talked to most of my “crew” since I got married.But that's a topic for another day. But it's always love on my end. I know we've all had a busy few years. I most certainly have. Up until about a week before I gave birth to my daughter I was busy bossing over at The World Wrestling Headquarters. Initially I was supposed to be making my return to the ring, but I found out about my little bun in the oven after my physical. So I ended up hosting my own pre show and aftershow over there. And then i woke up one morning to a call telling me that one of the General Managers had quit, and they wanted someone from the inside to come up and take his place. And that person just happened to be me. If I couldn't get in the ring myself, why not run the whole damn show huh?
She chuckles
ALEX J: The plan was to have my daughter, take a few months off and then jump right back in, but when she came out,I just couldn't see myself spending that much time away from her so early. So I hung up the towel and just focused on being s mom and a wife.
She giggles at her own comment
ALEX J: Who would have thought! Me married with children! Ha. I definitely never would've expected it. But I definitely wouldn't trade this life for anything. Motherhood is a gift I didn't know I needed. It's like everything I do now, it's for her. I want my daughter to have the family I so desperately craved growing up.
Alex tears up a bit. She wipes away the tear from her cheek and clears her throat
ALEX J: I lost both of my parents pretty young. I lost my mom when I was seven. And back then I didn't know what any of that meant. For a while I just knew that she was gone but not gone. I don't know if that makes sense. Didn't to me either but I just knew I'd never see her again. I didn't get all those Mommy daughter moments that all my friends used to gush about. And my dad was never really around. I had a lot of hate toward him up until a few year ago luckily we were able to put the past behind us, but unfortunately it was just too late. He died in a bad car wreck on his way to one of my fashion shows. Last year.
She wipes another tear from her cheek
ALEX J: i… I was crushed. And at that moment I knew I was alone forever. But my husband came in and he brought me our daughter. And I knew how to love again. Which is why I can stand strong today. It's been a journey. But I'm just glad to be back in the swing of things. And things have been great for the boss! I got this body snatched and I'm back on the runway! And when I tell you I missed it! And it's missed me! My biggest focus of course has been getting ready for fashion week! Which is what I'm doing now. I have to meet with my agent because apparently I have been booked to capacity this year.
She chuckles, shaking her head
ALEX J: She's back!!!!
She winks as the scene returns to Alex, who is now shown walking into Wilhelmina Modeling Agency. She makes her way to the elevators and heads to the fifth floor. Upon exciting she is greeted by an assistant who escorts her to her agents office. She smiles and follows behind. They enter the office where Alex is greeted by her agent, Kelly.
KELLY: I'm so glad you could make it AJ! Make yourself comfortable. Can I get you a bottle of water?
ALEX J: Please! Thanks.
Kelly walks over to the mini fridge and pulls out a bottle of fiji water, handing it to Alex. Alex takes a seat on one side of the desk.
KELLY: So what's going on?! How's baby Elexa?
ALEX J: She's awesome! At home with Daddy right now. So I'm sure she's being spoiled to death.
The two giggle.
ALEX J: How are you though! I'm so glad we could finally get together! It's been too long.
KELLY: Way too long Alex! The industry has missed you lady! Did you get to see the Vogue piece yet?
ALEX J: I did! And I loved it! But Vogue always does me justice.
ALEX J: when I had Elexa, of course all the major publications were there to try and get their first pics. But Elijah and I really wanted to have at least one part of our lives be personal. For just us. So we took every precaution to keep her out of the light, at least in the beginning. We just wanted to enjoy a simple pleasure. But when we were finally ready to show our baby girl to the word, Vogue wanted the exclusive. And they've been so good to me throughout my career so we gave it to them. They did an amazing family spread and I finally got to see it! I was so in love! So big shoutouts to Vogue…. I'M REALLY SITTING WITH ANNA!
She smirks as the scene returns to the office
KELLY: Now Alex Are you ready for everything I have coming at you?
ALEX J: Bring it on! What do you got for me?
KELLY: Let's talk fashion week girl!
ALEX J: Let's!
The two continue chatting as the scene fades and reopens outside the Wine and Dine restaurant where Braelyn is shown walking in.
BRAELYN MONROE: I'm actually walking in the restaurant now, I don't know if he's here because I don't know if he drives the same car. He switches cars like he changes clothes and thats alot.
The scene opens up with Braelyn making her way into Wine and Dine, a small upscale restaurant located in downtown LA. Braelyn meets up with the host and the two walk towards a table closer to the window with a view of the city outside. Braelyn places her bag beside her and she sits down still holding the phone to her ear.
BRAELYN MONROE: I don't even know why I'm meeting with Jules, it's going to be the same old bullshit. He'll have some excuse on why he disappeared again but this time around I won't be the fool and take him back.
Braelyn pauses.
BRAELYN MONROE: At least I hope not.
Braelyn sighs.
BRAELYN MONROE: Anyway I'm in LA for a few days but i'm trying to see you asap, so when I leave her i'll come over to your place. But I think I see him walking in so I'll just hit your phone when I'm on the way.
Braelyn disconnects the call and places the phone on the table. She notices Jules walking in and she smiles, she waves to get his attention and he walks over. Braelyn gets up to greet Jules by giving him a hug only before sitting back down.
BRAELYN MONROE: So here we are, yet again. It's been some months and I'm randomly hearing from you.
Not wasting any time Braelyn dives into conversation.
BRAELYN MONROE: But you asked to meet me here so I guess I should let you talk.
JULES ERVING: Hey, yeah nice to see you too B.
Jules says jokingly, before taking his seat.
JULES ERVING: I’m glad you even agreed to meet me to be honest, I appreciate it. But I wanted to meet up because I was missing you, wanted see how it’s been going?
BRAELYN MONROE: You miss me one week and gone the next. I appreciate that Jules but I’ve heard all this before.
Braelyn looks at Jules trying to stay mad at him, but in reality she missed him too.
BRAELYN MONROE: But like I’m said, I’m here.
Jules flashes his pearly white smile for a second and nods.
JULES ERVING: Yeah you are, look I know things there’s no amount of apologizing I can do to make up for all that time I missed. So that’s not what I asked you here for. I just wanted to leave you with something, grab a quick bite or drink and leave you with some words to at least consider.
BRAELYN MONROE: And once again I’m here, if I didn’t care enough then I would have ignored the invitation and went on about my business, but I didn’t.
Braelyn looks at Jules and cracks a half smile, she reaches across the table and grabs ahold of his hand.
BRAELYN MONROE: But what’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with this situation? It’s like you feed me these half promises and then disappear.
Jules grips her and hand and licks his lips.
JULES ERVING: Nothing is wrong with you Brae, the situation was broken because of me. You always been my little rider mane, my little Bonnie and shit forever with me. But that brings me to this...You know that little street shit I told you about with Sauce and them boys back home in Texas? Some things went sort of, well shit hit the fan and I had to dip up out. Everytime I’d pop my head back up, it’d get hot again. I couldn’t have nobody targeting you, just because they see you with me on a daily. Rather of lose you with the chance of getting you back than to lose you lose you.
Jules smiles
JULES ERVING: But the difference between then and now, is that situation got handled and dealt with. I been staying with Sauce and them been helping me get my feet back up Brae, and with no distractions I really want to come through on those promises.
BRAELYN MONROE: Look Jules I’ll have to think about it this time around, I have way to much going on in my life to play these games with you. We can take it slow and see where it goes.
Braelyn flips her hair to the side, she removes her hand from Jules and she grabs her phone and purse.
BRAELYN MONROE: My plan was to play hard to get, I wasn’t about to let Jules come back into my life again and then disappear again, the longer i stayed and listened to his broken promises would only be setting myself up for failure and I just can’t do that right now, what I will do is entertain him but as for taking it serious, well that’ll take some time.
The scene cuts back to Braelyn and Jules
BRAELYN MONROE: Look I forgot I had a class today at my dance studio, if your not busy later then maybe you can come chill at my house.
JULES ERVING:
BRAELYN MONROE: I’ll talk to you later.
Braelyn smiles as she blows a kiss towards Jules, she gets up from the table and walks towards the exit leaving Jules alone, the scene fades and reopens inside of Sky Towsend’s Valley Home. Sky is shown standing outside on her balcony admiring the view, she walks over to the grill where some hamburgers and hot dogs are cooking and she starts flipping them.
SKY TOWNSEND: It’s been a minute since I’ve hung out with my girl Jada, she wants to be all antisocial and live on the other side of the planet. Tampa that is! The good thing is she did say she was looking for a second home here in LA since she does a lot of work here, I mean duh it would only make sense if she had one instead of spending so much money on hotels or crashing on my couch.
Sky shrugs.
SKY TOWNSEND: But that’s my girl and if she wants to crash on my couch then crash all you want.
The scene cuts back to Sky still on her patio, the scene then cuts to outside where Jada is shown pulling up in convertible Jeep wrangler, she pulls into the driveway and hops out of the car.
JADA MONTANA: I’m back in LA doing some work and of course I had to stop by and see my girl Sky, it's been a few weeks since we’ve hung out and i know we both been in need of some friend time.
The scene cuts back to Jada making her way towards the patio, in her hand she holds a bottle of wine and walks out the door meeting up with Sky.
JADA MONTANA: It smells good out here.
SKY TOWNSEND: Now you know I can cook girl, don’t play. I’ve missed you Jada, give me a hug.
Jada walks over to Sk and gives her a big hug before sitting down on one of the benches.
SKY TOWNSEND: How long are you here for this time?
JADA MONTANA: Probably a week and then I’m going back to Tampa, I have a real estate agent looking at properties for me right so hopefully I find something before I leave.
SKY TOWNSEND: You just need to make that move, I mean your family is here so I don’t understand why you don’t just move here.
JADA MONTANA: I love Florida, but we’ll see. Anyway what’s been new with you? Jeremiah was telling me about some party he’s having, are you going?
SKY TOWNSEND: Of course I’ll be there, it wouldn’t be a party if I wasn’t.
JADA MONTANA: Well I’m sure it’ll be a crazy one, Jeremiah is known for throwing those. Do you know whose all coming?
SKY TOWNSEND: I guess the same group of people, well have basically the same friends.
JADA MONTANA: Is he inviting Alex?
Sky rolls her eyes.
SKY TOWNSEND: Uhhh I wouldn’t think so, and I that would definitely kill the mood of the party.
SKY TOWNSEND: I could careless if Alex J came or not, yeah we may have put our issues to the side but were still not friends and honestly I don’t like the way she’s been treating Jada lately, Jada may not see it but I do.
The scene cuts back to Sky and Jada, Sky takes a seat beside Jada and pours herself a bottle of wine. She takes a minute before she starts speaking again.
SKY TOWNSEND: Look I know thats your girl and all, but I just think the party would be a lot better if she wasn't there.
JADA MONTANA: I thought you two were good though, I mean we all hung out since you squash your beef.
SKY TOWNSEND: That was off the strength of you, I wouldn’t have done it alone. I don’t have issues with her, but I mean honestly she isn’t a real friend. What friend hides a pregnancy from their bestfriend, she didn’t even invite you to the hospital and you two barely interact anymore.
Sky shrugs.
SKY TOWNSEND: If you ask me that’s not a friend. Alex thinks she’s better than everyone around her but truly she’s not, she’s washed up and hasn’t really done anything in a long time. I get she may have her endorsements but sweetie that’s all she really has because I don’t see her walking any runways.
JADA MONTANA: We always do Victoria Secrets.
SKY TOWNSEND: So cliche and normal, what model doesn’t or hasn’t done that show, I’ve done that show numerous of times and yes it's nice bag but that’s all she really has.
SKY TOWNSEND: To be honest Alex use to be one of the biggest models in her day, but now she’s just like the rest, a distant memory.
The scene cuts back to Sky and Jada.
JADA MONTANA: Well I still consider her my friend, even though you did make some valid points, I don’t think she has a problem with me, and if she does then the next time I run into her I’ll address it.
SKY TOWNSEND: Well goodluck with that.
JADA MONTANA: Sky did make some valid points, I was one of the last to find out about Alex’s pregnancy and even after she had the baby I only got one chance to see her, but the thing with Alex and I is that we started in this business together and we are really good friends, I just think we need to sit down and have a talk.
The scene cuts back to the two.
JADA MONTANA: I’ll reach out to her while I’m here in LA and if she has the time, then we’ll sit down and talk. But speaking of talking, what about you and Mya?
SKY TOWNSEND: I would sit down and talk with Mya, even though I felt betrayed by her, we can talk.
SKY TOWNSEND: Good ole’ Mya Snow was another one I had an issue with, we were suppose to go into a business venture together because of her boyfriend at the time didn’t like the idea, she decided to pull out last minute. I would have been cool with it if she would have given me a heads up but not show up to one of the most important business meetings in my life was just wrong, since then we haven’t really spoke.
Sky shrugs, shaking her head in disgust.
SKY TOWNSEND: But it's whatever because I know who my real friends are at the end of the day.
The scene cuts back to the two, by this time both are working on their second glass of wine.
JADA MONTANA: I just remember how we were all so close and now it's like everyone is separated, i just want us to get back to that.
SKY TOWNSEND: It's to many egos and influences happening amongst this group and until that changes, the divide will stay the same.
JADA MONTANA: Yeah and that's what sucks.
Jada shakes her head, Sky jumps up from the chair and walks back over to the girl to finish cooking, the scene fades and reopens outside of Jeremiah’s home. The producers are shown standing outside the door banging on the door and yelling for Jeremiah to open.
PRODUCER 1: He won’t open the door now and he is refusing to film.
PRODUCER 2: He was fine just a minute ago and now it’s an issue that we’re here.
PRODUCER 1: All I know is he got into a verbal altercation with a friend and things went left after that, he told us we had to leave and then his maid said he was going on a drug binge.
PRODUCER 2: This isn’t good, I have to talk to get in there and talk to him.
Both producers stand on the outside still banging on the door yelling for Jeremiah to open, a few minutes go by and finally the scene fades inside where Jeremiah is shown sitting in his living room smoking on a cigarette.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: These last few months have been rough for me, not financially but mentally I wasn’t all the way out together. I was dealing with some demons and the people around me weren’t helping at all.
The scene cuts back to Jeremiah, he gets up from the couch and ashes the cigarette in the ashtray in the table. He makes his way into the bedroom where one of his good friends Bobby Lash is shown tending to a bruise on his arm.
BOBBY LASH: You have to control your hoes man, that girl got me real good.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: She wants me to commit and i just can’t do that right now.
BOBBY LASH: Well I won’t always be around to save you from these ass whoopings these chicks be trying to give you.
Jeremiah shrugs.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Oh well she’s gone now and she got what she was looking for.
Jeremiah lets out a huge groan.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Fuck! I forgot about this party coming up.
BOBBY LASH: Oh yeah that’s right, this weekend right?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Yes
BOBBY LASH: And tell me again what’s this party for?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: It’s nothing special, I just wanted to put something together for all us, well only the close people in my life.
BOBBY LASH: It sounds fun and that’s what I need right now is a good party to attend.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: You and me both.
BOBBY LASH: Are you inviting everyone?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I put everyone’s name on the list.
BOBBY LASH: Damn, even ole girl’s name?
Jeremiah nods.
BOBBY LASH: Oh this is a sight I have to see, count me in.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I mean I don’t hold onto grudges, life’s to short for that nonsense at the end of the day but if anyone want a problem then bring it.
BOBBY LASH: Most definitely, I agree.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: This party coming up was going to be my way of seeing who would show up and who my real friends were, even tho we all had some issues, this night was important to me so those issues need to be set aside.
The scene cuts back to the two.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Like I said I’m about having fun tonight, this party is like my welcoming back to the outside world, so many people tried to drag my name through the mud and I’m still standing.
BOBBY LASH: You got this bro.
Jeremiah smiles and the two continue talking as the scene fades and reopens in Calabasas, CA. Chase Westbrook is shown standing near of wardrobe stylists helping him prepare for his runway walk tonight. He stands there as she measures his legs while another walks up to him showing him different sets of clothes, he shakes his heads towards some while the others he frowns.
CHASE WESTBROOK: Let me tell you I never thought I would be back in this position after the drama I went through these last few years but to be standing in a warehouse prepping for a runway show makes me believe miracles can really happen.
Chase sighs.
CHASE WESTBROOK: For two years I dated a guy who wanted to control my life, he kept me from my family and he made me think I was nothing in this world, but that’s changed and now that I’m free, I’m back to doing what I love and that’s modeling and fashion. Tonight an up and coming fashion designer is hosting a small show in LA and asked me if I would be one of his top models to walk the show, I figured this would be a good start to get my foot back in the door. I asked my sister Rayne to stop by, I haven’t seen her in months, I didn’t even get to see her get married but I’m so happy for her.
The scene cuts back to Chase, by this time the door swings open and Rayne Westbrook-Pierce is shown walking through the door, glasses on, she sees her brother and rushes over to him losing her shit, it's been a while since the two seen each other so this meeting was very much needed.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Brother!!! You look good!
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: It's really been way too long since I've seen either of my brothers. We all kinda went through these crazy situations that kinda pulled us all apart. But things have been much better for us all so it's time to get back to family. I really missed my little dorks.
The scene returns to the two. Rayne grabs Chase and pulls him in for another hug
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: I really missed you goober.
CHASE WESTBROOK: That name is the worst, you're still a dork I see. Where is Miles? I thought he was coming with you.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: I never told you that. But thanx for ruining the surprise buttmunch…
Rayne jabs him in his arm. Moments later the door swings open and Miles walks in with a wide grin in his face.
MILES WESTBROOK: Surprise!
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Oh shut up, he already knows…
MILES WESTBROOK: You just can't keep your mouth closed.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: I didn't say anything. It was him.
Miles hugs them both.
MILES WESTBROOK: Westbrooks! What's good family?
CHASE WESTBROOK: I guess he forgets we have mutual friends and one of his friends told me that he was in town which I thought was weird he would visit them before us, but hey thats family right?
Chase gives off a smirk.
CHASE WESTBROOK: Anyway, it's good to finally have everyone in the building but where is this husband of yours Rayne?
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: He's at home. You guys will meet him soon. Everyone will. Yall know how I am so I hope yall werent expecting some big stupid wedding.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: My dad was mortified when he found out Pharaoh and I got married in Vegas. But they all know me. I'm not one for all that jazz and hoorah shit. When I model, that's a different story. I'm doing a job. But Rayne is not a big flashy lamour girl. Weddings are stupid. He and exchanged ring pops and called it a day. We were literally filming the life and we happened to be in Vegas and he brought up the first day we met. And he dared me to marry him. So here we are luckily I'm totally in love with him or this would probably suck.
The scene returns to the family.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: So anyway. Catch me up goobers! What's been going on with you guys….Oh em gee!
She grabs her phone and jumps up and takes a quick candid selfie of herself with her brothers.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Dad's gonna flip! Ok. Anyway what's going on?
MILES WESTBROOK: Welp. I might as well tell you guys since its gonna come out anyway…. I kinda flunked out.
Rayne immediately bursts out laughing.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Good job bro.
CHASE WESTBROOK: Damn I’m sorry to hear that man, I guess we all been going through some shit.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: You had one job man.
MILES WESTBROOK: I know right. But it's whatever. I kinda wasn't feeling it anyway.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Does dad know?
MILES WESTBROOK: Hell no! He'd lower my allowance if he knew. I'm gonna tell him eventually. But I'm not really ready to start working yet.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Hes gonna kill you!
CHASE WESTBROOK: Damn Rayne take it easy on him, I’m sure this is eating him alive right now.
MILES WESTBROOK: I'll deal with that when I have to.
CHASE WESTBROOK: I would make it sooner than later, you already know how he can be.
MILES WESTBROOK: I know, I know.
RAYNE WESTBROOK•PIERCE: Deal with it.
Miles shakes his head, the scene changes inside of Illusions. Chase Stevens stood in front of a mirror backstage. He smiled and nodded his head in approval.
CHASE STEVENS: Yeah I like that right there.
CHASE STEVENS: What's up world, whats up Crew Love. Its ya boy Chase Stevens. Now.. I know right about your all thinking “Who the hell is that?” Well I like to refer to myself as the New Blood. The producers felt the need to shake things up so and here I am.
Chase smirked and let out a chuckle.
CHASE STEVENS: And no, it's not because I go way back wit Sky. I worked my ass off building connections and getting where I am. So take me in, I'm not going anywhere.
The scene cuts back to inside of the club, Chase is shown running around handling different jobs inside the club, the scene cuts to the outside where a sky blue Bentley GT Coupe pulls up to the front, the scene cuts inside where Sky is shown looking at herself in the mirror, she applies some makeup to her face before placing it back inside of her bag.
SKY TOWNSEND: I got a phone call from an old friend the other day letting me know he was back in LA Fulltime, I’m guessing he had his own club or something and wanted to know if I could help him with some of the renovations or remodelling that he’s been thinking about doing, well besides fashion everyone knows my interior design skills are off the chain so I can see why he wanted to work with me.
Sky smiles brushing her hair to the side.
SKY TOWNSEND: I had some free time and need something to do so I didn’t mind stopping by to hear some of his ideas and maybe offer a few of mine.
The scene cuts back to Sky exiting her car, she grabs ahold of her XR and Clutch bag and she slowly makes her way towards the entrance.
SKY TOWNSEND: He definitely needs some decor out here, it's so plain jane. Ugh, these men wouldn’t be able to live without us.
Sky walks inside of the club, she waves and smiles at a few of the workers already inside and she notices Chase standing by the bar. She makes her way over greeting him with a hug and air kiss to cheek.
SKY TOWNSEND: Ah, Chase it’s been so long. Looking handsome as always, how are you?
CHASE STEVENS: What's up gurl. I'm doing good. Looking good yourself...well nothing new there. I appreciate you taking time out your day to help me out. I know you stay crazy busy these days.
CHASE STEVENS: I asked Sky to come out cause I was given the opportunity to launch a new Illusions night club in the city. I know how to make myself look good but this place is rough. I need a little bit of that Sky Towsend magic. Plus big opening comes big money, who can say no to that?
The scene shifts back to Chase as he walks Sky to the couch. He rubbed his chin for a second.
CHASE STEVENS: How have things been for you? It's been a good minute since I seen you.
SKY TOWNSEND: I’ve been busy, very busy. I don’t walk runways anymore but I still do spreads here and there, Plus I have multiple businesses so you know how that goes.
SKY TOWNSEND: I have so much going on in my life right now I don’t think I can take on anymore responsibility, but like I said Chase is a good friend so I guess I’ll hear him out.
The scene cuts back to the two.
SKY TOWNSEND: The size of this place is beautiful, I didn’t know you owned a club!
CHASE STEVENS: I don't own the club. It’s Jason Shields spot. His club on the other side of town has been shut down twice by the Fire Marshal for being over capacity. If I can get this off on a rocket launch It'll be a huge win for me.
CHASE STEVENS: Since leaving Atlanta my music career hasn't been the success like I hoped. I had a few hits but everything came crashing down all around me just as fast as it took off. I still stay in the studio but this new club is needed.
The scene cuts back to the two.
CHASE STEVENS: So what you think? Help an ol friend out?
SKY TOWNSEND: I do have some free time coming up, so I guess I can help you. I’ll make a few calls in the morning, get some investors on the line and see if we can bring some more money in and quick, just to get this place up and running.
Sky looks around one last time me.
SKY TOWNSEND: It’s in decent shape I guess, it may only need a few fix ups but this won’t be hard to handle, but what’s in it for me?
CHASE STEVENS: 75% of my take.
CHASE STEVENS: That's a hell of a lot of money. Then again this a lot of work. If it was anyone else it wouldn't be close to that, this isn't just anyone.
Chase looked at her for a moment wondering what she would say..
SKY TOWNSEND: That sounds good to me, and once we’re done we can throw this huge GRAND REOPENING and we can only invite the elite, because we want people to spend money.
Sky smirks.
SKY TOWNSEND: I’ll invite a few of my friends and you invite some of yours, preferably single.
CHASE STEVENS: I know just who to invite. They are single and spend money like its water. You’ll be securing a big bag. Thanks for this Sky.
He stood up and first gave a handshake as a Business Partner, then a hug as a friend.
CHASE STEVENS: Make sure yo girls got big booties. I miss Atlanta.
He smiled and laughed.
SKY TOWNSEND: Funny! I only present the best.
Sky smiles as she grabs her things, she gives Chase another hug and she heads for the exits. The scene fades and reopens on the inside of a decked out Bachelor's pad. Cameras pan through the loft into a gameroom filled with several old school arcade machines a table hockey game, and a pool table. Seated in front of a 90 inch flat screen television, is model, and musician, Hassan Wolfe. He sits Indian style in an oversized recliner next to his best friend Tyler. The two are shown talking and laughing as they eat popcorn
HASSAN WOLFE: What is good world. I am the kid. The babyface. The good guy. Its ya boy Hassan. Some of you know me as the model that worked his way from taking pictures in my bathroom mirror in Baltimore for Instagram to walking in some of the biggest shows in the industry. And then some of yall know me as the ex boyfriend of Alex J. She and I met backstage at New York fashion week. And we kinda vibed instantly. Both of us were coming out of breakups. So we were both rebounds for each other. But we ended up really fucking with each other. I moved from Baltimore to LA so we could be closer cuz she had told me she was pregnant. I was gonna be a dad.
He pause shaking his head.
HASSAN WOLFE:]/b] and that's when shit really hit the fan. We started fighting all the time.
Images and clips of their very public relationship are shown on the screen, ending with the TMZ article publicizing the fight that led to Alex J's miscarriage. The scene then returns to Hassan's confessional.
HASSAN WOLFE: If you let anyone tell you the story, I hit Alex, and knocked her down, causing the miscarriage. But that's definitely not the case. Even Alex did a public interview to put that rumor to bed. But it didnt stop people from looking me over for jobs. Essentially I was kinda blackballed from the industry for a little while. Everyone was afraid to work with me. That was until they saw that Alex and I were friends again. Then all the calls started coming back in and now it became people only wanted to work with me so they could get more of the story. So I kinda just backed away from the industry as a whole for about a year and now I'm back..kinda starting from the ground up. And it's been a challenge. But I've always been one to accept and conquer and and all challenges that stand in my way.
The scene returns to his home.
HASSAN WOLFE: This movie is mad trash man.
TYLER: What did you expect bro. The remakes are always garbage.
HASSAN WOLFE: I'm sharp.. but I kinda had high expectations for this one. The preview was super lit.
TYLER: And it showed you the whole movie. When will they learn.
HASSAN WOLFE: Facts bro.
TYLER: Oh man. I forgot to tell you. I got that gig.
HASSAN WOLFE: ayyye! Word? That's wussup bro. Does Carissa know yet?
TYLER: Yea bro and she's tripping heavy. I got a feeling we're gonna be done soon man.
HASSAN WOLFE: Why? I thought yall were good.
TYLER: I thought so too. But something been off man. She been procrastinating on this move. I been tryna get her to come out to LA for months now.
HASSAN WOLFE: It was the dream to come to LA though!
TYLER: Exactly! We all been saying that shit since middle school. I guess me and you was the only ones serious bout the shit.
HASSAN WOLFE: Man she has been playing. I think shes just upset that we left first. I mean we did say together.
TYLER: I'm sharp! But our circumstances were different. You were about to have a baby and I was in school. We asked her to come. She wasnt ready.
HASSAN WOLFE: Facts bro. This is why I tried to tell yall asses dont fuck up the trio! But yall just had to go fuck and fall in love. I tried to tell yall.
TYLER: Man fuck you!
Hassan chuckles as Tyler throws a small handful of popcorn at him
HASSAN WOLFE: I'm just saying man. I talked to her the other day. Yall two are the most. She wants to come so bad. I think shes just scared she wont make it out here in LA.
TYLER: But she dont need to take that out on our relationship.
HASSAN WOLFE: Girls are different from you gotta just ignore how she says shit and just hear what shes saying. Take it from me bro. I swear if I took my own advice. I think shit woulda went different for me.
HASSAN WOLFE: A lot of me still holds on to regret of the way things ended between Alex and I. Granted we're still friends and all, part of me still wonders what life would have been like if we didn't end the way we did. Would she be Mrs. Wolfe?
the scene returns to the two
TYLER: I don't know man. We'll figure it out. But what's going on with you bro. You been way off the radar lately.
HASSAN WOLFE: I was man. I don't think I was ready how fast everything hit me. Ya know? Like I knew AJ was famous. But I didn't realize how famous she was.
HASSAN WOLFE: Alex was my first public relationship. I was a regular dude and I think paparazzi ate that shit up. Everybody wanted to know who this random ass man was that she was dating. I mes. Before me, everyone shes ever been linked to has been a huge celebrity in some way. I had never had hundreds of cameramen in my face all day, people being interested in the smallest shit like me walking to the mailbox. Dumb shit. And because I wasnt eased into the life it kinda overwhelmed me soni just laid low for a minute
The scene returns to the two.
TYLER: Have you talked to her since you moved .
HASSAN WOLFE: Not recently. I mean I commented on one of her Instagram pics or some shit and we had a little conversation, but they're usually brief. We're cool. But I mean she got her life. I got mine.
TYLER: I feel you man. I was kinda rooting for yall too. Shawty a lil bad.
The two chuckle as they continue chatting. The scene fades and reopens up at Avalon Hollywood, the shows a crowded a club inside and out. The scene fades inside where Jeremiah Kingston is shown getting dressed in one of the rooms in the back. Standing on side of him is his good friend Yeshua Bandz who is already dressed down in Gucci everything.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: You showing out tonight bruh.
YESHUA BANDZ: I mean this is a huge moment for you, I had to make sure I was fresh all the way down to my shoes yo.
YESHUA BANDZ: I haven’t kicked it with Jeremiah in a while so when he told me he was throwing a party for his sobriety, I made sure i was present. I know the little homie has been through a lot so I just wanted him to know he had friends out here that support him and want to be there for him.
The scene cuts back to Yeshua and Jeremiah.
YESHUA BANDZ: Who else is coming though? I know Jada coming, but any word from Alex?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Nah why would I? We haven’t talked in months.
YESHUA BANDZ: I thought you guys were back to being cool, I could have sworn I saw something between you two on social media.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Social media isn’t communicating, we were suppose to be friends, and friends talk face to face, or on the phone, not just through social media. That’s whack!
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Whether Alex shows up or not, that’s not my concern tonight. The only thing I was worried about was having fun and proving to not only the world but to myself that I can live a clean sober life.
The scene cuts back the two, Jeremiah finishes getting dressed. After he finishes the two make their way out to the main dance floor, they head over to VIP where a table is already set up filled with decorations and alcohol. Jeremiah grabs a drink and pours both him and Yeshua a shot and the two take them to the head.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I may not be doing hard drugs but thank God for alcohol.
YESHUA BANDZ: Now I’m not trying to sound like an asshole when I say this but I could have sworn that being sober meant no to everything, drugs and alcohol.
Yeshua shrugs.
YESHUA BANDZ: Well maybe drugs was a problem for him, who knows but who am I to judge, let’s turn up.
The scene cuts back to Yeshua and Jeremiah, the music plays in the background and the club is now packed to full capacity, the scene cuts to the entrance where both Jada and Sky are shown entering the building.
SKY TOWNSEND: I didn’t know Jeremiah knew this many people.
JADA MONTANA: I doubt he does, but if the people here are here to really support him then that’s all that matters.
JADA MONTANA: I know Jeremiah has been dealing with some personal demons lately so him having this party is like a release for him, I won’t say to much of what he was going through but I will say I’m happy he’s better now.
The scene cuts back to the two, Both Jada and Sky make it to the vip area where they meet up with Jeremiah and Yeshua, the two are greeted with shots.
JADA MONTANA: Y’all already turned up I see, it’s so loud in here.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: It is a club.
YESHUA BANDZ: Yo it’s so many people in here.
SKY TOWNSEND: That’s a good thing though, they’re all here to support you.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I don’t know half of these people in here but who cares, I’m here to have fun.
The scene cuts to the outside where a black Porsche 911 is shown pulling up, inside Braelyn Monroe is shown fixing her hair one last time before hopping out and handing the keys to the valet, she smiles as she walks passed people who are still waiting in line and she makes her way inside the building.
BRAELYN MONROE: I’ve known Jeremiah a few years now, we met when we both wrestled for Pride Pro and since then we’ve hung out a few times, I mostly see him he hangs out with my best friend Brandon so we already had a connection there. Jeremiah invited me to this sober party so I decided to show face and show my support. I wasn’t to sure how his other friends would accept me since I’ve had issues with a few of them in the past, but tonight it wasn’t about that, it was about Jeremiah and him making changes in his life.
The scene cuts back to Braelyn, she walks inside grabbing a shot from one of the servers near the door, she heads over to the VIP section meeting with the rest of the group, she gives them all hugs and air kisses before making herself another drink.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Thanks for coming Brae.
BRAELYN MONROE: Of course love, I wouldn’t have missed this party because I know how important it is to you.
JADA MONTANA: Who else is coming?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Where is Mya?
SKY TOWNSEND: She’s actually at a shoot right now, but she said once it wraps up she would swing by if it wasn’t too late.
YESHUA BANDZ: Have y’all heard from Alex?
Braelyn rolls her eyes.
BRAELYN MONROE: Oh? She’s coming?
BRAELYN MONROE: It’s obvious that me and this girl have some sort of issue.
Braelyn pauses.
BRAELYN MONROE: Let me rephrase that, she has an issue with me and I don’t even know her. I’m guessing she’s jealous of how close Jeremiah and I have become but that’s not my problem and she needs to get over it.
The scene cuts back to Braelyn and the rest of the group, they all start dancing as a Lil Baby plays through the speakers, more drinks are being poured as the scene cuts back to the outside. Alex J is shown climbing out of her matte black Rolls-Royce. She hands her key to the valet along with a cash tip. She makes her way into the venue.
ALEX J: I'm actually really surprised Jeremiah extended an invite to me for his party. He and i haven't really been speaking and if you leave it to him, I'm to blame. But since he invited me, i figured maybe he wanted to put whatever this is behind us. I literally have no problems with him, nor anyone else from the group for that matter, but we'll see how this goes i guess.
The scene returns to the venue. Alex J is shown approaching the group. She spots Jeremiah and awkwardly smiles in his direction.
ALEX J: Mr. Kingston!
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Oh look who decides to show her face.
Jeremiah gives off a sarcastic smile as he leans in for a hug. Barelyn rolls her eyes and starts to sip on her drink, while Sky and Jada still dance along to the music.
ALEX J: Of course I came. You invited me.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Look I was happy that Alex decided to show up to my event, we haven’t really talked in months, I did send her flowers after she gave birth to her daughter but other then that there really hasn’t been any type of communication. But since she did show tonight, I’ll save her the drama and let her enjoy her time but trust we will have a conversation soon.
The scene cuts back to the party. Alex directs her attention to Jada and Sky.
ALEX J: What's going on guys
ALEX J: I feel like I walked into a lion's den.
Alex takes a deep breath as she approaches the group and the scene fades.
