And just when you thought it was over.
BOOM!!
It’s back again.
The scene cuts to different images and visuals surrounding both LA and Atlanta. The scene flashes unseen footage from Atlanta season 4 that was cancelled. The scene then cuts to some of the cast members appearing on this season of the life. The scene cuts to a short scene featuring London and Anthony inside their la condo.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I don’t know what you want me to do Anthony, I’ve been trying my best to make this shit work and all I get is nothing.
Anthony brushes London off ignoring his cries.
ANTHONY KING: it’s beyond repairable yo. We’ve been through this shit too many times, and the fact I agreed to have this child with you yo, it’s fucking disrespectful.
The scene then cuts to Brandon and Isaiah sitting down at a local bistro downtown la.
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:. You're really trying me right now Isaiah, and the fact we had a friendship is keeping me from dragging you across this motherfucking floor.
ISAIAH WOLFE: THEN DRAG ME HOE; THE FUCK!
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS: flies across the table as the scene cuts to Adyn and Israel outside on the balcony of the Marriott hotel.
ADYN: So you brought me here to tell me that you’ve been cheating basically the whole relationship and I’m supposed to be calm right now, I’m a fucking wreck.
ISRAEL: I’m just to, but I’m just being honest and I want us to work, I’m a changed man.
Adyn laughs, annoyed and trying to fight back tears he just gets up from the table.
ADYN: Nah were done, I gave up a lot and risked a lot.
The scene cuts to Micah and Chase who are shown leaving one of Micah’s shows. The two hop in the Mercedes G Wagon in the backseat and the car rides off.
MICAH GRAY: I appreciate you coming with me tonight. It meant a lot to know you were by my side.
CHASE LIU: That’s what friends are for.
MICAH GRAY: But yea that’s what I wanted to talk about, I know you and ole dude only been broken up for a few weeks now but Chase you know I fuck with you like for real and I’m trying to see what could happen between us.
Chase sits there speechless as the scene cuts to Jalen and Prynceton. Jalen is shown standing near the bar with a drink in hand while Prynceton makes his way over to Jalen.
JALEN: Great! It’s about to go down.
The scene then fades to black.
#theLIFE
THE SEASON OF BETRAYAL.
The scene opens up in Los Angeles, California. Beautiful palm trees and beaches appear on the screen showing how nice LA can actually look, the scene cuts to London and Anthony’s condo located in Hollywood where London is shown unpacking his bags. Anthony walks in the bedroom with their dog Simba in hand and sits down on the bed.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Yes world, here I am once again doing the same thing I said I wasn’t going to do.
London laughs.
LONDON CARTER•KING: But I promise this time around I’m not involving myself in any drama or bullshit. I’m mostly focused on me, my career and my growing family. The last time we left off I was actually in the process of finding a surrogate, that was a hectic process but we eventually did and Anthony and I welcomed our first baby boy together. Arza London King.
London blushes.
LONDON CARTER•KING: But since Arza has arrived, things haven’t really been good between Anthony and I. It’s still the same bullshit, the distance and now that Arza is here, he really wants me to move to LA full time but everyone knows that Miami is home.
The scene cuts back to the two sitting in the bedroom. Anthony plays with Simba while London stares at him waiting for him to say something.
LONDON CARTER•KING: So I’m only going to be here a week and then I have some business to take care of back home, I think Arza should come back with me since we don’t have everything here.
ANTHONY KING: Whatever you say, you're the boss.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I honestly don’t need the attitude, Arza and I could have stayed back in Miami.
ANTHONY KING: You didn’t want to come anyway, it’s not like I forced you too. I just want to get through this week with peace, can we do that at least?
LONDON CARTER•KING: I always want peace, it’s you that somehow always has a problem. It’s like anytime I’m in the room, you seem annoyed by my presence.
ANTHONY KING: Because I didn’t sign up for a long distance relationship, and I didn’t even want to do this shit.
Anthony turns and points at the cameramen.
ANTHONY KING: But look at me doing it, because of you. Fuck it, I’m going to feed my son and I’m going to the studio.
LONDON CARTER•KING: So you don’t want to talk?
ANTHONY KING: Not with these niggas here.
Anthony gets up from the bed leaving Simba there, he pulls the mic from under his shirt dropping it on the floor and walking into the other room.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I really don’t understand his problem at all.
Anthony hears London and runs back into the room.
ANTHONY KING: Oh so you don’t understand huh? I can’t even get you to fly down this bitch, but once these cameras start rolling it’s ok.
LONDON CARTER•KING: That’s not true, I have family and a life in Miami and you know that.
ANTHONY KING: Nah bruh, you got a family here too and you better figure out what to do and quick because I don’t know long I can last doing this shit.
LONDON CARTER•KING: You knew-
ANTHONY KING: I don’t care yo, I’m out.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I can’t even be upset with how Anthony feels, he has every right to be mad but I don’t know, I really do not know what to do.
The scene cuts back to London and Dana who is visiting at the time. Dana walks over to London who is standing in the bathroom with the door cracked, trying to hide his face from the camera, he tells Dana to come in and close the door. The cameramen stand on the outside still filming.
DANA: Are you okay?
LONDON CARTER•KING: I’m not, at all.
DANA: I don't think I’ve seen you two this bad since well you know.
LONDON CARTER•KING: He’s just a different person, I don’t want to think about breaking up but …
DANA: Don’t even speak that into existence, I’m sure you two will get through it.
LONDON CARTER•KING: (voice cracks) I hope so.
The scene fades and reopens on the outside of a large modern mansion. As the cameras pan to the front door is shown swinging open. Shorty after, social media influencer and makeup artist Asani Li is shown with her phone in the air, recording a youtube video.
ASANI LI: My babies! Asani Li is signing on with another video. Not coming at you with a tutorial but I definitely want to talk about makeup. More specifically, my makeup. As you all know, I have been working day and night, trying to come up with an amazing palette to present to you guys. And we are just about there. I've been working with some amazing people-
As she is talking her puppy runs up and jumps up on her. She giggle as she picks him up, bringing him in view of the camera.
ASANI LI: Now yall know it wouldn't be a video if fashion didnt make a debut.
He licks her face and she playfully kisses him back before putting him down to get back to her video.
ASANI LI: Anyway, back to this palette.
ASANI LI: Hello my beautiful babies! I am back! But this time full time!
She flips her hair, smiling.
ASANI LI: Last year when I first came to the show, i didn't know what I was getting into. These people had already built lives and friendships together and I was the new girl on the block. But the rest of the gang welcomed me with open arms so of course I jumped on the opportunity to come back. I've been up to a lot since the show last aired. I collabed with Trinity on a line of lipsticks, which sold out in 32 seconds mind you. I was very excited to work with her. She was a huge inspiration to me also being a trans woman dominating the industry in more ways than one. So it was a big honor.
She smiles warmly.
ASANI LI: Outside of that, I've been doing my usual. Climbing the ranks in this crazy influencer world. I've recently started a partnership with mac cosmetics. They keep a girl laced at all times honey. And I'm currently working on my first eyeshadow pallet. I've been working on it for a long time. I didnt wanna just produce anything. just about every makeup influencer has reached a point where they come out with their own makeup but a lot of the times they are literally just the face. I wanted to actually be in the lab, testing products. Actually being apart of the process. And we're so close to something beautiful. I cant wait to share it with my babies. Just like I cant wait to bring yall back into my life!.
She winks and blows a kiss as the scene returns to Asani's mansion. She is shown wrapping up her video as a knock comes at her door. She rushes to the door looking at the wall monitor. Her best friends and former life cast mates Bry'an Tilly and Trubble Devereux are shown staring into the camera.
BRY'AN TILLY: open the door bitch! I would say it's cold. But you know hoes don't get cold.
The three chuckle as Asani opens the door. She jumps on them hugging them both!
ASANI LI: I fuckong missed you whores!
TRUBBLE DEVEREUX: I know right! It's been too long. Ms booked and busy here doesn't have time for the girls.
BRY'AN TILLY: Okurrt.
Asani laughs, rolling her eyes
ASANI LI: Don't do me. Because yall whores dont even answer the phone no more. Ms Tilly is always anywhere but home! And miss Trubble is always in somebody's trouble! Running away on whirlwind romances and shit.
Trubble rolls his eyes.
TRUBBLE DEVEREUX: Girl fuck you! And fuck love! Love lives not on this heart.
He snaps as the three laugh.
ASANI LI: Girl what happened to that fine ass African Prince you were clearly gaga for.
TRUBBLE DEVEREUX: Sigh.. let's just say get stole my virginity and my heart and he broke it. But I'm so over that. Who has time for boyfriends right now.
ASANI LI: Girl me! I will always have time for daddy!
ASANI LI: So...daddy is my on again off again boyfriend. And right now we are all the way on. We met on one of my shots. He was the man candy. And we just clicked. I love everything about him. Except when I hate him. I have to admit since we've gotten together he has gotten a bit lazy with finding work. As models we only get paid when were booked. And it's definitely a bit harder for males to get jobs in la. Because everywhere you turn, theres a hot guy trying to jump in the scene.but anyway. He books jobs here and there but indo wish he would work a bit harder if this really his his dream. Because if were gonna get married and be together forever he has to understand I need to be kept. These trips to doctor Borkment are adding up. I can't be taking care if me and someone else's grown child. Outside of arguing about work. Everything else is usually great.
The scene returns to the three who are now sparked out in Asani's California king bed.
BRY'AN TILLY: Girl so what is going on. Catch me up!
ASANI LI: you know I'm just a work horse. I'm really trying to get this pallet finished before the end of the month. It's been time. My babies are waiting.
TRUBBLE DEVEREUX: Girl we are waiting!
BRY'AN TILLY: I know right! I cannot wait to see what it gives.
TRUBBLE DEVEREUX: you know its gonna be drama for mama baby.
ASANI LI: in a big way. yall know how I am. She has to be right.
BRY'AN TILLY: and I know the launch party is gonna be a big deal.
ASANI LI: Oh yes! But I'm not telling either one of yall anything. And I wasnt honest reviews if yall do a tryout for your channels.
TRUBBLE DEVEREUX: Oh you already know honey. I'm only honest!
BRY'AN TILLY: And you know you're getting a review. Just hurry up with the product.
ASANI LI: I love my friends. They really keep me on track. And they always tell me what I need to hear. Not what I want. So I know they'll give me the real.
The scene returns to the group.
ASANI LI: oh em gee guys can we get food. I'm more than starving.
BRY'AN TILLY: Bitch you are reading my mind. I could go for a ole nasty burger!
TRUBBLE DEVEREUX: I have a shoot coming up. I cant eat.
ASANI LI: Well I'll eat for both of us. Bitch let's go.
The three chuckle and continue chatting as the scene fades and reopens outside of #NightCap, a bar Chase works at, is located in Atlanta. Chase is shown standing behind the bar shirtless in a pair of short basketball shorts with a tease of his Calvin Klein underwear showing. A few of the club goers walk his way flirting and buying drinks enjoying their time there.
PRODUCER: How does it feel being back?
CHASE LIU: Honestly I didn’t think it was going to happen, but now that it’s here I’m crazy excited. I know the world is happy to see me again, and this time in my own element.
PRODUCER: How are you and Jaser?
Chase pauses, and smiles.
CHASE LIU: Were doing good, he’s in LA right now for a show.
PRODUCER: Why aren’t you there?
Chase shrugs.
The scene cuts back to the bar, one of Chase regulars walks up to him, wrapping his arm and hands around Chase's bare waist.
DONNIE B: Damn, why are you teasing me like that boy?
Chase laughs but in an uncomfortable manner while removing Donnie’s arm from around his waist.
CHASE LIU: You know I have a boyfriend Donnie.
DONNIE B: Ahh chill, it’s only innocent fun.
CHASE LIU: Working nightclubs, especially gay clubs comes with so much bullshit, yes you get to have fun, get drunk and network but then you have the ones feel obligated to treat and speak to you any kind of way. Donnie is a regular patron of the club, he frequents here often and I’m guessing I’m one of his favorite bartenders.
Chase shakes his head.
CHASE LIU: He’s a nice guy, one of the top lawyers in ATL, so he tips nicely, but he is very hands on and when I mean hands on I mean he doesn’t know how to keep his hands to himself and the sad part about it is he’s in a relationship but here in the club every night trying to cop a feel on me.
PRODUCER: How does Jaser feel about you working the nightclub still and wearing revealing outfits.
Chase reaches over and grabs some gummy worms out of the bag and places two in his mouth. He looks at the camera with a smirk on his face.
CHASE LIU: It’s about making a living and it’s a job, I’m being very respectful in how I move so trust Jaser has nothing to worry about.
The scene cuts back to Chase and Donnie in the club. By this time Chase has already served a few more drinks but Donnie doesn’t leave him alone.
DONNIE B: What’s the plan after this?
CHASE LIU: To go home and FaceTime my man, you need another drink or?
DONNIE B: I’m just making conversation.
Suddenly Donnie feels a tap on his shoulder and he turns and sees Micah standing behind him.
MICAH GRAY: Yo he not trying to rap with you right now playa, move along.
DONNIE B: I don’t want no smoke.
MICAH GRAY: Then bounce.
Donnie walks off with his head down and the scene cuts to Micah Confessional].
MICAH GRAY: What’s hood? Yea it’s ya boy Micah Gray aka Trill ass nigga. You know I’ve been laying low and staying out of relationships, been working on my marijuana dispensary and you know focusing on the music. I was in Atlanta for the weekend and my boy Chase asked me to stop by the spot he was working tonight, now he knows I’m not into the whole club scene but me and him have a close bond so I decided to pull up on him.
The scene cuts back to the bar, Chase tells one of the other bartenders that he’ll be back and he grabs Micah by the arm and leads him towards the other side of the bar.
CHASE LIU: You know I could have handled that situation, Donnie isn’t a bad guy, he’s just very persistent.
MICAH GRAY: Seems desperate to me.
CHASE LIU: I mean, have you looked at me.
Chase smiles.
MICAH GRAY: I’m looking at you know, so what’s up?
Chase stands there not saying a word, but the blushes on his face said enough.
CHASE LIU: Micah is a cool guy, we became close at one of the life events in LA and I don’t know he’s just been there for me through some shit.
PRODUCER: Do you have feelings for Micah?
Chase pauses.
CHASE LIU: Umm that’s a random question to ask.
PRODUCER: I think everyone notices chemistry and a little sexual tension, the streets are talking.
CHASE LIU: Well the streets are wrong, it's a friend zone only.
The scene cuts back to Chase and Micah.
CHASE LIU: Anyway, I appreciate you coming even though I know this isn’t your thing.
MICAH GRAY: After a couple drinks I should be okay, it seems like most of the attention is on you tonight anyway, from everyone including me.
Chase blushes again.
CHASE LIU: Stop it.
MICAH GRAY: Just speaking the truth.
PRODUCER: How do you feel about Chase?
MICAH GRAY: A real nigga don’t dive into that type of convo, just know dude is special.
The scene cuts back to the two.
MICAH GRAY: So you going home alone tonight or is ole boy in town?
CHASE LIU: Jaser’s still gone, he’s flying in this weekend and says he has something special planned.
MICAH GRAY: So what about tonight? You trying to kick it after? I got a bottle.
Chase stands there for a second not knowing what to say, luckily one of the bartenders calls for him to come back behind the bar.
CHASE LIU: Ummm… I’ll let you know, I may just go home and go straight to sleep.
MICAH GRAY: I’ll be around though if you decide to leave with me.
Chase smiles and walks off towards the bar.
PRODUCER: So did you go home with Micah that night?
CHASE LIU: ……..
Chase reaches for his Pepsi bottle and takes a sip through the straw as the scene fades and reopens in the middle of Piedmont Park. Cameras pan around the area showing some people walking around talking and enjoying the sites. The cameras then pan to a photoshoot setup. Dallas Reed is shown posing in front of the camera in an Andrew Christian jockstrap. The photographer praises him as he effortlessly changes poses.
DALLAS REED: What the fuck is good Atlanta. The original pretty boy sex siren is back! Man. And I'm feeling good. Finally feeling like Dee is back on the path to greatness. Definitely took a little time off from the industry after last season. Ya boy was definitely going through some things.
Clips play from the previous season, showcasing Dallas fighting Trazeno began playing on the screen. Then it switches to a clip of his confrontation with Hadrian. Several mugshots then appear on the screen and finally finish with the clip of Dallas' breakdown appears. The scene then returns to the confessional.
DALLAS REED: Its not a secret that I had a rollercoaster of a ride. Everybody saw what went down so ain't really no need to even go back down that road because that's not the man I am. And that's not what I'm focusing on. It's all about the future. And the future is looking real bright for the kid baby. Getting back to the grind like I never left. I met with my manager a few weeks back and he was more than excited to get me back to work. And today I'm shooting with Andrew Christain. A line designed for gay men by gay men. It's my first major gig since I've been back from my little hiatus. So I'm excited and nervous at the same time. But they've been taking good care of me and making me feel right at home.
The scene returns to the shoot. Dallas is being oiled down after his change into his next outfit. A woman is shown walking toward him. As she flips her hair, it is revealed to be Trinity Monroe. She smiles as she approaches him. He gives her a big hug.
DALLAS REED: Trini! What is good ma?
TRINITY MONROE: Mr. Reed! I see you big daddy. What's going on?
DALLAS REED: Ya boy getting back to work!
TRINITY MONROE: I see! I'm so proud of you!
DALLAS REED: It's been time ma. I been losing too much.
TRINITY MONROE: But you've been learning. And clearly all your losses taught you something. You've been staying out of trouble most importantly. And you actually seem happy.
DALLAS REED: Trinity has always been my rock. I thought things would be different after we broke up. But she's remained an amazing friend. I've always been able to call on her for advice or just to hang out and have some fun. I invited her here today because I needed her energy. Things are going great and I wanna keep it that way, and she's one person that can keep me on track.
The scene returns to the two.
DALLAS REED: I really am happy Trini. It's been a minute since I could say that and really mean it. That's why I don't want to mess anything up.
TRINITY MONROE: The only thing that seems to be in the way is this drama with Prynceton.
Dallas sighs, rolling his eyes.
DALLAS REED: I just want him to live his life!
TRINITY MONROE: I mean I do understand his frustration. But I do think the way he has been handling things is a bit...childish.
DALLAS REED: The way Prynce and I ended definitely was a bit unconventional but I always told him from the beginning I always knew us even trying to form a relationship would be terrible for our friendship but the heart wants what it wants but unfortunately our hearts wanted two different things. My heart has been with Jaelen since the day I met him. And it sucks that he had to get hurt. But I thought he would understand more. He risked everything to be with me just like I risked everything to be with Jae. I would like for us to sit down and put all this behind us but if he wants to keep acting like this I can be just as nasty.
He rolls his eyes as the scene returns to the two.
DALLAS REED: Girl childish ain't the word. I dont have time to deal with his mess. I feel like hes trying his hardest to bring out the old side of me and I definitely ain't bout to let that happen.
TRINITY MONROE: As you shouldnt. But he's just hurt. I'm sure he'll get over it. But anyways, enough about the bad. How are things with you and Jaelen. I havent seen you smile this much in a very long time.
Dallas blushes. Hiding his face in his hand.
DALLAS REED: Stop playing! Nah I'm just happy forreal. You know how I feel about that boy. Feel like I got my partner in crime forever man. It's a beautiful feeling.
PRODUCER: Are you in love?
Dallas blushes at the question, chuckling a bit.
DALLAS REED: Without a doubt.
He chuckles again.
DALLAS REED: I am very much in love.
PRODUCER:Do we hear more wedding bells for another pair from our Life cast?
Dallas smirks.
DALLAS REED: Y'all just gotta wait and see. I'm not saying a word.
He licks his lips as the scene returns to the two.
DALLAS REED: But we're talking about me. Wussup with you and ole boy?
The blush now appears on Trinity's face. The two chuckle.
TRINITY MONROE: We are not here to talk about me and my mans thank you very much!
DALLAS REED: Ahha you play. I see it. I'm happy for you too ma. Yo seems like he is a nice dude forreal. He better be keeping that smile on ya face. I dont wanna have to put the paws on him.
The two laugh and continue chatting as the scene fades and reopens in Las Vegas, NV. The scene shows a couple of the hotels, casinos and other visuals of Vegas before switching over to a strip of small bars, shops and some nightclubs. The scene cuts to a vacant building where Carlos Torres is shown inside with his real estate agent, the two walk around the vacant basically examining and trying to picture out LUSH Vegas would turn out.
CARLOS TORREZ: This is actually bigger than Lush in LA, and the rent is cheaper.
AMERIE: I already knew you would like this spot, it's chique and it's laid back I feel. People already know who you are and what you're capable of and I think your name and the name of the club alone will bring the guests.
CARLOS TORREZ: And the right promotion behind it wouldn’t hurt, I’m actually waiting for a friend to arrive so he can give me his insight, but I’m almost sold on opening the club here.
CARLOS TORREZ: Man it feels good to be behind this camera again, I know the world missed me.
Carlos winks.
CARLOS TORREZ: Things have been crazy for me lately, LUSH is doing extremely well and I’ve been thinking about opening up another location, well not thinking I’m actually doing it. Since my breakup with Levi, my main focus has been work and making sure I’m good.
PRODUCER: Why did you and Levi break up?
CARLOS TORREZ: I don’t even want to get into that, me even mentioning his name is giving him a reason to come out of hiding just so stir up some drama and we all know how shady y’all can be.
The scene cuts back to Carlos and Amerie standing in the middle of the vacant bar, the door swings open and in walks Isaiah Wolfe, he walks over to Carlos and the two hug. Carlos introduces Isaiah to Amerie and the two chat for a second before Amerie excuses herself.
ISAIAH WOLFE: This is nice Carlos, I like the area, I mean when you first drive here it seems like everything is secluded and your driving to your death, but once you actually get here and see how live is around here, then it's like OH OK, maybe this isn’t a bad idea.
CARLOS TORREZ: I thought the same thing, but everyone has told me this is one of the best areas to open LUSH 2.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I know you're excited.
CARLOS TORREZ: I am excited actually, who would have thought I would have two clubs under my name. I mean if it wasn’t for Madison handing LUSH over me I probably wouldn’t have taken the responsibility but she believed in me.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Ha, I always thought that was strange. Madison is the sister of Anthony who is married to London, but you and London still don’t get along.
CARLOS TORREZ: That's a topic I don’t want to give light to, that beef is many years old and I've moved on. But the question is how do you think Brandon would feel if he knew or even saw us hanging out together?
ISAIAH WOLFE: I don’t know, nor would I honestly care. I don’t think he should have an issue with who i decide to be friends with or even date, i mean just like you said the drama you guys had is old and if I stay neutral then it would never be an issue.
CARLOS TORREZ: You right, but we all know how Brandon is.
CARLOS TORREZ: Isaiah is a cool dude, we started kicking it a few months back but on the low because we both didn’t want to start any unnecessary drama. I wouldn’t say we're a couple, but we’ve just been feeling each other out.
PRODUCER: Have you two been intimate?
CARLOS TORREZ: We’re grown.
Carlos gives off a sarcastic smile before the scene cuts back to the two inside the vacant bar.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Brandon swears he’s a changed man, so this shouldn’t affect him at all.
CARLOS TORREZ: How are him and Drake doing anyway? I actually went into his store and purchased a few things but he wasn’t there that day. I feel like I've extended numerous olive branches and get nothing in return, which is why I have given up on trying to rebuild any relationships with him, London, and President.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I don’t blame you, and you have a lot of good stuff going for you so just look at it as their lost and a gain for you.
CARLOS TORREZ: I appreciate that yo.
Carlos pulls on Isaiah's arm pulling him closer to his body, the two share an intimate kiss before being interrupted by flashing cameras outside.
CARLOS TORREZ: Yo, I think someone just took a picture of us.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Let me find out you got paparazzi following you.
CARLOS TORREZ: That’s weird, I’m not one special.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Well forget them, let's get back to what we were doing just a few seconds ago.
Isaiah leans in and kisses Carlos again before the scene fades and reopens outside of Yung Fetish, Brandon is shown inside running around making sure everything is in order while helping customers.
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: Life is good y’all, Yung Fetish is doing great, I’ve been working on new music and just keeping myself busy but I am happy to be back on y’all TV screen. But don’t get me wrong because part of me didn’t want to do this again.
PRODUCER: So what changed your mind?
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: THAT CHECK! Plus this show has always been a great platform to get your name and businesses out there. That is if you are an entrepreneur, so it comes with its perks but the drama y’all create can be a bit much.
Brandon smirks as the scene cuts back to inside the store, Brandon helps a few more people before noticing London walking in. London stops and checks out a couple of the shirts before meeting up with Brandon at the front.
LONDON CARTER•KING: After that fight with Anthony, I needed to get out the house and just clear my head, I knew Brandon was the perfect person to see because he always kept me laughing.
The scene cuts back to London and Brandon. The two head into the back where Brandon’s office is and the two sit.
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: Chile what are you doing on this side of town? I figured you would be boo’d up with Anthony.
LONDON CARTER•KING: You would think huh?
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: Ah hell what the hell is going on?
LONDON CARTER•KING: I don’t know Brandon, these last few months we haven’t been getting along at all. It’s like we’re arguing over the dumbest shit, and you already know how his attitude gets.
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: Yea Anthony is a hot head.
LONDON CARTER•KING: He’s just so disrespectful with his mouth, and he’s constantly bringing up old shit, you know he’s disappointed that I decided to do the show again.
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: Well with this opportunity comes a lot of baggage, trust I think we both learned that the hard way but you two always seem to get through the storm.
London shrugs as the scene cuts to Brandon’s confessional.
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: I hated seeing London like this, him and Anthony were always two people I looked up to, I’m not saying they’re relationship was perfect but damn they were they “it” couple, it’s like all gay men wanted a relationship like theirs.
The scene cuts back to the two.
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: So what are you two planning to do? I mean you are here for a couple days and that would be stupid for you two to spend that time not speaking to each other.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Who knows? He says he’s working late in the studio tonight but once he’s finished I was hoping you could come watch Arza while we grab a late dinner.
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: Of course. You guys need this anyway.
LONDON CARTER•KING: I was thinking about putting together a little party before I left, I haven’t seen everyone in awhile so I thought it would be a good idea for all of us to let loose and hang out.
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: Sounds good but the question is who are you inviting?
LONDON CARTER•KING: Well you of course and then I heard President was in town for a few days so I hit him up and asked him to stop by, and I was thinking of inviting Yosef, Jalen, Dallas, and I was thinking of inviting Richie Rich’s brother, I know he’s been hanging out with a few of the other guys so I was thinking this would be a real introduction for him and then of course Isaiah.
Brandon rolls his eyes.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Oh shit, why not Isaiah?
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: Good ole Isaiah, someone I called a friend and a part of our little clique the mean girls. Well I was wrong, it seems like Isaiah is being a little sneaky and I don’t like it. My homegirl sent me a picture of Isaiah and Carlos out together and I’m just trying to figure out when they even became friends.
Brandon shakes his head.
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: These girls do anything for clout, it’s sad.
The scene cuts back to the two.
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: I just don’t like how Isaiah is moving these days, one of my friends sent me a picture of him and Carlos hanging out and honestly I think it’s fucked up he didn’t mention those two were kicking it.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Ah Carlos still out in these streets being messy huh? He wants to be friends so bad.
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: Look Isaiah can be friends with whoever he chooses to be friends with but why not tell me? Why do I have to find out from social media? That right there is some sneaky shit.
LONDON CARTER•KING: So should I keep him off the list?
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: No go ahead and invite messy boots, I’ll have a word with him when I see him.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Oh lord. I was thinking about inviting Jaser, Chase and Micah to the party also, I know Jaser but the other two not so much, so maybe this will give everyone a chance to mingle.
BRANDON YOUNG•ANDREWS:: Look I don’t care, I’m coming to drink and have fun and like I said, I’ll make sure I have my moment with Isaiah because I need to see what the hell is going on.
LONDON CARTER•KING: For some reason I’ve become very nervous.
London laughs nervously and the two continue to talk as the scene fades and reopens outside of Adyn’s and Israel apartment they shared. Israel is shown carrying duffle bags outside to the car while Adyn stands near the entrance way to their building.
ADYN: What’s up world? It’s ya boy Adyn Richie, the cute light skin with the good hair.
Adyn laughs.
ADYN: But people probably know my brother Richie Rich more than they know me which is cool, but just know I have my own identity and don’t want the comparison. Since the last time everyone saw me which was on ATL Season 4, I started dating Israel and boy did I think he was the love of my life, I should have known better though.
Adyn shrugs.
ADYN: Yesterday I went through Israel’s phone and noticed that he was communicating with someone from his past, and no it wasn’t Chase but let’s just say it was someone who I asked him not to have contact with. I wanted to make it work, but I’ve seen so many people miserable in relationships because “they wanted to make it work” but it just never did. So today he’s finally getting the rest of his things and I guess this is closure that we needed.
The scene cuts back to the parking lot, Israel loads the rest of the items in his Jeep and he walks over to Adyn.
ISRAEL: That’s the last of everything. Are you sure this is what you want?
ADYN: I left LA and moved here full time for you Izzy, just to be played. There’s nothing more that I want to be done with you and this situation, you really hurt me.
ISRAEL: I made a mistake.
ADYN: A few, but I don’t want to talk about it anymore, we’ve done enough talking and if we continue it’s only going to make me mad.
ISRAEL: Can we at least be friends.
Adyn sighs, the look on his face says he wants nothing to do with Israel, but his heart says different. Adyn takes a minute before shaking his head “no.”
ADYN: I can’t right now, I just need time.
ADYN: Look I love Israel, and part of me wants to work this thing out but I can’t, the trust is gone and once you mess that up then there’s no coming back.
The scene cuts back to the two.
ADYN: I need to go, I have some packing to do myself.
ISRAEL: What do you mean?
ADYN: I’m moving back to LA Izzy, I can’t stay here.
ISRAEL: You can’t be serious.
ADYN: Dead ass, I would never stay in this house after all this, are you crazy?
ISRAEL: I didn’t expect for you to live here but I didn’t think you would just up and leave the state.
ADYN: It’s nothing here for me anymore and I have better opportunities there, but it doesn’t matter because you aren’t apart of my life and I’m done.
Adyn starts to walk away but Israel grabs his arm, security rushes up and Adyn snatches his arm away.
ADYN: Don’t grab my arm fool.
ISRAEL: YOU DEAD ASS WRONG!
ADYN: I don’t know why he’s mad, he knew there was no chance we were getting back together. He should be happy that he can go out and live the single life he’s always wanted to.
Adyn shrugs and the scene cuts back the two, Israel continues arguing with Adyn who ignores him. Adyn starts to walk away from Israel leaving him standing behind security still yelling at the top of his lungs, The scene fades and reopens inside of LA Fitness, Dre is shown inside working on his legs, watching himself in the mirror.
DRE KEYZ Ayo world, it’s ya boy Andre Keyz aka Dre, one of LA’s top fitness coach plus I got a couple other side gigs I do. I recently moved back to LA from Texas, I’m originally from there and my parents live there. But I’m finally back in these mean streets of LA and I know I’ve been missed.
Dre smirks.
PRODUCER: Who from the cast do you know?
DRE KEYZ No one.
Dre laughs.
DRE KEYZ Except for Sean, that’s the reason why I’m here right?
Dre laughs as the scene cuts back to inside the gym, Corey is shown pulling up to the gym in a all back Aston Martin 2020 edition, he pulls into a parking space and hops out wearing a pair of basketball shorts and a shirt.
COREY LEWIS: Yo it’s ya boy Corey Lewis aka Corey Gunz, I’m an up and coming rapper and I play college basketball. I’ve lived in LA my entire life and know almost everyone here, I guess you can say I’m kind of a socialite.
Corey winks towards the camera.
PRODUCER: You're also known as one of the guys that hooked up with Brandon while being married to Drake.
Corey shakes his head.
COREY LEWIS: Y’all messy, and I’m not here for that. Anyway, I’m meeting up with my boy Dre today just so see what’s he’s been up too since it’s been awhile since we kicked it.
The scene cuts back to Corey walking inside the gym, he heads over to where Dre is working out and the two dap each other up. Both jump on separate treadmills and start jogging.
COREY LEWIS: Oh we taking it easy today bruh?
DRE KEYZ Shit, I’ve been here all day and my body sore as hell.
COREY LEWIS: Bruh you might as well build an apartment over top this bitch since you basically live here.
Dre chuckles.
DRE KEYZ I know right.
COREY LEWIS: But what else has been going on? How’s LA been treating you since you’ve been back?
DRE KEYZ It’s been cool, I’ve been trying to reconnect with family and friends, getting my name back out in these streets and I’m just happy people haven’t forgotten about me and the work I bring.
COREY LEWIS: Top LA Fitness Coach here bruh, no one forgets talent.
DRE KEYZ True. What about you tho? I hear you're running the streets like crazy.
COREY LEWIS: Who me? Nah I work, go to school and keep to myself. I don’t have time to get caught up in some bullshit again.
DRE KEYZ Tell me about it, you know I’ve been dealing with some bullshit myself, I’m trying to figure this whole thing out with Sean.
DRE KEYZ Sean Williams is this guy I met during one of classes a few months ago, it was something about him that made me bring out feelings I never knew I had and since then we’ve kind of been a “thing”.
PRODUCER: What do you mean a thing?
DRE KEYZ You know man, like an intimate relationship. He’s cool, but the problem is I have an ex-wife and two kids that mean the world to me and even though my family is already broken, I don’t want to cause more problems then what it already is.
The scene cuts back to Dre and Corey.
DRE KEYZ Sean’s very open about his sexuality and I’m cool with that, but you know me on the other head I’ve always suppressed and hid those feelings. Even when I was married I remember I would have these urges and it would mess with me.
COREY LEWIS: Your wife doesn’t know?
DRE KEYZ Nah.
COREY LEWIS: Well you know after she sees this, she will.
DRE KEYZ I’ll tell her way before this event airs, but my issue is if I should just go ahead and come out or keep what normalcy i have in my life the same.
COREY LEWIS: You hiding your bisexuality is not normal at all, it’ll drive you up the wall, trust me I’ve walked your shoes.
COREY LEWIS: Growing up in a Spanish household, homosexuality was something that was never talked about or accepted. It wasn’t until I got older that I realized I need to start living my true self, I just got tired of always sneaking and hiding so I truly understand what Dre is going through.
The scene cuts back to the two.
COREY LEWIS: All I can say is you can only keep up with this lie for so long, eventually it’ll come to light and it may not end well. I suggest you announce all your truths and see what happens and to be honest, Sean just might be that guy in your life that truly helps you understand who you are.
DRE KEYZ I don’t know man, he’s a good guy but everything is just moving so fast.
COREY LEWIS: Think about it and just have a conversation with him, trust me when I say living the way you are now won’t keep you happy for long, without trials there’s no triumph.
DRE KEYZ That's real.
The two continue talking and walking on the treadmill as the scene fades and reopens with Happiness over Everything by Jhené Aiko can be heard playing. A shot of a black Audi RS4 is shown. The shot pans and shows the door opening and a pair of red and black cement retro 3’s step out as the camera pans up revealing Jaser Cruz all smiles as he hands his car keys off to a valet and steps of Nobu sushi restaurant in Los Angeles Ca. The camera shifts to Jaser in confessional
JASER CRUZ: Que pasa bitches? I’m baaaaaaack.
Jaser smiles as the scene fades out to the ending credits.
