The scene opens up with Brandon standing on his balcony drinking a glass of wine. “By Your Side” by Sade plays through his Alexa Bluetooth speakers. He pulls a cigarette out of his pocket and lights it up, he takes three puffs and flicks the ashes to the floor while singing along with Sade.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: I’m still trippin over my sit down with Isaiah, it’s like he was a totally different person and the shit he was saying out of his mouth was beyond disrespectful. So he got what he deserves?
PRODUCER: But you do understand violence is not the answer.
Brandon rolls his eyes.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: And you do understand that I’m the same Brandon you guys put on the show since day one, I’m never the one to be messed with and that will always be the case. I advised you guys that my relationship was not going to be the target this season because you guys have already caused enough PAIN.
PRODUCER: You signed up for a show, nothing is off limits.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: Yes and I’m learning that maybe signing up for this show was fucking mistake.
The scene cuts back to the balcony where Brandon is shown walking to his front door, he opens the door and Braelyn makes her way in. She hugs her friend before walking into the sitting area and takes a seat on the couch. Brandon walks in with two glasses filled with wine and he sits down beside her.
BRAELYN MONROE: Oh we're starting early, this must be serious.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: It was yesterday, but now I’m just trying to vibe and ease my mind.
BRAELYN MONROE: When you called me I could tell you were very upset.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: I just have a lot going on, Drake and I aren’t on speaking terms right now because of some shit that happened the other day and honestly I don’t think I can continue with this shit.
BRAELYN MONROE: With what?
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: The TV shit, now I can understand what London was talking about, their trying to ruin my fucking personal life.
The producer steps in.
PRODUCER: That’s not what we're here to talk about.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: Right! You want to talk about some bullshit that happened years ago, now you’re trying to bring my past up which could possibly harm my future.
BRAELYN MONROE: Listen you know how this stuff goes, fix your relationship with Drake and don’t feed into this bullshit anymore, I’m tired of seeing you hurt.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: And I’m tired of being hurt.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: This whole experience the last few years has been horrible, when I first signed up for this show I wanted it to be fun, I wanted to showcase the LGBTQ+ community in a brighter light instead of what people thought about us but because you guys want drama and want heartache, a lot of friendships and relationships have been ruined and I’m not here for it.
PRODUCER: What are you saying?
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: I’m saying I’m done with this shit after this season, don’t ask me to ever come back.
Brandon smirks as the scene fades and reopens up in the home of Asani Li. cameras pan into her bedroom where she is shown standing inside of her closet looking lost searching through her clothes.
ASANI LI: I have no idea what to wear!
She dramatically falls to her knees into a pile of clothes tossed beneath her. Her assistant walks into the closet laughing at her.
TIZZY: Girl… why!
ASANI LI: Tiz! You know how much I hate this. I dont know what to wear to this party.
She sighs loudly as the scene fades to her confessional
ASANI LI: So..I got a text from London inviting me to a party that he's throwing with the gang. I still haven't really gotten the chance to bond with everyone and I'm trying to be more social this year so I feel like this party would be the perfect chance for me to do just that. But I don't know what to bring. What to wear.
She chuckles a little.
ASANI LI: You would think I gotta impress somebody.
The scene fades back to the two.
TIZZY: So are you excited for the party.
ASANI LI: I don't know! Ya know, I think I'm excited to actually meet some of these people. But from what I know they all got a lotta crazy shit going on.
TIZZY: Its not like you're involved. All this sounds like its tickets to a free shit show… I'm jealous!
The two chuckle
ASANI LI: And I'll have front row tickets! Plus a certain someone that I've been dying to meet is gonna be there.
TIZZY: Girl, who?
Asani blushes as the scene fades to her confessional.
ASANI LI: Omg I'm blushing thinking about it now.
She chuckles as she playfully hides her face.
ASANI LI: Let's just say I have a little crush. But word on the street is he might be attached. Keyword being MIGHT. So for now I will keep my little crush under wraps. I'd hate to be known as the new homewrecker on the block. It's already too many of those running around in this circle.
She giggles as the scene returns to the two.
ASANI LI: All I'm gonna say is, if I find out that he's single. Asani Li will be setting her bait on this trip. I might come home pregnant.
The two burst into laughter as the scene fades and reopens with London walking into the venue he rented for his party tonight, London walks around making sure everything is put together correctly before walking towards the back room. He meets up with his sister Brooklyn who is on Facetime with her husband and the two share a quick embrace.
BROOKLYN CARTER-WEST: Bae, London just got here so I’m going to talk with him for a bit and I’ll call you back later, love you.
Brooklyn blows a kiss into the phone and she hangs up.
BROOKLYN CARTER-WEST: Where’s Anthony?
LONDON CARTER-KING: He’s not coming tonight, he doesn’t want to be on camera.
BROOKLYN CARTER-WEST: Awe, that sucks.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Well you know he’s never been a fan of the show anyway.
LONDON CARTER-KING: I’m not hurt that Anthony doesn’t want to attend my party, he doesn’t want to be a part of the drama and I don’t want him to be a part of it either. We’ve been dealing with some things personally and I just want to keep it that way.
The scene cuts back to London and Brooklyn.
BROOKLYN CARTER-WEST: Just try and enjoy yourself anyway, it looks like it will be a good party.
LONDON CARTER-KING: I appreciate you helping me out, I don’t think I could have pulled this off alone.
BROOKLYN CARTER-WEST: Anything for you Lon, I know it's been rough these last few months but you guys have been doing great, having a child come into the picture is definitely a life changing event but I know you two can handle it, you just have to figure out where you two are going to live permanently and just compromise on that.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Yeah tell him that.
BROOKLYN CARTER-WEST: I would have if he would have showed up tonight, and when I reach out to him via text he’s very nonchalant or sometimes he won’t even respond. And you know me after a few attempts of me trying if it doesn’t work out then I just step back.
London shrugs.
BROOKLYN CARTER-WEST: Anyway, I won’t be able to stay the whole party because August has been watching the twins all day so I want to make sure I give him some breathing room. But I’m about to go get ready, I’ll be back in a few.
Brooklyn leans over and kisses London on his cheek, she walks off towards another room in the back leaving London standing there. London turns and walks out to the main room where the dancing will occur and the scene fades to black. The scene reopens with Isaiah Wolfe sitting in the back of an uber, he sends a text to Dallas letting him know he’s on the way and the scene cuts to his confessional.
ISAIAH WOLFE: It's only been 24 hours since Brandon leaped across the table and attacked me, typical behavior of an immature person and as much as I want to hate him right now, I just can’t. I get his frustration with me and Carlos' friendship but I’m a grown man, I can befriend anyone I choose too.
PRODUCER: How do you feel about seeing Brandon at London’s celebration party tonight?
Isaiah rolls his eyes, he takes a deep breath before reaching for his water bottle, he twirls the straw around in the bottle before taking a quick sip.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Let’s just say if he wants to pop off, then I’ll be ready. I’m not going there to fight but to have fun and be around good people. I think we’ve been friends too long to allow something this small to break us up forever, it’s just not cool.
The scene cuts back to Isaiah inside the uber, finally the uber pulls up to Dallas and Jalen’s house they share and Isaiah hops out the backseat. He makes his way up to the door and knocks, a few seconds go by and Jalen opens the door.
JALEN HOLMES: Oh, hey Isaiah.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I’m here, where’s Dallas?
JALEN HOLMES: He’s upstairs getting ready, I was just having me a little pregame moment but I didn’t know you were meeting us here.
JALEN HOLMES: I really don’t have an issue with Isaiah, we squashed our beef a long time ago. We aren’t friends, but we aren’t enemies, he’s just a guy that's over there and every now and then if we run into each other, it’s more of a Hi and Bye situation. But since he’s good friends with Dallas I have to realize that there will be times I may see him more than what I would like too.
The scene cuts back to Jalen and Isaiah, Jalen leads Isaiah into the living room and offers him anything to drink. Isaiah requests a shot of henny and Jalen shakes his head but in a playful manner.
JALEN HOLMES: Damn, starting already? I’m sure London is going to have a lot of alcohol at the party.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Yes, I need it.
Jalen nods as he walks over to the table and grabs the bottle of henny, he pours three shots and hands one to Isaiah.
JALEN HOLMES: Well here's to a good time.
The two air toast and both take their shots.
JALEN HOLMES: Ugh, henny so fucking strong.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I love it, I can feel the burn already in my throat. Anyway, I wanted you guys to know that Carlos and a friend of his are meeting us here too. I told Dallas I would have a plus one and he said he didn’t mind me bringing a plus one along since you guys had the space in your jeep.
JALEN HOLMES: Ummm, wait a minute? Does Dallas know it's Carlos? I don’t think that’s a good idea Isaiah.
JALEN HOLMES: I don’t know what the fuck Isaiah is thinking, this boy is being so fucking messy right now.
The scene cuts back to the two, by this time Dallas has entered the room.
DALLAS REED: Don’t think what is a good idea?
Dallas turns and looks at Isaiah.
DALLAS REED: What's good Isaiah?
Isaiah waves at Dallas while taking another shot.
JALEN HOLMES: Umm, well Isaiah said you were okay with him bringing a plus one with us to London’s party.
DALLAS REED: I said that was cool, so where’s your plus one at?
ISAIAH WOLFE: He’s on his way here now in the uber, he’s also bringing a friend to if you don’t mind but I think his friend is actually meeting us at the venue.
DALLAS REED: Oh then that’s cool, so what’s the problem?
JALEN HOLMES: Because his fucking plus one is Carlos.
Dallas pauses, looking at Jalen, then to Isaiah.
DALLAS REED: Are you serious?
DALLAS REED: After what happened between Brandon and carlos. One would think isaiah would know that this aint a good idea at all. Carlos aint never did nothing to me personally but a lotta my friends got bad blood with him. I dont know what isaiah is thinking, but im definitely gonna have to pull him aside real quick
The scene cuts to the outside, a black denali pulls up and inside Carlos is shown sitting in the back sipping some juice out of a red cup.
CARLOS TORREZ: Isaiah asked me to join him at London’s Celebration party, at first I was hesitant because everyone knows the history of London and I have but everyone also knows that I’ve tried to fix the issues between us in the past. So my mindset is not to attend and cause problems but to show support and to celebrate with him. Word on the street is that London and Anthony adopted a little boy and if that’s true, I would love to be a part of that celebration.
PRODUCER: Do you miss the friendship you had with the other guys? I mean you, London, and President started this whole thing.
CARLOS TORREZ: It's not that I miss the friendship, well I take that back Yes I do miss the friendship and like you said we started this whole thing, I think it's ridiculous this feud has lasted this long and maybe tonight with me showing up will hopefully open doors for us to rekindle that friendship.
Carlos shrugs.
CARLOS TORREZ: Tonight it's a start.
The scene cuts back to Carlos exiting the uber, he walks up the walkway and approaches the front door. Carlos knocks and then opens the door, he walks in and catches the three all in the main room and he could tell it was tension in the air.
CARLOS TORREZ: Why do I feel like I just walked into something I shouldn’t have?
ISAIAH WOLFE: Well it seems like Dallas has a problem that you're here.
CARLOS TORREZ: I don’t know why, I don’t have any issues with Dallas, this is our first time actually meeting and not in a huge group setting, so what’s the issue?
Jalen notices Dallas getting frustrated so he steps in between the two.
JALEN HOLMES: Look we just know that you have issues with a mutual friend of ours and I don’t think it would be a good idea for all of us to roll into a party together knowing there’s an issue.
CARLOS TORREZ: That's pathetic and childish as shit, any issue I have with Brandon or whoever else shouldn’t cause a problem between us.
DALLAS REED: I'm sure if I was beefing wit ya peoples you wouldn't be all up in my face either dude. I aint got no issue wit you but us rollin up with you is just asking for drama with my actual friend.
CARLOS TORREZ: I don’t care bruh, if it’s going to be an issue then I’ll just jump back in a uber and go the fuck home.
JALEN HOLMES: That's probably the best thing to do.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Thats dumb, and I won’t allow it. Fuck it, we’ll just go in our own Uber.
DALLAS REED: Yea y’all do that
DALLAS REED: Am I bugging? Yo everybody warned me about this dude man. Brandon is my friend. Isaiah is too but he being a lil messy right now and I aint tryna be around mess. So he can bounce with that nigga if he want to.
The scene returns to the group
Isaiah grabs Carlos' hand and the two make their way towards the door. Jalen turns and looks at Dallas who is very pissed off.
DALLAS REED: Yo, I don’t know what the fuck is going on with Isaiah but he’s trippin.
JALEN HOLMES: Seems like he needs a moment, I never trusted that boy anyway.
JALEN HOLMES: Isaiah has always been the messy type, I’ve said it before and I’ll continue to say it which is why me and him will never be friends. I just feel bad for Dallas because I know he has a close friendship with Isaiah, I think closer then the friendship he shares with Brandon but right is right and clearly Isaiah is in the wrong.
The scene cuts back to Jalen and Dallas who are getting ready to leave for the party.
JALEN HOLMES: Look let’s just go, have a good time and forget that bullshit even happened.
DALLAS REED: Man I already got a feeling tonight gonna be some shit.
The scene fades and reopens at the venue where London’s party is being held. The scene cuts to the parking lot where Adyn, Chase and Micah are shown pulling up in their Lyft. The three exit the car and make their way into the venue, they reach the inside and look around at the already packed venue and they make their way towards the bar.
CHASE LIU: I really don’t know London that well but I thought it was nice enough to invite me to his party, he’s been known to throw good parties so let’s just hope tonight is one of those nights, plus I plan on getting naked wasted because after these last couple of days I definitely need it.
The scene cuts back to the bar, Chase is shown ordering a drink while Micah stands behind him with his hand around Chase’s waist. Adyn looks over at the two and smiles.
ADYN RICHIE: Awe look at y’all.
Micah laughs.
MICAH GRAY: What are you talking about yo?
ADYN RICHIE: Y’all giving me couple vibes right now, it’s cute.
Chase turns and looks at Adyn.
CHASE LIU: Stop, we’re just friends.
ADYN RICHIE: Mmmhmmm, seems like more than friends to me.
ADYN RICHIE: Chase must think I’m boo boo the fool, or I was born yesterday because everyone and their mother can tell those two have something going on. I don’t understand what the big deal is, both of them are single as hell so why not have a little fun?
The scene cuts back to the three.
MICAH GRAY: Chill, he’s just the homie.
ADYN RICHIE: A close one at that, but I’ll leave it alone.
The scene cuts to the front entrance where Brandon is shown arriving at the party, he walks in and notices Brooklyn standing near the entrance and he walks over to her, greeting her with a hug.
BROOKLYN CARTER-WEST: BRANDON!!!! Hey boo, I didn’t know if you were coming or not.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: Trust me I wasn’t coming, but London is like a brother to me and I knew this was important to him so I can put all the bullshit aside to have fun for a night.
BROOKLYN CARTER-WEST: Well that’s good to hear and I’m here so I’ll make sure no one messes with you.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: I appreciate that Brooklyn, I always can count on you having my back.
Brandon leans in and gives Brooklyn another hug. The two continue chatting as the scene cuts back to the main floor. Adyn is shown dancing with a drink in his hand while Micah and Chase stand close by but instead of dancing the two are being flirty with each other.
CHASE LIU: We can’t do this here, people already talking.
MICAH GRAY: Who the fuck cares yo? Why are you so concerned about what people think? That nigga doing him so you shook do you.
PRODUCER: Are you and Chase dating?
MICAH GRAY: Nah, were just friends.
PRODUCER: But with benefits, correct?
MICAH GRAY: Next question.
The scene cuts back to the party, more guests arrive and the party is getting lit. The scene spans throughout the whole venue showing other familiar faces like Mercedes, Kylie Fox and even Roquel Weathers was in the building. The scene cuts to London who walks out from the back, he greets a few people before linking up with Brooklyn and Brandon who are now working on their third drink.
LONDON CARTER-KING: So far so good, seems like everyone is having a good time.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: Well duh you didn’t invite any of the ops, so of course everyone is having a good time.
LONDON CARTER-KING: I’ll drink to that.
The three click their drinks together before being interrupted by three people walking into the door. Both London and Brandon’s jaws drop to the floor. Brandon throws his drink to the floor and rushes through the crowd.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: At that moment I just lost it, I couldn’t even remember where I was, all I could see was RED.
The scene cuts back to Brandon making his way toward the entrance, both London and Brooklyn chase behind him trying to get his attention but Brandon ignores their yells as he reaches Isaiah who is standing with both Carlos and Arden.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?
ISAIAH WOLFE: I was invited and I was allowed to bring guests, is there a problem?
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: YOU ARE REALLY TRYING ME RIGHT NOW, THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?
CARLOS TORREZ: We haven’t been in the party for five minutes and Brandon is already acting a fool, I knew this wouldn’t be a good idea but Isaiah insisted on us showing up.
The scene cuts back to everyone, both London and Brooklyn are holding onto Brandon’s waist while he gets into Isaiah’s face.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Get out my face Brandon.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: OR WHAT HOE?
CARLOS TORREZ: Yo chill, you are ruining your friend's event.
LONDON CARTER-KING: I couldn’t believe Carlos had the audacity to show up at my party, he knows I don’t fuck with him like that.
The scene cuts back to the group.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: THIS IS THE SHIT IM TALKING ABOUT, YOU FUCKING BRINGING THESE TWO NIGGAS AROUND AND FOR WHAT? A fucking storyline, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!
Brandon tries to break free away from London and Brooklyn but their grip on him is too tight.
BROOKLYN CARTER-WEST: Brandon chill, and look Carlos I think y’all should leave.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: YEA GET THE FUCK ON CLOWNS!
ISAIAH WOLFE: I already knew that Brandon would act a fool, but I didn’t think that London would go along with it. I knew that London and Carlos had issues from the past, but the fact that there were so many people here I didn’t think it would be an issue if Carlos showed up, especially since he would have been in the cut somewhere not bothering anyone, Brandon is the one who brought the attention on us.
PRODUCER: But you can understand why Brandon was a little upset, I mean you didn’t come alone. You brought the guy who is making accusations that him and Brandon had a fling.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Who said they were accusations?
Isaiah smirks.
The scene cuts back to the group, by this time security has walked over to everyone to intervene, they start to escort Carlos, Arden and Isaiah to the exit while Brooklyn and London drag Brandon back over to one of the VIP sections London had set up for them.
LONDON CARTER-KING: You almost let them get you out of character tonight Brandon.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: FUCK THEM, FUCK THIS SHOW, AND FUCK PRODUCTION. THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING WHEN THEY PUT THEM THREE TOGETHER AND I’M NOT DOING THIS SHIT ANYMORE, FUCK THE LIFE, I’M TIRED OF Y’ALL FUCKING PLAYING WITH ME.
Brandon continues to throw a fit towards production and the camera crew, the crew continues filming which frustrates Brandon even more, he picks up a drink and throws it towards the cameraman’s direction which prompts one of the security to detain and pull Brandon to the side.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: I DON’T GIVE A FUCK, FUCK THIS SHOW.
LONDON CARTER-KING: And now you see why I quit a long time ago, you guys think it's cool to play with our lives just for tv but in reality it's really hurting us and the people around us. I don’t blame Brandon for reacting the way he did, if I was in that situation I probably would have reacted the same way and that’s just facts.
The scene cuts back to the party, Adyn is shown standing with Dallas and Jalen who are watching from the side.
JALEN HOLMES: Yo Isaiah is fucking messy, I can’t believe he still showed up with those two even after we told him it wasn’t a good idea.
DALLAS REED: Yeah man I don’t even know what to say, i’m like fucking speechless.
DALLAS REED: YO! What the fuck os goin on wit ya boy. I said it earlier. I love that boy to death but this is just messy. It's been a domino effect all day. I been doing good with staying away from the mess. And everybody already know I can't afford to be in it.
The scene returns to the group.
ADYN RICHIE: I’m so confused, but at least security stopped whatever was about to happen because that shit looked intense.
ADYN RICHIE: I really don’t know the backstory of everyone’s drama, but all I know is that it looked like it was about to be a battle in this bitch and I would have just sat here with my drink and watched the drama unfold.
The scene cuts back to the three.
DALLAS REED: Isaiah is really trippin, he’s been moving like a snake lately and I don’t like that shit.
JALEN HOLMES: Well I think after tonight he should probably keep a low profile, because by the looks of it Brandon won’t let this go.
The scene cuts to London who is still trying to calm his friend down, one of the party planners walks over to London advising him that it was time for his speech and London nods his head letting them know he’ll be over in a second. He reaches over and grabs a water from the tray the waiter was holding and hands it to Brandon who is still fuming with anger from what went down earlier.
LONDON CARTER-KING: You gotta calm down B, I made sure they were escorted out of the party.
BRANDON YOUNG-ANDREWS: Tell them to stop filming me, I don’t want to be on FUCKING CAMERA.
Brandon tosses another drink towards the cameraman’s direction, Brooklyn reaches for Brandon’s arm and pulls him towards her direction and the two walk toward the entrance. London brushes his shirt off and jumps up from the couch he was sitting on, he grabs the mic and he calls for the people in the crowd to settle down.
LONDON CARTER-KING: First off I want to thank everyone who is here tonight, this means a lot to me, to the people I know personally and who knew about this journey I was embarking on, I appreciate the love and support you have showed me and to the ones I don’t know and who all is probably wondering what the hell is going on, well I’m here to tell you.
London pauses for a second.
LONDON CARTER-KING: January of this year, Anthony and I adopted a baby boy.
The people in the crowd cheer and clap.
LONDON CARTER-KING: For months we thought about how we were going to extend our family, we looked into the surrogate route, the natural route and then of course adoption. And we decided to go with adoption because we wanted to help a child who didn’t have a family, who didn't understand or know the true meaning of love and to be able to show them what having a family is like. This party here now is to celebrate that, celebrate the life we are raising and helping to become a great man, a great individual. Now I’m sure you're all wondering where my baby is, well currently he is at home in his crib with his father but I’ll make sure to post a couple pictures on my social media so you all can get a glimpse of how adorable he is.
The crowd erupts into cheers leaving London speechless and in tears.
LONDON CARTER-KING: You know for the longest time Anthony and I struggled on what we were going to do when it came to our relationship, we even discussed divorce at one point but at the end of the day we both realized the love we have for each other and we both felt this was a great idea. Now all we have to do is figure out this living situation, right now the baby is with me in Miami but Anthony still wants me to move to LA permanently and I’m just not feeling that idea.
The scene cuts back to the party where London is still talking on the mic, he is joined by his sister Brooklyn who takes the mic away from him.
BROOKLYN CARTER-WEST: London I just want you to know how proud I am of you, I’ve watched you grow into being a WONDERFUL BROTHER, HUSBAND, and ENTREPRENEUR and I only wish you and Anthony the best on this new journey in life, I love you.
Brooklyn pulls her brother close to her and gives him a huge hug, she hands the mic back to him and London smiles.
LONDON CARTER-KING: ALRIGHT EVERYONE, LET’S FUCKING PARTY UNTIL THE COPS COME KNOCKING.
The crowd erupts into cheers as the music starts blasting again, London holds his drink in the air and starts dancing along with everyone as the scene fades downtown Atlanta, Chase is shown leaving the bar he works out, earphones in his ear he doesn’t look happy.
CHASE LIU: Today I had a meeting with my boss and lets just say it didn’t go to well, he’s upset that I’ve been spending most of my time in LA and not here at the bar but honestly the way business has been going I’ve been bartending where the money is and that’s LA. The only reason why I still work for this guy is because he did look out for me when I moved to ATL, we created a friendship that I thought would last forever.
Chase shrugs.
CHASE LIU: I guess I was wrong.
The scene cuts back to Chase still walking down the street, he turns the corner and bumps into Adyn who was already waiting for him at the Starbucks a few blocks away from the bar Chase works at. The two embrace each other before walking across the street to the mini park next door. Adyn hands Chase his Caramel Macchiato and the two sit down on the bench.
CHASE LIU: Thank you for the drink, I can cashapp you the money.
ADYN RICHIE: I’m not worried about it, whoever thought me and you would be sitting here today enjoying a coffee and not arguing.
CHASE LIU: I guess because we're both grown and won’t let someone we both messed with possibly destroy a great friendship between the two of us.
CHASE LIU: If you don’t remember, I guess I can refresh y’all memory but both Adyn and I dated the same guy, no not at the same time, I dated him first and then after we broke up my ex kind of fell in Adyn’s lap, unfortunately the two aren’t seeing each other anymore and I kind of saw that coming, my ex isn’t the type to commit so sadly I had to allow Adyn to see that for himself even though I tried to warn him in the beginning.
Chase winks at the camera and the scene cuts back to the two.
ADYN RICHIE: I remember when he would talk about you, he would make you seem like you were this horrible person but I didn’t believe him. The more he talked about you the more I noticed how bitter and jealous he was, he hated that you moved on so quickly from him.
CHASE LIU: Which to me is crazy because it was only a few days after we broke up that he was with you.
ADYN RICHIE: I remember meeting Israel after he broke it off with Chase, Izzy would tell me how Chase was sneaky and how he couldn’t be trusted but in reality it was Israel who was the sneaky person. I’m glad I found that out, but it's crazy for me to sit here and listen to Chase bash him the way he is because during my time with Israel there were a few times I noticed text messages from Chase while we were together and lets just say those texts weren’t friendly text, it was more of “I miss you and the dick” text but we won’t talk about that now, it's no point.
Adyn covers his mouth as the scene cuts back to the two.
ADYN RICHIE: We did move a little fast, for me it was just fun but he wanted to make it more serious than it was so I went along with it, I won’t lie I eventually fell for him but there were certain things I noticed that bothered me a lot and I’m young, I’m not going to sit around and waste time with a guy that I think is going to play with me.
CHASE LIU: I can agree to that.
ADYN RICHIE: Is that the same thing that happened with you and your ex?
Chase rolls his eyes.
CHASE LIU: Til this day I really don’t know what happened to me and him. I guess we just drifted apart, I feel like distance played a part but he also wasn’t loyal.
ADYN RICHIE: So he cheated?
CHASE LIU: I have my reasons to believe he did, but I just don’t have the proof. He swears up and down I have this thing with Micah but were only friends.
ADYN RICHIE: I mean to be honest me looking in on the outside, it kind of looks like you two are a couple. You're always together and the chemistry between you two is noticeable, plus the flirting on and off social media doesn’t help your case either.
Chase giggles.
CHASE LIU: Micah’s a flirt and so am I, I was with my ex for a long time and I’ve been out of the game so i don’t know it was just easier to flirt back with Micah because we already knew each other but nothing has ever happened between us.
CHASE LIU: I don’t understand why is that Micah has to be fucking me, why is it we can’t really just be friends and enjoy hanging around each other. Let’s get this straight so the blogs and the people who don’t know me can stop talking, Micah isn’t the reason why my relationship failed with my ex, MY EX is the reason why it failed and if you need to know details then maybe y’all should stalk him instead of worrying me half to death.
The scene cuts back to the two.
ADYN RICHIE: I honestly don’t care, I just think you two would make a cute couple but it does seem like the streets are focused on what is going on with y’all. But hey he's single, your single and it's not like both of y’all are ugly so why not have some fun.
CHASE LIU: Well everyone doesn't have that mindset, now people think I’m this horrible person because my ex and his sister went on a rant on social media making up all these lies, I’m just over the whole situation.
PRODUCER: Have you spoken to your ex since the break up and the tweets that were released?
Chase shakes his head no.
CHASE LIU: I have no intentions of talking to that dirt bag or his raggedy sister, they tried to go on social media and slander my name and my character and I won't go for it. I won’t tolerate disrespect especially from someone who I held down for months, so the only thing I can do is love from a distance and wish him the best.
The scene cuts back to the two.
CHASE LIU: Honestly enough about my ex, he’s irrelevant at this point. What I do want to discuss is the party last night, that shit was wild.
ADYN RICHIE: Yeah it was, I kind of feel bad for London. When Isaiah, Carlos and whoever that fine korean man was that walked into the party you can tell the whole mood changed.
CHASE LIU: Well clearly they weren’t welcomed because it was about to go down, I was ready for the fight to break out but luckily security was there to make sure everything went smoothly.
ADYN RICHIE: Oh yeah security wasn’t playing, and I’ve seen Brandon fight and normally his fights end in blood baths so it was probably a good thing they were there.
CHASE LIU: I wonder why London invited Isaiah and Carlos to the party anyway, don’t they all have issues with each other?
ADYN RICHIE: Look I don’t know, I only went for the drinks and the food. I don’t really pay attention to other people’s drama unless it involves me and with them it doesn’t so the only thing I was planning on doing was sitting back and watching the animals go at like we were in a zoo.
CHASE LIU: Damn, animals though?
CHASE LIU: The way Adyn is talking you would have thought his drink was spiked, I don’t agree with him calling them animals because it was an reason why London and Brandon were upset, but whatever that’s none of my business.
The scene cuts back to the two, Chase looks down at his phone and notices the time.
CHASE LIU: Time is going by so fast, I have to get home and help my sister with this dinner she’s making for a new potential boyfriend and if you know my sister she can’t cook. So I’m trying to help her impress this guy that she’s having over but I don’t know what she’s going to do when I’m not around or if I’m working.
ADYN RICHIE: Sounds like a good brother, but luckily there’s uber eats or some sort of carryout, she can always play it off.
The two laugh as the scene fades and reopens inside of Carlos' condo, Carlos is shown standing behind his bar fixing a drink for him and his friend Arden Cho. Carlos walks over to Arden who is sitting on the ledge of the couch and hands him the glass or red wine.
CARLOS TORREZ: It’s been 24 hours after the shit show that went down at London’s so called celebration party, I went to the party with the intention of making up with London and hopefully repairing our broken friendship but it didn’t go that way.
PRODUCER: I mean you popped up unannounced and you brought someone who Brandon doesn’t want around.
CARLOS TORREZ: Look I can’t help that Brandon’s secrets are coming to light, that's not my problem. LA is small and when you knock elbows with all the important people, I’m talking about the socialites, the people with money and status you bound to have some mutual friends and that's exactly what we have. Brandon shouldn’t have been bothered so much if he doesn’t have anything going on with Arden, but that boy was IN HIS FEELINGS and in them heavy.
Carlos smirks.
CARLOS TORREZ: So what does that tell you?
The scene cuts back to the two.
CARLOS TORREZ: I know London’s party was a little crazy, I do apologize for dragging you out of the house and taking you all the way there only to stay for a few minutes.
Arden chuckles.
ARDEN CHO: I kind of knew it was going to go that way.
CARLOS TORREZ: Brandon is a child, or at least acts like one. All that RAH RAH I want to fight nonsense has to stop at some point especially if he wants people to take him seriously as a businessman.
ARDEN CHO: It was all an act, he felt threatened and the only want he could respond was in that matter, and that’s okay.
ARDEN CHO: I wasn’t going to the part with the intentions of causing drama, I really wanted to go and have fun and possibly network and meet people. It’s a lot of individuals out here with great ideas and different ways of bringing in some money and that was really the only thing on my mind. Now I knew there would be a possibility of me running into Brandon at the party, but the way he reacted towards me was very rude, I just didn’t understand the reasoning behind it especially since I still am a silent partner in his store Yung Fetish.
The scene cuts back to the two.
ARDEN CHO: I was going to reach out to Brandon to figure out what his issue is, I kind of knew something was off after he came to me a few weeks ago trying to buy my half of his company.
Carlos almost chokes on his drink.
CARLOS TORREZ: WHAAAAT?
ARDEN CHO: Yes! Brandon had his lawyer draw up some paperwork that was sent over to mines, he wanted to buy me out and make himself the sole owner of Yung Fetish.
CARLOS TORREZ: Ah, he’s cleaning up all the loose ends it seems like.
ARDEN CHO: Well whatever he’s trying to do won’t work right now, the offer he made was to low and plus I like having that store, it actually brings in a lot of money and I was thinking about expanding it and making it bigger, or possibly adding another location somewhere else so my answer to his offer was no.
CARLOS TORREZ: That’s hilarious to me, old sneaky ass Brandon.
ARDEN CHO: I will agree that he does have a sneaky side, a lot of stuff he wants to discuss especially when it comes to me he doesn’t want anyone else to know about it.
ARDEN CHO: Brandon didn’t want me to appear on the show, I remember the day he found out he sent me this inappropriate text message that he later apologized for.
Arden reaches in his pocket and grabs his phone, he scrolls through his messages until he finds the one Brandon sent him.
ARDEN CHO: His words were . “I can’t believe you are signing on to make appearances on the show, and then not even tell me. No one knows we are partners where it comes to Yung Fetish and I wanted to keep it that way, you see i have people out in these streets trying to slander my name, my character and my business and for you to sign onto the show and spread false rumors about us is fucking insane and I promise you if you try to do anything that could possibly harm me, my business, or my relationship then I will be forced to either handle it like we’re in the streets or take your ass to court and sue you, I’m not fucking playing, I didn’t do anything to you for you to betray me like this.” And those were his words verbatim.
The scene cuts back to the two.
CARLOS TORREZ: I honestly don’t see the big deal about you two dating or having a fling while he was broken up with his husband, thousands of couples go through that process, they break up, they may fuck other peple but eventually the end up back together.
ARDEN CHO: Yeah it does look like that but when Brandon and I were messing around, he made it seem like his ex was completely out of the picture and that we we’re going to build something. Now maybe he just pumped my head up with lies because he felt like that would help him get into my pockets, which it did but I have receipts if I need to pull them out. But I’m not here to do that, in due time he’ll face his karma head on and I’m sure it will be a losing battle for him.
CARLOS TORREZ: Damn I felt that.
The two continue talking as the scene fades and reopens outside of Brandon’s Hidden Hills Mansion, the camera crew along with production are shown standing outside of Brandon’s home waiting for Brandon to open up the gate so they can come inside and film but Brandon isn’t cooperating right now.
PRODUCER: Brandon’s refusing to open the gate or his doors to his home, he’s telling some of our other producers that he has officially quit the show and does not want to film.
The producer continues to ring the bell from outside the gate hoping Brandon will open but he doesn’t.
PRODUCER: I’ve sent him numerous text messages and have called him several times but he is refusing to answer any of my calls or texts, at this point it will turn into a legal thing and I guess we should just pack up and leave.
The producers motion for the camera crew to pack everything up, before jumping in the car, a black Porsche Carrera pulls up in front of Brandon’s gate. The car comes to a complete stop and the driver door opens revealing London inside, London steps out and walks over to the main producer.
PRODUCER: Thank God you are here, maybe you can talk some sense into Brandon because we’re here to film him but he’s not letting anyone on his property.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Yeah, that's why I’m here. Brandon says he is done with the show and he doesn’t want to film.
PRODUCER: You do know he’s under contract and that this could possibly lead to him being sued.
LONDON CARTER-KING: He is aware of that but there’s nothing I can do about it, I’ve tried to plead with him to let you guys in but he isn’t having it today. So the only thing I can tell y’all to do is just pack it up and maybe try another day, just give him some time.
The producer shakes his head and turns around heading back towards his car, London stands there for a second before opening his phone and sending a text message to Brandon letting him know that everyone was leaving.
LONDON CARTER-KING: I understand why Brandon doesn’t want to be involved with the show, I mean hell the same thing that happened to him happened to me years ago it makes sense as to why he wants to leave and the only thing I can do is support his decision, yeah I get this is reality tv but at some point you have to stop playing with people’s lives.
The scene cuts back to London, the last car leaves off the lot and the gate finally opens, London hops back into his car and drives up the long driveway as the scene fades and reopens outside Sunny Bistro, a black tesla pulls up to the front entrance and inside Sean Williams and Mercedes are shown.
SEAN WILLIAMS: It's been a long week and right now I need some friend time with my bestie Alicia, she said she’s never been to Sunny Bistro, a spot Dre and I frequent a lot. Since Dre’ and I weren’t really speaking right now, I figured I should get out of the house and grab some good food.
The scene cuts back to the two still sitting inside the car.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I appreciate you coming out with me, I really didn’t want to be alone right now.
MERCEDES: You know I hate to see you like this, I know Dre’ fine but damn Sean is it worth you being sad all the time?
SEAN WILLIAMS: I don’t doubt Dre’ loves me, but him still being involved with women and keeping me to the side is kind of getting to me, I should have never agreed to it.
Mercedes turns and looks at Sean confused.
MERCEDES: Wait what? You agreed to him fucking females on the side.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I can’t change a person's sexuality or mindset, he still has an interest in women so what can I do? I rather him be honest with me then him out here doing slick shit and me finding out about it.
MERCEDES: How about you find someone who wants only you without the extra perks, Dre’ fine but there’s other fine men out here.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I wouldn’t expect Mercedes to understand, I don’t expect anyone to understand our situation but it's what we agreed on. When I first met Dre’ he was upfront with me about his sexuality and how he wasn’t out with who he was, I get it. Even though I’m comfortable with myself, I can’t expect someone else to be so comfortable especially in the beginning. You can call me foolish if you want but this is what I want, I guess.
The scene cuts back to the two still sitting inside the car, Sean looks up and notices Dre’ walking out with a beautiful woman, he walks behind her with his hand on her waist and the two sit down at one of the tables outside. Sean sat there motionless, his heart felt like it fell out of his body.
MERCEDES: Are you okay?
Sean ignores her question, he points toward Dre’ and the mystery woman and Mercedes looks toward that direction, she shakes her head disgusted at what she sees, she turns and grabs the door handle forcing the door open but Sean grabs her arm.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Where are you going?
MERCEDES: I was going to politely walk over there and pour that smoothie he over there sucking on all on his head and turn around and tell the girl he’s with that he’s fucking my male bestfriend.
Sean starts laughing.
SEAN WILLIAMS: The crazy thing is, I really can see Mercedes doing that. But there's nothing I can do, I don’t want to embarrass him and if he I out him right now it could get ugly, I need to get the hell out of here.
The scene cuts back to the car, Mercedes tries to get out of the car but Sean pleads with her to close the door, Mercedes shakes her head and closes the door.
MERCEDES: This is ridiculous Sean, I can’t believe you're about to sit here and let this dude disrespect you in front of your face like that.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I’m not trying to cause a scene right now, look I expect for shit like this to happen but he promised me that he would always tell me when it would-
MERCEDES: Boy fuck all that, let me go over there and slap him against his head one good time.
SEAN WILLIAMS: Nah, we can go somewhere else.
Mercedes grunts fall back into the seat, Sean drives off fast hoping Dre’ didn’t notice his car speeding off, the scene fades and reopens in Chicago, IL. The scene shows Music Hits Studio, a local recording studio where some of the local artists visit and make music. The scene cuts to one of the studio rooms where Micah Gray is shown chopping it up with some of the producers inside.
MICAH GRAY: I just touched down in Chicago a few minutes ago and went straight to the studio, I don’t play when it comes to making music and lately my mind hasn’t been on my craft. My homie Tommii Drekko finally popped back up on earth and hit me, he said he was living out Chicago right now and wanted me to fly in to see if we can make some magic and make the world go crazy.
Micah rubs his hands together as the scene cuts back to the studio, Micah is shown busting a freestyle to one of the beats the producers dropped for him, the door swings open and Tommii Drekko walks in wearing a black and gray puma suit with his iPhone in one hand and a white cup in the other. Tommii daps up both of the producers and then Micah.
MICAH GRAY: Ayo, can you give us a minute?
Both the producers nod and exit the room.
MICAH GRAY: My nigga, what the fuck is going on?
TOMMII DREKKO: Everything plus the rent, you know I got into some trouble a few months back so me sitting in this studio right now is love.
MICAH GRAY: Yeah I heard about that shit bruh, the streets are rough which is why I keep telling you to quit that shit and focus on the music.
MICAH GRAY: Tommii a cool ass dude but the nigga can be an idiot sometimes, you know what I won’t even put him down lke that and call him an idiot because when it comes to the music he’s a genius. He just makes bad decisions and what person doesn’t? But the homie is free now so the only thing he can do is move forward and do what's right and I’ll help however way I can.
The scene cuts back to the two.
TOMMII DREKKO: Most def, why you think I’ve been up and down youtube, IG, and Twitter trying to promote my shit.
MICAH GRAY: I’ve peeped it, you got some fire on ya hands. That’s why I think we can make some dope ass music.
TOMMII DREKKO: Yeah I gotta get focus, gotta leave these hoes alone bruh but I’ve been gone so you know a nigga needed some attention.
Tommii laughs as he takes a sip of his drink.
MICAH GRAY: Oh I feel you bruh, I’ve been solo dolo for a minute now. This music has been my main focus lately, but I ain’t gonna lie though, at night when I’m by myself it fucks with me a little.
TOMMII DREKKO: I thought you was fucking with ole boy that looked like yo ex, or are you back to females now?
Micah chuckles.
MICAH GRAY: I still fuck with both, I got a little shorty who got a dude so she only hit me when she want some pipe, but she cool with my situation and I’m cool with hers because I’m not checking for no commitment right now. If you are talking about Chase, he is cool but he is still dealing with his breakup from his ex and my patience running thin with that.
MICAH GRAY: I said this before, if Chase was trying to be exclusive then I would probably entertain that shit. But he is still trying to move on from his ex, so right now I rather be there as his friend then trying to be his lover because I don’t have the time for the mixed motions.
PRODUCER: Who is the mystery female?
MICAH GRAY: Now why would I tell yall nosey niggas that?
The scene cuts back to the two inside the studio.
TOMMII DREKKO: Being a hoe is so much easier, no strings attached, and just plain fun without all the extra feelings.
MICAH GRAY: Ha, I think I’ve hoe’d enough in my day bruh, these hoes ain’t loyal either.
TOMMII DREKKO: And that's on God!
The two laugh and the scene fades to black.
