As the party continues, the camera goes outside where Hadi and Jasmine, both sporting semi-casual attire, walk up the concrete path to Chanel’s home. Hadi is looking at the home, feeling slightly nervous. Jasmine, who looks at him, catches on to it.
JASMINE REY: You feeling nervous. Those sunglasses ain’t foolin me.
HADRIAN ALI: Actually, yeah.
JASMINE REY: Why? Is this group too much for you? *chuckles*
Confessional Cam
HADRIAN ALI:
All of that talk about Jasmine not being well acquainted to Atlanta, and I ain’t even practicin what I’m preachin. Atlanta has a huge LGBTQ community, sure, but there's a difference between being around one in public, and being around a whole slew of them in a party. I understand that this is a completely different atmosphere here at this party, but it’s something I’ll have to dive into in order to expand my business. Jasmine being my plus one could make everythang more comfortable enough to market for some new clientele, and some opportunities for her own endeavors. She’s a people person…..
*looks away*
….most of the time. Whenever she’s on business mode, she has this natural ability to communicate. She may not be feelin Atlanta, especially with the mood she has been in these past couple of days, but hopefully that little pep talk in the car cheered her up.
I ain’t gonna lie though. That was a nice mansion we were going in.
Cuts back to the conversation.
HADRIAN ALI: Not really. I can take wild personalities. This is just a new set of people I have to interact with. Lord knows what I have to say to market myself here.
JASMINE REY: You’d be surprised at the amount of men you’ve trained already that could be on the down low, or are already out. It’s nothing to be afraid of.
Hadrian chuckles, shaking his head.
JASMINE REY: Besides, just by looking at you, that could grab their attention.
HADRIAN ALI: I guess, Jas. The question is will you be alright. You’ve been on a jealous rampage lately.
JASMINE REY: Please, I have nothing to worry about here.
HADRIAN ALI: Oh, word? What makes you say that?
JASMINE REY: Because I brought my mace.
Hadrian chuckles once more.
Once they get to the entrance, they notice Chanel front and center, with security behind her.
HADRIAN ALI: Is that the host?
JASMINE REY: I believe it is. She sure looks familiar though. Really familiar.
Once they got closer to Chanel, Jasmine’s eyes widened.
JASMINE REY: Malakai?!
Hadi mouths the name as well with a questioned look on his face, until it finally settles in that the drag queen and Malakai were the same person.
Confessional Cam
HADRIAN ALI:
It didn’t occur to me that this Chanel who invited me was actually Malakai, a mutual acquaintance through Jas. I remember giving Malakai some advice a few years ago about bulking up a little bit, and since then, he visits the gym from time to time. I honestly didn’t expect Malakai to be...in a dress tho. That surprised me.
Hadi pauses to think about it.
HADRIAN ALI:
You know what? Nevermind, it didn’t surprise me. I mean, it’s Atlanta. Everybody either got dirt, or got a different side to em.
Cuts back to scene as Jasmine and Hadrian are both being greeted by Chanel with hugs.
CHANEL SNOW:
Oh Hadrian, boo thanks for coming. So for the security behind me, I already had to throw someone out of the party for acting up.
Confessional Cam
[/color] [/div] CHANEL SNOW:
I’ve known Hadrian for sometime now, and no we haven’t hooked up but chile if he wanted a taste he could surely get it.
Chanel winks at the camera.
CHANEL SNOW:
But this is his first time meeting Chanel, he’s only met Malachi. He’s a gentleman though, a respectful one so I was happy he was able to come to my party and show support.
The scene cuts back to Hadrian and Jasmine, shocked over Chanel talking about kicking guests out.
HADRIAN ALI: Oh word?
JASMINE REY: Already? People out here acting a mess this early? Why? What happened?
CHANEL SNOW:
Yes girl and I’m not for it, this is something important to me so I’m not allowing that mess in here, but anyway it's so great for you two to join us, if you want we have food inside, of course drinks and then if you make your way towards the back you can check out some of the products I have for sell, unfortunately, Hadrian I don’t have many male products back there but Jasmine there's a few items back there for females, I’m doing a makeup and hair line so you know show your girl some support.
Chanel smiles.
CHANEL SNOW:
Maybe have this fine fella buy you some stuff, his treat.
Chanel winks at Hadrian, which Hadrian laughs at.
JASMINE REY: Just showing you some love by supporting your products the same way you did Hadi’s is more than enough. Can't wait to get my face beat with your makeup. Also, I need a drink or two while I am there.
Jasmine snaps her fingers as Chanel gives security the green light for the couple to enter the party. Jasmine goes in first, while Hadrian adds….
HADRIAN ALI: Nice seeing you again, fam.
….before following behind her.
Confessional Cam
JALEN DALLAS:
I didn’t know what I was getting myself into with bringing Trinity to this party, Chanel said I could bring a plus one but would she really be mad if it was Trinity well if she was I guess I was about to find out. I honestly wasn’t trying to be shady, I really didn’t want to come alone.
Jalen shrugs.
JALEN DALLAS:
Let’s just hope this night goes smoothly.
The scene cuts back to the party, Jalen and Trinity are shown making their way down the sidewalk and into Chanel’s home, greeted at the door Jalen notices Chanel towards the entry.
JALEN DALLAS:
Oh boy, are you ready?
Trinity nods.
JALEN DALLAS:
Girl I just don’t want no issues forreal.
Before the two could reach the front door, Chanel steps outside, she notices the two walking up the walkway and she rolls her eyes.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHANEL SNOW:
Part of me wants to get ratchet and curse both these hoes out, but you know what this is my party and I don’t want to embarrass myself or them.
Chanel pauses.
CHANEL SNOW:
But forreal Jalen should have given me the heads up, now don’t get me wrong I really don’t have an issue with Trinity, but I’m sure she has a problem with me. And I know Zeno was stopping by to show his support so I know if she’s here and he’s here, it’ll be a problem.
The scene cuts back to Jalen, Trinity, and Chanel standing in front of Chanel’s house.
CHANEL SNOW:
Hey Jalen, thanks for coming. (Chanel leans in and gives him a kiss on the cheek, she turns and looks at Trinity.) Oh Hey Trinity, I didn’t expect to see you here tonight, with you being so busy and all.
Chanel smirks.
CHANEL SNOW:
But it's good you could make it tonight.
Trinity puts on a fake smirk.
Trinity Monroe:
I know right. Thought I'd spare a little time. You know. Jalen did invite me. And I hear everyone is here so I thought I'd show my face. Show love.
The scene fades to a confessional cam
Confessional Cam
Trinity Monroe:
“I could slap that fake ass smile off her face right now. But I have more important things to worry about right now. Like the fact that Zeno might actually be here with this bitch. He has no idea that I'm here, and when I roll up on him, it will not be pretty. for now, I gotta keep it cute though. But trust and believe, when the time comes, Trinity will shut this entire party down if she has to… Okerr”
She snaps as the scene fades back to the party.
Trinity Monroe:
“you put together a cute Lil event mama.
CHANEL SNOW:
I mean of course darling, nothing but the best when I put on an event and of course everyone is in the building, the elite of Atlanta is here.
Chanel smiles.
CHANEL SNOW:
Well I just hope you two enjoy each other, have drinks, there’s food inside and of course take a look at some of the products I’m selling and show your support. You know your girl making boss moves right now so all love is appreciated, and you can leave the hate on the North side.
Trinity chuckles
Trinity Monroe:
“Girl you have all the jokes. Haha. I think I will have a few drinks. Excuse me gentlemen.
She winks and makes her way to the bar as the scene fades into a confessional cam.
Confessional Cam
Girl… let me exit that scene before I show miss thing where I'm really from.
The scene fades back to the party. Dallas is shown entering the front entrance. The first person he notices is Trinity at the bar. He makes his way over to her as the scene fades into a confessional cam.
Confessional Cam
DALLAS REED:
“I'm finally here. Had a few things I needed to take care of before this Lil event but I'm here now, ready to turn up and have a good time. Hopefully it don't get too crazy. Cuz I see Trinity here. Didn't even know she was gonna be here. Imma slide up on Bae and see what's good. I wonder if Zeno know she here. Cuz if rumors really are true. Shit might get real.”
The scene fades back to the party. Dallas is shown approaching Trinity. He hugs her from behind.
DALLAS REED:
“Looking good bae. Damn.”
Startled, she turns around to see Dallas.
Trinity Monroe: “Boy what are you doing here? I guess everybody got an invite but me. I'm glad you're here though. I might need you later.
DALLAS REED:
“What for?”
Trinity Monroe:
“Word on the street is Zeno is here with that dragon. Apparently them two been kicking it a lot lately. And you know I'm not here for it.
The scene fades to a confessional cam
Confessional Cam
DALLAS READ:
“I still don't know about telling Trini that I saw Ole boy with Chanel at that fashion show. But it might be too late for that. She already got her suspicions and ain't nothing gonna stop her from confronting dude. I just don't wanna be anywhere near when shit hits the fan.
The scene fades back to the party.
Jaser Cruz:: So I got invited to this party. Now normally I don't care for these kind of things but seeing as what happened earlier with Fernando I needed a break.
Jaser is shown arriving at the party dressed down in something casual but cute. He makes his way through speaking to people here and there before noticing someone familiar in the distance.
Confessional Cam
Jaser Cruz:: Just my luck I would bump into Riley out at this party. At least I don't have to fake smile any more.
The scene cuts back to Jaser and Riley hugging..the two being heard as they shout over the music greeting each other all smiles.
RILEY:
Bruh-bruuuuh!
Confessional Cam
RILEY:
The party was cool so far and I was enjoying it but… y'all know those moments when you're at a party or something then you catch a look from a friend and y'all don't have to say nothing? Y'all just KNOW? Yeah that's what just happened.
Riley just shrugged with a smile as it cut back to them at the party.
RILEY:
Wait, hold up...I thought you said you wasn't gon’ come?
Jaser Cruz:: Nigga!
Jaser laughs
Jaser Cruz:: I wasn't until Ferny should up at my condo. I needed to blow off some steam.
Jaser looks around at the partygoers
Jaser Cruz:: This place seems odd as shit.
RILEY:
Well look, fu(beep) him and fu(beep) whatever noise he was was trying to talk. You here and you free. You might as well go in like you ain't got no damn sense.
Riley reaches over the bar pulling out a bottle and two glasses, pouring two full drink for them as they knock it back and immediately pour up a 2nd round.
Chanel is shown making her way over to where Riley and Jaser are standing, she notices Isaiah standing on the side so she stops by him first to check on him.
CHANEL SNOW:
What’s wrong boo, are you ok?
Isaiah nods.
CHANEL SNOW:
You just got here and you’re already standing in the corner, who did you come with or did you come alone?
Isaiah points over at Riley who is still talking it up with Jaser.
[CHANEL SNOW:
Oh we need to go ahead and nip this in the bud, because this is too much.
Confessional Cam
CHANEL SNOW:
I don’t know why Isaiah is acting all shy, I mean he can pop off on Twitter but when he is face to face with the situation he has no words. I get this is my party so maybe he just trying to be respectful towards me but baby if I went to a party with a guy and he was all up on someone else, it would be a problem.
Chanel flips her hair.
CHANEL SNOW:
No shade.
The scene cuts back to Chanel and Isaiah, Chanel grabs Isaiah’s arm and pulls him towards Riley and Jaser, interrupting the conversation they had going on.
CHANEL SNOW:
So nice for you guys to join me, I didn’t even know you we’re here.
Chanel smirks. Riley looks at Isaiah confused and pointing at Chanel as if to say “Who dis?”
Confessional Cam
Jaser Cruz::
I wondered when she'd show up. After what happened I was looking forward to airing my grievances.
The scene cuts back to guys. Jaser is seen grinning ear to ear.
Jaser Cruz:: Could've said the same thing about you but that caked up face can be seen a mile away.
Jaser pauses as Riley giggles.
Jaser Cruz:: Hello Isaiah, let's cut to the chase shall we? I don't have a issue with you. I have a issue with your friend over there. And the it bothered me you felt so freely to speak on a lie and pass it off as a truth.
Isaiah stands there speechless for a second, he shakes his head. Riley looked on with his mouth gaped open and put his arm around Jaser’s neck trying to veer him away to cool down, but Jaser was ready AF at this point
Confessional Cam
ISAIAH WOLFE:
WHOA! Homeboy didn’t waste any time, I guess this so called lie is really bothering him, I mean hey if it was really a lie I wouldn’t even entertain the topic but he’s so pressed about it. But that’s cool though, its good to finally meet Ms. Jaser, let me shut this dude up once and for all.
The scene cuts back to Chanel, Isaiah, Riley, and Jaser.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
I mean you’re hype little boy and for what? I don’t understand what the issue is.
Isaiah giggles.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
I went on a date with your friend over there and a few days later I heard that you two we’re dating, so I asked him a question and once he gave me the answer I left it alone. But what I don’t understand is why you’ve been in my mentions or even speaking my name after the fact, are you really that mad?
Chanel stands in front of Isaiah.
CHANEL SNOW:
Look this is not the place for this, maybe you guys need to sit down and talk about this somewhere else but not here, I’m not for it.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
I mean he feeling a little froggy right now so I’m waiting for him to leap, he act like I went around talking about his family or stole money from him or something, honey if you kept your ass out the streets then maybe your name wouldn’t be in it.
Confessional Cam
CHANEL SNOW:
I was shocked, like I didn’t know what to say. I was the one who told Isaiah about Jaser and Riley but it was only a rumor that I heard. I mean Atlanta is small and in the gay community it’s like everyone knows everyone's
business so the girls are going to talk no matter what, but this drama going on right now?
Chanel shakes her head.
CHANEL SNOW:
I’m not for it.
It cuts back to Riley speaking to Isaiah now
RILEY:
Oh my damn. Nigga can we please just drop this? We spent the whole car ride over here talking about this sh(beep). And none of this wouldn't even be a problem if Chanel would've just minded her damn business about people she don't know in the first place!
Confessional Cam
RILEY:
At this point, I'm thinking Chanel pulled this rumor out of her flat ass. You know your mouth’s a cage for ya tongue if you just close ya teeth, right?
Cuts back to the party.
Jaser Cruz::
If I recall you entered my mentions. And wanted to be all cute and coy about the shit don't play. I didn't even know who you were till you found your way into my feed.
CHANEL SNOW:
Wait a minute, I was actually going to apologize for even repeating the rumor because it wasn’t done maliciously, Isaiah brought up you’re name in conversation and all I said was to watch out because I heard you two were hanging out and were really close. Listen here Riley this is my home and my party and I won’t be disrespected at all, you don’t write me any checks or pay any of my bills so I don’t need to sit back and listen to any of this bullshit. You two are suppose to be here to support me not cause a freaking scene.
Isaiah looks at Chanel.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
To be honest I don’t even know why we’re entertaining this mess and Riley that’s messed up for you to even try and call me out when Jaser was the one who popped off at the mouth and brought this shit up, I asked you before we got here and I left it alone.
Isaiah shakes his head.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
Matter of fact, you can ride with Jaser on the way home.
Confessional Cam
ISAIAH WOLFE:
I was pissed, like really pissed. How dare Riley? I get why Jaser all bossed up, he probably had a few dicks
Isaiah pauses, then laughs.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
I’m sorry I meant to say drinks, but hell probably both. He’s probably had plenty in him tonight so he feeling his pussy but thats cool. He means nothing to me, I could buy his life, sell it and rebuy it at the highest bidder.
Isaiah takes a sip of his drunk.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
Bum ass bitch.
The scene cuts back to Isaiah, Riley, Jaser, and Chanel.
Jaser Cruz:
Oh Chanel, or is it Malachi? How you gonna go running your mouth and then wanna bitch up when the consequences of your actions come to bite you in the ass? You wanna sit here and act like this is all beneath you and shit but you the reason for all this. You're a sorry tired ass hoe with nothing better to do but write checks with that mouth of yours you can't cash. Like I knew you like to dress up as a bitch, I didn't know you liked acting like one too.
Confessional Cam
Jaser Cruz:
A messy nigga the type to stir up shit and then run and hide behind a lap dog when shit gets real. Malachi I see you, I see through your shit. Play innocent all you want. Cause it's not like your ass doesn't have shit out there about you.
The scene cuts back to the guys as more partygoers start to notice he verbal spat, Chanel rolls her eyes.
CHANEL SNOW:
Look you know what y’all getting to hype at my party right now and like I said I don’t want this drama so Riley and Jaser, you two can kindly escort yourself off of my property and please don’t make this difficult because I do have security here and if you don’t want to leave properly then I will kindly have them escort you out.
Confessional Cam
CHANEL SNOW:
I couldn’t take it, these ghetto ass fools got to go. I got people here who are thinking about investing in my products and these ratchet ass queens out here causing a scene.
Chanel tosses her hands up, chucking up the deuces.
CHANEL SNOW:
Goodbye!
The scene cuts back to the party.
CHANEL SNOW:
So please leave, thank you!
Jaser bucks up at Chanel but Isaiah gets in between the two. Jaser starts laughing as Chanel backs up. Suddenly a drink is thrown in the way of the guys setting both Isaiah and Jaser off.
Confessional Cam
Jaser Cruz:
So I get up to Chanel after his ass threatened me. Next thing I know here comes Fido like a good little pup trying to stop everything. Then someone from her direction throws a drink and I just lost it.
The scene cuts back as Jaser and Isaiah are getting pulled apart by security.
CHANEL SNOW:
SECURITY! SECURITY!
Chanel stands on the side screaming at the top of her lungs.
Hadi and Jasmine can be seen at the bar, noticing the ruckus in the distance. Jasmine can be seen with her mouth open, shocked, while Hadi is chuckling.
Confessional Cam
HADRIAN ALI:
I see this fight breakin out, and I’m like “Oh sh-*beep*, mane!” Drinks thrown everywhere and security bum-rushin. That was wild. Fights at a party happen, but with how security cleared the whole area out, you would think they was shootin. Guns blazin and some sh-*beep*.
Cuts back to scene.
Chanel Snow: ESCORT THEM OFF MY PROPERTY NOW!
Confessional Cam
CHANEL SNOW:
I cannot believe these two, a drink? Really? Everyone was standing outside, I was so embarrassed.
Chanel places her head in her hands.
CHANEL SNOW:
A DISASTEEERRRRR!!!
Chanel screams in the palm of her hands as the scene fades back to the party. Security is shown walking with Riley and Jaser down the street towards a car that was waiting for them, the scene fades back to the party where Isaiah is trying to apologize to Chanel but Chanel ignores his apologies, Chanel walks off back towards her party leaving Isaiah on the outside shocked at to what just happened, the scene fades to a black range rover with tinted windows shown parking in front of valet. As the door opens, Zeno Barnes is shown getting out of the car. He takes his sunglasses off. Handing his keys to the valet, he notices people being escorted out by security. The scene fades into a Confessional cam.
Confessional Cam
Trazeno Barnes:
“Yo. It's like that already? I'm pulling up to this party and I already see people getting thrown out. They turning up in there. I told the homie Chanel I would stop through her party or what not. And I do feel bad about lying to Trinity about where I was going. But things between us are going good right now. And Chanel is a friend. But I know Trinity would overreact. So in this case. What she don't know definitely won't hurt her.”
the scene fades back to the inside of the party where Dallas and Trinity are shown talking.
Trinity Monroe: “I think I'm about to head out.”
Dallas: “Why you wanna leave?”
Trinity Monroe: “This little shindig isn't really my scene to be honest. It's a little low budget for my taste. And to be honest I keep feeling light shade coming from Chanel. And I am not here for it baby.”
The scene fades to a confessional cam.
Confessional Cam
Trinity Monroe:
“I'm not really feeling this little gathering at all. Since I got here, Chanel has been throwing nothing but shade in my direction. I mean I know we aren't bffs but we did hang out a few times. And it was a cute time I guess. But I probably should've gotten the hint when she didn't personally invite me.”
She rolls her eyes
Trinity Monroe:
“Child but I had other motives for being here anyway. And I haven't even seen Zeno here, so maybe I was overreacting. I've been trying to trust him because he's really been trying to prove to me that his ways are behind him. So I think it's time Ms. Monroe makes her exit, stage left.”
The scene fades back into the party. Trinity is shown kissing Dallas on the cheek. She then makes her way to the front entrance. The scene then switches views back to Zeno who is now walking down the hallway toward the party. The cameras go back and forth between Trinity and Zeno who are now in the same hallway. The two bump into each other in the middle. The scene fades to a confessional cam.
Confessional Cam
[/i] [/div] Trinity Monroe:
“And then there he was.”
The scene fades to Trinity who is now stopped in front of Zeno
Trinity Monroe: “Business Trazeno! This doesn't look like business boy.
Trazeno Barnes: “Are you scoping me out now? Damn. This is crazy.”
Trinity Monroe: “I was actually invited, thank you very much. But that has absolutely nothing to do with what you're doing here, when you told me you were gonna be on business moves today.”
The scene fades into a confessional cam.
There is a long pause before Zeno speaks
Trazeno Barnes:
“Just what I need man. We have been doing so good. And I did fuck up by lying to her. But she wouldn't have understood. I gotta fix this and fast.”
The scene fades back to Trinity and Zeno.
Trazeno Barnes: “Listen. It's not like that mama. I just knew you would have tripped if you knew I was coming to this party.”
Trinity Monroe: “Which means you probably shouldn't be here if you know I'm gonna feel a way. You know what. I don't even care. I'm not about to do this with you. I'm just gonna leave and you have fun at your little party.. Okerr
Trazeno Barnes: “Nah. We talking. You not bout to leave.”
Trinity Monroe: “You thought! I don't wanna be in this trash box any longer. But you have fun. Dallas is here too. I guess everybody got invited but didn't wanna tell me. “
Zeno tries to speak. Trinity ignores him.
Trinity Monroe: “I'm going home Trazeno! Goodbye!
She makes her way to valet. The scene then fast forward to her pulling off leaving the party and Zeno just standing in the parking lot.By that time, Hadrian and Jasmine can be seen leaving the party as well. They walk up to Chanel, who is still in tears.
JASMINE REY: Hey, Chanel, we are going to head out. We have some business things planned in the afternoon. Sorry about what happened at your party, hun. That was foul for them to do that.
CHANEL SNOW:
Its fine, I’m just so disappointed but I guess I’ll get over it, luckily most of it happened outside and not inside so I don’ tthink any of the investors noticed any of the drama.
HADRIAN ALI: If you need anything, let us know. Our numbers are still the same.
JASMINE REY: Loving your make-up line, by the way. I can’t wait to try these out.
CHANEL SNOW:
Thank you doll, I’ll see you guys later, maybe we can all grab lunch one day.
Jasmine and Hadrian both go to hug Chanel before heading to the parking lot. Once there is a large amount of distance from the house, Jasmine and Hadrian discuss the events.
JASMINE REY: Can you believe that? Can you believe that sh*beeps*?! They had the gall to cause all of that drama at a party, and Chanel was just trying to get her business up and running.
Hadrian looks at her with a deadpanned smirk.
HADRIAN ALI: You havin the “gall” to even say that sh*beeps*.
Jasmine scoffs at him.
JASMINE REY: Whatever, ni-*beeps*!
HADRIAN ALI: It still turned out pretty good though. I got some good clientele coming in, and from the looks of it, you were in a good mood.
By that time, someone could he heard calling Hadrian’s name in front of him. He turns around to see Zeno coming into his direction.
Zeno: “Hadrian? What's going on man. What brings you here?
HADRIAN ALI: Tre? Uh, what’s up Tre? How you been?
Hadi goes up to give Zeno a handshake, pulling him in to hug him.
HADRIAN ALI: Tre? This is my girl, Jas. Jas, this is Tre.
Zeno: “Ah your girl? That's um… That's wussup. Nice to meet you.”
JASMINE REY: Nice to meet you...Tre?
Jasmine goes to give him a handshake.
The scene fades into a confessional cam.
Zeno:
“Does everybody know about this damn party. Everybody's here. But of all people to bump into. I definitely didn't think Hadrian Ali of all people was gonna be one of the people I'd see. Especially with the host being who she is. Me and Had go back to my college days and his days in the NFL. He used to train me when I was getting into modeling. We kinda lost touch over the years though. Crazy bumping into him here.”
The scene fades back to the group.
Zeno: “My girl just left. It’s been a while though dude. How you been?”
HADRIAN ALI: Real good. Just livin. Still getting my business up.
JASMINE REY: So how do you two know each other?
HADRIAN ALI: Tre is someone I knew when I was in my last year of college. He was one of my first clients and a reference for another when I first started with my business. Speaking of which, Tre, Dallas is in there, too. Didn’t get to see him, because of the whole...fight that went down.
JASMINE REY: Seems like I didn’t have to do much. You already had a few clients who attended the party, huh?
HADRIAN ALI: Atlanta is small. Real small…
Zeno chuckles.
Zeno: “Yeah you right about that. It's definitely small. And yea. I guess Dallas is in there. I didn't get a chance to see him before shit got a little crazy.
HADRIAN ALI: Oh, I know. I saw the whole thang, but yeah he’s in there? We bout to head out though. It’s good seein you again.
JASMINE REY: It’s nice to meet you, Tre?
Jasmine gives Zeno one last handshake, before they take their separate ways. Jasmine reaches out to in her purse to look at some of Chanel’s make-up products Hadi bought for her. In particular, a concealer under a deep purple container.
JASMINE REY: Well, that was a nice party. Didn’t get to drink as much as I wanted to, but I got something that could last a little longer. I love how the concealer looks. Doesn’t it look cute?
Hadi takes a look over his shoulder.
JASMINE REY: Hadi.
HADRIAN ALI: Yeah, oh, that’s looks nice. It looks different.
Jasmine raises an eyebrow, wondering why he was so hesitant.
JASMINE REY: Umm….yeah. Different.
The scene ends with the couple heading towards the parking lot.
The scene opens back up inside of Jaser Cruz's Condo. Boxes full of things can be seen as a man and woman are in the background talking. There's a hard set of knocks at the door finally getting the attention of the man and woman. The woman smiles walking over to the door opening it to reveal Jaser on the other side angry.
Confessional Cam
Jaser Cruz:: So after the fiasco at that things party I headed home. What do I find? My key doesn't work anymore, and inside I find Fernando and his wife packing my shit up. I'm still heated and I don't need this shit right now.
The camera cuts back to Jaser and Chelsea talking.
Jaser Cruz::
What the fuck is going on here? I'm gone for 2 hours and you pull a stunt like this?
Chelsea Cabrera::
Look, Jaser, we don't have to make this difficult. Consider this you being evicted from the property.
Jaser looks at Chelsea sideways
Jaser Cruz::
Excuse me?
Chelsea Cabrera::
Well we are working on our marriage. And this open marriage thing myself and Fernando have had is coming to a end. We are focusing on us now, not you. No more triangle. For us and our children.
Confessional Cam
Jaser Cruz::
Chelsea and I met after I had already been dating Fernando. She had been cool with me the whole time. Even joined in a couple of times. I don't mind, I'm pansexual. It's just this is hitting so from left field right now. I feel betrayed honestly.
Jaser sighs angrily
Jaser Cruz::
And of course I never put my name on the lease here so everything they are doing is perfectly "legal". Regardless if I pay rent in this bitch every month.
The scene shifts back to Jaser in Fernando's face.
Jaser Cruz::
I fucking hate you. You're grimey Nigga. Fuck you!
Jaser looks over at Chelsea
Jaser Cruz::
And fuck you too sister wife. You think this nigga really wants your ass? He loathes you. Ever since y'all had the kids. Why do you think he runs back to me for dick every couple weeks? Fuck you.
Chelsea looks appalled
Chelsea Cabrera::
Now excuse me? I've done nothing but be understanding to you! When he first told me about you I was ok with it. I welcomed you a street urchin into my home. We clothed you, we feed you. How dare you speak of him like that.
Jaser cuts her off
Jaser Cruz::
You were ok with him wacking off with a 16 year old? A 16 year old he would then beat and abuse knowingly? You were ok with all of it cause he finally had someone else smaller and defenseless to beat on. God forbid your children see you for who you really are. You watched idly as he did what he did to me. Fuck you!
Fernando pushes up on Jaser. He begins poking him in chest as he speaks pushing Jaser back
Fernando Cabrera::
Calm down little boy. Don't you dare talk to her like that.
I've been patient with you for far too long now. I said I wouldn't put my hands on you but you have crossed the line.
Fernando punches Jaser sending him to the floor. Jaser quickly jumps up and starts wailing on Fernando. Security quickly rushes to Fernandos defense helping up the man now bleeding from the mouth.
Confessional Cam
Jaser Cruz::
Fernando abused me, multiple times. Sent me to the hospital twice. Broken ribs, broken bones, bruises. This little 5’6 120 something pound kid. The people thought I was just a bad ass kid that would get in fights in school. I got so use to it. I was numb. I wasn't aware that this wasn't normal. I thought this was love.
Jaser pauses as he tries to keep himself from tearing up.
Jaser Cruz::
After the second broken arm I was done. Emotionally disconnected. He wasn't the first man in my life to do that. And somehow I keep ending up back in that space. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't ever let anyone walk over me or try to get the upper hand on me. I stay ready, 100 percent of the time. I'll never be that scared little homeless helpless boy again. Ever.
The scene switches back now as security is still separating fernando and Jaser. Jaser in the heat of the moment grabs a nearby vase.
Jaser Cruz::
Fuck you!
Jaser tries to sling it at Fernando but his arm is caught last minute by security allowing the case to barely miss Fernando. Chelsea starts screaming and starts to hit Jaser as security tries to pry her off. The security are able to pull her off and get Jaser out of the condo as he screams shouting and fighting trying to get back in. Chelsea and Fernando are shown hugging as the scene fades out.

JALEN DALLAS:
It’s been a long time since I’ve actually gone and see my therapists, I figured since I was doing better
mentally I didn’t need to go, but these last few days just wasn’t working out for me. Life may seem good on the outside but sometimes on the inside it could be your worst nightmare.
The scene opens up with Jalen sitting in his apartment in the kitchen, he turns and stares out of the window for a few seconds before picking up his phone and Facetiming his therapist Dr. Zachary, after a few rings Dr. Zachary answers the call.
JALEN DALLAS:
Thanks for meeting with me today Dr. Zachary, I feel like I needed this today.
DR. ZACHARY:
When I received your text I immediately made an opening so we can speak, so what’s going on?
JALEN DALLAS:
I don’t know to be honest, I guess I’ve just been down and I can’t really put my finger on what is making me down.
DR. ZACHARY:
How is Atlanta?
JALEN DALLAS:
Its different, it isn’t Philly.
Confessional Cam
JALEN DALLAS:
I’ll admit I wasn’t one of those people that despised the place they were born, I actually love my city. But I knew if I really wanted to grow, expand my business and make some real money I needed to leave. But my whole life was in Philly, my family, my friends, and I guess you could say my ex boyfriend is there.
Jalen sighs.
JALEN DALLAS:
I was dating this guy back home in Philly named Trap, well that was his hood name but his real name was Kenny. We had been dating on and off for a while but we had so many issues that sometimes we couldn’t even stand being around each other. Growing up life wasn’t easy and I think that is one of the reasons why I struggle when it comes to having a relationship with Trap.
The scene cuts back to Jalen in his kitchen.
JALEN DALLAS:
I miss Trap.
DR. ZACHARY:
Trap is the boyfriend here in Philly, correct?
JALEN DALLAS:
Correct.
DR. ZACHARY:
What’s going on with that situation?
JALEN DALLAS:
I don’t trust him and I think I am the reason why the relationship is failing between us, he’s done some things that has opened up some old wounds that I thought I got rid of.
DR. ZACHARY:
Are you referring to what your Uncle and cousin did to you?
Jalen nods.
Confessional Cam
JALEN DALLAS:
Between the ages 9 until I was 14 my cousin and my Uncle use to sexually and physically abuse me, they would threaten me all the time that if I told anyone that they would kick my ass maybe even kill me. I never really opened up about it until now but the only reason why I even started talking about it was because I didn’t think I was over it.
Jalen sighs.
JALEN DALLAS:
I didn’t tell anyone, not even my parents. I’m more comfortable speaking about it now because my Uncle passed and my cousin is now locked up. I think the reason why I didn’t tell was because I was scared, it wasn’t because I didn’t think anyone believed me but I didn’t know what to do.
The scene cuts back to Jalen.
DR. ZACHARY:
I think you’re on the right path Jalen, with you opening up now and talking about what happened to you when you were younger shows that you are finally moving on from the situation. I understand dealing with something like that and especially at young age can really cause damage to a person as an adult But all you can do now is move on and forgive, you can’t let this situation control you and stop you from growing as a person.
JALEN DALLAS:
I know, but I think because of that situation is reason why I can’t trust men now.
DR. ZACHARY:
I feel like because other things have happened in your relationship that is also the reason why you are having trust issues but that’s normal. Life is about taking risks Jalen and you can’t live if you decide to live your life with anger and being guarded all the time. I don’t know how serious the relationship is with this guy but you have to remember that you gotta focus on yourself too, focus on the relationship with yourself and once you feel that you are fully ready, then dive in head first.
JALEN DALLAS:
That makes sense.
DR. ZACHARY:
Pain doesn’t go away overnight Jalen, but it will eventually die. You have to be the one to end that pain and the only way you can do that is to just let it go. I want to continue our sessions and hopefully you can make it back to Philadelphia soon so we can actually have a Face to Face discussion.
JALEN DALLAS:
I can plan that in the near future, that’s fine.
DR. ZACHARY:
Other then that, is there anything else that has been bothering you?
JALEN DALLAS:
Not really, but I think listening to your words today actually helped me.
DR. ZACHARY:
Well that’s why I am here, if you ever need anything you know you can always reach out.
JALEN DALLAS:
Thank you Dr. Zachary.
Confessional Cam
JALEN DALLAS:
The conversation with my therapists was something I really needed, it felt good to kind of let that pain out and talk about it. I grew up all my life holding that information in, and now that I finally opened up about it I feel like I can move on. I probably should have sat down with my family first before telling it to the world but now everyone knows. I feel great though!
Jalen smiles as the scene cuts to Hadi driving around the city. He then ends up getting a phone call, which he answers.
HADRIAN ALI: Hey, wassup!
MORGAN DAVIS: Hey, Hadi!
HADRIAN ALI: Hey, wassup, Mo! You gotta cancel again? *Laughs*
MORGAN DAVIS: Boy, no! I just called to say that #1, I have to apologize for what happened yesterday at your job. I'll admit that it was uncalled for.
HADRIAN ALI: Nah, it's cool. I had to speak to the he manager about everything. He just gave me a warning and sh-*beep*.
MORGAN DAVIS: Secondly, I called to see how the party went.
HADRIAN ALI: You heard about the fight didn't you?
MORGAN DAVIS: Now, you know I did. Amber told me. Her brother was there.
HADRIAN ALI: Oh word?
MORGAN DAVIS: He was there. She told me that somebody he kept referring to as JCPenney, the host of the party, kept talking about him in public and went to confront her.
HADRIAN ALI: Damn, that's crazy.
MORGAN DAVIS: But yeah, you told me before that you were invited to the party, so of course I had to get the scoop from you.
HADRIAN ALI: I don't know much. All I know about is drinks flying and security coming in. That's it.
MORGAN DAVIS: Oh, damn. Okay. Guess I'll have to find out from someone else then. I guess I'll talk to you later.
MORGAN DAVIS: Yeah..
MORGAN DAVIS: Why do you feel that way?
MORGAN DAVIS: I guess you gotta be honest. All of that positive kumbaya

LEGEND DIOR:
I’ve been keeping low since the disaster that happened at Chanel’s little party, now don’t get me wrong I know I may have came off aggressive but to kick me out of your party, now that was just wrong.
Legend shakes his head.
LEGEND DIOR:
I had to speak with Chanel to see why she asked me leave, and why she didn’t ask Brandon to leave, I mean he was also involved in the whole argument. I sent Chanel a text and asked her to meet me at the park, so we can kind of discuss what happened.
The scene opens up at Grant Park, Legend is shown sitting on one of the tables scrolling through Instagram pictures, Chanel is shown pulling up in her car, she parks and exits the vehicle walking over to Legend.
Confessional Cam
CHANEL SNOW:
I already know why I’m here, I’m sure Legend wants to ask me why I made him leave my party, well if he needs me to explain it to him again then that’s fine. I’m not apologizing for anything and I stand by what I said before, he needed to leave because he was the one who caused the altercation and he was WAY TO HYPE.
The scene cuts back to the park with Chanel and Legend.
CHANEL SNOW:
Hey.
LEGEND DIOR:
Hey Chanel, thanks for meeting me here today.
CHANEL SNOW:
No problem.
LEGEND DIOR:
Well I asked you to meet me here today because I wanted to talk about what happened at your party the other night.
CHANEL SNOW:
You mean the party that you almost ruined.
LEGEND DIOR:
Well I wouldn’t say I almost ruined it, I was fine. We are in your kitchen and it was only us three so I don’t understand how your party would have been ruined.
CHANEL SNOW:
Do you not remember how bad it was getting? I mean you were getting hype and then Brandon started getting hype, what would have happened if a fight would have broken out?
LEGEND DIOR:
I wouldn’t have let it get that far.
CHANEL SNOW:
Well I don’t know that, you have to understand that Brandon is a friend of mine and he flew all the way out from New York just to be there to support and help me with my party. I was embarrassed by your actions and confused at why you thought that was the appropriate setting to address him like that.
LEGEND DIOR:
I was disrespected and I wasn’t about to sit back and let him disrespect me like that.
CHANEL SNOW:
Again it was the wrong place and the wrong time, I understand that your friend has beef with Brandon but your friend wasn’t there. I made the right decision sending you home because you were the one who started the fight, Brandon was cool, calm and collected until you start popping off at the mouth.
Confessional Cam
LEGEND DIOR:
I find it funny that Chanel is sitting here defending her friend Brandon and trying to make it seem like I was the issue at the party, I honestly didn’t want to listen to her bitch anymore because at this time an apology doesn’t even matter.
The scene cuts back to Chanel and Legend.
LEGEND DIOR:
I came here to apologize for my actions, I didn’t come here to argue.
CHANEL SNOW:
And an apology would have been fine and we could have left it at that, but instead you want to sit here and try to defend your actions at my party, the point is you came there on ten and you wanted to cause a scene so I asked you're ass to leave.
LEGEND DIOR:
Now you’re being disrespectful.
CHANEL SNOW:
No I’m being real boo, don’t act brand new to Atlanta because you already know how it is down here, I’m bout my money and my friends and if you mess with one of those then we have an issue. I accept your apology but I suggest you tread softly because your name is already mud in these streets.
Confessional Cam
CHANEL SNOW:
Yeah I said it.
Chanel laughs.
CHANEL SNOW:
His name is mud in these streets, a sneaky ass queen. When I met Legend I had already heard about him through the streets but I’m the type of person that even if I hear shit about you, I’ll still give you a chance because no matter what going to talk whether you doing bad or good.
The scene cuts back to Chanel and Legend.
LEGEND DIOR:
Mud though?
CHANEL SNOW:
You already have a reputation boo, so I wouldn’t be out here in these streets acting a fool.
LEGEND DIOR:
No I have haters in these streets who can’t seem to keep my name out of their mouths, including yours. Like I’m out!
Confessional Cam
LEGEND DIOR:
I wasn’t about to sit here and let this girl talk to me all type of crazy, I get that she’s mad but after I apologized it should have been over. I guess I should have listen to Levi when he told me not to trust these ATL girls so quickly, because all of them are messy.
The scene cuts back to Legend and Chanel in the park, Legend grabs his keys off the table he was sitting on and makes his way towards his car, not even speaking to Chanel, he jumps in and drives off leaving Chanel standing there alone, the scene cuts to the next scene, Isaiah is shown making his way into a small bar on Peachtree, inside Jalen is already shown sitting at the bar working on his second drink, Isaiah makes his way up to Jalen and pokes him on his back.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Hey boo.
Jalen turns and looks at Isaiah.
JALEN DALLAS:
Girl don’t do that, I was like who the hell is poking me? But then again I knew it was you. (Jalen laughs.) I ordered you a drink because I got your text that you were like 5 minutes away 10 minutes ago but glad you here.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
Oh the shade begins.
The two laugh, Isaiah sits down at the bar joining Jalen.
Confessional Cam
JALEN DALLAS:
I had to get the tea of what went down at Chanel’s party, all I know when I was sneaking around eating those little donuts she had I noticed all the commotion going on with Riley, Isaiah, Chanel, and Jaser. I didn’t want to walk up and be nosey and plus if someone started swinging and I got hit, nah it would have been problem.
Jalen smirks.
JALEN DALLAS:
And I heard drinks were thrown, and it was a lot of trash talking and name calling so baby I had to get the details of what was going on. Isaiah seem like a cool dude and even though I haven’t been around him much, I wanted to take the opportunity to still get to know him. I felt the same way about the other guys in the group, I’m taking no sides right now.
Jalen pauses.
JALEN DALLAS:
I’m still getting to know these guys so I can’t say they're my friends yet, but we’re getting there.
The scene cuts back to Isaiah and Jalen.
JALEN DALLAS:
So you have to tell me what the hell happened at the party?
Isaiah rolls his eyes.
Confessional Cam
ISAIAH WOLFE:
I really didn’t want to come here and talk about Riley and his barking chihuahua, I was the over the situation and didn’t want to bring back up that drama but its whatever. I don’t really know Jalen but I don’t have an issue with the dude, I’ve seen a few times at a couple shows and he seems like he would be fun to turn up with in a party scene but I mean just from the situation that went down the other day, it's seems like you can’t really trust anyone.
Isaiah shrugs.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt though, because we really don’t have no beef and at the party he was nowhere in sight so that tells me that he’s not for the drama.
The scene cuts back to Jalen and Isaiah.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
A shit show is what happened, I’m so embarrassed.
Isaiah shakes his head.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
But at the same time it was Jaser who came to the party all turnt up. I think he’s mad at the fact that Riley was showing interest in someone else besides his ghetto ass. I mean who comes to a party and acts like that? I told him it wasn’t the time or place to discuss that and he decided to keep popping off at the mouth, but I mean he had security and Riley with him so that’s why he was feeling so froggy.
Jalen laughs.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
But didn’t leap though.
JALEN DALLAS:
I feel bad for Chanel.
pcolor=green]ISAIAH WOLFE:
[/color] [/div]I feel bad for Chanel too because I actually like her, we formed a friendship and I felt bad that he would come to someone's house and put on a show like that. I reached out to Chanel and we’ve talked, she knows I’m very apologetic for my part of what went down but I’m not the blame, it's Jaser.
JALEN DALLAS:
I agree that he shouldn’t have addressed the issue at the party, but I can also understand why he’s upset. It sucks when you hear people slinging your name in the dirt and really don’t have facts to back it up, please I had the same happened to me. But I handled my situation differently!
Confessional Cam
JALEN DALLAS:
To be honest I feel as though everyone played a part in what happened because from the sidelines I heard yelling and screaming from all of them. It was childish and for it to happened in that setting it really made everyone look dumb. But it is what it is, everyone I think should just sit down and squash this petty ass drama, like what’s the point?
Jalen leans over and takes a sip of his drink on the table beside him.
JALEN DALLAS:
These hoes tripping. But whoever threw that drink, just know that hoes that throw drinks, can’t throw hands.
Jalen smirks as the scene cuts back to Jalen and Isaiah.
JALEN DALLAS:
Well maybe you guys should all sit down and talk about it, what’s going happen if we all run into each other again, I mean I just don’t like being around drama like that. I’m really trying to grow and just make it in life and I don’t need negative energy like that around.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
Look I get it, but all this advice needs to go to Jaser, he’s the immature pig that started that shit with Chanel and me, I owe him nothing.
JALEN DALLAS:
I think because you brought up what Chanel told you is what set him off and then Chanel even repeating the rumor she heard was kind of messy so I mean that’s why I said you guys all kind of played a part in this situation. I’m not saying you should go in and apologize off bat, I think he owes you guys an apology before you give him one but I just think it's healthier for the group if we just squash this.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
I’ll think about it but honestly Chanel is pissed off so I doubt she’ll even consider the idea, but we’ll see.
Confessional Cam
ISAIAH WOLFE:
I get Jalen wants the piece, but to be honest me being friends with that bum Jaser, I doubt it.
The scene cuts back to Isaiah and Jalen.
JALEN DALLAS:
I guess we will see.
The two click their drinks together as the scene fades.
The scene opens to Riley in nothing but Bugs Bunny pj pants as he is in the kitchen making himself breakfast with Kendrick & Rihanna’s “Loyalty” on full blast. He manages to hear banging on the front door. He lowers the music, peeks through the peephole and opens it to see Isaiah on the other side.
Confessional Cam
RILEY:
Aiite, so after all that sh(beep) went down and we got kicked out of the party, it wasn't til later that I realized I left some shit in his car so I asked him to bring it over. I'm a lil more calm from last night so I'm cool with him coming over. Besides my beef really wasn't with him, it was with Wal-Mart. So…
Riley shrugs as it cuts back to him at the door with Isaiah.
RILEY:
You can come in if you want.
Isaiah stands there for a second, annoyed at that fact that Riley allowed Jaser to attack him like that. Isaiah finally walks inside, instead of standing he leans against the wall.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
Look here’s your stuff.
Isaiah hands Riley the items that he left in the car.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
Did you need anything else sir?
Confessional Cam
ISAIAH WOLFE:
I really didn’t want to be here, when he hit me up and told me that he left his shit in my car, I was annoyed like and then he standing here so calm about the situation.
Isaiah shakes his head.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
I’m over it.
The scene cuts back to Isaiah and Riley. Riley closes the door and saints his eyes at Isaiah immediately sensing something wrong.
RILEY:
Yo, what's all this damn attitude for?
Isaiah rolls his eyes.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
What you mean what is all this damn attitude for? Do you not remember what went down at Chanel’s party bruh? And then you just sat there while you let your little chihuahua bark at me, that’s not cool.
Confessional Cam
ISAIAH WOLFE:
I can’t believe this dude is actually sitting here clueless as to why I have an attitude with him right now, I didn’t start any of that shit last night. Chanel passed me some information, I asked him, he answered it and then I was done with it. But he had to run back to his little bitch boy and open his mouth so now its a problem.
Isaiah shrugs.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
But let me say this, I can’t wait to see little Miss Jaser again, and I’ll leave it at that.
Isaiah winks at the camera and the scene cuts back to Isaiah and Riley.
b]ISAIAH WOLFE:
[/b][/color] [/div]Don’t play stupid with me Riley, we not even together and we already going through some shit.
RILEY:
Nigga, it wasn't even about you! If I had a problem with DollarStore talking sh(beep), then of COURSE my boy would too...walking up to us like we were cool or some sh(beep), the fu(beep) wrong with her?? Instead of acting fake with fake, we let her ass know how we felt. Jaser even said he didn't have a problem with you, but you still jumped bad at him trying to defend and protect. So I guess it was a case of me & my friend sticking together and you & yours. Loyalty, nigga.
Riley just shrugs, funny enough the song still playing low in the background.
RILEY:
If you still in your feelings about it, I doubt know what to tell you. Me and him had ice cream after we got kicked out, so we good.
Isaiah shakes his head.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
You sound so crazy and childish right now and then the constant name calling, that is my friend and you don’t see me here bashing yours. Chanel didn’t do anything to y’all, she was looking out for me, it’s not like she went around saying “Oh y’all fucking everyone in Atlanta or, Jaser is a hoe.” all she said TO ME and TO ME only was that she heard from someone that you two were dating, like what the hell is wrong with that?
Riley starts to speak but Isaiah interrupts him.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
As for Jaser I didn’t have a problem with him until he got all in Chanel’s face, if that dude was a mature individual he would've handled that situation a lot better, but instead since he’s a child then it went left. I don’t rock with Jaser and after this situation probably never will, but I’ve said what I need to say s-
In the middle of Isaiah’s heated words, Riley could be seen rolling his eyes multiple times until he ultimate interrupted him, leaning in with a full on kiss. He breaks it for a second but the two go back into it, pushing up closer on each other this time.
Confessional Cam
RILEY:
Right now, I'm just so fu(beep)ing tired of this. Every time we meet now it's the same bull and it's a shame because we were cool when we first met. Now I'm angry, he's upset and we're just going around in circles shouting now. I just wanted to kill the noise anyway I could so I just went for it.
The scene cuts back to them, Isaiah slowly pushes Riley off of him, wiping his mouth, he looks at Riley.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
This isn’t right, like why did you do that?
Confessional Cam
ISAIAH WOLFE:
[/color] [/div]I didn’t know how to react to that, like he just kissed me and damn he was a good kisser but I didn’t know what to do, like we were just arguing 5 seconds ago and now were tongue fucking each other this is crazy.
Isaiah smirks,
ISAIAH WOLFE:
But I liked it though.
The scene cuts back to Isaiah and Riley.
ISAIAH WOLFE:
I think I should go.
Isaiah starts to open the door, but Riley closes it, grabbing Isaiah’s arm but in a passionate manner.
RILEY:
Naaaah, wait a minute.
Riley smiles as he takes Isaiah by the hand and leads him upstairs with the scene fading to a small convention center. The arena is shown seated up interview style with a table set up on a stage and microphones see set up in front of each seat. Various transgender icons are seated in each seat, including Trinity Monroe. Mini clips of the seminar are shown. The scene fades into a confessional cam
Trinity Monroe:
“After that party I was drained. I didn't go home last night. I didn't want to see Zeno after seeing him there. That led me to believe that the little rumors I have been hearing about Zeno and Chanel are true and I'm not here for it. But I don't wanna even think about that today. Today is a pretty big day for me. I was invited to sit alongside some very powerful women in the trans community. Trans women have been a thing since forever, and although it's gotten better, Trans women are still constantly the target of hate. And discrimination, and murder. Too many of our beautiful sisters are being taken from this world just for living in their truth. I'm so lucky to be where I am. So any time I can fight for my girls,I'm there.”
The scene fades back to the event which is shown ending. Trinity is shown walking toward the back of the convention center where Jalen is shown waiting for her. She greets him with a hug and a kiss on the cheek and the two make their way to Trinity changing area.
Trinity Monroe: “Omg. I'm so glad you made it! Thank you so much for coming.
JALEN DALLAS:
Shit I had nothing else to do and plus I always try to help out when it comes to stuff like this, anyway I was hoping we could get some time together because I wanted to apologize to you about Chanel’s party.
Confessional Cam
JALEN DALLAS:
I really didn’t know bringing her to the party was going to be an issue, I just only wanted to go and not be alone but once I found out all the tea then I understood why it could have looked shady.
The scene cuts back to Jalen and Trinity.
JALEN DALLAS:
Just know I mean no ill will towards you or any drama, I didn’t know anything about a beef between you and Chanel and like the issue with those guys being there I just didn’t know. I’m new here and all I wanted to do is kind of meet a group of a friends, good ones.
Jalen sighs.
JALEN DALLAS:
I feel bad.
Trinity Monroe: “That’s what's so crazy! There was no beef. We met each other a few times in passing and it was never any bad blood then. But if rumors are true that she hooked up with Zeno. I see why she tripping. But it's not me who she should be mad at. I didn't promise her anything.”
JALEN DALLAS:
I don’t know anything about that, I was so shocked at the situation. But the whole situation seems messy and after her twitter rant I was like that's embarrassing.
Jalen shrugs.
JALEN DALLAS:
But I just wanted you to know where I stood on the whole thing, I really look at you as a friend, someone I could have a close bond with so I just didn’t want you to think I was being shady. But did you see the other drama going on? The shit that happened with Chanel and all of them.
she chuckles
Trinity Monroe: “Baby I got out of there. It was all too much.
The scene fades into a confessional cam.
Confessional Cam
Trinity Monroe:
“I'm not gonna lie. In the beginning I had a lil inkling that Jalen might have been being messy when he invited me to that party. You never know in this community. Everybody's just so shady. But we've actually grown to be quite close over time so if he says he didn't know I believe him. I'm actually really glad he came through and supported me today. So that's out of my mind.
The scene fades showing trinity and Jalen talking.
