The scene opens up inside of an empty store space, Braelyn is shown inside wearing a pair of sweats, a cut off tee shirt and a Tweety bird mask which covers half her face. She walks around admiring the space she is considering buying for her new dance studio.
BRAELYN MONROE: Since CoVid I’ll admit things haven’t been the greatest for me business wise, the photoshoots and the acting gigs I was once booking stopped calling and financially it’s been a struggle, luckily I’ve been able to sell some of the art I’ve been painting to help me keep afloat, but that just isn’t enough.
Braelyn sighs.
BRAELYN MONROE: Even though the money hasn’t been coming in, I’ve always been smart and just a few months ago I’ve reached my goal to reopen my dance studio I had in LA before. Since the world is slowly opening back up, I decided to start looking at spaces again so I can reopen the dance studio while selling my artwork out of store instead of out of my house.
Braelyn pauses.
BRAELYN MONROE: Makes sense right, since Chase was off today I asked him to meet me here just to get his opinions on the place and to see if he thought it was a good idea for me to go through with this.
The scene cuts back to Braelyn standing inside of the store, Chase is shown on the outside making his way in, Braelyn turns rushing to him giving him a hug and kiss.
BRAELYN MONROE: Hey babe, thanks for meeting me here, I wanted you to see this space I saw online and I loved it, and now seeing it in person makes me love it even more.
CHASE STEVENS: Yeah, it looks great. I took a quick look around outside and didn't see anything wrong. This is a spot for your studio. You look around any further than this?
Chase smiled walking toward one of the doors.
BRAELYN MONROE: Upstairs has a office for me, but this space down here alone is big enough for the girls to dance, as for my studio where I'll sell the artwork I was thinking of adding to the building.
Braelyn pauses for a second.
BRAELYN MONROE: But that would have to wait because I’m already over budget, I just don’t want to fail that’s all.
Chase nodded his head.
CHASE STEVENS: I know what you mean, but you have a lot of artwork that people will go crazy for. How about this? We rent the space out across the street. I got some funds saved up, we can make that happen.
CHASE STEVENS: It's said all the time but these are uncertain times. You have to keep your opinions open and...I think this can be a good one.
The scene cuts back as Chase looks at Braelyn. He smiled and lowered his head giving her a puppy look while trying not to laugh.
BRAELYN MONROE: But I really like this space babe, I feel like with this space I can do both, I can sell my artwork and also teach my dancing class on the weekends, so i think with both incomes coming in I should be able to handle it.
Braelyn returns the favor by giving him the sad puppy dog eyes.
BRAELYN MONROE: Maybe we both should sleep on it and see what happens, I might have a way to get the extra money but it’ll involve me asking my parents.
BRAELYN MONROE: I really don’t talk much about my parents, it's not that we don’t have a good relationship, we just don’t talk often. When I first left Nevada they didn’t like it all, they wanted me to do was stay home and go to school but my dreams of dancing forced me to take a different route and trust me they weren’t happy at all about it. Since I didn’t go to school then they cut me off financially so everything I’ve earned, I’ve earned on my own. But i think once they see the plan I have then they may have a change of heart and might actually want to help me.
The scene cuts back to the two.
CHASE STEVENS: That might be the best thing to do.
He rubbed his chin as he turned backwards taking another good look at the pace.
CHASE STEVENS: I know how much this means for her. Trust me. She has the same look in my eyes as I did while building Illusions. So whatever we have to do to make this space available we'll do it.
Producers: Do you know her parents?
CHASE STEVENS: No, from what I've heard that might be a hurdle but I have full confidence in her.
The scene cuts back to the two.
BRAELYN MONROE: I was thinking about inviting them over for dinner, to see our place together and to get a chance to meet you, we’ve been together awhile now and they're always talking about how they haven’t met you, i think it's time.
CHASE STEVENS: Nah, I don’t think that's good.
Chase smirked looking at her shocked expression.
CHASE STEVENS: Joking...of course that sounds good. I can't wait.
BRAELYN MONROE: Great! I’ll set it up babe, I’m so excited and I know they’ll love you just as much as I love you.
Braelyn and Chase kiss once again, the two continue looking around at the vacant space as the scene fades and reopens in Tampa, FL. Mia Snow and Sky Townsend are shown exiting off of a private jet and walking towards a blacked out Rolls Royce. The two hop inside while waiting for their bags to get to the car, Mia pulls her makeup bag out of her purse while Sky scrolls through social media on her phone.
SKY TOWNSEND: Flying private is so much better!
MIA SNOW: And a lot easier, it feels good to know people in high places.
SKY TOWNSEND: Or people that got money period.
MIA SNOW: I wish Jada would just move from Florida, come to LA like the rest of us, what does she have against LA?
SKY TOWNSEND: Who knows, but I don’t mind getting out of LA sometimes. It feels good to get away from the drama and be around people that don’t know you.
MIA SNOW: That’s a fact, but the problem is people are going to notice us anyway, we are the top supermodels of the world.
The two laugh.
SKY TOWNSEND: Well it’ll be nice to see the whole gang back together, I heard she was inviting everyone.
MIA SNOW: That's fine with me, I don’t have any issues with anyone that I know of but this group is weird like that so I wouldn’t be surprised if someone up and had a problem with me.
SKY TOWNSEND: Is Alex coming?
MIA SNOW: You know what I would assume so since her and Jada are best friends but no one has talked to or seen Alex, word on the street is her relationship is ending so she’s probably hiding out. She was promised this wonderful lifestyle, to end up divorced.
MIA SNOW: When Alex first got married we all thought it was random as fuck, we just didn’t think that was something she wanted to do but as a friend we went alog with it because we wanted to support her. I don’t know how much of the divorce rumor is true, to me it's just word of mouth until she confirms or denies, but whatever happens I hope she’s ok.
The scene cuts back to the two.
SKY TOWNSEND: Well whatever is going on I’m sure if she wants us to know then she’ll tell us, I could care less though, I’m here to have fun and not worry about the negative shit going on.
MIA SNOW: That’s the mood all year, have fun and fuck the negative shit.
The two laugh as the scene fades and reopens inside of Jada’s home, Jada is shown walking around admiring the final touches of what her interior designer did for her home. She admires how plush and lovely her living room is and the setup of her bedroom which screams her favorite colors yellow and black. The scene then cuts to the back entrance where Jeremiah is shown lounging on the patio couch that sits near the jacuzzi. Jada walks out and joins him with two wine glasses and pre-rolled blunt.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: This is the fucking life, minus covid I’m having the time of my life.
JADA MONTANA: Covid is really fucking it up for everyone, I’m just happy that we can finally all be around each other again.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Speaking of that, I probably won’t stay too long.
JADA MONTANA: What, boy why?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Because it’ll be people here that I don’t like so it's no point for me to be around them, I’m trying to keep nothing but positive energy around me and unfortunately there are people in this group who don't bring that. So i’ll just stay in a hotel room and then come back after!
JADA MONTANA: That makes no sense, we are all grown.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: It’s better this way.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Look I don’t want to be in the same room with that clown Chase, I can’t promise you what would happen if we both were in the same space. He had a lot to say on social media awhile back but hid from me in the streets so, technically he has an ass whooping coming his way but since I’m trying to be more business savvy, I may just let this situation go but not even allowing him to breathe the same air as me.
Jeremiah shrugs as the scene cuts back to the two.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I’m just trying not to cause any problems in your home, that dude is mouthy and if he talks to me the wrong way then he might end up getting his ass beat.
JADA MONTANA: I don’t want that type of energy in my house but I’ll talk to both Braelyn and Chase before they come just to see where their head is at, but I won’t allow you to stay at a hotel after I’ve already said you could stay here.
JADA MONTANA: I really don’t know the reason behind Jeremiah and his beef with Chase, I do know it had something to do with Braelyn but that was so long ago, I would hope that isn’t still bothering him till this day. All I know with everything going on in the world, we should be more united then against each other.
The scene cuts back to the two.
JADA MONTANA: Moving on, tell me about this dispensary, I’m excited to see what this sample you gave me is giving, this is from your own strain?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I don’t want to give away too much but you know me and Brandon are working on opening up our own dispensary, we were thinking about just adding onto his store and calling it “Yung Kingston Dispensary.”
JADA MONTANA: I like that, and you know the weed business is really taking off, I know a few people that do it and the money is good.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: That's the point, it's a good business move and it seems like everyone smokes these days so why not?
JADA MONTANA: Makes sense to me and you already know I’ll buy, but you’ll have to ship my stuff.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: You already know!
JADA MONTANA: But what else has been up? I feel like we haven’t really talked or kicked it like that in a while, how's the love life treating you?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: You know my motto, fuck these hoes.
PRODUCER: Since we’ve known you, we haven't seen you date anyone or even bring a potential person on the show? Are you even dating?
Jeremiah sits there quiet for a second.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I don’t know what dating is, fuck love.
The scene cuts back to the two.
JADA MONTANA: You need to just chill and find someone that you can connect with, i know it's not good to go out and find love but you don’t even date.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: You do know I’m cool with being alone, I don’t need to be in a relationship and the way I live my life is cool with me, I don’t think I need to make any changes. I’m not ready to settle or commit to anyone at the moment!
JADA MONTANA: Well I’ll have a few single friends at my housewarming that I want to introduce you to, I’m not saying you guys have to exchange numbers and go on dates but you should at least be open to meeting new people and see where it goes from there.
Jeremiah rolls his eyes as he takes a sip of wine, he reaches in his pocket and pulls a lighter out.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: We should go ahead and light this pre roll up because you're talking crazy right now, and you may need this.
JADA MONTANA: I’m being serious Jeremiah, just have an open mind that’s all I’m asking you. You know I wouldn’t bring anyone around you that I wouldn’t trust so just give it a chance.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I guess.
Jeremiah lights the pre roll up and takes two hits, he starts coughing as he passes it to Jada.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Oh yeah that’s some fire.
JADA MONTANA: I can tell by the way you're coughing over there, I guess you can’t handle it.
Jada laughs as she takes a hit too, before she can take another, her lungs are filled with smoke and she starts coughing.
JADA MONTANA: Oh yeah this definitely some fire.
The two laugh as the scene fades and reopens outside of Gino’s Bar and Restaurant, the scene shows a long line of people waiting for their takeout orders, in the line stands Braelyn who has been waiting a little of 15 minutes for the two orders she placed.
BRAELYN MONROE: Today I’m meeting up with Alex J, this has been a long time coming, our first meet wasn’t to pleasant and I think Jeremiah had a lot to do with why we never really got to be friends so I wanted to meet up with her just to chat and see where we stood, I know Jada was having a housewarming later and I didn’t want to have any issues or make anyone feel uncomfortable. We’re meeting at this spot Jada recommended, she advised me to call ahead of time because the place was always busy so i’m standing here in this long ass line waiting to pick up food I ordered an hour ago, man I hate covid.
The scene cuts back to Braelyn standing in line, she finally reaches the front and she picks up the food she ordered for both Alex and herself. Braelyn grabs the food and walks over to one of the empty tables outside of the restaurant. Cameras then pan to the entrance of the restaurant. Alex J is shown walking in. She searches around and spots Braelyn sitting down. She makes her way over to her as cameras fade to a confessional.
ALEX J: I was very surprised to see a text from Braelyn asking to meet up with me. It's been years of animosity for whatever reason. But our only connection has ever been Jeremiah. And we know how that went. But I feel like that was ages ago and neither one of us ended up with him so I never saw the point of continuing any beef. I guess she finally realized that too. So I. Going into this with an open mind. Maybe it'll be great.
She smiles reluctantly as the scene fades back to the line. By now Alex is sitting with Braelyn at the table.
ALEX J: Hey girl I don't know if we're supposed to hug, shake hands or what.
BRAELYN MONROE: I normally blow air kisses and call it a day, this COVID doesn’t know when it wants to hit, when it wants to disappear so better play it safe then sorry.
Braelyn shrugs.
BRAELYN MONROE: I wonder how this party is going to be though that Jada is throwing, with social distancing going on it’ll be kind of hard if we’re all in one place, but I think she said the guest list was under 20 people.
ALEX J: Yea she didn't say she had another of people coming. And I'm sure we'll be outside most of the time.
BRAELYN MONROE: Anyway it has been awhile, I know we’ve been meaning to sit down for a long time now but our schedules and this covid shit has prevented us from doing so, but I’m happy we can now, I think we have a lot to talk about.
ALEX J: We might.
She chuckles
ALEX J: It's definitely been long overdue.
BRAELYN MONROE: First and foremost, how is married life? You know I don’t like to believe everything I read in the tabloids so I thought I would ask.
BRAELYN MONROE: Look I can’t help being nosey, everyone is talking about Alex and her failed marriage, that sucks though. I hate to see couples break up, but normally the tea behind it be so good.
The scene cuts back to the two.
ALEX J: Married life is definitely a task. But i'm working through it. I've been so busy with #Ajackcity. I never pay attention to them dumb ass media reports.
ALEX J: No shade but all shade. We aren't friends. Granted we may be here with good intentions, i'm not about to just put you in my business. No no baby. Continue to get your information from the shade room like the rest of the speculators.
She picks up her glass seated next to her and sips it through the straw as the scene fades back to the two.
ALEX J: but you know how the media works. It's mostly smoke and mirrors. We know not to listen to everything we see.
BRAELYN MONROE: I can see, the tabloids are eating this story up, so it's probably best to get ahead of it before it causes too much damage. I hate to see relationships fail, especially marriages. I’m just happy I don’t have to deal with that drama, me and my man stay out of the tabloids!
BRAELYN MONROE: So the rumors must be true since she’s not denying it, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about girl, marriages end, shit happens. That's why I was so happy Chase and I decided to keep our relationship private in the beginning, we didn’t need all the outside drama running something special we had, I’m smarter than that, I guess other people should have watched us and maybe they could still be in a long lasting relationship.
The scene switches to Alex just confessional
ALEX J: I said I was gonna come into this open minded. But I see she's still on shady business. Like girl I see the jabs. Nobody is worried about tabloids. But you know how the saying goes. If they ain't hating, you ain't poppin. Maybe there's a reason we haven't seen her in the tabloids.
She shrugs as the scene returns to the two.
ALEX J: oh I don't deal with it at all. I'm in the entertainment industry. I signed up for people to dig into my life.
She chuckles.
ALEX J: But my marriage and personal life is something I try to keep as private as I can. It's crazy how the media will paint something as if we don't all have problems.
BRAELYN MONROE: The media is fake, you can’t believe everything it says, but I’m sure whatever is going on it’ll work out for you. But I just wanted to make sure we were cool before going to this housewarming Jada is throwing, I know a while back we had a few words on social media but honestly I think that was all Jeremiah, I don’t know what he was trying to do but I just remember him making you the reason why the show wasn’t being filmed and he put in my ear that you had an issue with me, at first I took it as jealousy but I’m like I don’t even know this girl.
Alex bursts out laughing.
ALEX J: You gotta love Jeremiah man. I won't speak on anything he and I talked about but I'll say from my own mouth I was literally returning the energy I was given. I never disliked you. But whatever rumors may or may not have been put out there definitely caused a little tension. But I put that behind me years ago. I'm cool if you are.
BRAELYN MONROE: I’m fine, it's clear as day that Jeremiah was the issue! I don’t know why he would want to cause a problem between us but I guess because he’s still in love with you!
Braelyn shrugs.
BRAELYN MONROE: Or at least that's what I think it is, I remember me and him hanging on day and the only thing he could talk about was the disgust he had against you for being married and that day I realized that me and him could never be more than just friends, you can’t love someone who loves someone else.
BRAELYN MONROE: At one point I did like Jeremiah, in my mind I felt like we we’re getting closer but in his mind he only saw me as an outlet to get to Alex, he wanted to make her jealous so bad but I refused to be his pawn, once i ended things with him he went on this whole smear campaign against me and my man and since then I haven’t said much to him. I don’t think I could without some sort of apology.
The scene cuts back to the two.
BRAELYN MONROE: I guess we’ll see what his mood is at Jada’s housewarming, both Chase and I are attending so I hope everything goes smoothly.
Alex smiles nervously
ALEX J: Girl! That's what I'm really worried about. I'm so glad you brought that up!
ALEX J: I don't know what she's talking about with all that love mess. Me and Jeremiah tried to go down that route before. But we were both young and just breaking into the business. A relationship has probably been hell at that time. But he's one of my best friends so there's always love regardless between us.
The scene returns to the two.
ALEX J: I'm really wondering how that's gonna be with Jeremiah and Chase in the same room. Them two do not seem to rock with each other at all
BRAELYN MONROE: Oh and before I forget, I wanted to invite you personally out to my Ski Ranch that my parents own in Denver, I want them to meet Chase for the first time so we’re flying out to Denver in a few days so they can meet each other but I kind of wanted to make it a group thing, I know with Covid going on I’m sure everyone has been wanting to get out of the house and getaway so I was thinking about inviting everyone at Jada’s housewarming.
ALEX J: oh that actually sounds like a good time! I love it in Denver
BRAELYN MONROE: I think it would be fun, I just hope you guys are ready for the cold and the snow, I’m used to it since I’ve lived in Denver before but I know you girls are used to the hot weather so just make sure you pack some heavy coats and clothes.
Braelyn chuckles.
BRAELYN MONROE: I’m inviting everyone so hopefully everyone comes.
ALEX J: I’d totally be down.. I used to go all.the time when I was a kid. My dad used to take me skiing all the time.
BRAELYN MONROE: But I appreciate you taking the time out to meet with me, I just wanted to make sure we were on good terms before going to jada’s house, I didn’t want it to be awkward.
ALEX J: I'm glad you did. I can't lie, I was a little skeptical coming in. But I feel like we can start with a fresh slate
The two continue talking and eating as the scene fades and reopens with Richie RIch and Yeshua inside of Ikea, the two are shown walking down each aisle trying to find a few things to get for Jada and her new home.
YESHUA BANNER: Richie knows I hate shopping, I don’t know why he dragged me out to this store to do this when he could have done all this while we were in LA. but it's better for him to set this all up then me because if it was left up to me then the shit probably wouldn’t turn out nice, i never know what to buy people when they throw housewarmings, I would have bought a plant and called it a day.
Yeshua laughs.
YESHUA BANNER: But luckily Richie is here to help a nigga, he’s good at this shit.
The scene cuts back to the two, Richie Rich notices some table decorations that would fit perfectly on a kitchen or dining room table, he tosses a few items in his cart and the two continue walking down the aisle.
YESHUA BANNER: I feel like we’ve already been here an hour.
RICHIE RICH: Don’t judge me, you know I love Ikea, half of our shit in our place is from Ikea.
YESHUA BANNER: Yeah that's the problem, you spend so much in this store I would think by now you would be tired of it.
RICHIE RICH: I don’t think I could ever get tired of this store, everyone loves Ikea.
YESHUA BANNER: Everyone except me, plus I’m tired. We’ve been walking around since we landed in Tampa, I was at least trying to rest up before heading to Jada’s, I'm sure the alcohol will be running over and I need to be ready.
RICHIE RICH: Don’t worry babe, I’m almost finished.
YESHUA BANNER: I think you’re looking for stuff for you, what's in the cart is enough for Jada yo, she’s not picky at all.
RICHIE RICH: Fine! I can see you're about to have a fit so I’ll head to checkout.
Richie Rich adjusts his mask on his face and starts pushing the car towards the self checkout, Yeshua follows behind him.
RICHE RICH: I meant to ask you if it was okay that I came to the housewarming, I know Jada and I know each other but we don’t know each other like that.
YESHUA BANNER: She knows you're my dude so she won’t have a problem and I thought y’all already knew one another.
RICHIE RICH: We’ve met in passing and at MIL events but we’ve never sat down, hung out or had a conversation, I’m just happy I’m finally getting to meet your friends. I know with Covid and everything it's been difficult for us all to hang, but now we get the chance and I want to make a good impression.
YESHUA BANNER: I appreciate that, but it really doesn’t matter whether they like you or not, I like you.
RICHIE RICH: It would feel nice if they did.
YESHUA BANNER: I get why Richie Rich is a little hesitant in meeting everyone, his past relationship experiences haven’t been the greatest so I’m thinking he never got that opportunity to meet any of his exes friends, but that's what makes me different from them. I told him it was good for him to leave the clowns alone and mess with someone who is going to really show him what love is about.
Yeshua winks at the camera as the scene cuts back to the two.
YESHUA BANNER: I’m sure they’ll love you as much as I do Rich, don’t stress yourself out!
RICHIE RICH: I’ll try not too.
Yeshua playfully smacks Richie Rich on the butt while startling the cashier who is watching over the self checkout line, the two ring their items up and pay.
RICHIE RICH: Man I hope she likes these gifts.
YESHUA BANNER: Boy lets go, their fine.
The two laugh as they exit the store, the scene fades and reopens inside of Jada’s beautiful and new Tampa home, Jada is shown running around making sure everything is set up to her liking. She meets with the DJ to make sure the playlist is right and then walks over to one of the tables where she has fruit and finger foods set up. The scene cuts to the outside where cars are shown starting to arrive.
JADA MONTANA: Tonight is my housewarming party and I am ready to get LIT. I got a couple people coming over, my close very close friends and they're going to help me celebrate moving into this house. This is a no drama household so any drama brought into my house of peace will be thrown the fuck out and I mean every word of that THROWN THE FUCK OUT part. It's like with the pandemic going on you would think more people would be nicer, but that's neither here or there all I know is tonight I’m ready to party like no other.
The scene cuts back to inside of Jada’s home, by this time a few guests have arrived and the DJ blares the music up, sounds of the City Girls blasts through the speakers and the party has officially started. The scene cuts back to the outside where Jeremiah is shown arriving with Sky and Yeshua, the three hop out of the Ford F150 Sport that Jeremiah was driving and all make their way towards the entrance of Jada’s home.
YESHUA BANNER: Jada’s house nice as fuck on the outside, she wasn’t playing.
SKY TOWNSEND: It's so pretty.
The three make their way inside and without warning, the vibes and the music from the party already set the mood for the three. Sky reaches for a drink that is being served by some of the helpers while Yeshua and Jeremiah make their way towards Jada who is standing by the entrance to her kitchen chatting with some old friends.
YESHUA BANNER: Yo Jada, I fucking love your crib yo, when everyone leaves you gotta give me a tour, i don’t want people seeing you do it now and then they wanna come.
JADA MONTANA: Of course, I’m so happy you guys could be here.
Jada leans in and gives both Jeremiah and Yeshua a hug.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I’m here!
JADA MONTANA: Yes Jeremiah I can see, I’m happy you decided to show up tonight.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: It took a lot of convincing to get me here, but I can’t promise you my presence will be here for long!
JADA MONTANA: Just play nice.
Jada kisses Jeremiah on the cheek and she gives him another big hug.
JADA MONTANA: I’m just happy you here, we’re going to make this evening fun, we’re going to get drunk and we’re going to party like it's our last.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: That’s fine with me, my cup already filled.
Jeremiah takes a huge sip of henny that's in his red cup.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I’m already a little tipsy, I’ll probably be in an alcoholic coma in an hour, just make sure your room is available in case I want to lay down.
JADA MONTANA: Oh no, the last time you got lit you ended up in my bed along with some vomit, we won’t go down that road again so if your ass is feeling sick then you better hit the nearest bathroom and stay there until you can’t throw up anymore.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Ha, you lying.
The two continue talking as the scene cuts back to infront of Jada’s house, three more cars pull up with several people jumping out of each other. In the last car sat Braelyn and Chase who are making out in the backseat.
BRAELYN MONROE: Tonight is Jada’s housewarming and I’m already having the time of my life, I had a couple drinks and my baby is feeling freaky right now, if we weren’t in this uber I would probably be doing some other naughty things if you know what i mean.
Braelyn giggles.
BRAELYN MONROE: But I’m just happy to get out of the house and spend some time with my boyfriend and close friends, it's been a while since I’ve been to a house party so I’m ready to have some fun.
The scene cuts back to Braelyn and Chase hopping out the backseat, the two walk up the long walkway and head into Jada’s house where they are met with alcohol and loud music. Chase grabs a drink for both himself and Braelyn and the two make their way further into the house.
BRAELYN MONROE: I freaking love Jada’s house.
CHASE STEVENS: Damn. You weren't lying babe. This is a nice spot. Leave it to Jada to spare no expense.
BRAELYN MONROE: I’m happy we’re here babe, we’ve been stuck in the house for so damn long it feels great just to be out.
CHASE STEVENS: Definitely, it's good to get out from the same four walls.
Chase moved behind her and slid his arms around her waist.
BRAELYN MONROE: But how are you feeling tonight? You know Jeremiah is supposed to be here and we all haven’t been around each other in a long time, well not in the same room at least.
Hearing her made that smile fade from his lips momentarily. He let out a sigh and gave her a quick kiss to the cheek.
CHASE STEVENS: I'm good. Had a few glasses of champagne before coming out. You're looking good as hell, this is Jada's night. I understand that. Won't be any problem on this side unless needed.
BRAELYN MONROE: I just hope he doesn’t try anything crazy, I’m here to have fun, not be involved in any drama whatsoever.
CHASE STEVENS: Same.
Jada notices Braelyn and Chase so she rushes over to them greeting them both with a hug.
JADA MONTANA: Thank you guys for coming.
CHASE STEVENS: Now you know we wouldn't miss it. Thank you for having us Jada.
BRAELYN MONROE: Of course love, the house looks amazing and it smells good in here.
JADA MONTANA: That's the smell of good food, good marijuana and febreze smell.
Jada chuckles.
JADA MONTANA: But you guys make yourself at home, the drinks are flowing and it's been nothing but positive vibes since it started.
BRAELYN MONROE: I can see, it looks like everyone is enjoying themselves.
JADA MONTANA: Lets just hope it stays that way.
BRAELYN MONROE: Oh I wanted to let you know that I’m planning a trip to Denver so Chase can meet my parents, I would like it if everyone could come just so we can kind of get away and since we all live in areas where it doesn’t snow, i was thinking Denver would be perfect just so we can experience something different.
JADA MONTANA: Ooooooohhh, so you want us to experience freezing the death?
Braelyn bursts out in laughter.
BRAELYN MONROE: No girl of course not, but I thought skiing would be fun since we rarely do it, look that's why they make fur coats and north faces so people like us who don’t live around snow will be fully prepared.
JADA MONTANA: I’m messing, I’m down to go.
BRAELYN MONROE: I was going to send out a group text tomorrow and let everyone know the details.
JADA MONTANA: Yes shoot me an email and I’ll make sure to add the dates to my calendar, I’m actually excited about this little getaway.
BRAELYN MONROE: Me and you both.
The three continue talking as the scene cuts to Jeremiah who is standing near the patio door, the door is halfway cracked and Jeremiah lights up a pre-roll. Yeshua walks up behind Jeremiah along with Richie Rich at his side and taps Jeremiah on the shoulder.
YESHUA BANNER: Playa what’s up?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I was wondering when your ass was going to get here.
YESHUA BANNER: Richie and I were handling some things back home.
Yeshua responds with a smirk on his face.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Yeah i bet, hey Richie.
RICHIE RICH: Don’t mind Yeshua he’s just being childish as usual, but hey Jeremiah. Why are you over here in the corner alone?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Y’all know I don’t like people, plus I didn’t want to share my smoke so I’m trying to be away from the crowd.
YESHUA BANNER: Ah I see, well you need to let me hit that shit.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Of course.
Jeremiah passes the pre-roll to Yeshua.
YESHUA BANNER: I saw your boy Chase is here with Braelyn.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Fuck outta here, I don’t befriend clowns, I’m surprised they’re still together.
YESHUA BANNER: I think you're still hurt bro, you gotta let that go.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I’m not hurt, he just disrespected me and I don’t let just anyone disrespect me, especially a clown like him. He’s all talk anyway, a social media gangster because if he was really about that life he would have run up as soon as he saw me.
YESHUA BANNER: Yeah I don’t think it’s that deep bro.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: It's deep enough for me, I won’t beat his ass tonight only because this is Jada’s thing and I don’t want to ruin it for her, but if he steps to me wrong, hell if he even tries to speak to me then I can’t promise what will happen after.
YESHUA BANNER: Just try and stay calm bro, just like you said it's Jada’s party and you know she would be mad as hell if you were to fuck it up.
RICHIE RICH: I’m so confused as to what’s going on, but I’m sure another drink will help lighten the mood so how about I go grab us some.
Richie Rich walks off to grab more drinks, the scene cuts to Braelyn and Chase who are sitting on one of the couches in the living room. Both have drinks in their hands bobbing their head to the sounds of Project Pat’s “Chicken-Head” song.
BRAELYN MONROE: You okay baby?
CHASE STEVENS: Hmm? Yeah...yeah I'm good.
BRAELYN MONROE: I noticed Jeremiah keeps looking over here, I really hope he doesn’t try and start any drama tonight.
Chase kept one eye on Jeremiah the moment they walked through the door. It was a long time coming that these two crossed paths.
BRAELYN MONROE: I don’t know why he is still holding onto whatever issue he has with us, it's been almost a year like he should have gotten over it, and me!
CHASE STEVENS: He's hated me the moment I got here. Got worse the second we got together. He needed to get in his skull, he lost. I won.
Chase looked toward Jeremiah for a second until she snapped him out of his daze.
BRAELYN MONROE: I just want to have fun with you tonight, that’s all.
CHASE STEVENS: You know I'm all for that. Give ya man a kiss.
Chase gave Braelyn a kiss before standing up from the couch.
CHASE STEVENS: I'm going to say hey to Yeshua and Richie. I can still talk to them right?
BRAELYN MONROE: I don’t think it would be an issue, while you do that I’ll go find the girls and chat with them for a bit.
Both Braelyn and Chase go their separate ways, Chase walks over to Yeshua and Jeremiah who are still standing by the patio door. Yeshua turns to Chase and the two dap each other up while Jeremiah stands there acting as if Chase wasn’t there.
YESHUA BANNER: Yo Chase, whats good man? Are you enjoying yourself?
CHASE STEVENS: Yeah, I'm having a good time. Feels good to catch up with everyone.
YESHUA BANNER: That’s good, I’m a little fucked up right now and I told Richie I wasn’t going to drink as much but man I needed this.
CHASE STEVENS: After 2020, I think we all needed this.
Yeshua turns and looks at Jeremiah.
YESHUA BANNER: Are you going to speak man?
Jeremiah turns and looks at both Yeshua and Chase, he shrugs and looks back out towards the yard.
YESHUA BANNER: Ummm ok then, well anyway how are you and Braelyn? I see y’all lighting up social media with your love, haha!
Jeremiah turns and looks at Chase.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Yeah how is my sloppy seconds doing?
Chase let his head drop while a light chuckle escaped his lips. His head lifted up as he kept his focus on Yeshua.
CHASE STEVENS: First off, thank you Yeshua. Braelyn and I are doing great. I'm looking forward to meeting her parents soon. Secondly…
Chase looked toward Jeremiah.
CHASE STEVENS: To qualify as sloppy seconds would mean you got somewhere close.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Ha that’s funny because you don’t know how far I “got” with her, you can’t believe everything you hear here playboy, I know you know the song Loyal by Breezy.
Jeremiah balls up his fist almost dropping his drink.
YESHUA BANNER: Wait a minute y’all, chill out.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I’m good but tell your friend to watch his mouth!
YESHUA BANNER: Yo, you started it by calling his girl sloppy seconds, you trippin J.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: The truth hurts huh?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Chase doesn't want it with me, he's talking big game because he’s around all these people but trust me if we were alone it would be a different situation.
The scene cuts back to the three, Richie Rich makes his way back towards Yeshua, Jeremiah and Chase and with him follows Jada, Braelyn and Sky.
JADA MONTANA: I hope you boys are playing nice.
CHASE STEVENS: Not this time Jada. I'm tired of you Jeremiah. You were acting like a pissy little bitch the moment I got around here. I see you balling up ya fist.
Chase moved up closer to him only to be separated by Yeshua.
CHASE STEVENS: Either you make a move or you get it through that thick skull that I'm not going anywhere.
CHASE STEVENS: The issue with Jeremiah and I is deeper than Braelyn. I feel it. I don't necessarily know what it is, but I'm done letting my calm nature be mistaken for weakness.
The scene cuts back to the party that was going sideways real quick.
CHASE STEVENS: How about you drink yourself back in a stupor and have someone pick you up in the morning.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: So you trying to attack my sobriety?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Before tonight I've been sober for months and doing what I need to do to stay that way, I only decided to drink tonight because of it being Jada’s party. I haven’t been around most of the group so I thought it would be okay to let loose for one night, but I probably shouldn’t have. The alcohol in my body is telling me to square up and knock this dude into next week and then take his bitch and make her mine again.
Jeremiah laughs as the scene cuts back to the group.
JADA MONTANA: No Jeremiah I don’t think he was.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I didn’t ask you Jada, I’m asking this punk bitch.
The scene quickly cuts to the outside where Alex J and Rayne are shown arriving, the two make their way inside of Jada’s home admiring the decor and how the house is set up. Alex notices the group all by the balcony door and she grabs Rayne’s arm and makes their way toward the group.
ALEX J: I haven’t been here 2 seconds and I can already see something happening outside on the balcony.
The scene cuts back to the group, Alex and Rayne reach everyone and say their hello’s.
ALEX J: Hey everyone.
Alex looks on wondering why no one is really acknowledging her, she notices the anger in Jeremiah’s eyes and his fists balled up.
ALEX J: Ok, what the hell did I miss?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: You ain’t miss shit, this little nerd is trying talk tough in front of my old bitch not knowing he will get knocked the fuck out.
RAYNE WESTBROOK: Woah, a fight? Damn I need to go get another drink real quick.
ALEX J: Girl stop it. Anyway, Jeremiah, are you drunk?
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: That’s not the fucking problem here, why does it matter if I’m drunk or not? I told you this little bitch is fucking with me and I’m ready to beat his ass.
BRAELYN MONROE: Y’all please get your friend, he’s acting like a fool right now.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Fuck you!
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: And I meant that “FUCK YOU”! FUCK YOU BRAELYN STANK PUSSY MONROE!
The scene cuts back to the group.
BRAELYN MONROE: Yeah he’s drunk and he’s acting a fool Jada, he needs to go.
JADA MONTANA: Jeremiah maybe you should lay down babe, you can go to my room.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: I’m not laying down, if this clown wants to fight then let's get to it.
BRAELYN MONROE: LIKE CAN YOU PLEASE STOP!
BRAELYN MONROE: I really felt bad for Jeremiah, I mean you can clearly tell the man has had way too many drinks, I don’t know why he’s picking a fight with my man but I hope he knows that Chase doesn’t play any games and he will fight for what's his!
The scene cuts back to the group.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: We can take this outside right now, I don’t want to mess up my friends house so let's go outside punk.
Jeremiah turns and swings open the screen door to the balcony, he stands outside on the balcony ripping his shirt off, egging Chase to come outside.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Come outside punk, you got all that mouth.
CHASE STEVENS: You can't even stand up straight. But you know what. I'm beyond tired of you disrespecting my girl.
Chase walked outside as the CL crew got ready to step in if needed.
CHASE STEVENS: You got me outside...swing Jeremiah. Give me another reason to drop your drunk ass.
Jada rushes outside forcing herself between Chase and Jeremiah.
JADA MONTANA: YOU AREN’T GOING TO FIGHT IN MY HOUSE, I WON’T HAVE IT.
Jada starts pushing Jeremiah further and further away from Chase while Sky, Braelyn, and Alex J all stand in front of Chase kind of holding him back from Jeremiah.
ALEX J: Someone please take Jeremiah outside or into another room.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Nah fuck that, I’m fine!
JADA MONTANA: I cannot believe this shit is happening at my fucking house warming, this is ridiculous. Jeremiah I told you not to come here and start shit!
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: WHY THE FUCK YOU BLAMING ME? THAT CLOWN STARTED IT!
CHASE STEVENS: AND I'LL MAKE SURE I END IT TOO!
BRAELYN MONROE: Look we can just leave, we didn’t come here for this.
JADA MONTANA: No I don’t want you to leave guys, please stay.
CHASE STEVENS: It might be the best thing….
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: FUCK CHASE! LET THAT FUCKBOY LEAVE!
Chase pushes himself through Alex, Sky and Braelyn forcing himself on Jeremiah, he grabs Jeremiah shirt and pushes him against the wall almost causing Jeremiah to trip and fall.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: GET YOUR HAND OFF OF ME!
Jeremiah takes a swing at Chase but Chase ducks and returns with a punch to Jeremiah’s head, Jeremiah falls backwards knocking himself against the a/c unit basically knocking him out cold.
JADA MONTANA: OH MY GOD, JEREMIAH! JEREMIAH GET UP!
Chase looks down at Jeremiah and shakes his head in disgust. It shouldn’t have to come to this.
CHASE STEVENS: ….fuck….
Chase pushed past everyone and sat down.
ALEX J: This is ridiculous, JEREMIAH!
SKY TOWNSEND: Is he ok?
Jada continues shaking Jeremiah hoping to wake him out of his unconscious state of mind but has no luck.
JADA MONTANA: I think we need to call the ambulance guys, he’s not getting up!
Jada quickly pulls her phone out of her pocket and dials 911, she gives the operator all the information needed and advises her a unit will be at her home shortly. Jada slides her phone back into her pocket and starts shaking Jeremiah again.
JADA MONTANA: I am in shock and I really don’t know who to be mad at, Jeremiah for being a drunk mess or Chase for punching him and knocking him out, like I didn’t know what to do at this point. All I knew was I wanted my friend to get up so I can be sure that he was ok.
The scene switches over to Braelyn’s confessional.
BRAELYN MONROE: I honestly felt like he got what he deserved, I don’t think Chase was going to let too many “bitches” and “hoes” slide before he finally snapped and I’m happy my man stood up for his girl. Thank you baby!
Braelyn blows a kiss at the camera and the scene shifts back to the housewarming and the group. By this time Yeshua and Richie Rich have made their way outside on the balcony, Yeshua walks over to Jeremiah and starts slapping his face a few times before he notices Jeremiah opening his eyes, Yeshua extends his hand out but Jeremiah slaps it away. Chase stood up looking on.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: FUCK (Jeremiah coughs) Y’ALL! If I wasn’t drunk I would have beaten that ass.
YESHUA BANNER: Yo calm down Jeremiah.
JEREMIAH KINGSTON: Don’t tell me to be calm, let me sober up and try that shit again.
CHASE STEVENS: Why the hell are you still talking?
Jada turns and looks at Chase.
JADA MONTANA: Can you guys just go inside please and let me handle this, please.
CHASE STEVENS: Yeah.
BRAELYN MONROE: Come on babe, I think we should go anyway.
CHASE STEVENS: Watch him. He could have a concussion.
Braelyn and Chase walk inside the house and towards the front door, they leave out, hopping in their car and driving off. The scene cuts back to the group, Jada, Yeshua, Alex and Rayne are all shown helping Jeremiah to Jada’s room so he can get cleaned up and rest.
JADA MONTANA: Alex please go turn on the shower for him.
ALEX J: Got it!
Alex rushes into the bathroom and switches on the shower for Jeremiah, she walks back into the bedroom and helps Jada, Rayne and Yeshua undress Jeremiah and help him into the shower. The three close the door as they leave the bathroom and head back into Jada’s room.
JADA MONTANA: This is crazy.
YESHUA BANNER: I mean he kind of asked for it, I thought he was sober.
JADA MONTANA: I’m guessing he fell back off, I don’t know but I really hate to see him like this.
YESHUA BANNER: We all do.
RAYNE WESTBROOK: I’m confused as to what the hell is going on, I knew I shouldn’t have popped that xanax and drank before I got here.
TO BE CONTINUED
The scene fades to black.
