#theLIFELAMIA #S4 || Ep003 || Broken Friends & The Wedding

Best friend!  

What's good pickles? 

I am here!  

Oh word! i don't see why you didn't let me just fly you out. 

I had to handle a few things at the Bar before i left. But a friend of mine sent me on his jet.  

Who is this friend?  

Don't be nosy!  

Yea aiight. So where are you? to was just on the way to get fitted for this tux.But I can scoop you first since you're already here. 

That sounds good papa. i was just grabbing a slice of pizza. It's been so long! you know how much i love it here. 

Oh you at our spot? 

Si..you know it! 

That's wussup, grab me a slice ma. I’m literally right around the corner. 

i got you papa. see you soon okay? 

Drake clicks off the phone and presses harder on the gas. He zips through the traffic as the scene fades to a confessional cam. 

Confessional Cam 

Niggas gettin married man. 

He shakes his head chuckling. 

Never thought i would see this day. i ain't even gon lie. This shit still don't feel real. My moms used to always ask.. (mimicking his mom) “Dee, when are you gonna settle down and get married? You can't be out here like your father, living that single life forever. 

He chuckles.  

Well I hope you're smiling down on me ma. cuz I’m doing it. And i got a good one. me and Brandon been through alot man. Throughout our relationship i know i wasn't always faithful. and i did a lot to hurt him. But throughout it all he stood by me. And he fuck wit my kids heavy.  

he pauses. 

Ain't too many people out there that's gonna be wit a nigga wit four kids. so i had to snatch that up quick. i know B still doubts me a lot because 3 of my kids came during our relationship. I been in the doghouse for that for a minute now but i expect it. I fucked up. so i been doing what i have to, to show him that i see how he been riding for me. And it should be rewarded. all he asked for was a ring. so he got that. And most of yall know B. yall know what he likes. so yall know he got big taste. And after all the shit i did i had to pull out everything for this shit. i woulda been fine going to the courthouse. 

He chuckles. 

But he wants this big thing. And imma give it to him. whatever he wants. Let's hope the wallet aint empty by the end of this shit man.  

He chuckles as the scene fades back to his car. He is shown pulling up to a pizza place. Angelica is shown standing on the sidewalk enjoying her slice. Drake hops out of his truck and walks over to her giving her a hug 

Ayye. What's good ma!  

I feel like i haven't seen you in years! that's a problem.  

Yea i know. but you been busy yo! All these businesses and shit. im tryna get like you. 

Don't even papa! Mr. four kids, producing albums, while planning a wedding and working on your own rap career. 

He chuckles. 

I guess we both been kinda huh? 

Exactly. Don't even trip 

The two walk toward the truck. Drake opens the door for her and she gets in as he gets in on the other side. he starts the engine and pulls off. 

So how is everything!? how are the little ones. 

They're good. getting bigger everyday. i can't believe a nigga really got four kids. I'm tryna get full custody of my youngest three. but the new baby i already know that ain't gon happen. She not even letting me see him forreal.  

the scene fades to a confessional cam. 

Confessional Cam 

Just like just about every nigga i know, i got some crazy ass baby movas. Trina is the mother of my youngest three. We was together for years. And if shit went her way this would be our wedding. And she tried to use the kids as leverage to get me back but i aint wit it. i'm just tryna be a father to my kids.  

He pauses 

Now Mercedes. that's a whole different story. When me and Brandon was off, me and her was on. i produced a few tracks off her latest album so that meant we spent a lotta time together. and y'all know how all them late nights go. I liked her alot. i can't even lie. and if shit was different. we probably woulda been good, but things didn't work out like that. But then she called me and told me she was pregnant, and she was keeping it. by then me.and B was already engaged. and she definitely didn't take that news well. when she had the baby she wouldn't let me see him. but she telling everybody I'm this dead beat dad and shit. Everybody who know me know i take care of mine. so if she would just cut the bull, i could be a father to my son and we could leave the rest of the bull behind us. 

the scene fades back to the truck. 

Well Drake, think about the situation. it is kinda messed up when you think about it.  

Not messed up enough to keep me away from my son. Ang, i know I’m fucked up all around, and most of these situations are definitely my fault. but when it come to my kids. Nah. that's mine. i make sure they good. and she not even giving me a chance.  

Drake clenches his fists, clearly starting to get angry. Angelica rubs his leg, trying to make him feel better. 

Listen, I actually spoke to Mercedes when i was out in Miami. And she really does seem like she wants to come to some sort of agreement. I really don't think her intention is to keep your son away from you. But she wants to come up with a solution that is gonna be best for both of yall. And she kinda has her concerns about Brandon. 

Man B aint got shit to do with this dog! Wutchu mean she got concerns? And why can't she talk to me about this shit? She don't even know you! 

Because she wants to avoid all of what I'm getting right now. Drake, Papa you have to understand that this is hard for her too! Drake you need to learn to keep it in your damn pants and you know it. you knew what your situation was with Brandon, and you knew y'all weren't done! This is a pattern with you dumb dumb! You see something you like and you just can't resist. You don't think all the time! 

You sounding real team not your best friend right now! 

Boy stop. you know I'm always gonna give it to you straight. and you know I'll ride with you even after the wheels fall off! But that has never meant that i wouldn't tell you when you messed up. And with this, you did. and it's up to you to fix it. soooooo. 

Drake sighs as he makes a left turn 

Aiight Ang. You right! Damn! I know i did some crazy ass shit. but i'm trying. at least gimme that. why you think I'm bout to get married? huh? im tryna show niggas that I'm serious. i made some mistakes, shit, niggas ain't perfect. but i ain't do none of this by myself. And at the end of the day what's done is done. I can't rewind. I'm tired of hearing bout the same shit man. I'm tryna fix shit but I can't do it by myself.  

So sit down and talk to her. that's all she's asking. And go in with an open mind. Actually listen to her! Don't make this difficult! You want to see your son don't you? 

You know I do. 

So act like it! And just do this Drake. You have a wedding to think about. You don't want to have child and legal battles that you know damn well you don't need boy! Be smart.  

Drake pulls into the parking lot of a very upscale wedding shop.Turning the car off, he looks to Angelica. 

Fine. I'll meet with her. But she gotta bring my son.  

I will let her know your request. 

Drake cuts his eyes at her  

It's not a request Ang! My son there or I’m not there! Now let's go. I'm tired of talking about this right now. You gotta help me pick this tux out cuz you know i don't know nothing about none of this. 

Well you already know! that's why I'm here. leave it up to you and you'd be in basketball shorts and a beater. 

What's wrong with that?  

The two chuckle and continue to chat as they walk toward the boutique. The scene fades and reopens up in NY, Brandon is shown sitting in one of Drake’s many cars, sitting beside him was his best friend Braelyn Monroe, the two pull out of a Chic-Fi-La drive thru and make their way onto the exit ramp for the beltway.. 

BRAELYN MONROE: 

I can’t believe what your Dad did yo, like he’s trippin. I swear I’ve always thought that man was creepy, even when he was younger and how he would look at when I would come over. 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I’m done with that nigga for good, I don’t ever want to speak or see him again.  

BRAELYN MONROE: 

And to embarrass you like that was uncalled for, Drake should have beat his ass.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

Nah if I would have let that went down then we wouldn’t be getting married and Drake’s ass would probably be under the jail. He’s claiming he has all this dirt on me and Drake’s life but he doesn't’ know shit.  

BRAELYN MONROE: 

I mean he does work for the DA office so you never know what he may know or don’t know. 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

No, he use to work for the DA’s office until they forced him to retire, now he works with Politicians and shit but that doesn’t make it any better.  

Confessional Cam 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I really didn’t want to waste anymore time on this pathetic human that I call a father, but the amount of pain I had going on inside of me was making it difficult for me not to talk about it. I know venting to Braelyn would give me some sort of peace of mind because she kind of knew what was going on from previous experiences.  

Brandon sighs.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I remember what time my dad came to my school because he found a gay porn magazine in my room and embarrassed me in front of the whole classroom, I skipped school for like a week because I was so embarrassed and Braelyn was there to witness that. Like my father isn’t a good dude at all, he has so many demons he’s dealing with it's not even funny.  

The scene cuts back to Brandon and Braelyn.  

BRAELYN MONROE: 

So how are we going to keep him from crashing the wedding? I guess you could hire security but will that be enough to keep him out.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I’m already on it, and I would hope he wouldn’t try anything crazy. I wish we could move the venue but it’s too late, the wedding is in three days and if we were to try and move it now it would be an issue.  

BRAELYN MONROE:  

Yeah thats definitely out of the question, I’m sure everything will be ok. Just focus on the wedding and the man you are about to share the rest of your life with, this is an amazing experience Brandon and I want you to enjoy all of it, so that drama with your Dad please don’t let it bother you.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I think this is the first time I’ve eaten since that incident happen, my appetite has been so up and down lately but I think I’m just nervous too. 

BRAELYN MONROE: 

About the wedding? 

Brandon nods.  

Confessional Cam 

BRANDON YOUNG:  

I really don’t know how to feel about this wedding, I know I want to marry Drake but I honestly don’t know if he’s ready. When I met Drake it was on some DL shit but over the years a lot of things have changed, even though Drake is still discreet about his lifestyle, he’s been more open minded lately to things especially when it comes to me. But the only thing that worries me the most about this wedding is if Drake is going to step out again. 

Brandon sighs. 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

Drake still loves women, and I don’t know if he could really commit to being with me for the rest of his life because I am not a female. The thing that bothered me about Drake stepping out and having three kids on me was the fact he never sat down and talked to me about it. I think I would have been more opened to the idea if he would have ran it by first but to find out about it and through the blogs hurt like hell.  

Brandon shakes his head.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

But I love all his kids like their my own and I can’t fault him for wanting a family especially since he couldn’t start one with me. But I need to know that he is in it for the long run.  

PRODUCTION: 

And Yosef? 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

What about Yosef?  

PRODUCTION: 

That’s officially done? 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

It was done after that incident happened, and I don’t understand why it's being brought up now. Look I made my mistakes with Yosef but that's a done deal, he’s happy with Richie Rich and I’m happy with Drake and that’s what it is. I wish them both success and a healthy relationship and as long as their relationship doesn't interfere with mine then we won't have any issues.  

Brandon winks at the camera as the scene cuts back to him and Braelyn.  

BRAELYN MONROE: 

Have you decided if you're going to invite Richie Rich and Yosef? 

Brandon rolls his eyes.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

That I don’t know, I mean I wouldn’t want to disrespect Drake and invite Yosef, but Yosef said he really wanted to come and support.  

BRAELYN MONROE: 

So you’ve been in contact with him? 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

Not really, we’ve talked and he mentioned this the last time we were all in a room together, I really don’t think it would be an issue since we're all in our own relationships but then again you just never know what could happen.  

BRAELYN MONROE: 

I would say leave it alone, don’t open that box because it could only cause you issues down the line. You and Drake are in a better place so let's keep it that way. 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

You're right.  

BRAELYN MONROE:  

But i’m pumped, I know this wedding is going to be out of this world and I’m blessed to be there.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I wouldn’t have it no other way, that's why I made sure your schedule was clear. I hope London comes but the way things has been going I don’t think he’s going to show and that would really hurt me.  

BRAELYN MONROE: 

Oh i think he will, he doesn’t seem like the type to do something like that and plus he knows how important this day is to you. What about the other guys though? Carlos and his boyfriend, I can’t remember his name.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

Ew Levi, fuck no. I sent Carlos an invitation but not Levi and I specifically told Carlos I didn’t want him at my wedding so of course Carlos declined but it is what it is.  

BRAELYN MONROE: 

Wow, and you two were friends first. 

Confessional Cam 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

It doesn’t surprise me that Carlos won’t attend my wedding but he needs to understand that my loyalty will always be to London Carter. London has helped me in so many ways and even though we didn’t get off to a fresh start in the beginning, we both have grown closer to each other and if London is going to be in the building then I rather him then Levi. 

Brandon shrugs. 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

Sorry Levi, my friendship with London is more important than you at my wedding. 

The scene cuts back to Braelyn and Brandon, Brandon finally reaches the mansion and he parks the car inside one of the garages. Brandon grabs the food while Braelyn follows behind him and the two make their way inside of the Mansion.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I am ready to eat chile, I’ve been running around all day and it has been hot as fuck outside, a bitch tired.  

Brandon laughs as he walks into the other room, he notices the bag that had the wedding suits inside of them opened and rip up, he rushes over to the bag and pulls one of the suits out. 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

WHAT THE FUCK? 

Brandon looks at the suit and notices the holes and the red stains on it, he shakes his head balling up the suits throwing it on the ground.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? WHO THE FUCK DID THIS? 

Brandon rushes into the living room area where Leslie, one of the nannies is shown caring for Saniyah, Drake’s youngest daughter.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

LESLIE?! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SUIT? 

LESLIE: 

I’m confused, what do you mean what happened to your suit? 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

My suit is destroyed, like all the way destroyed. I can’t fucking wear it at the wedding if it fucking looks like that.  

LESLIE: 

OH MY GOD BRANDON, I don’t know. The place dropped it off earlier and it was fine, but then your father came by and dropped off a envelope, Saniyah was acting cranky so I left and checked on her and when I came back he was gone and I found the envelope on the chair.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

Where is the envelope? 

Leslie points to the table, Brandon walks over to the table and grabs the envelope, he pulls out a beneficiary paper showing that he was removed along with a restraining order document, he looks at the last paper which was a letter from his father's lawyer stating a lawsuit was in the process, at the end of the note in big letters it read: 

YOU CAN’T GET MARRIED IF YOU DON’T HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR HUH FAGGOT, MAKE SURE YOU LAWYER UP BECAUSE WHEN I’M FINISHED WITH YOU, YOU’LL BE BACK ON THE STREETS SUCKING DICK FOR MONEY. BURN IN HELL! 

Brandon shakes his head in disgust, trying not to cry, he drops the letter on the floor and starts to walk towards the entrance to the garage door, with the camera crew following behind him, he turns around pushing the camera out of his face.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I’M NOT FILMING RIGHT NOW, FUCK OUTTA HERE. 

Brandon walks out of the door slamming it behind him, Braelyn rushes after him as the scene fades and reopens at L.A Models agency. Da Suk is shown walking down a long hallway with a portfolio in his hand. The scene fades to a confessional cam. 

CONFESSIONAL CAM 

So i got a call from someone at L.A Models who got their hands on my portfolio, and they might be interested in representing me. This was huge news for me! The whole reason i came to America was to pursue a modeling care. i was starting to lose hope to be honest because things were moving kinda slow for me. I've been here fire two years. i should be booking way more than small local fashion shows and infomercials. Getting represented by this agency would be a huge step in right direction.  

I absolutely adore your look! Break down your heritage for me now 

I am Korean, Vietnamese, American. 

How long have you been modeling? 

Professionally? for about two years. But I've been walking the streets like they were runways since i could walk! 

The two chuckle 

I'm definitely loving the confidence as well. you definitely seem to have that “LA” look that we are all about. I definitely see a spot here for you in our family if you want it . 

The two are shown continuing to chat as the scene fades and reopens in LA, Carlos Torrez and Levi Bryant are shown sitting down outside a local Beverly Hills Restaurant, the two are showing sharing some mozzarella sticks and having a conversation. 

Confessional Cam: 

LEVI BRYANT: 

So Carlos dragged me out of the house to meet up with these bum ass niggas. 

CARLOS TORREZ: 

Yo chill. 

LEVI BRYANT: 

I didn’t have a problem with Richie Rich or his little boytoy Yosef until recently. I understand they all shared a friendship before but after that shit went down with London, it seem like they chose his side instead of hearing ours and I didn’t like that shit. 

CARLOS TORREZ: 

Yo that London shit is dead, leave it alone.  

LEVI BRYANT: 

Anyway, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and see what bullshit they talking about, I guess I need to support this whole turning over a new leaf kick that Carlos is dealing with.  

CARLOS TORREZ: 

I’m just trying to fix friendships that meant something to me, that’s all. 

Levi rolls his eyes as the scene cuts back to the two at the restaurant, after a few more minutes of waiting both Yosef and Richie Rich arrive. The two join Levi and Carlos at the table.  

YOSEF MARLEY: 

What’s good y’all? 

LEVI BRYANT: 

Cut the bullshit, whats up? 

RICHIE RICH: 

Whoa!  

CARLOS TORREZ: 

Yo Levi, Chill. 

YOSEF MARLEY: 

What are you talking about? 

RICHIE RICH: 

Y’all asked us to meet you here, so what is the problem? 

LEVI BRYANT: 

The problem is that you two decided to end your friendship with Carlos because you wanted to take London’s side, and I think it's phony for us all to be sitting here acting like we trying to build a friendship knowing damn well after we leave this table today we probably won’t even talk.  

RICHIE RICH: 

That’s not true, we didn’t choose anyone's side, we decided to stay out of it and we didn’t even hang out with London after that incident, we haven’t really seen him.  

LEVI BRYANT:  

Bullshit, y’all was turning up at the club just recently.  

RICHIE RICH:  

Bruh, you are trippin and we didn’t really come here to argue. Before Yosef or you came along, yes I had a friendship with Carlos but it wasn’t like we were hanging out everyday or calling each other everyday, I wasn’t even concerned about y’alls situation because I was dealing with my own.  

Confessional Cam 

RICHIE RICH: 

Levi is on 10 right now and I need dude to bring it down a couple notches. It's like everytime we go out this dude is always drunk and causing a fucking ruckus. 

YOSEF MARLEY: 

I’m just speechless, you already know I don’t like drama so I’m not even entertaining this dude. He’s new and if he trying to fit in with all of us then he need to come with a different approach, he already ran one of our friends away from the group.  

RICHIE RICH: 

No shade.  

The scene cuts back to the table.  

RICHIE RICH: 

Bruh you always on 10, like chill forreal. We didn’t come here with the intention to fight or argue, we was just trying to see what was up and we wanted to invite you again to our party we were having that was it.  

YOSEF MARLEY: 

But if you showing up like this then you can;t come yo, how much have you had to drink? 

CARLOS TORREZ: 

Yo don’t disrespect my nigga like that, like you know him and shit. We off and it's the middle of the day so if we want to have a drink then we can do that.  

YOSEF MARLEY: 

It's not disrespect when it's the truth, yo nigga seems to always be intoxicated and when he's like that, then shit like this happens. We’ve all peeped it before and even you have mentioned something about his drinking so don’t act brand new. 

Levi turns and looks at Carlos.  

LEVI BRYANT: 

So you venting to niggas about me drinking? You got an issue with it or something? Because if you do then I didn’t know anything about it.  

CARLOS TORREZ: 

We’ll talk about it later.  

LEVI BRYANT:  

Nah we can talk about it now since they know so much.  

RICHIE RICH: 

Listen, we’re going to excuse ourselves because this is not going into the right direction. Y’all can still come to the party but just come with a better attitude.  

Both Richie Rich and Yosef get up from the table leaving Carlos and Levi sitting there, Levi stares at Carlos with a stare could cut through his body.  

CARLOS TORREZ: 

I’m not trying to do this right now yo and on these cameras.  

LEVI BRYANT: 

Everyone always says you're a sneaky ass motherfucker, you got me thinking you don’t rock with these niggas but you rock with them enough that you can open up about our personal business, nah fuck that my personal business. I don’t have a FUCKING drinking PROBLEM Carlos and you know that.  

CARLOS TORREZ: 

I never said you did yo- 

LEVI BRYANT: 

Fuck it. 

Levi jumps up from the table knocking some of the items over, Carlos grabs his arm but Levi brushes it away walking off down the street as the scene fades and reopens with Brandon Young standing in his bedroom, looking in the mirror he admires the new tuxedo he just ordered and received today, he looks himself up and down smiling at the results..  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

Yaaaas a bitch looking sharp right now.  

Brandon walks over to the couch and grabs the jacket piece to his suit, as he slides it on he hears a knock on the door, he turns and finds London Carter standing in the doorway.  

Confessional Cam 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

Chile I had to beg London to come, with all the shit going on with him right now, he made it very clear that he didn’t want to be around, especially if other people of the group were going to be present but London and I were close and he knows how important this day was to me. So I’m happy he was able to put his anger aside to be here for me.  

Brandon smiles.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I admire the relationship London and Anthony shared, so having him apart of the wedding was important so thank you London.  

The scene cuts back to Brandon and London, Brandon smiles rushing over to London giving him a hug.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I was going to be so mad at you if you didn’t come bitch.  

LONDON CARTER: 

Chile you knew I was coming, even though I don’t want to be apart of all this shit, I’m here anyway.  

Confessional Cam 

LONDON CARTER: 

Yes I decided to show my face again, but only for an important reason. My boy Brandon Young is marrying his longtime boyfriend Drake so I had to be there to show my support and experience this union between lovers. 

London smiles.  

LONDON CARTER: 

I’m proud of those two to finally tie the knot after all the drama they been through, and I thought me and Anthony had the drama. 

London laughs as the scene cuts back to the two in the bedroom. 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

But where is Anthony? 

LONDON CARTER: 

He’s at the studio so I’m catching up with him later but he’ll be at the wedding too. 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

If you don’t mind me asking, but how are y’all? 

LONDON CARTER: 

We good.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

That’s all I need to hear, I know you wouldn’t lie to me.  

LONDON CARTER: 

That situation didn’t stop us, we’ve been in love for years, and I wasn’t going to leave that man for any reason.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

Well I got your outfit for the wedding in your size and everything, I got it anyway because I knew you wouldn’t let me down. So if you want to go try it on to make sure it fits then go ahead because the big day is in two days and I need to make sure everything is perfect.  

LONDON CARTER:  

I can’t wait to see this little outfit you got, you said it's purple right? 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

Yes, your favorite color.  

LONDON CARTER: 

I still can’t believe you're getting married, I remember when I first met you and to see where you are now is amazing. I don’t mean that in a shady way but take that as a compliment, I’m proud of you yo.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

Stop, you about to make me cry.  

Brandon laughs. 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

Well go ahead and try the suit on and then we can go get ready for this bachelor party, I need to sneak out before Drake gets here because he’ll be mad at what I’m wearing so I’m trying to leave before he gets here. 

LONDON CARTER: 

Boy you are always messing with the man. 

The two laugh as the scene fades to a studio in New York. Drake is shown mixing a track before the scene fades to a confessional cam. 

CONFESSIONAL CAM 

Yo I got about two days before i walk down this aisle and i ain't gon lie man. I'm nervous as shit. 

PRODUCTION: 

Are you having second thoughts? 

Oh nah. it's nothing like that at all. All this shit just new man. Forreal. and it's so much going on. I still ain't seen my son, but I'm bout to get married. I'm tryna stay positive bout all of this forreal. That's why i called my boy Anthony out here forreal. He been in this situation. and our relationships are very similar if you looking at it from a outside perspective. I could really use all the advice I could get, and i don't roll with too many niggas. and I know i can trust my guy not to tell me nothing crazy. 

The scene fades back to the studio. Anthony is shown walking in and dapping him up. 

Yo. what's good my dude. 

ANTHONY KING: 

Shit nothing forreal, just finish adding some shit to this track Carmen sent to me earlier now I’m about to work on some shit for this other girl. But what’s good with you though Mr. Soon to Married, are you ready to be locked down for the rest of your life? 

Anthony laughs. Drake chuckles along with him.  

Man I think I'm ready. forreal. I don't know. B really wants this. and I wanna make him happy. I put this dude through so much man. 

ANTHONY KING: 

But that kind of worries me that you said B wants this and not you too. I know you really feeling this nigga but do you really want to be married to him? Everyone says being married is no different than being in a regular relationship but that shit is a lie man, everything fucking changes.  

Anthony shakes his head.  

ANTHONY KING: 

When I first met London, our shit was on the low like I wouldn’t even be around him in Public but after awhile I really fell for that nigga because out of everyone I came across he rode for me the hardest no matter what happened, he rode for me through the comeups, the fuckups and all the bullshit. So I smarten up and realized that I didn’t want to lose this nigga so I knew I had to make some changes, but all I’m saying is you sure you ready for this yo? 

You know what, outta anybody I ever been with, it ain't never been nothing like this. I'm 23. I'm in my prime. you know how i used to roll man and this nigga got me wanting to change all that. Who else you think bout to ride for a nigga with 4 kids? When i really look back man signs always pointed here. We not perfect forreal. but i don't think it could get any better forreal. so you damn right i'm ready dog. 

ANTHONY KING: 

Well I appreciate you allowing me to be apart of this, and I already know that you two are going to do great, I see y’all lasting. But you gots to chill with the kids though, 4 is enough man.  

Anthony laughs. 

ANTHONY KING: 

I haven’t even had one yet and you're already on your 4th one, that shit is crazy man. But I got to see Mercedes earlier, I didn’t know she was in town but have you guys talked to each other? 

Nah we haven't. but Angelica tryna set something up with that. But nah I'm tryna have a lil army. B betta get ready my daughter need a sister.  

ANTHONY KING: 

Just make sure that’s something y’all sit down and discuss bruh. 

The two laugh as the scene fades and reopens in New York, the empire state building is shown and on the outside is a crowd of people waiting to go inside, valet is shown parking some of the guests cars while others make their way inside of the building. The scene fades inside to one of the rooms where Brandon is shown along with London Carter, Chanel Snow, and President Lawson.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

The day is finally here, I am shaking in my boots.  

LONDON CARTER: 

You can’t back out now, but you look great. 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

Thank you, and thank y’all for coming too.  

PRESIDENT LAWSON: 

No problem.  

CHANEL SNOW:  

Boy you already know I wasn’t going to missed this moment, and to see gay love grow like this amazes me because you already know love don’t last in the gay world.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

As much as this man drives me up the wall, I don’t see myself with anyone else. I love Drake so fucking much it's crazy. 

LONDON CARTER: 

We know boy, so just know you guys are in it for the long run, no matter what issues come your way you have to work through it.  

BRANDON YOUNG:  

Trust me boo, I survived three kids with this man that I had no knowledge of, but that's beside the point, that's my nigga.  

PRESIDENT LAWSON: 

I’ve only met him a few times, but he seems like a good dude and you seem happy boy.  

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I really am.  

The conversations continues as the scene fades to another room inside the Empire State Building, Mercedes is shown walking down the long hallway holding a small baby boy in her arms. She turns the corner and walks toward a door that’s cracked open. She knocks on the door before walking in and Drake is shown standing near the window being wearing his wedding suit, he motions for the fitter to leave the room as he welcomes Mercedes in.  

MERCEDES: 

Hey Drake, don’t you look handsome. 

Mercedes smiles, Drake just stares at the baby in shock. 

MERCEDES: 

I didn’t want to make this awkward or uncomfortable for you or me but I just wanted to come meet with you face to face just to say congratulations and also let you meet your son.  

Mercedes moves closer to Drake, Drake reaches his arms out grabbing his son for the first time.He looks him up and down admiring his work.  

Yo this my lil dude ma? 

MERCEDES: 

His name is Drexel Matthews-Andrews. I want him to be here for the wedding as you can see he is already dressed and his personal Nanny is here to bring him home after, I know we have stuff to talk about which we can at a later time, I just wanted you to meet your son and for him to be here.  

Yo! This my lil nigga!  

Drake hugs his son tightly. He finally looks to Mercedes and smiles. 

Maaaaan. Yo you just made my day ma! And you right. We definitely gotta talk. Ang told me you reached out to her. And I'm glad you did. I know all this is fucked up and I'm sorry. But i got so much love for you girl. i swear! And imma make sure lil Drex or you don't never want for nothing. you can believe that.  

MERCEDES: 

Well I’m good on needing anything for myself or Drexel, but I definitely want you to be around more.  

Before Mercedes could finish, Vivica Young walks into the room. 

VIVICA YOUNG: 

Oh I’m sorry to interrupt, I can come back. 

MERCEDES: 

Oh no you're good, I was about to leave anyway.  

Mercedes turns and kisses Drake on the cheek, she leans over and kisses Drexel and she makes her way out of the room.  

VIVICA YOUNG: 

She was pretty. Hopefully I didn’t interrupt anything, I just wanted to stop by and personally thank you for being in my sons life. I swear he has changed and I mean for the better and I really appreciate that. 

Vivica starts to tear up. 

VIVICA YOUNG: 

Please do not hurt my son Drake, because that little boy. Well he’s not little anymore, but you know what I mean. He’s my everything so I just want to make sure he is taken care of.  

Drake grabs her hand and holds it in his.  

Mama B, I promise you I got him. Imma take good care of him and you too. so if you ever need me just reach out. I love your son very much. and to be honest he's my everything too. i don't have no family left forreal. you see most of the people here is from y’all side. So i can't mess this up. or i won't have nobody. 

VIVICA YOUNG: 

Well I don’t think you mess this up, I always told Brandon that I thought you were a great guy, I just thought you were some type of drug pin because Brandon could never tell me what your job was. So I eventually stopped asking but I can see that you are financially secure and you have an emotional bond with my son and for those reasons I respect you and excited to have you as a son-in-law. I also wanted to apologize for my ex-husbands actions, I felt terrible.  

I'm just worried about B for real. He was real messed up by all this. And i know what that's like. My dad was the same way. 

VIVICA YOUNG: 

Well his Dad is another conversation for another day, there’s a lot of hurt there so him not being here is what's best for Brandon. Listen I want to go and get seated, I just wanted to let you know that I love you and to personally welcome you to the family. Both you and Brandon look very handsome tonight and I wish you guys nothing but love and success. 

Vivica leans over and kisses Drake on the cheek, she turns and heads out of the room as the scene fades and reopens to a packed top floor, people like London Carter, Braelyn Monroe, Brooklyn Carter and that’s just to name a few are shown all sitting in their seats. Drake is shown standing at the end of long walkway with Anthony King standing behind him and the Preacher on the other side.  

Confessional Cam 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I cannot believe I am getting married, this was a day I never thought would happen. Don’t get me wrong I always knew I would be in a relationship but actually be married amazed me and I was so happy with the man I was walking down the aisle with. Throughout all the fights, the drama, the babies, the women, the lies, and just the bullshit we’ve been through me and my Zaddy finally made it to this day and I am so HAPPY. 

Brandon blows a kiss at the camera. 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I love you Zaddy.  

The scene cuts back to the actual wedding, Always and Forever by Heatwave is heard playing as Brandon is shown standing at the other end of the aisle. He walks out wearing his Versace tuxedo he had flown in. Brooklyn Carter who is standing behind him, wraps her arms through his and the two make their way down the aisle, Brandon looks to both sides smiling at all the people that showed up to his wedding. The two finally reach the altar and Brandon stands next to Drake. 

MINISTER:  

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God, and in the presence of family and friends to join together this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony, which is commended of St. Paul to be an honorable estate, instituted of God and therefore is not to be entered into unadvisedly or carelessly, but reverently, joyfully and in the love of God. Into this holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined. 

The preachers pauses. 

MINISTER: 

God loved us, and created us to love others. Our lives find completion only as we love and are loved in return. Together, we can become what we could never be separately. Marriage is of God 

Brandon looks at Drake and smiles. 

MINISTER: 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 

Drake Andrews and Brandon Young come today desiring to be united in this sacred relationship. 

The Preacher looks at Brandon Young and Drake Andrews 

MINISTER: 

Please join hands, I ask you each now, to repeat the marriage vows. 

I Drake, take you Brandon for my wedded husband. To love and cherish, for better or for worse. For richer or poorer, in sickness and health. From this day forward. 

BRANDON YOUNG: 

I Brandon, take you Drake for my wedded husband. To love and cherish, for better or for worse. For Richer or Poorer and in sickness and health, from this day forward. 

The minister waits for Derrick to bring the rings up, he hands the rings to both Brandon and Drake. 

MINISTER: 

As you place this ring on your partner's finger I ask that you repeat these words, This ring is my sacred gift to you, A symbol of my Love, A sign that from this day forward and always, My Love will surround you, With this ring I thee wed. 

Both Drake and Brandon repeat the words as they slide the rings on each other fingers, The minister goes through the remainder of the wedding and finally advising them to lock it in with a kiss. Drake pulls Brandon close to him and the two lock lips for a few seconds before pulling away from each other. 

MINISTER: 

I now prounounce you Mr. Drake and Brandon Andrews.

 

The audience applaud as the two kiss once more, both Drake and Brandon make their way down the aisle holding each others hands smiling and waving to their family and friends that attended. Brandon turns and looks at Drake mouthing he loves him as the scene fades.
