Season One Episode Six
SCENE ONE
It was the morning of Dustin's family BBQ and Amelia, as usual, was up early. She was out jogging from 5am with her ear phones in and dripping sweat.
She had parked a block away from the cleaners and she took out her dress and walked inside out of breath. Meanwhile, Khallip was in the back and he had just opened the store. He had receipts in his hands and he was searching for the clothing that was done so that they would be placed out front. Amelia then rang the bell to get someone's attention.
Amelia- Hello? *As she rang the bell*
Khallip- Don't these people sleep? It's 6 in the morning! *As he walked from the back out to the front*
Amelia saw no one in sight and she turned her back with her hand on her side and the dress in the other hand.
Amelia- Where are they? *As she was about to ring the bell again*
Khallip- No, no, no I'm here! That bell is so annoying!
Amelia- I'm sorry! I know it's early and you don't open until 9 but I need this dress to be dry cleaned and pressed for today. This morning if possible.
Meanwhile, as she spoke Khallip stared and he was so captivated that he literally heard nothing she said. He thought she was extremely gorgeous.
Amelia- I'll pay extra too I just really need it done this morning.
No answer as khallip stared.
Amelia- Hello...? Hello..?
Khallip- *Clears throat* Ugh sure! Yeah sure! *As he panicked* That's not problem at all I mean I'll do it now.
Amelia- Great! How much extra?
Khallip- Extra? *As he laughed* Don't worry about it, it's on the house.
Amelia- Really?
Khallip- Yeah!
Amelia- Wow... But I have to ask... what’s the catch?
Khallip- No catch! Well there is this one thing....
Amelia- I knew it! Let me guess my number? Look I'll pay, I really don't want..
Khallip- Your number? Excuse me miss with all due respect you’re wrong! I mean yeah you are pretty but I was not going to ask for your number. But I guess you're too use to that right? Being hit on especially how you're in a relationship? Well I’m not hitting on you. I just wanted to say don’t be a stranger I'll hook you up and you can refer people to us! *As he smiled and walked to the back*
Amelia became shocked as she slightly smiled. She found that very attractive and she quickly snapped out of it and walked out of the cleaners. Meanwhile, she drove over to Tyrone's house. He was in his room asleep and so was Angelique in his bed lying in his arms. They had the covers over them and he did not have on his shirt. Amelia had her ear phones in and she walked into the house looking for Tyrone. His dad was in the kitchen getting breakfast ready and his mom was in the living room folding laundry. She was humming while listening to old tones from her younger years.
Amelia- Morning Mrs. Phillips. *As she took out her ear phones*
Mrs. Phillips- Amelia? *As she smiled* Still doing the early morning jogs?
Amelia- Yes ma'am! It's the only way I can clear my mind and stay fit.
Mrs. Phillip- Awe sweetie.
Amelia- *Smiles* Especially..... How I'm about to kidnap Tyrone to help me! I came up with this major stunt for the team and I need his manly strength to help me.
Mrs. Phillips- I don't know about manly but... *As she teased* Not sure if he's awake yet but he's in the room.
Amelia- Ok I’ll go and check. *As she saw an old t-shirt of when she was 11* Gasps I remember that! I thought had lost it.
Mrs. Phillips- Not lost at all, I found a few of your things from you were younger. You've really been in our lives long.
Amelia- I know! This was my second home. Still is actually! *As she smiled* I'm going to see if he's wake or I'll just wake him.
Mrs. Phillips- Okay dear.
Amelia then walked down the hall smiling. She was going to sneak up on him and jump on him like she did every morning when they were in junior school. However, as she approached his room and opened the door slowly she became shock when she saw Angelique and Tyrone sleeping together.
Amelia- Ohh, Tye..? *As she smiled* Guess who's he-......*As she saw them* Gasps!
Amelia then immediately turned around and quietly left the room extremely shocked and angry. Tyrone's father and mother were in the hall way walking towards her while she placed in the ear phones one by one.
Mr. Phillips- Oh hey Amelia! Staying for breakfast?
Amelia- I don't think so! *As she rushed pass them*
Mrs. Phillips- What's the matter? Where's Tyrone, is he wake?
Amelia- He's a bit occupied! *As she said in a angry tone*
Amelia then walked outside and begun to jog again. Meanwhile, Dustin was out front cleaning the pool. His dad then walked in with a case of wine placed it inside and came back out.
Mr. Prescott- Hey son? You ready?
Dustin- Yes. *As he caught the last set of leaves* Right in time.
Mrs. Prescott then walked passed with groceries in her hands heading for the kitchen.
Mrs. Prescott- Where are you heading? I really need an extra hand.
Mr. Prescott- Oh honey we'll be back in a jiffy. We're just heading out to pick up a few things. *As he kissed her*
Mrs. Prescott- Okay sweetie hurry back!
Mrs. Prescott then walked straight into the kitchen where Amelia was washing the vegetables for the salad.
Mrs. Prescott- Oh..*As she rested the bags down* I guess I taught you well!
Amelia- *Smiles* You sure did! So, what's next?
Mrs. Prescott- Okay a few of my nieces just got here, so they'll assist you. They can seem a little…. You know… mean or intense so don't take anything they say personal okay? Do what I do, ignore them. God knows sometimes I want to choke them. *As she smiled*
Amelia- Mrs. Prescott, I got this!
Mrs. Prescott- I know you do sweetheart. Besides your Amelia who doesn't love Amelia? *As she walked out of the kitchen*
Amelia then unpacked everything and begun to set up both inside and outside. Dustin's cousins walked in, Delia McKay, Sarah McKay, Francesca DeVero and Dillon McKay.
Delia- Hey...?
Amelia- *As she turned down the stove* Hey! You must be Dustin's cousins.
Sarah- Yeah and who are you..?
Amelia- I'm...
Sarah- Never mind that! Where's Dustin?
Dillon- Yeah I haven't seen him in forever!
Amelia- Ugh... He's not here... *As she slowly turned around* Like I'm wishing you weren't!
Deliah- Anyway, Aunty just told us to come in here and help. So what do you need help with?
Amelia- Right now? Everything! *As she laughed*
Francesca- *Laughs* Good luck with that! *As she walked out texting*
Sarah- I'm out too! *As she walked away*
Amelia and Delia then look at Dillon as he stood there.
Dillon- I guess we should get started.
SCENE TWO
Amelia had went out front to put up the decorations. She saw Sarah and Francesca and she stopped and spoke to them.
Amelia- Would any of you like to help my put up the decorations?
Sarah- Like to? No!
Francesca- Want to?
Sarah Francesca- Definitely no! *As they both laughed*
Amelia then stared and confusingly turned around.
Amelia- *Whispered* Bitches.
Amelia then climbed up on the latter with the banner in her hand. She was able to put the first part up successfully. Then she moved the latter and placed it in the middle and got that up. She was down to her last one. Meanwhile, Dustin and his dad had arrived back home and they pulled up in the drive way a few spaces down from the front gate. Amelia then reached to pin the banner, however, it kept loosing.
Amelia- Darn it! What is wrong with this thing?
She then tipped toed a little more to reach the nail when the latter closed and she begun to lose her balance. Dustin walked in and he saw, as he ran towards her.
Amelia- Woah! Woah....
Dustin- Amelia?
Amelia then fell backwards as Dustin, by half a second, caught her.
Amelia- *Gasps*
Dustin- Are you okay?
Amelia- *She panicked and screamed* Oh my goodness! I thought I was gone!
Dustin- Yeah! If I had not got back in time you were! What were you even doing up there?
Amelia- Putting up the banner.
Dustin- I can see that I mean why you?
Amelia- Because your brat cousins wouldn’t help me do anything!
Dustin- Look that's it, okay? *As he placed her down* No more helping just go up to my room get dressed I'll handle it from here. Okay babe?
Amelia- But I promised your mom.
Dustin- No buts Amelia! I mean it! She'll understand. Besides the party is about to start. So go on upstairs and get all dressed up and pretty for me.
Amelia then gave him a look.
Dustin- Not that you’re not pretty now... You just sorta smell like raw meat.
Amelia- I was touching raw meat all morning sigh. *As she stretched* I can use a nice long bath. Oh my dad...I sorta...kinda...invited him.
Dustin- You say that like it's a bad thing.
Amelia- It isn't however; he's never met any of my boyfriends before. Considering I haven't had one... *As she whispered the last part* but yeah... he's coming.
Dustin- Don't sweat it Amelia. I've got you okay? *As he kissed her* See you in a few.
Amelia then went inside where she saw Mrs. Prescott and her sisters, Dustin's Aunts and uncles. They were high class rich folks with cigars, pearls and expensive jewelry.
Mrs. Prescott- Oh Amelia, you've been such a great help today!
Amelia- Oh it's no problem.
Margret- So this is the one that stole my nephews heart?
Amelia- *As she smiled* He stole mine first, it was only fair that I did the same.
Margret- Oh and modest...! I like her.
Vivica- Yeah and she’s pretty too.
Patty- Yeah very beautiful, for a black girl.
Margret- Oh.. *As they were all shocked that she said that*
Mrs. Prescott- You didn’t just say that.
Amelia- Excuse me?
Patty- What? You’re beautiful and very different from most black girls I’ve met. Thats a compliment if you ask me.
Amelia- Well, no one asked you. And I happen to think being pretty for a “black girl” isn’t a compliment. I am beautiful, not for anything. Beautiful. Period. Now if you’d excuse me…
Vivica- Ooooh she sure told you!
They began to debate and Amelia slowly walked up to Mrs. Prescott and whispered to her.
Patty- Oh hush!
Amelia- I'm going upstairs to get changed. *As she smiled*
Mrs. Prescott- Ok sweetheart.
Bertrum- It’s about time. *As he said it to Patty’s face*
Amelia went upstairs and Mrs. Prescott got up.
Mrs. Prescott- Excuse me for a minute.
Margret- Okay.
Patty- I'm not saying they aren’t beautiful. She’s just even more well put together. And I admire it.
Amelia was in the bathroom she turned on the shower and begun to take off her clothing. Meanwhile, people started to arrive, the entire basketball team had arrived except Tyrone. They all wore black knee high shorts and a white shirt. Dustin was at the entrance of his house when the team came in and they began to laugh and greet Dustin.
Jordan- Dustin my man!
Whole team- Ayyyyyeeeee..!*As they laughed ecstatically*
Dustin- You guys are crazy as hell! *As his aunts looked at him*
Mason- Sorry we were late. Somebody just didn't know how to keep their butt closed! *As he looked at Vincent*
Vincent- I told you it was those chili fries..
Mason- Yeah so we had to stop to air out the car.
Jayme- But we're here now! So let's get it cracking.
Vincent- Where the hunnies at?
The ladies from the cheerleading squad then walked in. They had on cute cocktail dresses high heels and little clutch purses. It was Monica, Trish, Brittany, Megan and Emily. They walked in towards the guys and Megan walked up to Jayme and kissed him.
Basketball team- Ladies? *As they smiled*
Megan- Hey babe.
Jayme- You looking mighty fly. *As they both laughed*
Monica- Talking about us?
Mason- You know I stay talking about you. *As he kissed her check*
They were all laughing and just conversing when Jennifer walked in. She looked extremely gorgeous. She had gotten a new hairdo and outfit. She then walked up to Dustin with no recognition of Mason. She kept humble, with no smile, no facial expression or anything.
Jennifer- Dustin?
Dustin- Hey Jennifer you made it. *As he hugged her*
Jennifer- Yes but I won't be long. Where can I find Amelia?
Mason- Jen? *As he stared at her*
Jennifer- Mas... *As she stared back with hurt in her face*
She kept quiet, humbly, in deep thought and showed no expression period. There was then an awkward silence and everyone just kept still and quiet Monica was next Mason and she tried her best not to look at Jennifer. Dustin then quickly tried to break the ice as he answered Jennifer while stuttering a little because he was panicking.
Dustin- Ugh, sh-she's up stairs getting dressed. You can go on up if you like.
Jennifer- Thanks. *She smirked at them and walked away*
Monica- You know what? I’ll come with.
Trish- Yeah me too, because if I stand on my feet any longer these heels are coming off.
The ladies then followed Jennifer upstairs. After they left Mason then turned to the guys as he relaxed.
Mason- Yo, I seriously don't understand women.
Carter- And you never will.
Tyrone then walked by the door with Angelique fully dressed. Immediately he snuck up on them by making a joke.
Tyrone- *As he started a song* He was just so flyyyyyyy I had to do it! I said he...
Vincent- What he do? *As he rapped back*
Tyrone- Just...
Dustin- *As he began to beat the wall* What he do?
Vincent- Mess it up! Mess it up! *As they all rapped at the same time*
Tyrone- Walked right
Mason- In so..
Everybody- Fly my nigga! He shooting hoops my nigga! *As everyone said Nigga expect Dustin because he was white*
Tyrone- And ball is my life and Imma shoot til I die.
As they began to rap and laugh with a silly jingle they made up. They all then dapped him with their male hand shake.
Dustin- What's good?
Tyrone- You know how that goes.
Angelique- Hey fellas.
Carter- Hey beautiful.
Dustin- You know if you like....the ladies are upstairs.
Angelique- *Smile* As good as that offer sounds I'm going to have to pass.
Dustin- Well the lady has spoken.
Mrs. Prescott then walked pass with a basket of rolls in her hands.
Mrs. Prescott- Tyrone, you're looking mighty sharp. *As she smiled*
Tyrone- *As he took it to his head* Well you know..this IS Tye. *As he laughed* Thanks Mrs. Pres.
Mrs. Prescott- Imagine how sharp you guys would look helping me serve food.
Basketball team- Oh yeah… Mrs. Prescott.
Mrs. Prescott- Mmmhmm, see you boys in a minute.
Vincent- *As he flirted then looked back at Dustin teasing* Oh let me get that for you would ya...?
Mrs. Prescott- Oh how sweet. *As she gave it to him then walked away*
Meanwhile, the ladies were up stairs and Amelia had on a little make up while Jennifer was was curling her hair, Monica and Megan were sitting on the bed and Trish and Emily were in the mirror.
Amelia- I don't know why you're doing this! I look ok with my hair how it was.
Jennifer- And I won't debate, your absolutely right. However, it doesn't kill you to take your long black hair out of this stupid bun and let it hang and you have full lips put some pink on it and your eyelashes are curly, use more bold mascara for more volume! You don't need any hardcore make up just simple and cute. *As she turned Amelia around to face the mirror*
Amelia- Same thing I told April. *As she became astonished*
Jennifer- You like? *As she smiled*
Amelia- I love!
Monica- Damn girl you got skills.
Jennifer- Thanks! I major in fashion. Give me a pair of scissors a makeup kit and I can make you look like a star.
Emily- You got some raw talent.
Jennifer- I don't like to brag.. *She teased*
Amelia then got up and took off the robe to put on her dress. Monica was at the window and she was looking on the outside.
Monica- People are arriving, a lot of cars are on the lawn.
Jennifer- He did say a family BBQ right?
Amelia- Yeah I mean, they do have a lot of family. Rich stuck up family. *As she turned around*
Monica- What do you mean?
Amelia- Nothing.
Jennifer- *As she sat on the bed* Okay Amelia spill!
Amelia- Sigh, this lady downstairs told me that I was pretty... for a black girl.
Monica, Trish, Emily, Jennifer- WHAT?
Jennifer- I would cut her.
Amelia- Yeah! Then says its a compliment. How’s that even close to a compliment?
Monica- That’s just racist!
Amelia- Right? And then I thought to myself… These are the people I’m going to have in my life if Dustin and I work out. And I don’t know if I can handle that. Especially with out exploding on them.
Jennifer- First of all, you are are beautiful period! You know sometimes I even forget we’re all a different color. Because that doesn’t matter.
Amelia- Same, until people like her waslse up in here and make it be known that we are INFACT different. *As she got sad* I mean he’s white and I’m... *As she was interrupted*
Monica- DON'T EVEN FINISH THAT SENTENCE!
Amelia- Sigh... I really like him. Maybe even love him and aside from his mom and dad I don't think his family likes me.
Trish- What's not to like? Look I may not be as close to you as Tye or Jen or even Mason but from what I can see you are a really good person. And beauty is skin deep. It’s what’s inside that matters. I don’t care how beautiful someone is if they aren’t a good person they are ugly to me! So who cares? You don’t have to be a white girl to feel beautiful! Or to be beautiful.
Emily- Yea Amelia don't sweat it.
Jennifer- You hold up that beautiful head of yours and you show them that black girl magic!
Monica- Yeah don’t let his stuck up family get to you.
Brittany- Besides we're cheerleaders who can act more stuck up than us? *As she teased*
Jennifer- And let me tell you, if they give you any problems I’ll knock them out quick. *As she snapped her fingers*
Amelia- *As she smiled* You guys really mean that?
Monica- Hell yeah! We're a family too not just a team and family comes first.
Amelia- *As she pushed out of bottom lips like a baby* Don't make me cry!
They all laughed and hugged her.
Megan- Wait is this what I think it is? *As she held up a pair or lace underwear*
Monica- Ohhhhh, clearly they're yours or I have to take off these earrings to fight somebody.
Amelia- *Laughs* They're mines! *As she yanked it out of Megan’s hands*
Jennifer- So, I'm you're Best Friend and you did not tell me you and Dustin…. You know
Amelia- What? ….Wait, wait, wait, okay he and I did not smash!
Monica- Then you fucked? Sexed? Made love...? What?
Amelia- Moniiiicaaaa? *As she felt embarrassed* Nothing! We did nothing! I slept here a night before and when I packed my bag well I guess I forgot to pack that. Trust me Jen if he and I had smashed I'd be glowing! *As she got her dress*
Trish- Yeah, you still have that dull look, so you two didn't do anything. *As everyone stared at her* What? If you hooked up with that, you'd be glowing, just saying.
Megan- So let me get this straight! You slept here? No sex? You've been dating him for months...no sex? You're always with him alone and he's sexy as ever... and no sex?
Amelia- Yea! That's right!
Everyone- Are you gay?
Amelia- What? No! No, no sigh no!
Jennifer- A lesbian?
Amelia- No!
Jennifer- You secretly have a thing for girls?
Amelia- OMG! Jen! Stop! It's none of that!
Jennifer- Then what is it?
Amelia- I don't know, I just, we just, I'm just… Sigh it's complicated! *As she started to put on her dress*
Emily- Complicated? What's complicated, is me trying to wrap my head around this!
Amelia- We never talked about it, he never brought it up, I never brought it up and I never will, I just want it to be special and when it happens it happens. Now zip me up please.
Monica then zipped her up while Amelia was staring outside. She then saw Angelique and while Monica was zipping her up she walked closer to the window.
Amelia- Is that who I think it?
All the girls then got up and walked towards the window.
Jennifer- Who?
Trish- Who?
Monica- Who Angelique?
Amelia- Yeah what the hell is she doing here?
Monica- Her and Tye pulled up right after us. Dustin told us you were upstairs... I wonder why she didn't come.
Amelia- Because she knows exactly what she's doing! She knows we aren’t friends and that I’ll soon call her out on what and who she really is!
Jennifer- Okay one step at a time.. What are you talking about?
Monica- Yeah slow down!
Amelia- Nothing... Let's just go okay. *As she sat down and placed on her heels*
Meanwhile, Mr. Delerentez had just arrived and he walked into the yard where Dustin's family were talking amongst each other and laughing, grilling and mingling. He stood there a bit quarry. He then placed one hand in his pocket and the other he used to look at the time. Dustin had walked out he was dressed really nicely. He had on a linen button down top and a kaki short pants with very expensive dress shoes. He looked very handsome. He had no idea how Amelia's dad looked, however, his dad did.
Dustin- Dad? Amelia invited her dad...but I don't..
Mr. Prescott- Hey Trevor Delerentez? *As he cut off Dustin*
Dustin- Well that was easy.
Mr. Delerentez- Scotty?
Dustin then walked towards Mr. Delerentez and greeted him.
Dustin- Mr. Delerentez?
Mr. Delerentez- You must be Dustin.
Dustin- *Smiles* Yes sir! Amelia's upstairs getting dressed.
Mr. Delerentez- *As they walked* Oh I'm not worried about her whereabouts. However, you on the other hand, you and I need to have a long talk.
Dustin- *As he became nerves* Ugh, I'm fine with that.
Mr. Delerentez- Right after I hail an old friend of mine. *As he looked up at Dustin's dad* Scottie my man! *As he shouted with excitement*
Mr. Prescott- You remembered! *As they did their man hand shake* I knew it, the minute your daughter walked in, I saw Amy all over. Her smile, her laugh, her joyful spirit..I just knew it.
Mr. Delerentez- Well you know...*As he smiled*
Mr. Prescott- Oh my condolences. *As he hugged him*
Mr. Delerentez- Thank you. It’s be rough but you know we’re hanging on.
Mr. Prescott- Yeah, I can only imagine! But you know what? If you need anything I'm here for you and her. We were like family then and you still are now.
Mr. Delerentez- Scottie I can't tell you how much that means to me. You're a great man! *As they both smiled* So.. Dustin about that talk! *As he placed his hands on Dustin's should and smiled while shaking it roughly*
Dustin- *Nervously said* Yeah..about that talk....
SCENE THREE
The ladies were on their way down stairs, one by one they all looked amazing and guys walked out and they were all matching and they looked amazing. Mr. and Mrs. Prescott walked in and was ecstatic
Mrs. Prescott- I'm- I'm astonished! You all look marvelous!
Mr. Prescott- I have to agree. Jordan you clean up very well. *As he roughly patted his chest*
Everyone then laughed and Amelia walked out looking for Dustin.
Jennifer- Where is she going?
Mr. Prescott- Her dad's here so I guess to look for him.
Mrs. Prescott- He is? Well show me! I have to meet him.*As they walked away*
Jordan- Now it's time to get this party started.
Mrs. Prescott- Oh I almost forgot! Boys theres some finger food on the trays in the kitchen I need you to serve until the steaks are ready.
Mason- Ok got it. *As they all headed to the kitchen*
Meanwhile, Amelia was walking around in search of Dustin and her dad. She finally saw them and from a distance it looked like he was yelling at him and knotting his fingering in anger.
Amelia- No, no, no...*As she marched towards them*
Mr. Delerentez- I'm telling you! When he's on the court he shines. It's jus thim, that ball and that basket. It's magical I'll you.
Amelia- Dad! Dad? You're not scaring him are you?
Suddenly, she saw them both laughing with a beer in their hands and her dad sleeves were pulled up. She then gave a soft smile of relief.
Amelia- You're laughing, you both are drinking beer, dad your sleeves are rolled up. Oh my you actually like Dustin.
Mr. Delerentez- *Laughs* He's a good kid, I can honestly say I see what you see in him.
Amelia- *Laughs* Ugh, you don't understand the relief to hear that.
Dustin- Thanks Mr. Delerentez, I promise you I will take good care of her. Sigh she means the world to me. *As he looked at her*
Amelia- Aaaawe. *As she hugged him*
Mr. Delerentez- Yeah, she's my little princess. And I’m trusting you with my daughter. Don't make me regret it.
Mr and Mrs. Prescott then walked up to them smiling and they both had a glass of wine in their hands.
Mrs. Prescott- Mr. Delerentez? It's so nice to meet you I am Dustin's mom. *As she hugged him*
Mr. Delerentez- *As he smiled* The pleasure is all mine. This house is really beautiful by the way.
Mrs. Prescott- Why thank you. Amelia has told us so much about you and I'm just happy to have the both of you here.
Mr. Prescott- *Laughs* Yeah, hey D what do you say we go grill up some Shish Kabobs like old times.
Mr. Delerentez- With the secret ingredient?
Mr. Prescott- Dipped in wine? Wouldn't be the same without that.
Mr. Delerentez- Let’s do it! *As they walked away*
Dustin- Oh and dad your old pal Bill is here he's looking for you. *As he teased and sounded very real*
Mr. Prescott then paused in shock wondering who invited him and Dustin couldnt keep a straight face after seeing his dad's fearful face and begun to laugh.
Dustin- Dad, I'm kidding! Oh my god your face was priceless! Wish I caught that on camera!
Mrs. Prescott- Oh leave your father alone! You know Bill is actually here and in the living room waiting on him. *As she teased too*
Mr. Prescott- You two are definitely cut from the same cloth! *As he and laughed and walked away with Mr. Delerentez* Now if you would excuse us!
Amelia then pulled Dustin to the side and begun to kiss him. She had her hand around his neck and he had his hand around her waist.
Dustin- What was that for?
Amelia- Thank you! For whatever it was you did. *As she smiled* I don’t know what you did or how you did it just thank you. *As she continued to kiss him*
Dustin- *As he lifted her up* Anything for you..
Meanwhile, Tyrone and Angelique were in house hanging out with the team. They were serving food and came inside to refill the trays. Dustin's grandma was there too.
Angelique- Those shrimps are life.
Tyrone- *Laughs* I know! Last round and we can relax and have some fun.
Mason- I'm feeling the pool is anybody else feeling the pool?
Everyone- Yeah!
Mason- Alright!
Angelique- Then I can have you too myself. *As her phone rings* I've got to take this. Be right back.
Tyrone- No problem, take your time.
Angelique then left the room on her phone and Amelia walked in towards everyone smiling.
Tyrone- Melia? *As he smiled and rushed towards her*
Amelia- Tye! *As he hugged her and she started laughing*
Tyrone then held her tight while Amelia tried to push away and he began to tickle her repeatedly. She then began to laugh and they began to be play around like kids.
Amelia got his hand and pinned them against his back. It was a trick he taught her.
Amelia- Don't, okay? I'm angry with you!
Tyrone- Why? What did I do?
No answer
Tyrone- You're not going to tell me?
Amelia- Tye, you lied to me!
Tyrone- About what Melia? Come on!
Amelia- About you and Angelique!
Tyrone- What are you talking about?
Grandma Prescott- Awe, you two look so cute together. *As she smiled*
Amelia then nervously pulled away from Tyrone and placed her hair behind her ear quickly and retorted.
Amelia- Ugh, cute? We're not dating! He's just a big pain in the butt *She mumbled* but we're not together. At all. In fact, I'm Dustin's girlfriend.
Grandma Prescott- Oh really? Nice to meet you! *As she smiled*
Tyrone then saw Angelique on her phone angry and she looked like she was about to cry. He then gave recognition and left.
Tyrone- Oh ugh, I'll be right back...
Amelia- Nice to meet you too. *As she hugged Dustin's grandma*
Dustin then walked into the room and snuck up behind Amelia and begun to kiss her neck.
Dustin- Guess who?
Amelia- *Laughs* Sam Heughan?
Dustin- *Laughs* Nope but close. Your boyfriend.
Amelia- I don’t know about close but… *As she teased*
Dustin- *As he tickled her* Oh yeah?
Amelia- Hahaha, I’m kidding. I’m kidding.
Dustin- Nana this is my girlfriend Amelia, Amelia this is my nana.
Grandma Prescott, Amelia- Oh we met already! *They said at the same time*
Amelia- Yeah, we beat you to it.
Dustin- *Smiles* Good. She’s great! I really care about her and I’m not letting her go. *As he looked at Amelia*
Amelia- *As she smiled and turned towards him* And I’m not going anywhere. *As she kissed his lips gently with her eyes closed*
Grandma Prescott- *Smiles while holding her chest* Awe you two remind me of a couple waaaay back in the day. Everything was perfect. They were young and in love and their future was bright. Nothing or no one could have came between them. *As everyone came into the house they began to stop to listen to Grandma Prescott's story* They actually didn't have it easy… *As she paused* There were family members that tried to drive them apart *As Dustin's cousins looked at each other in shame then up at Amelia* there was high school when every girl expected him to be with the head cheerleader or something. There was also racial discrimination. He was black and she was white. But aside from that they were strong, they held on, it's like when something is destine to be, no one and I mean no one can come between that. No one! *She emphasized and Amelia looked up at Dustin and smiled*
Mr. Delerentez then walked by the front door with a beer in his hands and Mr. Prescott was there too.
Mr. Delerentez- What's going on in there?
Mr. Prescott- *Smiles* Oh it's nana, my mom she's probably telling them a story about her love life as a teenager.
Mr. Delerentez- Oh yeah? This should be interesting.
Mr. Prescott- We can go in and listen if you'd like.
They then walked in and Grandma Prescott was still talking and she had everyone's attention.
Grandma Prescott- But if there is one thing I learnt about relationships, it's that you should never allow the first few weeks or months to determine your fate, or where you'll end up. At the beginning of every relationship, everyone, is always perfect, it's that infatuation phase where you can't get enough of each other, when you want to be around them 24/7 *As Monica looked at Mason and held his hand while smiling* It's when your phone rings and you get excited because you know and you want it to be them. It's when you make plans around your relationship. You check in with them before making plans with anyone else. I know it sounds all good but sometimes it’s not all good. Sometimes it can toxic and you can fight and argue and say things you probably don’t mean. Sometimes you get too use to someone that you start to take them for granted. You stop appreciating them. This stage can either make or break your relationship. Those two were together for 65 years, and they went through it all. Everything you can think of they went through it and they survived it. But you see they grew up in an era where if something's broken, they fix it, but you *As she paused and looked around and examined every one* you, *As she shook her finger at them* you all live in a world where if something's broken you throw it away. *Amelia then leaned her head on Dustin's shoulder and he kissed her forehead and a tear rolled down her eye. Her dad then walked next to her and placed his hand on the top of her's and smiled* Learn to fix things, learn to appreciate, learn to stand strong and learn to fight for each other rather than fight each other. Learn that yes you only have one life to live but if this is how it feels to love the wrong person imagine how much better it will be when you love the right one. *As she paused* Well you know me although Mr. Prescott was my best friend he was the sweetest thing to me I mean who else would let his girlfriend beat him in a boxing match in the front of hundreds of people, I mean unless he just really couldn't fight. *As everyone laughed* Just be open minded this is life, things will turn and change just in a blink of an eye. So run along mix and mingle don't mind me I'm just an old lady what do I know? *She modestly said with a smile*
Mr. Prescott- You're a very "wise" old lady. *As he said with a smile and every agreed*
Amelia then turned to Dustin and smiled, held on to his tie and kissed him.
Amelia- Now what were you saying?
Dustin- *Smiled* Promise me something.
Amelia- Anything! *As she placed her hand around his neck*
Dustin- Promise me that when things are broken we fix it and not throw them away.
Amelia- With all my heart!
SCENE FOUR
Meanwhile, Angelique was on her phone on the outside. She was crying and shouting at her boyfriend Malique.
Angelique- I'm so sick and tired of this every day! I'm tired, you want to leave? Fine! Just go! Just be with whoever that other girl is! .....Of course there has to be another girl Malique! You’re letting go after all these months? ....You’re afraid? Well I'm afraid too, but I love you.
Tyrone- *As he walked behind her* Are you okay?
Angelique- *As she put one finger on her lip telling Tye to be quiet* I'm tired of crying over you and you just let go! *As a tear fell down her face* You just let go!
Tyrone- Angelique? You don't deserve this! You deserve better!
Malique then heard Tyrone's voice and he began to yell at Angelique and threaten her.
Angelique- It's nobody! Calm down! Ba-baby, calm down it's just a friend! In that case I'm not coming back! You say you love me how can you say you're going to kill me?
Tyrone- What did that punk just say? *As he became angry* Yo give me that phone!
Angelique- No, no! *As she stepped back*
Tyrone- I'm not playing Ange! *As he yanked it from her* Aye yo, let me holla at you real quick! You don't dare threaten Ange you hear?... Look fool you clearly don't know what you got! She's amazing! How you gonna take it upon yourself to threaten her?...... You must be out your god damn mind! Look she's done with you! ....What you mean this ain't my business?
Angelique- *As she cried* Tye stop! You don't know what you're getting your self into!
Tyrone- What's Ange's business is mine! Straight up! Awe so you gone threaten me to? We’ll see! You’re a pussy that’s what you are!*As he hung up*
Angelique- Why'd you do that?
Tyrone- Ange..
Angelique- You don't know who he is, if he says he's coming here he'll come!
Tyrone- As long as you’re with me you're safe! *As he wiped the tears from her eyes*
Angelique-*As she hugged him* Oh Tye…
Slowly Tyrone leaned in and so did Angelique and they began to kiss. Tyrone then held her by her neck gently as she placed her hand around his waist. They continued to kiss none stop and got in closer and closer. On the other hand, Amelia and Dustin were walking towards the back where Tyrone and Angelique were. He had his hand around Amelia and she had her hand around him and they were talking and laughing. Immediately, Amelia and Dustin saw Angelique and Tyrone kissing. In shock, she stepped away from Dustin and placed her hand over her mouth.
Amelia- *Gasps*
Tyrone- *As he quickly pulled away* Amelia?
Amelia- You're a liar! You are a gaddamn liar! *As she swiftly walked inside*
Tyrone- Ugh! Darn it! Amelia? I'll be right back! *As he ran behind her*
Angelique- What just happened?
Dustin- Oh my girlfriend, being the drama queen as usual. *He said with a smile but Angelique's face was straight*
Tyrone- Amelia? Stop wait let me explain!
Amelia- No save it! Okay Tye you're a liar and phony and I don't ever want to talk to you again!
Tyrone- Please at least give me the benefit of the doubt! *As they stopped in to the living room*
Angelique- *As she and Dustin walked him* Why is she upset anyway? You're just friends aren't you?
Amelia- Stay out of this, okay?
Angelique- *As she folded her arms* Unless...
Tyrone- Ange..please!
Amelia- Unless what?
Angelique- She has a thing for you! *As she laughed*
Dustin- *As he became shocked* Okay you two are getting pretty dangerous, I think this should stop.
Amelia- *As she gave an evil look* No, no, no… Let her finish I want to hear this!
Angelique- From day one I came here you saw me as nothing but a threat to you and Tyrone!
Amelia- *As she laughed* Oh really?
Angelique- Yeah! But guess what boo, you can't have your cake and eat it too!
Amelia- Are you done?
Tyrone- Please ladies.
Dustin- Yeah let's be mature and civilized please.
Amelia- Oh imma be mature and civilized. In fact, forget whether or not you're done it's your turn to listen to me you bitch! I never liked you from I first met you! I always knew there was something off about you! You were just always sneaky and conniving! And the only reason we tolerated you is because nobody else wanted to be your friend! Not even Tyrone, I told him let’s be nice to her she doesn’t have any friends and then I saw why exactly you didn’t have friends. When we were kids and you wrote that letter to Tyrone!
Tyrone- Wait, that was you?
Angelique- *As she looked away*
Amelia- Oh I'm not done yet, Tye and I were best friends, practically family before you came into to the picture and tried to separate us, what because you hated to see how happy I made him or because you were jealous? Want to know why I'm angry that you two kiss? Tye tell her!
Tyrone- Amelia, let's not…
Amelia- Tell her!
Tyrone- Sigh, Amelia?
Amelia- We made a deal that regardless to whomever Tye dates I'll respect it but it could not be her! It could NEVER be her! After what she put in that letter!
Dustin- What letter? What deal? What are you talking about?
Amelia then stared at Tyrone in anger. She was extremely close to crying.
Amelia- I guess our friendship didn't mean a thing to you right? After all the shit we've been through, our families have been through, you couldn't hold up our deal could you?
Tyrone looked away in shame. He was at a loss for words and Amelia quickly retorted.
Amelia- This self-centered, evil and conniving bitch wrote a letter to Tyrone that my mom was scheming on my dad with Tye's father and she nearly caused two marriages!
Angelique- I was 8! *As she cried*
Amelia- I don't care Angelique! *She shouted to the top of he lungs* I really don't give a shit! Do you know what you did to my family? My mom and dad argued every day! They couldn’t agree on anything! They had trust issues up until she died! They disagreed on practically EVERYTHING! She felt as if he was against her and he just didn't care! All because you lied!
Angelique- What if it wasn't a lie?
Amelia- *As she stopped for a second* Excuse me?
Tyrone- *As he turned his back biting his lips in fear pacing the floor wishing Angelique didn’t say that*
Angelique- I might have been a kid! But I wasn't stupid!
Amelia- So you're trying to say my mom was...
Angelique- Screwing another man?
Tyrone- Angelique shut up!
Amelia tried to collect herself but her anger had already gotten the best of her and she ran towards Angelique and begun to choke her.
Amelia- How dare you talk about my dead mom like that? *She shouted while choking Angelique*
Dustin and Tyrone then tried to pull them apart but Amelia was holding on tightly and Angelique was trying to swing at her but the boys were blocking them. People then started to come in including Dustin's cousins, his mom and dad and Amelia's dad.
Angelique- Let me go! Let! Me! Go!
Dustin- Stop! *As he held Amelia and Tyrone had Angelique*
Tyrone- *He became frustrated and his eyes became really red as he began to cry* It's the truth!
Amelia- What? *As she was breathing in deeply*
Tyrone- It's the truth Amelia! And everybody knows it!
Amelia- Everybody including you right? *As she flipped her hair back and wiped her face*
Mrs. Prescott- What's going on in here?
Amelia- Answer me!
Sarah- Dus sure knows how to pick them. *As she smirked*
Francesca- I'll say. *As they both laughed*
Tyrone- Yes! *As tears rolled down his eyes*
Amelia- And you're supposed to be my best FREAKING friend? Right? So all of you knew? *As Mason and Jennifer shook their heads implying yes* Oh, god! *As she cried* So I was the joke. *As she shook her head* *As she gasped with a sarcastic Laugh* I’m the joke? *As no one answered here they were all too ashamed that they didn’t tell her* Jokes on me huh?
Tyrone- Sigh Amelia, let's just..*As he lend out his hand to touch her*
Amelia- DON’T! *As she said angrily while yanking away from him and taking a deep breath before she retaliated* Don’t touch me! Don't touch me okay? I'm done with you! I don't want to see you, don't come at my house, Don’t call my phone, stay out my sight, stay out of my life! This friendship is over! *As she looked at Mason and Jennifer* All of you. *She then turned and saw everyone standing behind her* I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause anything I'm just..*As she saw her dad she began to cry and held her mouth* I'm sorry! *She said with her mouth covered and ran out*
Dustin- Amelia wait!
Mr. Delerentez- Just give her space let me talk to her.
Dustin- I can’t let her leave like this.
Mrs. Prescott- Dustin? Her father has spoken. You're not going anywhere son. I'm sorry.
Dustin- But mom...
Mrs. Prescott- Now I've spoken! So now just, just clear out. *As she walked away and left Dustin standing there angry*
Angelique- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!
Tyrone- Sure you didn't!
Angelique- I actually didn't! I got angry it slipped!
Tyrone- Slipped? People slip on wet floors but this? You just took things to whole other level! She really didn't need to find out like that! *As he turned his back*
Angelique- Don't, don't do that! *As she held her head down in shame* Don't you turn your back on me.
Tyrone- *As he turned to face her with anger and sadness in her eyes* I lost my Best Friend...
Angelique- And I'm SOR-RY!
Tyrone- Sorry won't fix this... not this time Ange.
SCENE FIVE
Meanwhile, Amelia was at home infuriated. She began to throw tantrums, started shouting, screaming and begun break things up, she was just in a mess.
Amelia- I hate it when people keep things from me! Especially my best friend! How dare he keep something like that from me? How dare he?
Mr. Delerentez- *As he tried to stop Amelia* I told him to keep it from you!
Amelia- What did you just say?
Mr. Delerentez- Your mom and I wasn't happy okay? She was seeing another man and she begged me to keep it from you.
Amelia- No, no, no! *As she shucked her head while crying* I'm not listening! Lalalalala...*As she covered her ears*
Mr. Delerentez- It's the truth! Amelia? Listen!
Amelia- So what about the family vacations and the times I saw you flirting and getting along perfectly and when I come home late I'd....*As she paused* You to we're still...
Mr. Delerentez- Yes those were cover ups, of course we still loved each other. But things were changing something was broken. Amelia you were young you wouldn't understand. Maybe I just wasn't a good enough man for her I was always working, always busy. When she was in the mood I'd tell her I'm tired. When she had a long day at work and wanted to talk to me instead of me rubbing her feet and hearing her stories I'd tell her no, not now later! *As he began to cry* I allowed another man to my job; what I took for granted, it wasn't the money the fancy house or car she wanted, it was the little things like my attention and my affection. I push my wife away into another man’s arms. And she told me she would stay and do couples therapy and stop the affair if I promised not to tell you! So I made that promise! I made your friends promise too! For her. For my wife. I made your friends keep a secret from you so that I could keep my wife. *As he slide down on the floor sitting* Who I shouldn’t have loss in the first place and this family together.
Amelia- *As she was confused and crying* Was it with Tyrone’s father?
Mr. Derlerentez- No, of course not! That part she got wrong! That part really caused a lot of problems back then! When his wife was going to leave him and take Tyrone! You may not remember when they were moving and you two were litte... It was his father’s best friend. Not His dad. It was such a huge thing back then that when it finally blew over and you were older and deserved to know the truth, bringing it up wouldn’t have made sense!
Amelia-I deserved to know.
Mr. Delerentez- Yeah you did, but look how amazing and happy your life was when you didn't know. Don't, don't throw away you and Tyrone's friendship just because we begged him to keep it from you.
Amelia- The number one thing that can destroy a friendship is secrets. When you keep things from each other that's not a friendship and Tyrone and I are no longer friends.
Mr. Delerentez- Amelia please just..
Amelia- *As she shouted* Dad stop! Stop! Just stop okay? Keep from me that my outfit looked horrible or my hair was a mess. Keep from me that I have something in my teeth. Keep from me gossip! But don't you dare keep things like this from me! I'm never talking to him again. I'm going to bed dad! * *As she walked away then slammed her door *
Meanwhile, the party was over and the basketball team and some of the cheerleaders were helping them clean up.
Trish- Wow? What a disaster.
Monica- Yeah poor Melia. That must have hurt her. *As they all looked at Tye*
Tyrone- What? I couldn't tell her, it wasn't my place to and this was brought to my attention not to say anything from I was a kid! And when they made up and fixed their marriage I thought that it was now irrelevant.
Monica- Oh shut up!
Mason then walked up behind Monica and raised the back of her hair and kissed her neck coming straight around until they were facing each other.
Mason- You seem a bit intense. Let me fix that for you. *As he flirted*
Monica- *As she bit her lips and smiled* What are we waiting for?
They both then started smile and then that led into a kiss. Mrs. Prescott then walked in. She looked a bit upset but she kept her cool.
Mrs. Prescott- You know what? I'll handle it from here thank you so much for coming I really appreciate the help from you all. But I'll take it from here. *As she placed her hand on her waist* Wait, wait...can someone please tell me where I can find my son?
Emily- He's on the balcony.
Mrs. Prescott- Thank you sweet heart.
Mrs. Prescott then walked out on to the balcony and saw Dustin. He was staring outside with both hands on the balcony and he was in deep thought.
Mrs. Prescott- Dustin? Sweetheart... I know you wanted to go but.
Dustin- But what mom? But my mom still treats me like a kid? Mom I'm seventeen, my girlfriend needed someone to talk to and you forbid me no to go? And of course I couldn't just disobey you front of nana and the whole family by still running out.
Mrs. Prescott- That had nothing to do with you Dust, she needed her father not her boyfriend. Trust me you'll appreciate this in the long run.
Dustin- *As he stared at her angrily* Too bad the long run isn't now. *As he walked away*
Mrs. Prescott- *As she turned her back to face to the balcony* Sigh.
Mr. Prescott then walked out towards her and he placed his arms around her.
Mrs. Prescott- Now he hates me.
Mr. Prescott- He doesn't hate you! He could never hate. It's just that when he felt that urge to be there for Amelia, well, you blew him off in front of everyone including his friends.
Mrs. Prescott- I was just trying to be a good mother you know? It wasn't his place to comfort her.
Mr. Prescott- I know, I know. *As he hugged her* Sigh, she probably would have said something she didn’t mean to him any way. You did the right thing by not letting him go.
Mrs. Prescott- I only wish he could have seen that.
Mr. Prescott then kissed her and everyone had left and Dustin had went up to his room and Amelia was in her bed sleeping.
Mason and Monica were at his house and his room making love.
Jennifer on the other hand was at home taking a shower staring into deep thought.
