~KYLIE’S RESIDENT~
Tamara dressed in a long beautiful flimsy dress made of lycral, she tunes on the music, she held a glass cup of red of wine as she listens to music, everywhere in kylie’s house was messed up, which was what kylie hate most, she heard the car alarm from the gate

TAMARA
Oh gosh, kylie is home, i gotta pack everything in order
Tamara rushed the tidiness of the viccinity, making it so clean, kylie came in with a sad look she never noticed anything wrong

TAMARA
Hey babe, you look so pale what’s wrong?

KYLIE
(sadly) Could you believe tamara, i came across jada at the store

TAMARA
You mean your ex’s sister?

KYLIE
Yeah, she looked at me in dissappointment

TAMARA
Gosh kylie, snap it out, she’s still little for all those stuffs, but one thing, she won’t tell reign

KYLIE
(I stood up and placed my finger on my fore head) tamara, it’s all my fault i broke up with reign

TAMARA
C’mon girl, you did the right thing, (tamara hands over kylie a cup of wine)

KYLIE
Not in mood

JADA
Pleeeasse cleo, it’s a favour

CLEO

JADA

CLEO
Ok promise, i’ll try (Jada hugs cleo)

JADA
Thank you cleo

~ALLENS’ RESIDENCE~
Jada and cleo got home, jada moved up the stairs, she puts her hands on the iron embarkation on the stairs, she saw reign, he deeped his hands into his trousers, he was facing a big luxurious frech window, he looked through it to a very special garden, he was carried away by his thoughts, jada knew he was looking at the garden him and kylie used to play

JADA
Hey reignie, guess what?

REIGN
(distortingly) what?

JADA
I saw kylie, i told cleo abt you two

REIGN
(harshly) you what?!

JADA
Take it easy reign

REIGN
(harshly)You just betrayed me, i told you never to tell anyone about this

CLEO
(cuts in) I forced her to, she never wanted to

REIGN
Jada, i’m highly disappointed in you, how would a nefarious twerp like this force out sentences from you (refering to cleo)

MASON
Don’t you call her a twerp, fine your harshness has a source, then you shouldn’t use it on our sister, same applicable to cleo, are you an ingrate? for all the consolation jada have given you, yet you still treat the way you want emotionally, do you know what? if i were you i’ll stay away from humans
(reign got angry and gave mason a hærd punch, mason turns back to him and pushed him directly to the wall, they started fighting each other)

CLEO
Jada, i can’t watch them hurt each other
(cleo tried to seperate the both of them, but unfortunately, reign mistakenly hitted cleo, she rolled downstairs through the staircase, and went unconscious, she was covered with injury, reign and mason stopped their fight)

MASON AND JADA
Cleo!!!

CLEO
I woke up, i was so weak, everything visualizes blurr, i heard the sound of the unlocked, i knew what happened, i could see beams of sunlight piercing through my skin, i could tell i was very weak, i tried to lift myself up and rest my back on the pillow

JADA
Oh cleo, you are awake, i’m so glad, your mum said you have a phobia of going to hosp., so we invited our family doc

CLEO
(in weak tone)Where’s mason?

JADA
Oh he’s in the sittingroom, should i call him?

CLEO
No, ne’er mind, whatabo.ut… reign?

JADA
Oh to the greatest surprise, he was here with all night, he’s on the sofa, still sleeping
(reign woke up, he stretched his body)

REIGN
Heyy, cleo, how’s your health?

CLEO
(YELLING) stop faking your feelings you jerk! i ended up here all because of you, all because of your stupid and nut character, can’t you for once change, do you know how people feel when you yell at ’em?
(reign stood up and walk towards cleo)

REIGN
I made a mistake stayin by you every hour, since this.

REIGN
I tried to be nice but you kept on stepping on my toes

CLEO
Your toes? for how long reign? for how long have you been introverted with this your crazy love tales that has happened to you
(reign held my arm tightly, his face was so close to mine, i could feel his breath)

REIGN
(angrily) hey gal, you know nothing about me and you’ll never

CLEO
take your filthy hands off me, i was just trying to be your shoes to know what’s wrong with you!

REIGN
Never you in your life dump into my business

CLEO
Fine! i’ll just leave you to rot in your dilemma
(reign got out and slammed the door angrily)

CLEO
(Crying and hitting the pillow) he’s such a jerk jada, he’s such a jerk
(mason walks in)

MASON
Cleo?

CLEO
(crying) mason, i hate reign, he’s such a jerk
(mason gave cleo a warm embrace) it’s ok dear, just rest i’ll take of this

***
reign was in his room, he scattered everywhere angrily, he threw every vase he sees, jada came in

JADA
Reign, this won’t do, you are totally wrong bro.

JADA
You know i won’t give up on you no matter what

REIGN
(weeping)Jada, i don’t know what’s wrong with me

JADA
I can fix this, just give cleo a chance
(reign sat on his bed remorsefully)

CLEO
I woke up, i felt i resting on someone, it was mason, he pet me like a baby till fell asleep in his arm, i was totally relieved, it was kinda an awkward moment anyway
“can i get a some water?”

MASON
Sure!

CLEO
(mason left, he went to get me some water, i started having feelings for him anyway, he’s so hot, sooner i heard a knock from the door, it was reign, i feigned an angry face, he was holding a beautiful flower with a orange rose)

REIGN
Um… sorry for the other time, you just got on my nerves, take this it’s for you

CLEO
(he handed over the flower to me, a letter was attached to it, he turned back without saying a word, he turned back and said)

REIGN
Can we hang out tomorrow?

MASON
(cuts in as he brought in some water) no

REIGN
Why?

MASON
We have a date
