[Brooklyn Carter]

 Location:
San Francisco, California
The Four Seasons Hotel



The scene opens up outside the Four Seasons, Brooklyn is shown wearing a denim jump suit with a blue bra underneath, she lifts her hand to her mouth, and takes a couple puffs of the dutch before blowing the smoke out and staring into the open parking lot filled with cars. She ashes on the ground before taking another hit.

I couldn't believe that I was still in San Francisco, I should of jumped on that plane and headed back to Miami when I first had the chance, but sometimes told me to stay, something told me that maybe I should fix this estranged relationship that I had with my father, something told me maybe I should get the answers that I needed to hear for so long in my life.

Brooklyn takes another hit of the blunt.
>Now London isn't talking to me because he feels that I handled the whole situation in a childish manner, but my point is London has no clue what happened between my father and I, and I just haven't got the courage to tell him, I know how he would react once he found out the truth and obviously London has something to prove by meeting with Jerome, and I wouldn't want to ruin that for him right now.

Dana walks from around the corner of the building to where Brooklyn is standing, she reaches over and grabs the blunt out of Brooklyn's hand, and takes a couple puffs.

Dana: Puff..Puff Pass bitch!

Brooklyn laughs.

Dana: You know I usually don't smoke this stuff, I quit back in college, but I can tell that you really need a friend right now so, what the hell? I can break a couple rules today and have some fun.

Brooklyn: All for me.

Dana: Yes.

Dana was more of a best friend, or like a sister I never had. She always knew when something was wrong with me, or if I was having any issues in my life. I enjoyed her company and really she is the only person I trust besides my brother, I met Dana back in high school, we did some modelling together and ever since then we became best friends. Sadly, Dana had suffered breast cancer and while my career took off, she kind of fell back into the whole depression and recovery stage, but I stood by her side towards the end.

I was very proud of Dana because she was able to fight the cancer, but after the disease was gone she never really got back into the whole modelling and entertainment world, she decided she wanted to stay behind the scenes, I felt bad for her and I wanted her to succeed so I offered her a job as my publicist slash best friend slash part time therapist, in the end it all works out.

Dana: Kittie and Misty has been running their mouths these last couple of days, did you get a chance to see what they had said.

In the back of my mind I wanted to scream out " So Fucking What. " but I knew it would make Dana happy to see me concerned and prepared for this match I have at Blaze of Glory.

Brooklyn: No, but I'm pretty sure you are going to tell me about it.

Dana: Nothing to much to tell, it was the same talk, how their champions and how your so not ready to hold any championships and blah, blah, blah.

Brooklyn: Typical talk.

Dana: But this match is important not only for your career, but the championship is on the line and you have a chance to walk away the new Bombshell Champion.

Brooklyn: Titles aren't really my concern, even if the match was a non-title match, I guarantee I would walk in and take control. I don't care about the bad hair jokes, or the talk about how I bring my past into the wrestling ring. I'm a strong individual and I've experience a whole lot in my years of living on this earth and one of those things that I've learned was to never back down, don't let anyone punk you. I know Kittie and Misty both see me as a threat and their nervous, they haven't faced good competition like me in years and I'm pretty sure their afraid of what could go down in that ring.

I was ready, and I wasn't letting anyone or anything stand in my way of winning that Bombshell Championship. Fuck what Misty or Kittie had to say because it wasn't important to me.

Maybe its typical for the old washed up stars of SCW to poke fun at the newbies, and that's fine because I can handle any punch thrown at me, but just know that this newbie isn't playing games and when Blaze of Glory comes, you will see a whole different side to Brooklyn Carter.

Dana: What about the other chick in the match?

Brooklyn: FUCK HER, I don't know who she is, never heard of the bitch. The only thing I can say is she needs to stay out my way, I have no drama or beef with this chick, I understand she is in it for the gold also, but I'm taking no prisoners, when I walk in that match, I plan to walk in prepared and ready, and I plan to leave with that title around my waist.

Dana: I've never seen you so pumped about a match.

Brooklyn: Because it's not my style, you know I hate trash talking before matches, I don't really see the point. But the difference between me and the rest of the girls is that I don't trash talk, and if I do, I never have a problem with backing it up.

Dana: I think it should be pretty interesting though.

Brooklyn: Everyone woman stepping in this match is different in their own little way, both Kittie and Misty look like death, their pale skin bodies, and their wack wrestling skills, I'm pretty sure they'll be easy to get rid of, I mean look what I did to Kandi Washington and look what happened after I was finished with her.

Dana: True.

Brooklyn: I'm not to worried about this match, my concern is to win and to win only, I don't care who I have to hurt in the process and hopefully this Raynin chick won't get in my way.

Dana: What about Kittie and this whole new alliance she has, with what's his name? Synn?

Brooklyn: Who cares, she needs all the back up she can get. I hate a woman that hides behind a man, and she claims to be this tough ass chick, that's exactly why she doesn't deserve to hold that title and I will do everything in my power to beat the hell out of that girl and take what's mine.

Dana: Claiming the championship already, huh?

Brooklyn: The championship was mine from the beginning, my name was should be attached to that belt, not fucking Kittie.

It was disturbing to me that Kittie was the Bombshell Champion, she holds a title that she definitely doesn't deserve. When I first signed to SCW, I noticed how competitive and how strong Kittie was, she was the type of girl that if she put her mind towards something, then that was her main focus.

And I liked that about her.

What really turned me off were the comments she would make, the negative things that would spill from her mouth about me and she doesn't even know me. I understand that when it comes to this business, you have to be strong minded and you can't let people walk all over you and I understand that, I'm pretty sure Kittie has worked her ass of to get where she is now.

But at the end of the day I am a competitor to, and I deserve respect. I never once walked into this competition blasting or bad mouthing anyone, I kept to myself and made sure I watched everyone around me.

Kittie is just an angry individual and maybe she has reason to be, but that will all change after Blaze of Glory, because once I'm finished with her and the rest of these flunkies in this match, they won't even be able to show up for the next show.

Brooklyn finishes off the blunt and tosses it in the grassy area next to the parking lot, she adjust her overalls and heads toward the parking entrance, she grabs a hold of Dana's arm and the two make their way into the hotel and towards the elevator.

Ding...

The elevator opens.

Dana: We really need to figure out a solution to this whole father thing, as much as you don't want to see him, I think you should really hear what he has to say.

Brooklyn: Honestly I'm not interested, I'm so tired of letting all this outside influence mess up my focus on what's important in life. That's why these females in this league make the comments they make, like about me wanting people to feel bad, or how I choose to bring up my past issues, I'm tired of dealing with it all.

Dana: What do you suggest?

Brooklyn: I have no reasons to meet with that man, and honestly I feel like I'm okay with that.

Dana: So your not interested in hearing anything he has to say.

Brooklyn: To tell you the truth, NO!

Brooklyn smiles as she waits for the elevator door to open, she walks off the elevator and heads toward her room, pulling her key card out, she goes to slide it through the door but the door opens, the smile on her face quickly turns to a frown.

Brooklyn: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?

Brooklyn turns and looks at Dana.

Brooklyn: CALL SECURITY AND HAVE HIM ESCORTED OFF THE PREMISES, matter of fact, make sure he is not a loud back in this hotel while I'm staying here, and that goes for any time.

Dana: I don't think we have the authority to do that.

Brooklyn: TRY!

Dana turns and rushes toward the elevator, she hits the L button for Lobby and waits for the elevator to come back up, Brooklyn turns and stares at the man standing in her door way.

Brooklyn: What are you doing here Jerome and how the hell did you know where I was staying?

I honestly didn't need to ask that question, I knew London told him where I was at.

Jerome: You shouldn't be so angry all the time Brooklyn, I didn't come here to cause you any pain or drama, I just want to talk.

Brooklyn: I guess it's a little to late for that.

Jerome: Stubborn, just like your mother.

Brooklyn walks closer to Jerome's face, sticking her finger up.

Brooklyn: Leave her out of this, I have to much respect for my mother to sit back and let you bad mouth her.

Jerome: I wasn't bad mouthing her sweetie, I was only comparing you two, or at least pointing out the similarities you have.

Brooklyn: What do you want?

Jerome: Please give me five minutes of your time, that's all I need to say my piece and I will be out of your hair.

Brooklyn: And hopefully out of my life.

Even though the relationship between my father and I wasn't the best, I always had a soft spot for him. As crazy as it is to say, I still loved my father despite all the nasty things he had done to me. The man created me and with out him I wouldn't be able to walk on this earth today, but that still doesn't give him a good enough excuse of what he did to me.

Brooklyn: You have five fucking minutes.

Brooklyn walks pass her father and into the hotel room, she drops her phone and weed grinder on the couch, she walks into the bedroom first, looking through her drawers and purses to make sure nothing was taken, as she looks through the first person, Jerome makes his way into the bed room.

Jerome: I didn't take anything.

Brooklyn: I never said you did [Pauses] Wait a minute. [Looks around] Where the hell is London?

Jerome: He had a couple things to attend to this morning, but I told him I would be fine by myself.

Brooklyn: What is it that you want from me?

Brooklyn slams the drawer shut and makes her way over to the bed, she sits down on the edge crossing her legs and staring in the direction of her father, but not directly at him.

Jerome: I wanted to come by and see how you were doing, I wanted to see how life was and what you been up to.

Brooklyn: I've been doing so much better since I left home, but you wouldn't know that since you decided to stay out of my life for all these years.

Jerome: I had my reasons.

Brooklyn: And what reasons could that be? Oh wait let me guess, you didn't want to abuse me anymore huh? was all the sexual abuse not fun for you anymore.

Jerome: I never sexually abused you Brooklyn, but I will admit that I did things that a normal father shouldn't do and I apologize for that. I take the award for being the worst father ever and trust me when I say this, that I am a changed man.

Changed man huh? He really wanted me to accept that.

Jerome: During that time Bam Bam I was going through some terrible changes, dealing with the family and my job, I don't know what came over me and then me and your mom wasn't seeing eye to eye.

Bam Bam was a special nick name for me, it was something only my family and close friends would call me. I never told anyone about it because after the shit I went through with my father, I kind of wanted to forget that whole name, its liked I closed that chapter in my book called life.

Brooklyn: So you use the shit you were going through at home and outside of home as an excuse of what you did to me, you feel as though that's a good enough reason.

Jerome: I never said I was using it as an excuse, all I'm saying is during that time I was dealing with a lot of demons and instead of trying to get help, I let those demons take control over me and my life, it was a very hard time for me Bam Bam and I really wanted to get help.

Brooklyn: So why didn't you?

Jerome: It wouldn't of been right, and at that time I still loved your mother, I just went through a very dark time in life and I didn't know how to handle the situation, I was afraid of going to jail, I was afraid of loosing you, London and your mother.  

Brooklyn: But you didn't sit back and think how it would affect me growing up, til this day I still have problems with me and commitment and I blame that all on you, you are the reason why I don't trust men now.

Dana makes her way back into the room with five security officers behind her, she points in the direction of Jerome and the men go to work.

Jerome: DON'T DO THIS!

Brooklyn ignores her fathers cries as she rises up from the bed, slowly tears begin to grow in her eyes as she rushes in the bathroom slamming the door behind her, she falls down to the ground and cries as the scene fades to black.

1 Hour Later

The scene opens back up with Brooklyn shown standing in the bathroom, she stares into the mirror while she washes the flowing make up mixed in with her tears from her face, she turns and looks at Dana who is leaning up against the wall.

Dana: You did the right thing.

Brooklyn: Right now I feel like I didn't do the right thing, being in this situation really does hurt me and I don't know what to do.

Dana: Pray.

Brooklyn: Prayers won't help me through this, I have to decide on whether or not I can forgive my father or even be in the same presence as him, I mean its crazy he wants me to forgive him so quickly but it doesn't work like that, it can't work like that.

Dana: I see his point in trying to rebuild you guys relationship, but maybe its not the right time right now.

Brooklyn: I don't think it'll ever be the right time, I mean what happens if I want to have kids or I have kids, they'll never know their grandfather and honestly I just don't want to go through that drama right now.

Dana: The only thing I can say Brooklyn is give its some time,  no one is saying you have to forgive him or become best friends, all I'm saying is that if he really is a changed man then give him the benefit of the doubt.

Brooklyn: He can be a changed man, I just don't want anything to do with him.

Brooklyn washes her faces and then throws the towel down in the faucet, she turns and heads into the bedroom grabbing her phone off the bed, she reads through a couple text messages before receiving a call from her brother.

London: I'll be there today.

Brooklyn: Is that all you have to say to me? You fucking set me up London!

I didn't like fighting with my brother, he was all I had. Besides him and Dana I never really kept in contact with my the rest of my family, a lot of them never agreed with how I chose to live my life. The modelling had me active and traveling to different cities, my grandparents weren't to fond of that, especially at my age.

But London was my everything, I felt like he was my child more then my own brother. I practically raised him myself, during the trials and tribulations that my father was going through, my mother was always to busy to help take care of her own, before she messed her career up dealing with drugs, she was this big time Entertainment Lawyer in Atlanta.

I mean she was able to mingle and hang out with all the stars, I use to love going to her events and parties because every star you could possibly think of was always in attendance. But the pressure of my Dad's drug addiction and dealing with both my brother and I kind of sent her off the deep end.

My mom had to be enrolled into a Rehab Program, maybe a Asylum to keep from killing herself, I remember waking up one morning and reading in the Gazette about our family and the problems we had, especially financial.

London: I didn't call to argue, I will be there shortly.

Before Brooklyn could respond, a dial tone played out in her ear. She let out a deep sigh and placed the phone on the bed next to her, she looked up at Dana and then out the window as the scene fades to black.

30 Minutes Later

The scene opens up with Brooklyn leaning against the window, she watches as London makes his way across the street and into the hotel lobby.

Brooklyn: He's on his way up.

Dana jumps up from the bed, grabbing her phone and note pad.

Dana: Ok, well I'm going to my room and I guess when you two are done talking then call me, I'll come back over.

Dana walks out the bedroom and into the living room area, she grabs her purse and heads for the door, she reaches for the door but London already opened it from the other side, he smiles as he walks pass Dana who exits out of the room, closing the door behind her.

London: Brooklyn?

Brooklyn makes her way out of the bedroom and towards London who is standing beside the patio door, he opens the door and walks out while Brooklyn follows behind him.

Brooklyn: .....



Brooklyn stands there leaning against the wall, staring out into view of the hotel. London sits down in the chair, he pulls a clear bag containing weed inside out of his pocket and lays it across the table, he then reaches in his back pocket and pulls out a vanilla bluntville.

London: Look I know your mad at me and I'm sorry, but I only did it because I want this family back together, I'm so sick and tired of us being split apart and having all these issues, like I thought our family was stronger then that.

If he only knew, damn I wanted to tell him so bad but I knew it would crush him, it would rip him apart.

Brooklyn: I just can't right now London and you have to understand why, I can't really give you the reason now but you have to trust me on this.

London: I don't know if I can sis, like dad really wants to be apart of our lives and you know how long I've wanted that.

Brooklyn: Look London, there's something I need to tell you.

Ring... Ring

London: Hold that thought!

London answers his phone, his eyes widen and mouth drops as he continues to listen to the other end speak, he reaches on the table throwing everything back in the bag, he snaps his finger at Brooklyn to follow him back into the hotel room.

Brooklyn: What is your problem?

London ignores Brooklyn grabbing a hold of his wallet and car keys, he motions for Brooklyn to grab her things and she does, the two make their way out of the hotel room and down the hall.

Brooklyn: Where are we going ?

Still ignoring her, London runs onto the elevator and presses the first floor, the two ride the elevator down to the first floor and to the outside. London drops his phone back into the pocket and watches as the police place his father into one of their cars, both London and Brooklyn watch in shock as the scene fades to black.
