I couldn't stop thinking about the lyrics to Rihanna's smash hit " We Found Love. " even the visuals from the video made me think of my relationship I had with Vincent Banks, it wasn't a good relationship and it was something I definitely did not want to revisit.
I never really had a problem with Vincent until he let the drugs get to him, he was a very outspoken and strong man, he knew how to sweet talk a person and just make them fall in love with him which is what he did to me. The beginning of our relationship was perfect, many people didn't agree with it because of our differences, you know skin color, the way we dressed, the people we hung around.
No one ever wanted to give us a chance, we were more the topic of discussion then we were admired.
But then again, maybe its a good thing when your haters have nothing else to do but to talk about you.
It was weird to see him standing there, it was more weird to hear his voice. I didn't know whether to be happy, nervous, scared, who knows?
Location:
Las Vegas, Nevada
East Grill
The scene opens up outside the East Grill, Sean, Vincent, and Erica are shown all still around the same table, Erica playing with her fingernails, while Sean stares at the man he once loved.
Vincent: I figured you would be excited to see me.
Sean starts to jump out his seat, but Vincent pushes him down forcing him back into the chair, Vincent stands beside Sean with his hand pressed again his shoulder still forcing him into the chair.
Vincent: Now Sean I know I taught you better then that, I know you don't have a sense of home training but at least out in public you could be a little more respectful.
Vincent laughs.
Vincent: Calm down, I didn't come here to start any drama, I just want to talk to you baby, that is all.
Vincent slowly releases his hand from Sean's shoulder, he reaches over and grabs the chair behind Sean at the other table and places it at the table where Sean, and his sister is sitting.
Sean: What is it that you want from me Vincent? You ruined my life enough back when we were dating, what more can you possibly do?
Vincent: You call that dating? I say more fucking, then dating.
Erica jumps up from the table.
Erica: That's gross, and I really don't have time to sit here and listen to you guys gross me the fuck out, so [Turns and looks at Vincent] Call me once everything is taken care of, I do have a baby that I need to feed.
I wanted to turn around and smack Erica in her face so fucking bad, how dare she rub that in my face about my child, the child that she refuses to let me see. I never imagined that I would ever be put in a situation like this, I didn't know what to do and I was scared, more scared then anything.
I didn't know what Vincent was thinking at the moment, I didn't know what was on his mind, he was the type of person to act more then he would think and I didn't want to get into any type of physical altercation with this man.Erica grabs her purse and walks off from the table, leaving Sean and Vincent there together.Sean: What do you want Vincent?
Vincent: How about we catch up first before we jump into the business, but damn I will say that I've missed your pretty white ass.
Sean: That sucks, because this pretty white ass doesn't miss you, and never will miss you.
Vincent: You say that out of anger, but you have to admit that I really brought happiness to your life during our good days, we ran into some bumps in the road but always made sure you were taken care of.
Sean: Oh, is that what you call it?
Vincent: Funny, but I didn't come here to make jokes or act like we are best friends, I came here to finish what I started and get back whats rightfully mines.
Sean: And what is that?
Vincent: My fucking money you stole from me after you snitched to the police and got me locked up.
Sean: I gave you everything you wanted including the money I owed you, after the last job I did for you I told you I was out of the game and I did what I needed to do to keep my ass out of jail.
Vincent: So you sold me out.
Sean: I never said I sold you out.
Vincent laughs.Vincent: Whatever the case is, I know that at the end of the day, you and your little butt buddy, what's that punks name? Sane, Sid, Seven, [Scratches Head] Douche bag, well whatever his name is.
Sean: Synn.
Vincent: I knew I was close, but yeah that punk sold me out and please believe if I ever run into that punk, I will violate probation over him because we have some unfinished business.
Sean: You should leave Synn out of this, he has nothing to do with this.
Vincent: I'm pretty sure he'll come around, that's like your sugar daddy right? Your little flunky? He does everything you ask and need him to do, and you won't even give the man your time, he's pathetic, just like the rest of your group you choose to associate with.
Sean: I'm sure if he was around you wouldn't say that to his face, and for your information he isn't my sugar daddy, he is a very good friend and he is only concerned about my well being, unlike other people.
Vincent: Save that bull shit for someone else, I could care less about that man or anything else, the only thing I want is the million dollars that you owe me and honestly if I don't get it soon then I will be forced to make your life a living hell and I know you wouldn't want that.
Sean: I can put you in jail for harassment, so try me!
Vincent leans over the table getting closer and closer to Sean's face.Vincent: Do as your please Sean, but just know that your little friend Synn won't always be around to protect you. I'm out of jail now and there's nothing you can do about it, so I suggest you get use to seeing this face all the time!
Vincent moves in closer forcing a kiss on Sean, Sean fights back trying to push Vincent off of him, but the hold that Vincent has keeps Sean from moving, finally Vincent lets go, he slowly rises up from the chair, dropping a piece of paper on the table with his mobile number on it, he looks at Sean and then down at the paper. He smiles as he starts to walk away from the table.Sean: Stupid douche bag.
Sean grabs the number, he hesitates crumbling it up, he slides the number in his back pocket, he jumps up from the table and makes his way towards the exit as the scene fades to black.Location:Las Vegas, Nevada
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel
At this pointed I needed help, I needed someone I could talk to, I didn't want to relapse, I felt like I was going to relapse..Seeing Vincent only brought back memories, really bad memories that I didn't want to deal with.
Weed was my escape, it put me in a place where I felt comfortable, a calm state where I didn't feel so unhappy and so out of place. I knew the next couple years of my life was going to be the worst, I was so confused on how to handle the whole baby situation, the child support, and the court visits.
It was to much for me.The scene opens up inside the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, inside the hotel is packed, people leaving in and leaving out. A woman with long blonde hair makes her way into the building, wearing a t-shirt and some jeans, she makes her way over to the elevator door, she presses the 6 button on the elevator and waits as she goes up each floor, the door opens and she makes her way to room 609, she knocks and finally the door opens.Sean: FINALLY!
Standing in the door way in nothing but a pair of shorts and some tennis shoes, Sean invites the girl inside and the two make their way over to the couch. Nicki was a friend of mine, a really good friend of mine from High School, she knows everything about my life, from the first time I had sex, to the last time I snorted cocaine, I barely got to see Nicki because of her job detail, it wasn't hard to kind of catch up with her or even find out where she was.
But luckily for me she was in Vegas for the weekend and I really needed her at this time. Nicki: I thought you wanted me to meet you at the gym, so my dumb ass drove all the way to the gym and you wasn't there.
Sean: I'm glad you could stop by.
Nicki: Anytime, once I found out you were in Vegas I had to make sure I made time to see you.
Sean: Its so much going on right now.
Nicki: Like what?
Sean: I have this match at Blaze of Glory and mentally I'm not prepared for it, I've only trained twice for this match and both of those training sessions weren't the best.
Nicki: What kind of match is it?
Sean: The Tag Team Titles are on the line, and I'm going up against some tag team called The Aristocrats or something, and I mean I'm not so much worried about loosing the match, I don't know what I'm worried about actually.
Sean places his hand on his head.Sean: I have a huge headache.
Nicki: And you already know I have something for that.
Nicki reaches in her bag and pulls out a zip lock bag filled with some weed, she pulls out three dutches and hands them to Sean.Nicki: You know I hate rolling blunts and this is some good shit I got here, so please roll them up nice.
Sean: Party like the old days huh?
Nicki: I just want to take the stress of your head, I know how weed keeps you calm and helps you stop stressing and things but Sean you can't let these people that aren't involved in your life bother you. I know the situation with Vincent is a little different from this match but you have to see what Vincent is doing to you, he is trying to confuse you, he's trying to make life complicated for you and everyone else around you.
Sean: I don't even think I can focus on this match.
Nicki: Then you don't want to be Tag Team Champions, or at least one half of the Tag Team Champions and you have to understand that your not doing this match alone, yo u don't want to let your partner down and you definitely don't want to let your fans down, so really its your choice.
Sean: You make it sound so easy.
Nicki: Because it is, fuck what Vincent or anyone else has to say Sean, you are your own person and I guarantee everything will work out in the end, these titles and this match should be whats important to you right now, not these little simple threats that Vincent is throwing out your way.
Sean: I don't know.
Nicki: Vincent knows your trying to get your life back on track, and I'm pretty sure a judge would recognize that also, but what you have to do is not let Vincent control you because that's exactly what he's doing, look at how worried you are.
Sean: Maybe your right.
Nicki: I am.
Sean: I love you Nicki, I do.
Nicki: Now can we smoke please?
Sean laughs as he starts to break the weed down, Nicki jumps up from the couch and heads into the kitchen looking for something to drink as the scene fades to black.
