BROOKE SEES ISAIAH & MARIAH’S ROMANTIC PICTURE
The room is quiet.
Isaiah and Mariah sit together, laughing and talking. Their conversation feels easy, almost as if nothing else in the world matters.
Mariah smiles at Isaiah.
Isaiah looks at her confidently.
Mariah smiles again.
The two share a brief romantic moment.
Across the room, Hope and Faith notice them.
Faith quietly pulls out her phone.
Hope looks at Faith and smiles.
Faith takes a picture of Isaiah and Mariah together.
She looks at the screen.
The picture clearly shows how close Isaiah and Mariah are.
Faith opens her phone and sends the picture to Brooke.
Brooke sits alone on her bed.
Her phone suddenly buzzes.
She looks down.
A message from Faith.
Brooke hesitates before opening it.
She taps the picture.
Her expression immediately changes.
It’s Isaiah.
With Mariah.
Together.
Brooke stares at the screen.
Her breathing becomes tense.
She zooms in on the picture.
Her eyes fill with emotion.
Brooke reads the message.
Her anger grows.
She throws the phone onto the bed.
She stands up and begins pacing around the room.
She picks up the phone again.
The picture is still on the screen.
Brooke stares at it.
Her emotions become overwhelming.
Hope and Faith sit together.
Faith checks her phone.
Faith looks slightly concerned.
Hope shrugs.
Faith looks at the phone again.
Hope doesn’t respond.
For a moment, neither of them speaks.
Brooke sits on the edge of her bed.
She looks at Isaiah and Mariah’s picture one more time.
Tears begin forming in her eyes.
She wipes her face.
Brooke places her phone beside her.
She tries to calm herself.
But the emotions are too strong.
She gets up.
The room suddenly feels like it’s spinning.
Brooke grabs the edge of a table for support.
She slowly sits down.
Her eyes close for a moment.
She tries to reach for her phone.
It slips from her hand.
Brooke becomes unresponsive.
The room falls silent.
Bethany walks down the hallway.
She is carrying something in her hands.
She stops outside Brooke’s door.
No answer.
Bethany knocks.
Still nothing.
Bethany slowly opens the door.
Her expression changes instantly.
Brooke is lying unconscious on the bed.
Bethany freezes.
She rushes toward her.
Bethany gently calls her name again.
There is no response.
Panic fills Bethany’s face.
She immediately grabs her phone.
She calls for emergency assistance.
The house suddenly becomes chaotic.
Footsteps rush toward the bedroom.
Hope and Faith arrive at the doorway.
They see Brooke lying there.
Faith looks down.
Her expression becomes filled with guilt.
Faith doesn’t answer.
Faith hesitates.
Faith lowers her head.
Medical responders arrive and carefully assess Brooke.
Bethany waits nearby, visibly worried.
Hope and Faith stand silently in the hallway.
The atmosphere is tense.
She takes a breath.
The responders prepare to take Brooke for further medical care.
Bethany follows closely.
Isaiah sits with Mariah when his phone begins ringing.
His expression changes as he listens.
Isaiah slowly stands.
Isaiah nods.
Isaiah doesn’t know what to say.
He looks down at his phone.
The happiness from moments earlier has completely disappeared.
Bethany sits waiting.
Hope and Faith sit several seats away.
Neither says a word.
Bethany overhears them.
Isaiah walks through the doors.
He looks worried.
He sees Bethany.
Isaiah closes his eyes briefly.
The hallway is quiet.
Bethany stands outside Brooke’s room.
She looks through the window.
Brooke is receiving medical attention.
Behind her, Hope and Faith stand together.
Faith nods.
Everyone waits.
Isaiah sits quietly.
Mariah remains beside him.
Hope and Faith sit together.
Bethany keeps looking toward the hallway.
No one knows what the next few hours will bring.
Finally, a doctor walks toward them.
Everyone stands.
Bethany nods.
The group sits back down.
Isaiah looks at the floor.
The camera slowly moves away from the waiting room.
Everyone remains silent.
The picture that was meant to cause jealousy has now changed everything.
