WELCOME ✨
ANTHONY CONFRONTS IMAN OVER SHAYLA 🥊
ANTHONY GOES TO SEE SHAYLA 🚗

The afternoon is quiet. Anthony drives toward Shayla’s house, wondering what has been happening in her life.

He parks outside, gets out of the car, and walks toward the front door.

Anthony knocks. After a few seconds, Shayla opens the door.

Anthony immediately notices that something is wrong.

ANTHONY
“Shayla… you okay?”

Shayla looks at Anthony but struggles to answer.

ANTHONY
“I came to check on you. You don’t look like yourself.”

Shayla looks down and slowly lets him inside.

SHAYLA TELLS ANTHONY THE TRUTH 💔

Shayla sits down in the living room while Anthony sits across from her.

A long silence fills the room before Shayla finally speaks.

SHAYLA
“Anthony… Iman did me really wrong.”
ANTHONY
“What happened?”

Shayla explains that Iman treated her badly and made her feel as though she didn’t matter.

SHAYLA
“I trusted him, Anthony. I really trusted him.”
ANTHONY
“Tell me what he did. I’m listening.”

Shayla continues explaining everything that happened between them.

SHAYLA
“He made me feel like I was only important when he needed something.”

Anthony’s expression becomes serious.

ANTHONY
“You didn’t deserve to be treated like that.”
ANTHONY BECOMES ANGRY 😡

Shayla wipes her eyes and looks away.

SHAYLA
“I just wanted him to be honest with me.”
ANTHONY
“You should never have to beg somebody to respect you.”

Anthony stands up. He is clearly upset by what he has heard.

ANTHONY
“I need to talk to Iman.”
SHAYLA
“Anthony, don’t make this worse.”
ANTHONY
“I’m not looking for trouble. But I’m not going to pretend what happened doesn’t matter.”

Suddenly, a car door closes outside.

Shayla looks toward the window.

SHAYLA
“That’s Iman.”
IMAN ARRIVES 🚪

The front door opens. Iman walks inside and immediately notices Anthony.

IMAN
“What are you doing here?”
ANTHONY
“I came to see Shayla.”
IMAN
“And she told you everything?”
ANTHONY
“She shouldn’t have had to tell me anything.”

Iman becomes defensive.

IMAN
“Man, this ain’t your business.”
ANTHONY
“It became my business when I heard how you treated her.”

The tension between the two men begins to rise.

ANTHONY CALLS HIM OUT
ANTHONY
“You shouldn’t have treated Shayla that way.”
IMAN
“She’ll be fine.”
ANTHONY
“That’s your response?”

Iman shrugs, showing little concern.

ANTHONY
“You should apologize to her.”

Iman looks toward Shayla but refuses to apologize.

SHAYLA
“Iman, just tell the truth.”
IMAN
“Tell the truth about what?”

Anthony watches Iman closely.

ANTHONY
“About how you treated her.”
THE ARGUMENT EXPLODES 🔥

Iman begins making disrespectful comments about Shayla.

Anthony’s expression changes immediately.

ANTHONY
“Don’t talk about her like that.”
IMAN
“Why? You gonna do something?”
ANTHONY
“I’m telling you to show some respect.”

Shayla steps between them.

SHAYLA
“Please… both of you, stop.”

But neither man is willing to back down.

IMAN
“You think you’re better than everybody.”
ANTHONY
“No. I’m just not going to stand here while you disrespect somebody who trusted you.”
THE CONFRONTATION 🥊

The argument becomes heated.

Anthony and Iman stand face-to-face while Shayla desperately tries to calm them down.

SHAYLA
“Anthony! Iman! Stop!”

The situation escalates and the two men briefly struggle with each other.

Shayla steps away and pleads with them to stop.

SHAYLA
“STOP! Please!”

Anthony and Iman separate.

Both men are angry, but Anthony keeps his focus on what started the confrontation.

ANTHONY
“You need to leave.”
IMAN
“You don’t tell me what to do.”
ANTHONY
“Then I’m telling you this: don’t ever disrespect Shayla like that again.”
IMAN MAKES A WARNING ⚠️

Iman heads toward the door.

Before leaving, he turns around and looks directly at Anthony.

IMAN
“You think this changes anything?”
ANTHONY
“It changes the fact that you know somebody is holding you accountable now.”

Iman shakes his head.

IMAN
“This isn’t over.”
ANTHONY
“I don’t want it to continue.”

Iman opens the door.

IMAN
“You’re going to regret getting involved.”

The door closes behind him.

SHAYLA OPENS UP 💔

The house becomes quiet again.

Anthony turns toward Shayla and sees how emotionally exhausted she is.

ANTHONY
“Shayla…”
SHAYLA
“I didn’t want you fighting with him.”
ANTHONY
“I know.”
SHAYLA
“I just wanted somebody to listen.”
ANTHONY
“And I listened.”

Shayla takes a deep breath.

SHAYLA
“Thank you.”
ANTHONY
“You don’t have to carry everything by yourself.”
A MYSTERIOUS CALL 📱

Suddenly, Anthony’s phone rings.

Anthony looks at the screen.

His expression changes.

SHAYLA
“Who is it?”

Anthony answers the call.

ANTHONY
“Hello?”

Anthony listens silently.

His face becomes serious.

ANTHONY
“Wait… what?”

He slowly lowers the phone.

SHAYLA
“What happened?”

Anthony looks toward the front door.

ANTHONY
“Shayla… Iman just called somebody.”
THE SUSPENSE BEGINS 😳
SHAYLA
“Who?”
ANTHONY
“He said this situation is about to become bigger than both of us.”

Shayla looks frightened.

ANTHONY
“Don’t worry. We’re going to handle this calmly.”

Outside, a vehicle slowly passes the house.

Shayla looks toward the window.

Anthony carefully looks outside.

The street appears quiet.

Then Anthony’s phone receives a new message.

Anthony opens it.

His expression suddenly freezes.

SOMEONE IS AT THE DOOR 🚪

Shayla notices Anthony’s expression.

SHAYLA
“What does it say?”

Anthony slowly looks up.

ANTHONY
“It says…”

Anthony suddenly stops talking.

The screen of his phone goes dark.

Then—

KNOCK.

A loud knock echoes through the house.

Shayla freezes.

Anthony slowly turns toward the front door.

Another knock.

Neither of them moves.

Then a voice comes from the other side of the door.

Anthony recognizes the voice immediately.

ANTHONY
“Iman…”

Shayla looks at Anthony in shock.

Anthony slowly reaches toward the door.

The scene cuts to black before he opens it.
