1. The Desperate Warning
BROOKE :
Jayden, pick up… pick up!
Jayden, listen to me closely. Bethany has her claws in him. She’s forcing Larry to drive her to the cabin. You know what happens when she drinks. You know what she did last time.
JAYDEN :
Brooke… why are we still protecting him? You called Larry the night of the incident. You saw the texts. Why didn’t you stop him then?
BROOKE :
Because I was scared, Jayden! She holds things over people. But if she steps foot in that house… if she drags Larry down with her again… tell him he’s dead to us. Tell him the door is locked.

2. The Silent Witness Speaks
We shift the focus to Jayden. On Facebook, users love a “truth-teller.” Jayden is no longer just a friend; he is the victim of Bethany’s past manipulation who is finally breaking his silence.
JAYDEN
I stayed quiet because she made me think it was my fault. She spins everything, Brooke. But I’m done hiding.
BROOKE
Then say it. Larry is too blind to see the knife behind her back. He needs to hear it from you.
JAYDEN
I’ll tell him. But once I pull this thread, Brooke… everything unravels. She won’t go down quietly.
BROOKE
Let it burn. Just save Larry.
3. The Toxic Whisper
Larry sits frozen. Bethany is uncomfortably close, her hand resting possessively on his knee.
BETHANY
Don’t listen to them, Larry. They’re just jealous. They don’t know you like I do. Just drive. Once we get there, it’ll just be us. Like it’s supposed to be.
LARRY
Beth… Brooke is really upset. Maybe we should just—
BROOKE
Don’t you dare finish that sentence, Larry!
Get away from him.
BETHANY
Look at you, Brooke. Always so dramatic. Larry was just telling me how much he wants me to come. Weren’t you, Larry?
LARRY
I… I didn’t say…
4. The Exposed Secret
BROOKE
Larry, put the phone on speaker. Now!
JAYDEN
Larry, look at her. Look at her and tell me you don’t remember what she did to me.
She didn’t just make me “uncomfortable,” Larry. She ruined me. She isolated me. And she’s doing it to you. If you bring her here, you are choosing your abuser over your family.
BETHANY
Shut up, Jayden! You’re a liar!
JAYDEN
I have the recordings, Bethany. Do you want me to play them for Larry?
Bethany freezes. Her face pales. The power dynamic instantly shatters.
5. The Unfinished War
LARRY
Recordings? …Beth?
BETHANY
You’re all pathetic. You think you’re saving him?
BROOKE
Get out. Before I let Jayden post everything he has.
BETHANY
Fine. I’ll go. But remember this… I know secrets about this group that make what I did look like a joke.
Check your texts, Brooke. It’s not over.
LARRY
Brooke? …It’s over, right?
BROOKE
No. I think it just started.
