One phone call can change everything. And tonight, the truth Larry carries will ignite a war none of them are ready for…
INT. LARRY’S APARTMENT – NIGHT
The phone crackled in Larry’s hand as he hesitated, staring out at the darkening skyline. The truth he carried wasn’t just a secret—it was a time bomb, ticking louder every second he stayed silent.
He took a deep breath and pressed the call button.
The ringing echoed in his ear.
SHARRA (on phone, sharp, annoyed)
Hello?
LARRY (carefully)
Sharra… I need to tell you something.
A pause. A tension-filled inhale.
SHARRA
What is it, Larry?
Larry swallowed hard.
LARRY
It’s about Bethany… she doesn’t want Destiny living in the house.
The silence that followed was deafening.
Then—
SHARRA (exploding)
What? Are you serious? Why? Why would she do that?! 😳💥
Larry rubbed his forehead, the pressure building.
LARRY
I… I don’t know exactly why. But she’s firm. She made it very clear that Destiny cannot stay there.
Sharra’s voice trembled with rage—dangerous rage.
SHARRA
This isn’t just about a house, Larry! This is about Brooke and Destiny! How can she even think about keeping them apart? What is she planning?!
Larry’s shoulders dropped. He felt the storm brewing through the phone.
LARRY (wary)
I tried to explain, but… she’s serious. She won’t budge. And Sharra… you need to be careful. Bethany can be… relentless.
SHARRA (incredulous)
Relentless? Larry, I don’t care how relentless she is. Brooke and Destiny have a right to be together. No one—no one—is going to stop that!
Larry grimaced. This was exactly what he feared.
LARRY
I know, but… it’s more complicated than you think. Bethany has reasons—reasons she won’t talk about. And right now, she’s not listening to anyone.
Sharra paced her living room, anger radiating off her in waves.
SHARRA (demanding)
Larry, you have to tell me everything. What she said, what she wants, all of it. If she’s trying to separate Brooke and Destiny… I won’t let that happen.
Larry ran a hand down his face.
LARRY (cautious)
Alright… but you have to promise me you’ll stay calm. Bethany reacts fast when she feels threatened. And trust me—she will feel threatened.
Sharra scoffed, disbelief dripping from every word.
SHARRA (furious)
Calm? Larry, this isn’t about staying calm. This is about protecting Destiny. You don’t understand—she’s all Brooke has. I won’t let Bethany rip that away. 😤💥
The air between them grew thick, suffocating.
Every second felt like a fuse burning down.
SHARRA (commanding)
Start from the beginning. Every conversation, every warning, every demand Bethany’s made—tell me everything.
Larry exhaled slowly.
LARRY
Bethany’s been building walls between everyone. She doesn’t trust Brooke’s judgment anymore. She’s scared Destiny will be influenced… or hurt. But the way she’s handling it… it’s extreme.
SHARRA (cold, furious)
Extreme? Larry, this isn’t extreme—it’s cruel. Brooke and Destiny deserve to stay together. This is manipulation. I won’t stand for it.
Larry nodded to himself. He knew Sharra would react like this.
LARRY (soft, tense)
I know, Sharra. That’s why I called. You’re the only one who can stand up to her. But you have to be careful… Bethany doesn’t play fair. And she’s been planning this for a long time.
Sharra’s eyes flashed with determination.
SHARRA (resolute)
Then we’ll be ready. I’m not letting her win. Destiny stays where she belongs. Brooke stays whole. And Bethany… she’s not tearing this family apart.
A long, heavy silence filled the line.
They both understood—
The real battle was just beginning.
Bethany had set the rules.
Sharra was stepping onto the battlefield.
And Destiny’s future hung in the balance.
Larry hung up, heart pounding.
Sharra stood still, mind racing, planning, preparing.
And somewhere in the shadows…
Bethany was already watching. Already calculating. Already one step ahead.
The storm had arrived—
and no one was walking away unchanged.
