ACT THREE


INT. BAKER HOUSE - LIVING ROOM / KITCHEN - DAY (D2)

Olivia, Patience, and Simone stare at Layla in disbelief.

PATIENCE

--So, you just left the man sitting there in the studio...

OLIVIA

Layla...

LAYLA

What? I don't know. I just panicked. I couldn't find the words.

(a beat)

I don't think I'm ready to live with a-- a boy.

PATIENCE

(smirks)

Layla, you practically live together now... You have a key.

LAYLA

That's different... When I need space I can leave. But if we live together there's nowhere to flee.

OLIVIA

That part... Don't get me wrong. I love Spencer but every now and then some alone time is very necessary.

LAYLA

See, Liv gets it.

PATIENCE

(not convinced)

Yes, but are you sure this is really about having "me time" and not you trying to self-sabotage?

LAYLA

What do you mean?

SIMONE

(clears her throat)

If I may?

(off Layla's hesitant nod)

It's like you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop... Because you've been hurt in the past. Or I don't know, maybe part of you feels you're not deserving... But you are in fact very much deserving of love, Layla.

LAYLA

(tearful nod)

Thank you, Simone...

Olivia and Patience eye Simone suspiciously.

SIMONE

What?

PATIENCE

Where the hell did that come from?

OLIVIA

Okay, where is Simone and what have you done with her?

SIMONE

(shrugs)

Coach Baker passing away and almost losing Kia just really put things into perspective... Life is too short to be holding grudges...

(a beat, looks at Layla)

Now, we're far from braiding each other's hair but--

LAYLA

But it's a start.

Simone and Layla share a sweet moment.

 A beat. Olivia looks toward the door.
