[Alfie walks towards Sofia, she see' him and instantly jumps up to greet him]

[Camera goes to the other side of the carriage and focuses on Rakeem. He is texting Mollie]
SCENE 5 - CONVERSATION
[Mollie and Elise are waiting for Rakeem and Alfie at the train station. Mollie receives a text from Rakeem, she looks at her phone with disappointment]
Elise: Obviously, You and Rakeem had history, but are you all for Alfie now? Or is there still something for Rakeem?
Mollie: [Sigh] I mean i'll always hold a place for him in my heart but i really like Alfie. But things happened between me and Rakeem that Alfie doesn't know about. You CAN'T tell Alfie.
Elise: He's my bestfriend, I can't hide this from him. You should've told me or him sooner.
Mollie: I know, I just couldn't do it. I tried to forget about it, but Rakeem brought it up the other day; and ahhh I'm just so confused...
[Mollie puts her head in her hands. Elise goes to sit next to her and comfort her]
Elise: I know it's hard, but you need to tell Alfie today! It's either you tell him today or I'll tell him myself!
Mollie: Let me think about it okay?
Elise: You haven't got long, they'll be here soon
SCENE 6 - Rakeem and alfie discussion
[Train is coming to a stop, Rakeem begins to question Alfie]
Rakeem: So who was that girl you spoke to?
Alfie: No-one b, just a friend that's all. Why you asking this anyways, acting like you ain't got female friends too [scoffs nervously]
Rakeem: Not even bout that bro, you have a girl and the way that other girl hugged you yeah... kinda weird in my eyes
Alfie: So you're telling me you ain't ever got a hug like that from a girl? Come on man it ain't that deep. Plus, why do you care?
Rakeem: Ermm, I'm just looking out for you and Mollie inih, you're my boy so I gotta make sure you don't mess up with her. She's good for you, she's special, she's beautiful, she's smart, elegant, she's -
[Alfie cuts him off and walks off before Rakeem can even get up]
Alfie: - Trains stopped, if you had taken a minute to stop talking about my girlfriend, you'd have fucking noticed it's the last stop.
Rakeem: Ahhh, sorry bro
Alfie: Don't give me that shit, I don't even wanna meet these lot now. Tell them I'm busy, I'm gone, going to link Elise.
Rakeem: Nah bro, come man; Mollie and Elise ain't seen you in a while. Fam, I already said i'm sorry -
[Rakeem pauses to think of something to say]
I - I only said that so you realised what you have before you lose it bro. Been through that, it's long b.
Alfie: Nah, I'm linking Elise, ain't in the mood for you or Mollie right now.
SCENE 7 - Elise and alfie
[Elise phone rings. She looks at it with a confused expression but picks up anyways]
Alfie: Yo Elise, you're with Mollie inih
Elise: Yeah, why? Something wrong?
Alfie: Cant talk right now, but link me at Victoria, I NEED to speak to you about all this.
Elise: Yeah cool, meet me at Victoria; we'll go on a walk or something
Alfie: Calm
[Alfie cuts off the phone and walks outside of London Victoria train station and walks towards Elise with a dampened expression on his face]
Elise: Hey Alfie, you okay?
Alfie: Yo, and nah not really. It's Rakeem, the way he was talking about Mollie was so off. Like he was talking as if he admired her and is infatuated with her. I pray that nothing has happened between them
[Elise starts her thought-track, everything freezes around them]
Elise: "I know something has happened between Mollie and Rakeem, but if I was to tell Alfie i'd lose my friendship with Mollie. Whereas, if I don't tell Alfie he'll keep on getting lied to, he's my brother... I can't do that to him... I'm going to give Mollie one chance to tell him, if not then i'll tell him myself -
Elise: Hmmm I hope so too Alfie, I hope so too.
Alfie: Might aswell go back and find them
[Elise calls Mollie to find out where they are]
Elise: Mollie, where are you two?
Mollie: Ermmm, we're at hyde park, you coming?
Elise: I'm still with Alfie but we're coming now
Mollie: Ah okay, how long you going to be?
Elise: We'll be there shortly
[Elise cuts off the phone]
SCENE 8 - Hyde Park
[Alfie and Elise are walking toward Mollie and Rakeem]
Elise: I'm sure nothing has happened between them
Alfie: Hmm, we'll see
Elise: I'm positive nothing has...
[Camera zooms in on Rakeem and Mollie on a bench together, takes a picture of them; image of them is on the screen]
Alfie: OH MY GOD, ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS
Elise: Alfie, calm down, i'm sure it's nothing
Alfie: Elise get out of my way
[Rakeem see's Alfie and Elise and gets up and starts walking toward Alfie]
Rakeem: Bro, I don't know what you just saw but...
Alfie: BUT WHAT? You were giving me all that shit about "Ah Mollie's good for you", blah blah, blah and you are fucking kissing her
Rakeem: Alfie, it weren't even like that
Alfie: THEN WHAT WAS IT LIKE, DID SHE TRIP AND FALL INTO YOUR LIPS
Rakeem: Bro, I'm really sorry
Alfie: Yo, don't give me that "bro" shit, you ain't no brother of mine, you're lucky I don't smack the shit outta you. Get the FUCK out of my face
[Rakeem walks off wiping his eyes as he realises his mistake. Alfie storms off to a tree and wipes his eyes too - Sofia calls Alfie]
Sofia: Hey Alfie, You still in London?
Alfie: [Sniffs] Yeah I am babe, where you?
Sofia: I'm near hyde park, what about you?
Alfie: Yeah I'm at hyde park actually. Wanna come see me?
Sofia: Yeah sure, walking there now. See you soon
[Alfie cuts off the phone, his head sinks into his hands - Camera switches over to Elise and Mollie, they are walking toward another bench]
Elise: I'm so fucking annoyed at you Mollie, how could you do this to him? You know how much he loved you!
Mollie: I don't know what I was thinking. I really loved Alfie too, I guess my lust for Rakeem just hasn't died out.
[They sit down on one of the benches]
Elise: That's no excuse Mollie, you've lost Alfie completely, you are so close to losing me; I hate you for what you have done.
Mollie: I know, I fucked up, really bad. I've lost Rakeem too. Ah Elise what do I do. [Mollie rests her head on Elise's shoulder and begins to sob. Elise reluctantly comforts her]
[Camera goes into the centre of the park. Slowly looks up toward the sky]
SCENE 9 - Conclusion
[2 weeks after the incident. Alfie phone screen is on the screen, he is texting someone, the text reads]
"I have been thinking for a while about this, and I have thought long and hard about what I'm going to do. Really and truly I cannot be bothered for any of this, but I have such strong feelings for you I can't hide it no longer. This is why I wanna be with you, and I hope you feel the same way. love Alfie x"
[He sends the text, the receivers name is blanked out so the element of mystery is still in effect]
