Brooke Catches Bethany Going Through Her Phone

-

 INT. BROOKE’S BEDROOM – EVENING

Soft golden light filters through half-closed curtains. The room is neat, calm… untouched.

The DOOR CREAKS open slowly.

BETHANY slips inside, осторожно closing the door behind her. Her breathing is shallow. Her eyes scan the room like a trespasser afraid of being caught.



A beat.

She walks toward the BED.

Brooke’s PHONE lies on the bedside table.

Bethany hesitates… then grabs it.

Her fingers tremble slightly as she unlocks it.

BETHANY
(whispering to herself)
Just a quick look… nothing more.

She scrolls.

Messages. Photos. Private notes.

Her eyes narrow. Curiosity turns into something darker — suspicion… jealousy.

INSERT – PHONE SCREEN
Chats. Personal conversations. Names Bethany recognizes.

Bethany scrolls faster.

Her breathing gets heavier.

BETHANY
(muttering)
What are you hiding, Brooke…

She opens another folder — PHOTOS.

Her face tightens.

A mix of confusion and anger flickers across her expression.

Suddenly—

A SHADOW appears behind her.

Unnoticed.

Bethany keeps scrolling.

Then—

BROOKE (O.S.)
(cold, controlled)
Looking for something?

Bethany FREEZES.

Her fingers stop moving.

Slowly… she turns.

BROOKE stands behind her, arms crossed, eyes sharp and unblinking.

Silence.

Heavy. Suffocating.

BETHANY
(stammering)
Brooke… I—I wasn’t—

BROOKE
(interrupting)
Don’t.

A step forward.

Bethany instinctively steps back.

BROOKE
(low, dangerous)
You’re in my room… holding my phone… going through my personal data.

A pause.

BROOKE
So please… don’t insult me with a lie.

Bethany swallows hard.

She grips the phone tighter.

BETHANY
(defensive now)
I just wanted to know the truth.

BROOKE
(confused, sharp)
The truth about what?

Bethany’s eyes flicker.

She hesitates.

BETHANY
(voice rising slightly)
About everything! About what you’ve been hiding!

Brooke lets out a short, disbelieving laugh.

BROOKE
Hiding?

She takes another step closer.

BROOKE
You break into my room… invade my privacy… and somehow I’m the one hiding things?

Bethany’s composure cracks.

BETHANY
(frustrated)
You act like you’re perfect, Brooke! Like you don’t have secrets!

BROOKE
(firm, intense)
Everyone has secrets. That doesn’t give you the right to steal them.

Silence.

Bethany looks down at the phone… then back at Brooke.

BETHANY
(softer, but emotional)
I needed to know where I stand.

Brooke’s expression shifts — slightly less anger, more disappointment.

BROOKE
You could have asked me.

BETHANY
(bitter laugh)
And you would’ve told me?

A long pause.

Brooke doesn’t answer immediately.

That silence says enough.

Bethany’s eyes fill with frustration.

BETHANY
Exactly.

Brooke exhales slowly, trying to control herself.

BROOKE
That still doesn’t justify this.

She extends her hand.

BROOKE
Give me my phone.

Bethany hesitates.

For a moment, it feels like she might refuse.

Then—

She places the phone in Brooke’s hand.

Their fingers briefly touch.

Tension.

Electric.

Brooke pulls the phone back instantly.

BROOKE
(quiet but firm)
You crossed a line today.

Bethany looks down, guilt creeping in… but pride still holding her up.

BETHANY
Maybe.

A beat.

BETHANY
But at least now I know you’re not as honest as you pretend to be.

That hits.

Brooke’s jaw tightens.

BROOKE
And now I know I can’t trust you.

Silence.

The words hang heavy in the air.

Bethany looks at Brooke… searching for something — regret, maybe forgiveness.

She finds neither.

Only distance.

BETHANY
(softly)
I didn’t mean for it to go this far.

BROOKE
But it did.

A pause.

Brooke walks to the door and opens it.

BROOKE
(quiet, controlled)
You should leave.

Bethany doesn’t move immediately.

She looks around the room one last time — the calm, the order… now completely shattered.

Then she walks toward the door.

She stops beside Brooke.

For a moment, it feels like she might say something more.

She doesn’t.

Bethany walks out.

The DOOR remains open for a second…

Then Brooke slowly closes it.

INT. BROOKE’S BEDROOM – CONTINUOUS

Brooke leans against the door.

Her strong facade cracks.

She looks down at her phone.

Her thumb hovers over the screen.

Uncertainty.

Hurt.

Anger.

All mixed together.

BROOKE
(whispering to herself)
Why, Bethany…

She slides down slightly against the door, holding the phone close.

The room feels different now.

Colder.

Less safe.

FADE OUT.

INT. POLICE STATION – HOLDING AREA – NIGHT Harsh white lights flicker overhead. The air smells of metal and damp walls. Distant footsteps echo through the corridor. Bethany walks in, tense, her eyes scanning until they land on a cell. Lyntee sits behind iron bars, quiet, distant. Bethany steps closer, her voice barely holding together. BETHANY Lyntee… Lyntee looks up slowly, surprised—but not relieved. LYNTEE You shouldn’t be here. Bethany grips the cold bars tightly. BETHANY I had to see you. A pause. The noise of the station fades into the background. BETHANY Tell me this is a mistake. Lyntee looks away, her jaw tightening. LYNTEE It doesn’t matter what it is anymore. Bethany shakes her head, refusing to accept that. BETHANY It matters to me. Lyntee lets out a quiet breath, almost a laugh. LYNTEE You always cared too much. Bethany leans closer, her voice firm. BETHANY And you always push people away. Silence falls between them. A constable walks past,...
