Scene: New York City
Scene 1: Brooke and True's hotel Room
(A thirty six year old Brooke Davis wakes up in bed and discovers her boyfriend, Austin Johnson is gone. She finds a handwritten note on his side of the bed and reads it)
Brooke(reading the note): Dear my beloved Brooke, I have decided to leave you because I have fallen in love with another woman
(Devastated, a heartbroken Brooke then starts crying. She continues to cry until True (15 ongoing 16) enters the room)
True: Good morning, mom
Brooke(choked up): Good morning, Ted
True(concerned): Why are you so sad?
Brooke(showing True the note): Austin left us
True(choked up): I'm sorry
Brooke(sobbing): I don't understand why I can't keep a man. I can't believe that I traveled all this way to New York for a man who doesn't love me.
True: Its his loss, never forget that. It is not your fault no matter what.
Brooke(making up the bed): Anyway, we are going to be late for the fashion show. The fashion show starts at 8:00 and it is already 7:30.
True(leaving Brooke's room): You're right
Scene 2: The Fashion Show
(Brooke and Victoria are backstage looking at True walking down the runway)
Victoria: Brooke, your daughter is too fat to be a model
Brooke: I can't believe you are saying bad things about your granddaughter
Victoria: We need to fire her
Brooke: But she is my daughter
Victoria: She will never be pretty enough, she will never be good enough
Brooke: There you go again on your Rachel soapbox. True is no Rachel so please don't make her into Rachel.
(True walks backstage capturing all of Brooke's attention)
True: How did I do on the runway?
Victoria: You moved as slow as a turtle
True: Excuse me, what?
Brooke: You did a great job, True
True: Thanks, Mom
Victoria: Anyway, True, you suck at modeling
True: Victoria, you don't hate the other models. I don't understand why you hate me so much.
Victoria: You are a bastard and you have ruined my daughter's life. You were never conceived in love because you were born as the result of rape.
True(looking at Brooke in shock): Mom, is it true?
Brooke(crying): Yes
True(angry, she yells at Brooke): I hate you
Brooke(sobbing): True...
True(crying, she runs away from Brooke and Victoria): I hate both of you
Victoria(pulling Brooke into an embrace): You are better off without True
Brooke(breaking away from Victoria): Please shut up before I fire you
Victoria: You can't fire me because I am your mother
Brooke(yelling): You were never my mother
(Victoria and Brooke hear screams somewhere far off into the distance. They run to see what all of the commotion is about. They find a crowd gathered around True who is having a seizure on the floor)
True (clinging onto Brooke): Mom, please save me
Brooke (hysterical, she yells at anyone): My daughter has epilepsy. Someone please 911 right now.
Victoria (dialing 911 on her cellphone): I will call 911
Brooke: Thanks
(Ten minutes later ambulance workers storm back stage. The fashion show stops for a moment giving True enough time to be transported to the hospital. Heavyhearted, Brooke follows the ambulance to the hospital in her limousine. Victoria is left in charge of the fashion show until Brooke returns)
Scene: True's hospital room
Brooke (crying, she sits down at True's bedside): Please wake up, baby
True (opening her eyes): I am still alive
Brooke (hugging True): Thank God, you are alive
True (breaking out of Brooke's embrace): Please don't touch me
Brooke (shocked and confused): Why not?!
True (angry, she yells): You never wanted me. You don't deserve my love.
Brooke: I saved your life. That has to count for something, right?
True (still yelling): Your good deeds will never change things between us
Brooke (yelling): Young lady, you should show me more respect since I am your mother. I cared enough to give you life. I have made a lot of sacrifices for you throughout the years.
True (yelling): You are a liar, please leave me alone
(Angry, Brooke slams the door behind her and returns to the fashion show)
