(Hailey is seen sobbing uncontrollably, her shoulders shaking with each sob, while Luke and Zander try to comfort her)

Jake: (Panicking, eyes wide with concern) “Hailey! What's wrong?! Hey! What happened?!”

(Milly, eyes filled with tears of betrayal, slaps Jake hard across the face)

Milly: (Voice trembling with anger and hurt) “How could you, Jake? I thought you were our friend!”

Jake: (Confused and desperate) “W-what are you talking about? Hey, what's wrong?”

Milly: (Stepping back, shaking her head in disbelief) “Don't touch me!”

Zander: (Eyes blazing with fury, pulls out his phone) “Maybe this will refresh your memory ”. (plays audio)

[Audio recording plays]: "Heck, Hailey can't even sing without me because of her stupid stage fright! And they probably wouldn't stand a chance without me!"

Jake: (Face draining of color, stammering) “W-wait, that isn't-... Hey! No no no, I-I didn't mean a word of anything I said!”

Zander: (Voice cold and cutting, stops the audio) “We should be grateful, huh? Looks like I was right after all. I should never have given you a second chance.”

Jake: (Voice breaking, tears welling up in his eyes) “ I-I'm sorry, I really didn't mean any of that!”

Jake: (Turning to Hailey, pleading) “Hailey, please! You know that was just a load of bullcrap! I... I-I wasn't thinking straight! Those guys egged me on, and I... I shouldn't have listened! Please, believe me!”

**Hailey runs off weeping out of the music club room

Zander: (Voice shaking with rage, stepping closer to Jake) “Are you happy?! I swear to god, if you EVER come near my sister again-!”

Luke: (Gently grabbing Zander's arm, trying to pull him back) “Zander! ...He's not worth it. Let's go find your sister.”

Zander: (Glaring at Jake, voice filled with finality) “Stay away from us!”

Sean frowns … he isn’t as pissed at the others. He knows Jake didn’t actually mean it but keeps quiet
