Sophia Harper: stares at the waves Can you believe it? That fucker knocked me up, made me abort, then canned me.
snaps fingers It starts with a stupid one-night stand, okay? Just some drunken mistake... turns out he was my boss, and he didn't even care!
Whoa, whoa, hold up. You slept with your boss?
rolls eyes Yeah, how else did I end up pregnant, dumbass? Long story short, I was desperate for cash, he was a goddamn legend in the art world, and I got caught up in the moment.
No baby is a mistake. My mom had me with someone she met on a one night stand.
sighs Well, lucky for you, your mom found true love in that random dude. But for me? Nah, I'm just broken, Chris.
Broken or not, there’s a reason they say everything happens for a reason.
laughs bitterly Yeah, maybe everything happens for a reason. But right now, I'm just trying to figure out how to piece this fucked-up puzzle together.
leans in closer to Christopher Look, Chris, I appreciate the sentiment, but right now, I need more than just empty reassurances.
sits up straight Alright, listen up, Chris. What I need right now is a solid plan. You got any ideas on how I can get my shit together and start over?
scoffs Dude, I don't want your money. I just wanna get back on my feet, you know? Find a new job, a fresh start... something real.
Well let’s start with a job first. Your old place had a reason for firing you.
narrows her eyes Oh, really? And what reason might that be, Chris? Was it because I accidentally slept with my boss?
No, it was because of that scandal you were involved in.
throws her hands up in exasperation Are you fucking kidding me, Chris? That shit wasn't even my fault!
Did you even see the tape?
stands up, pointing a finger at Christopher Are you seriously questioning me right now? Do you think I enjoy reliving that shit storm every fucking day?
Do you have a copy of the tape?
Sophia Harper reluctantly agrees to show Christopher the tape, hoping it will help clear her name and find a path forward.
3 hours later Wow, I knew the media could twist things but this is beyond-
grabs Christopher's arm Look, Chris, I know it's fucked up, but we gotta face this shit together. Those bastards don't care about the truth; they just wanna sell clicks.
calls his good friend Claire who works as a editor for a newspaper Hey Claire, I need a favor…
paces back and forth, biting her nails Okay, here's what we're gonna do, Chris. We need to gather some evidence, show the public the truth.
snaps her fingers Alright, Claire's on board. Now we need to find witnesses, people who were at the party that night.
slams her hand on the table Two weeks?! That's not enough time, Chris! We need more evidence, more witnesses. This shit ain't gonna be easy.
as Sophia hunched over on the table she starts to feel bad so I put a hand on her shoulder Hey, it’s ok.
pulls away from Christopher's touch No, it's not okay, Chris!
It is. Just take it easy.
snaps Take it easy? How the fuck am I supposed to take it easy when my whole damn life is falling apart?
calls Claire back Hey Claire, Sophia is getting really stressed. Can we schedule a meeting to discuss this further?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Fine, let's set up that meeting with Claire. But remember, Chris, we ain't just wasting time.
the meeting went well and Claire agreed to release an article about the situation
picks up her phone and dials Claire Hey, Claire. Thanks for agreeing to help us out. Listen, we need to strategize.
paces around the room, speaking rapidly Alright, Claire, we need to make sure this article reaches the right people.
looks up article online Damn, looks like we got quite a bit of support Sophia.
throws her hands up in the air Hell yeah, Chris! Let's ride this wave of public support! We gotta make sure our voices are heard!
grabs her bag and heads towards the door Alright, Chris, let's hit the streets. We gotta get this message out there. Time to rally the troops!
I grab a couple of our flyers and hand them out
hands a flyer to a passerby Hey, check this out! It's the truth about my situation. Spread it, share it, let's storm the system!
we talked to many people and some of them donated money to help
pulls out her phone and starts typing furiously Holy shit, Chris! The public is actually buying it! We're going viral!
