AND THE WINNER IS....

"I should've known", Christina starts out by saying. She is in an abandoned warehouse, drinking booze, and looks quite rough. Her stockings are all torn up, visible bruises can be seen. In her hand, Christina holds a pendant - which is engraved with the initials A.B. There is a loaded pistol next to her. Aguilera slowly picks it up, holding it to her temple, and pulls the trigger. As the cut scene fades away, a shot could be heard.
"Six months earlier..." is displayed on the screen.
There are sirens blazing as the camera pans out to reveal Harlem, New York. Aguilera and Azealia are sharing blunts and plot to leave the girl gang in which they joined. Meanwhile, some passing guy spanks Christina on the tush. Azealia lashes out, pulling out a Swiss Army knife. Christina reassures her that it's okay: "Let them have it. Let them eat cake." They are locked in a passionate gaze for a few moments and lean in to kiss. Police cars pull up to the alleyway in which the girls are residing. "Spitfire" kicks in with its reggae-inspired beat, Aguilera and Azealia smile at each other as if they've done this before and are now on the run. Both of them possess outlandish body decorations. "You know, I've always known you to be the wild one ever since we were kids", Azealia says to Christina. "Oh, is that so?" she responds with a sarcastic undertone. "Yep, just like the good ol' days." Azealia cheekily states.
The partners-in-crime are seen breaking into local corner shops, with pieces of glass thrown everywhere. Vibrant splashes of colour fills the screen as Azealia and Christina go paintballing. They're seen in a store that sells old CDs and shoplift a couple of mixtapes. A group of males challenge the two girls to a dance off. After it's over, Azealia and Christina fall into a longing embrace.
They then return to Harlem and run into their ringleader who particularly shows a likening to Azealia.
Christina: "If you touch her one more time, I swear I'll-"
Ringleader: "You'll what?"
Azealia: "Leave her alone, Chrissy!"
Before you know it, Aguilera drop-kicks their ringleader to the floor and throttles her until she ceases to breathe no more.
Christina: "There you go. Come on, Zeali, let's leave this place.. together."
Azealia: "I don't know you anymore."
Christina: "Fine! If that's how you feel then just know that-"
Azealia: "No matter how much of a bitch my sister is - was - it still does not take away from the fact that she is my sister."
Christina: "It must run in your family then."
Azealia: "What does?"
Christina: "How much of a bitch you are."
Azealia: "I'm surprised you ain't my sister instead."
They both part ways, however, as Azealia storms off.. she accidentally drops the pendant (engraved with her initials) Christina gave her. It flashbacks to a time where Azealia and Christina lived in the same neighbourhood together. They are having fun in the local park when a group of girls (including what seems to be Azealia's sister) pick on young Azealia. She falls off the swing and hurts herself quite badly. The girls just laugh it off as young Azealia bursts into tears. Christina, clearly frustrated with seeing her friend in such a way, comforts Azealia and gives Azealia her pendant made of emeralds. "My dad gave this to me for my 8th birthday but I think it looks better on you". Azealia smiles back and thanks Christina. The scene fizzles out. Present-day Christina picks up the pendant, spits on it, and puts it inside her bra. Outside the warehouse, Azealia is seen to be distraught as she raps her verse.
We're now back at the warehouse, six months later. Footsteps can be heard. Christina thrashes the pendant to the ground and says "Why did I come here in the first place? She stood me up again!" The screen flashes back to a Christina in her teens who is seen outside her house. In her hand, she holds a drawing of a man who's labelled as "Dadi". Tears roll down her cheek as teenage Christina burns the drawing with a lighter. It then goes back to the warehouse scene. Christina says once again "I should've known", picks up the gun and is just about to pull the trigger. "It's all my fault." The camera then shakily reveals Azealia entering the warehouse. Azealia then aims for Christina. "You promised me everything. That we would leave this shithole. So let's do it." She shoots Christina. After a short while, Azealia wraps her still-loaded gun in Christina's lifeless hands and pulls the trigger herself. Their bodies lay together on the warehouse floor, with the broken pendant in between them. They both can be heard saying "Shots fired" as the screen is filled with splatters of their blood. |
