## History

### Winter 1999

On December 15th, the Chambers family had their annual Christmas party. Steve introduced this year's Christmas movie as being one of Jane's favorites and one that holds a special place in Steve's heart as well. The movie starts and Megan asks Luke if he wants to go inside, which relieves him. The sounds of gasps and moans distract them, pulling their attention to the screen where a sex tape is projected. It features a girl that everyone realizes is Isabella, because she's wearing the same pink sweater as in the video. The boy in the video isn't seen for a while, and Steve shouts to turn off the film while everyone murmurs. The boy in the video lifts his head, revealing himself as Luke. Megan looks at her boyfriend while Isabella raises her eyes. Steve shouts at Luke to turn it off and he runs over to the VCR, ejecting it. Megan rushes after him and then turns to stare at Isabella, while Kellie sneers to Isabella that she's some best friend.

Three days later on the 18th, sabella gets out of the airstream to find the lawn riddled with blow-up sex objects, including a doll with the words “go home, slut” sprayed on the chest. Once inside, Isabella learns that she was nearly suspended by Principal Bowers because of the sex tape, but Debbie talked her into a probation, instead.

Megan watches the rest of the sex tape in the living room when Isabella comes in. Megan pauses the video, shocking both of them to see Megan's face on the tape.

Megan worries that Principal Bowers will find out it's her on the tape and she'll lose everything, including her scholarship. Isabella offers to keep it a secret, to make sure no one finds out the truth. She'll be gone in a few months anyway, so it doesn't matter if people think she slept with Luke. She can handle people calling her a slut. She's not going to let Megan, who is like a sister to her, lose her scholarship over this. Megan thinks it's too much of a sacrifice, but it's what best friends do - they take bullets, give kidneys - she's not going to let the tape ruin Megan's future. She loves her and wouldn't do it for anyone else. Ride or die isn't just words, because they actually mean it, and Megan agrees.

Megan and Isabella pour gasoline on the sex tape, while Megan tries to make sure Isabella is okay with taking the blame. Chatham won't ever let her forget the tape, but she gets it, as Americans are prudish about sex. She promises not to regret this - as long as the truth stays between the three of them, no one will ever find out. Megan keeps trying to figure out who would do this. Isabella can think of one aspiring filmmaker with a grudge. Everyone talks about a woman scorned but men are even worse. Megan isn't convinced as it doesn't seem like his style. Isabella promises to find out who it was. She lights a match and sets the tape on fire.

The girls tell Luke their plan to let everyone think that it's Isabella on the tape. He's not sure he's okay with everyone thinking he cheated on Megan, including his dad, who is throwing a family meeting because of it. Brent will deny any involvement and his dad will buy whatever bullshit he's sold like always. Isabella still thinks Jeff made the tape, but Megan doesn't think so as Jeff's stuff looks more professional. Luke thinks it reeks of Brent. He just got a video camera for his birthday and is always bringing girls to the cabin. Megan isn't convinced he would play it at the party, not in front of Steve, leading Isabella to think it was a team effort. Jeff and Brent working together. But either way, they have to talk to both of them. Luke isn't convinced, agreeing to go along with whatever they want, but will handle his brother himself. Isabella doesn't think that will ever happen, and Megan cuts them off when she notices Deputy Hardwicke staring at the trio. Isabella thinks Luke owes Megan and threatens him if he doesn't make things right, angering him, as he's known Megan all her life. Isabella's known her for five minutes and is just a tourist. Megan separates them, but Hardwicke calls Luke over. He tells the girls to lay low until he talks to Brent. The last thing they need is to make things worse. When he walks off, Megan wants to go home and gives Isabella the keys. She'll drop her off but has something she wants to do.

Isabella heads to the Chambers house where she encounters Parker, who admits Brent tried to record her once, but she refused. She wants to know for sure there isn't a tape of them together. They break into the house and find a VHS cabinet. Isabella starts pulling the film out of them. Parker stops her before she can ruin the ‘88 tapes since their mother was alive then. She shows her a row of Brent's “sports” tapes, so Isabella sweeps them off the shelf. They stomp on them, jumping up and down, and chuckling after a while. They hear the garage open before they can get to the stash in Brent's room. One of the tapes that were destroyed reads, “Football Playoffs”.

When Steve finds out about the destruction, he calls a family meeting and insists on knowing if that's the only tape. Brent, after pressure from his dad, say it is the only one.

Brent comes downstairs later in the evening and finds Luke. Luke scoffs over Brent and his tapes, but the elder sibling insists they weren't his. Someone else made Luke the celebrity. From what Luke hears, Brent has a whole collection, asking if he even cares about the girls. Brent takes a seat and insists the skanks love the attention. Luke calls him an asshole, but Brent stops him from passing him on the stairs. These girls love being small-town famous, and when Isabella is forty, she'll look back on these as the best days of her life. Brent can't understand why Luke is being a little bitch about this. Those girls have him by the balls. Luke gets that he doesn't give a shit about the girls, but he can't believe Brent would humiliate their dad like that. Brent insists he doesn't know who put that tape in, but it sure as hell wasn't him.

While talking to Megan, Luke tells her that Brent doesn't know it's Megan on the tape - he still thinks it's Isabella. Unbeknownst to them, Isabella eavesdrops from the steps and overhears Megan use the phrase "ride or die" which was their friendship motto. Angered by this, Isabella goes downstairs to Debbie to tell her it was Megan on the tape.

### Summer 2000

On July 18th, Isabella and Parker arrive at the sheriff station for interviews about Luke's murder. Freddy, who is leaving, snidely asks if Isabella killed Luke to have Megan all to herself, with Jeff commenting on the bizarre love triangle. Parker tells her to ignore them as their assholes, but Isabella knows they're just saying what everyone thinks.

## Release and Filming Suspects

Because Luke originally denied filming and releasing the tape, the trio worked to figure out who was responsible.
