Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel sit on a beach with palm trees and rocks behind them. Lopez sits to Duhamel's left. She wears a white wedding dress, its bottom hem stained with dirt and the left sleeve ripped off. Her hair falls loosely past her shoulders looking tangled and wind blown. Duhamel looks equally disheveled. His white suit blazer with black lapels is blown up so the bottom hem folds over his shoulders. His black bowtie is skewed and his left upper cheek has a cut dried with blood. Lopez and Duhamel hold hands, with Duhamel cupping both his hands around Lopez's right one. They look off into the distance confused and exasperated.

Storm Reid sits in a dark bedroom, the only light coming in from an open door that leads to a light hallway. Reid's face is lit up with the cold, bluish light characteristic of a computer screen, though the computer cannot be seen as the audience seems to be viewing her from the screen's perspective. Reid holds a cellphone to her right ear. Her lips are slightly open, her eyes staring at the screen in front of her. She looks scared, her face a little flush, maybe from crying. She wears a green cardigan with a navy blue t-shirt underneath.

Amie Donald and Violet McGraw sit together outside with green grass and trees behind them. Donald sits on the left wearing a tan tailored dress with a large bow tie with blue, red, and gold stripes. The tails of the bow tie are long, falling down her shirt front. Her long blonde hair falls loose at her shoulders. McGraw wears a light green cardigan with tan overalls peaking through over a white t-shirt. Her long brown hair creates a straight curtain across the front of her left side. The two girls hold hands, with each of their thumbs raised, seeming to be playing a game of thumb war. Donald stares blankly past McGraw, her appearance robotic and artificial. McGraw focuses intently on their interlocked hands, her eyes are wide and a toothful smile across her face.
