Episode 5 (full episode)

[Episode five opens up on the morgue with the scene of Mary waking up and escaping into the night barely alive and frightened, after that the focus returns to The Room of Jillian and her friends getting ready for the Halloween ball at the town hall hosted by the school]

Jillian: This dress is the best thing I have ever bought in my entire life

Lillith: you said the same thing about your vibrator

Jillian: make that second best

Lillith: remind me again what your supposed to be this is a costume ball you know , that means like scary or dramatic not slutty and normal

Jillian: umm hello im going as ke$ha duh

Lillith: well honey if anyone could pull off being a vomit haired knock off of gaga it would be you, not much of a costume though

Jillian: well then party snob who exactly are you going as, medieval Barbie?

Lillith: haha so funny, I’m red riding hood, just a little more edgy and in keeping with the times and such, I make it look quite fabulous don’t you think

Jillian: whatever don’t diss my costume just because no ones going to know who you are

[cut back to Gabriel and Andrew getting ready for the party]

Andrew: are you sure you should go to this you just got out of physical therapy I mean what if you fall

Gabriel: Andrew I love you, but I need a boyfriend not a father

Andrew: what happened to us, at the beginning it was so happy and then it just got fucked up

Gabriel: I happened to us okay, a part of me is always going to want you but the rest of me feels sullied by the fact that you made me wait so long just like… nevermind

Andrew: what were you going to say

Gabriel: do you remember back in eighth grade when you me kyle and Brandon were in the same class

Andrew: yes vaguely but yes, whatever happened to that, I mean you kind of hung out hardcore with Brandon and kyle and me from time to time but I didn’t get close to you until end of ninth grade

Gabriel: that’s because Kyle and Brandon were best friends and I was head over heels in love with him, I think that’s why I fell for you because that year when he moved on to whatever state hes in, a week after I came out, you were the only one who would still talk to me

Andrew: and now you and I are together and kyles a drug dealer and Brandons living his life far away from you and I

Gabriel: im starting to think maybe im not really in love with you, it doesn’t feel the way I felt when I was with Brandon, its strong but not the same, maybe im just in love with what you did and bonded to you, but its an artificial feeling

Andrew: that doesn’t make sense

Gabriel: and this is why I think what I think, you don’t understand me, and I think now that the excitement of chasing you and all that mess is over and im out of the honeymoon phase, I feel like perhaps things are going wrong for a reason, it’s a fabricated feeling, its not true love, its friendship and sexual passion

Andrew: what are you saying, I know I messed up with you and your right I shouldn’t have left you when the chips were down and I really shouldn’t have tried to break it off to go be with someone else like I did but I thought you forgave me for that

Gabriel: I did, im just saying, I think now that my visions clear its best to break for now, if I feel like it was a mistake later and its meant to be we can always pick up where we left off, but I feel like, its not right, I want the real thing, this isn’t my happy ending, its just a really good part of the story and I want to walk away before it becomes a part I don’t want to remember.

[blackout storyline change, commercial]

[open up on a bathroom as the camera zooms in theres blood on the floor in a little trail it leads to a leg, traveling up the leg its revealed that the blood is coming from jillian who is cutting her arms with a razor blade]

Jillian: I will be pretty [ she speaks to the mirror]

Jillian: look at you, you fat piece of shit what good are you, oh that’s right, you fuck everything and do mountains of drugs, who are you kidding your not beautiful your just a disaster in designer heels

[she drys off her arm and covers it in a bandage and covers the bandage with makeup]

Jillian: good as new

[she gets her coat grabs her purse , puts a bag of cocaine from her dresser in it zips it closed and walks out the door, she then sees Lillith in the hall outside her door]

Lillith: are you about ready? Weve been waiting downstairs for two hours now

Jillian: yeah you know just had to take care of something

Lillith: whats that on your arm? Is that blood

Jillian: yeah I had an accident with my razor while shaving, noone likes arm hair you know its alright just a little booboo we can go now

Lillith: okay then ill get the car started

[black out /commercial break]

[fade back in on the party the annual Halloween costume ball, Gabriel enters dressed as Adam( from the book of Genesis) he runs into Jordan who is dressed as ziggy stardust]

Jordan: hey you long time no see

Gabriel: how much have you had to drink? I can smell it on you

Jordan: not much

Gabriel: lead me to the supply, I need to be inebriated

Jordan: rough day huh?

Gabriel: rough life

Jordan: well im here if you want to talk

Gabriel: I cant really talk to anyone anymore, I thought I could but, noone can ever fill the void of your first love

Jordan: that sort of what I wanted to talk to you about, things seem a lot different since I moved back here

Gabriel: okay seriously do you need a trashcan or anything cause you seem pretty hammered

Jordan: no im not that drunk ive had a few but im not seeing spots or talking out of my head

Gabriel: okay explain this to me

Jordan: you don’t remember me do you?

Gabriel: of course I do your Jordan how could I forget you

Jordan: no I mean before I moved back when I used to go by my middle name

Gabriel: yeah im not getting all this perhaps I need to be intoxicated to understand it

Jordan: in good time, don’t worry just sit down with me.

Gabriel: okay

Jordan: a few weeks ago wasn’t the first time you met me, or the first time I met you I kind of wanted to tell you at the party, but I didn’t put the pieces together, I didn’t think I would fall for the same person by accident, it wasn’t until you properly introduced yourself that I even realized who you were, and then I remembered how you looked back then, times changed both of us but, I still remember you

Gabriel: are you ….. [Jordan cuts him off]

Jordan: my middle name is Brandon, surely you remember me before I moved away to California, back in eighth grade, you were my first boyfriend, back when I was still in the closet, you would fall asleep with your head on my chest everyday, we held hands under the table.

Gabriel: Oh my god

Jordan: is this all making sense to you now?

Gabriel: no wonder I felt so close to you the moment we met

Jordan: I didn’t remember until the day of the party and then I put the pieces together.

Gabriel: I was just talking about this earlier today, when I

Jordan: when what?

Gabriel: when I broke up with Andrew, of course come to think of it im not sure if we were ever officially together or not but it feels like I broke up with him

Jordan: I don’t want to come between you and Andrew

Gabriel: no I broke up with him because I only latched on to him after you left, when I was heartbroken and depressed, I thought I’d never see you again, and now I don’t even know what to call you anymore

[meanwhile something across the room grabs their attention, someone starts screaming its Lollie]

Lollie: someone come help quick, shes bleeding she’s bleeding she needs help

[Gabriel goes to run to her as hes running flashes of jillian in the bathroom cutting herself and swallowing pills, are intermittently cut in in a strobe-ing effect]

[blackout/commercial break]

[cut back in on the bathroom floor Jillian is passed out in a pool of blood Gabriel gets to her and tries frantically to wake her as the sirens come in the distance flashbacks of her experience of the dance]

[cut back to flashback of the arrival at the dance, Jillian goes to get drinks where she meets Kyle, who escorts her to the back where she gets raped and then gets up collects herself and goes to the bathroom and attempts her suicide]

[after the cops and the ambulance comes and take Jillian away that leaves, Lillith and Gabriel in the parking lot of the dance to commiserate on the hood of a car splitting a bottle of gin]

Lillith: I thought something was wrong with her this whole night and she just denied it

Gabriel: I just don’t understand why she did it, what was so wrong with her

Lilith: you know Jilli she would never tell us if something were wrong, never did, the entire time we grew up

Gabriel: is it sad this is the most time we’ve spent together since I came out why is that?

Lillith: I don’t know I think its because I secretly always had a thing for Andrew, but as we all know on that one now, you were right all along

Gabriel: yeah you can have him

Lillith: what, but isn’t he like the love of your life or something?

Gabriel: no unfortunately, I just got so caught up in thinking he was going to be my knight in shining armor that I forgot he’s just a man, he cant move mountains, cant stop a speeding train, cant tell me why im so lost, until a month ago he couldn’t even admit he was gay

Lillith: that sucks, im no better honestly, I still haven’t had a relationship worth the while, I even hooked up with a total stranger in the pool house at the last party I went to, never even got his name

Gabriel: yeah I remember my first beer too

Lillith: shut up dork!

Gabriel: I know what you mean though its hard, I just feel like I have no purpose no direction

Lillith: you’ve got to quit living in the past though

Gabriel: I don’t think im ready to yet

Lillith: why not

Gabriel: because sometimes the past is worth reliving

Lillith: im not sure I follow

Gabriel: you remember eighth grade, well my first love finally showed up again, I was too blind to even know it, I waited for him forever I finally gave up, and then Andrew was there and I fell for him because I was vulnerable and he was there he understood and it turned into this whole fucked up situation and now, I can see it for exactly what it was, but I don’t know, I always said a part of me would always be waiting for Brandon, and

Lillith: wait, wait, wait, Brandon! Since when have you spoken to Brandon?

Gabriel: ever since he moved back and started going by his first name, I didn’t even recognize him and I still was attracted to him like a moth to a flame, I wonder if that means something?

Lillith: I couldn’t tell you but id definitely say its worth….exploring

[fade out commercial break]

[opens exactly where the previous episode left off

Gabriel gets off the hood of the car as Jordan walks out of the building his back is turned to him, Gabriel checks his phone which reads “one last dance?” he turns around to see Jordan and his face lights up]

Lillith: ill uh, geez is that the time id better be off probably need to go down to the station fill out some paper work about all this have fun later

[summertime by my chemical romance begins to play as they run to meet each other across the lot and they embrace and begin to dance in one circle in the parking lot, and share one very sensuous kiss]

Episode 6 ( full episode)

[ episode six opens up on Gabriel’s bedroom, he’s lying in bed shirtless next to Jordan who just rolled over its night time, Gabriel moves Jordan’s arm from overtop of him placing it neatly and meticulously at his side, he pauses for a moment to make sure he didn’t wake him then sneaks into the living room, and gets on the computer, in the glow of the monitor he fills out his financial aid information on the computer, then looks at his handwritten list of potential schools to go to, trying to decide which one he should attend when from behind an arm goes across his chest , he looks up to see Jordan]

Gabriel: did I wake you?

Jordan: I wasn’t really sleeping

Gabriel: (sarcastic) you checking up on me?

Jordan: always

Gabriel: well I’m sorry this is exciting as it gets, at least for now

Jordan: so have you decide yet where you want to spend the rest of your life

Gabriel: ha not even close

Jordan: well I haven’t either but I really want to go to NYU

Gabriel: gross, I’d much prefer UCLA.

Jordan: well, wherever you want to go you should go

Gabriel: but I don’t want to leave you behind

Jordan: well you don’t have to we can always make a long distance relationship work

Gabriel: or we could sacrifice, I mean both offer film school, so I could make do with either

Jordan: I suppose business is business no matter what school you learn it from

Gabriel: okay, well how about a coin toss

Jordan: you want to call or should I

Gabriel: how about just heads, NYU, tails UCLA

Jordan: okay

[Gabriel picks up a quarter and flips it in the air, it lands on the desk spins out and lands on tails]

Gabriel: well looks like were going to Los Angeles

Jordan: (yawning) that’s terrific, now come back to bed

Gabriel: hold on let me pull up my email and handle all this

Jordan: you can always do that tomorrow

Gabriel: your just dying to get me out of my clothes aren’t you

Jordan: by any means necessary

[Gabriel cuts the lights out and follows Jordan back to the bedroom the door closes fade out]

[cut to the exterior of a hospital as Jillian gets into a car after exiting the rehab center]

Jillian: I really don’t see why all this has been necessary

Jillian’s mother: well dear apparently it was, recreational drug use, self mutilation, obviously your in dire need of attention, I don’t understand the frustration on your part, you got what you wanted from your little stunt

Jillian: you think this is about attention

J.M.: Jillian dear quit being a drama queen

Jillian: you have no idea what ive been through

J.M.: yes your so oppressed, and over scrutinized, you live in a luxurious house, you go to the best school available, your popular, you’ve had everything you ever wanted handed to you on a silver platter. What enormous stress you must carry on your pampered shoulders

Jillian: Mother you wouldn’t know, your never there, if someone hadn’t found me when they did I would have died, of course then maybe you would be satisfied you always make it evident how much of a drag I am on your life, ever since dad died you haven’t spent anytime with me other than when I get in trouble, I could break into seizures in front of you and I doubt you wouldn’t even bat an eyelash, you spend so much time hitting the bottle im surprised you even came to pick me up today instead of calling a cab.

[Jillian’s mom slaps her across the face]

J.M.: now that’s enough, I have given you everything, my youth my life, my figure, before you came along I could fit through the eyehole of a needle now I can barely squeeze into a size two, but I wanted a daughter. I should have aborted you then maybe we’d both be happy

[Jillian opens the door to the car and the driver stops she gets out and starts walking]

J.M.: Jillian get in the car this instant

Jillian: I’ll find my own way home

[the car speeds off screeching its tires, Jillian breaks down and starts to cry as she does she swallows a pill from a bottle she has concealed in her purse and lights up a cigarette, fade out on her as she weeps]

[the next day at lunch]

Jillian: rehab was terrible, but the psych ward was worse

Lolliee: what made you do it

[lillith smacks lolliee in the back of the head for being insensitive, Jillian gets up and leaves and walks into the girls room and locks the door, Lillith follows her]

Lolliee: what did I say

Selena: a little tact would be nice Lolliee she just got out yesterday she needs time to heal, I cant stand the girl, and even Im not mean enough to rub salt in that fresh wound

Lolliee: do you know what happened?

Selena: yes I keep tabs on everyone around me at Francis Academy, of course I don’t know what caused it, although I blame the drug portion on peer pressure, but if I did I wouldn’t tell you, your like the national inquirer, Jesus

Lolliee: I cant help it

Selena: I know, but try to be a little more common sense honey

[the intercom comes on in the lunch room]

Voiceover: Selena Carter please report to administration

Lolliee: what did you do

Selena: not shit

Lolliee: ooh, someone framed you up

Selena: shut up its probably something stupid, my guess is its another complaint about my speakers from that cunt Heidi Donaldson who parks next to me

[Selena Walks out of the lunchroom as she walks by through the hallway she passes a partition camera cuts to the other side of the partition where Lillith is trying to convince Jillian to talk to her]

Lillith: come on Jilli-bean Lolliee is an airhead she didn’t mean to upset you

Jillian: im sorry its not you guys its just [she’ starts sobbing uncontrollably]

Lillith: Jilli will you please unlock the door

[the door unlocks Lillith enters and locks it behind her]

Jillian: I cant deal with this [she takes a pill out of her purse and swallows it]

Lillith: jilli honey I though you got clean while you were in rehab

Jillian: no rehab was a waste of time, the doctors don’t understand what my problem is, I need something to numb me

Lillith: honey what happened

Jillian: its everything its my mother its my head, and the dance … oh god the dance

Lillith: honey did something happen to you at the dance you can tell me

Jillian: I haven’t told anyone, what happened, noone can know

Lillith : Jilli what happened

Jillian: I was in the alleyway, throwing up from all the jagermeister I drank, ive been in a dark place for a while, and there was this guy, he kept placing his hands on my head at first it was comforting as if someone gave a damn,

Lillith: what did he look like

Jillian: he was looking for you, and he kept calling me some stupid pet name, and then he started moving his hand up my thigh , and I was to in pain to move I kept telling him no, no

Lillith: Jilli…

Jillian: he forced me, he pushed me up against a table, and all I could do was lay there, and after he was done he just left, and I felt so worthless and I made it to the bathroom and I locked the door and I just wanted the pain to go away I wanted to forget and I just kept swallowing pills and I kept hearing this voice in my head telling me to keep going, and I finally got to the point where I was so gone I couldn’t feel anything and I started to cut myself and I just kept going deeper and deeper and I couldn’t feel it, it was like tickling I could just see the blood coming out, I blacked out after that. I haven’t told anyone up until now, not even the doctors

Lillith: Jillian, you cant carry that weight all on your own

[Jillian collapses into Lilliths arms and breaks down completely/ fade out commercial break]

[open back up on the office]

Principle: come in Selena

Selena: okay before you say anything, Heidi is the one who comes in blaring that god awful country music and..

Principle: no, no, your not in trouble Selena, but it is important the reason for which I called you up here

Selena: okay whats this about then

Principle: as you know Francis, is a private school and we have certain tuition requirements, it seems your family’s income is no longer sufficient to carry on with your education here, I wish I didn’t have to tell you this but you’ll have to transfer to another school next month unless a miracle happens in the meantime and you’ll have to graduate from a public school, you wont be graduating with your class here at Francis.

[black out end of episode]

Episode 7 (full episode)

[episode 7 opens up where episode six left off]

Selena: so theres nothing I can do prom is two weeks away, im supposed to be in the play I have all this shit going on, the first year im actually involved and your telling me I can stay to the end of it I have to leave two months before everyone else.

Principle: I’m sorry Selena but policy is policy its out of my hands

[Selena gets up and storms out, she goes to the bathroom and walks in a few minutes after Jillian has stopped crying shes fixing her makeup and starts to cry a little bit]

Lillith: Oh god, this school is starting to look like a used car lot, everything’s breaking down

Selena: ill be fine, im sorry, its just so frustrating

Lillith: whats got you down

Selena: I don’t want to talk about it

Lillith: trust me it cant be as bad as what ive heard already today

Selena: im getting kicked out

Lillith: what did you do!

Selena: why does everyone say that?

Lillith: sorry

Selena: im not getting expelled, my dad he lost a lot of money when the stock market took that downturn, and now our income isn’t enough to meet the tuition requirements, and I have to the end of the month, its just so bad because I finally started to fit in here, and im so close to graduating and a diploma with good grades from here means being able to go anywhere in the country to go to college and now everything I’ve worked for is pretty much sullied

Lillith: oh is there any way you can stay

Selena: yeah if a miracle happens and I somehow make enough money to pay for the next two months of tuition so I can graduate but I doubt that will happen, well I have to go im late for my internship

[she walks out and the camera fades out]

[open up on Lolliees house, Lillith  and Lolliee are sitting on her couch talking]

Lillith: so Lolliee you like Selena right

Lolliee: are you kidding I love that girl, she makes me laugh from a dark place

Lillith: good, because I don’t want to lose her either, you know what makes you feel good on the inside

Lolliee: im not going with you and selena to the soup kitchen if that’s what this is about

Lillith: no honey, we need to help Selena make enough money to afford tuition for the last two months of school or she wont be able to graduate with us

Lolliee: umm sounds good in theory but in reality we don’t have jobs

Lillith: what’s the quickest and funnest way to make money

Lolliee: we can’t do a bikini carwash, we don’t have the space and we don’t have permits, I have enough trouble with the cops as is for speeding I’m not trying to see them any more than I already do

Lillith: I was thinking more fun for both sexes

Lolliee: hey I don’t know about you but depending on how well you work a sponge or a hose it could end up being fun for you in more ways than one

Lillith: we should have a rent party, your parents are out of town this weekend

Lolliee: my parents are out of town every weekend, but I don’t want a bunch of drunk bitches getting layed in my bed, unless one of those drunk bitches is me and how am I gonna do that if im playing host

Lillith: well we could always do it at my house with my crazy mother

Lolliee: so you wanna come over at seven thirty to help me set up?

Lillith: yeah, wait a second, can we have a party, with what happened to Jillian recently

Lolliee: we can always make it a clean house party, no drugs no booze just grinding and grunting if you know what I mean

Lillith: good idea, but whatever we do we cant invite that creepy guy with the buzz cut that got arrested for pot at the dance, he just got out, and its just a big no

Lolliee: alright but you gotta help me pass out flyers

[frame cut, to Lillith and Lolliee passing out flyers in school the next day and putting them on peoples windshields/cut to Gabriel and Jordan in the car]

Gabriel: hey do you want to go to a party, first party together, without Andrew being a competition

Jordan: I cant

Gabriel: why not?

Jordan: I made a promise to myself a long time ago

Gabriel: oh come on pull yourself out of the convent frauline Maria, have some fun besides I want to flaunt you

Jordan: do you remember how quickly I moved? Well after I moved I was getting into a bad place and My dad pulled me out of school because I was getting involved with drugs and heavily drinking, it wasn’t so much the drugs as the booze, I was becoming a blackout drunk, I got alcohol poisoning one night and my dad had had enough and put me into rehab, and it took a long road to recovery to finally change my life and I just got sober for good, I had a relapse not long ago after having just a few drinks and I ended up taking some things I probably shouldn’t have and I decided I shouldn’t drink if its going to make me more easy to influence

Gabriel: I had no idea, but you don’t have to worry the word with the girls is it’s a clean hose party, a rent party to help out my friend Selena who I love, who’s going to not be able to graduate with us if we don’t help her out, come on boo, im a popular guy around here if I go to the party more people will go, the more people go the better please

Jordan: okay ill go, we’ll go now shut up and kiss me

[black out commercial break]

[open back up on the party everyone shows up quite a few people show up in a truck with kegs]

Lolliee: we are so gonna get busted

Lillith: oh fuck, I thought you put on the flyer it was a clean party

Lolliee: no, no I did not

Lillith: why not!

Lolliee: because ….. I forgot

Lillith: you forgot

Lolliee: noone would want to come to a party where theres not booze but I figured hey maybe noone will bring anything thinking its supplied

Lillith: are you stupid, I bring a fifth to every party I go to just in case I don’t like whats supplied

Lolliee: well I didn’t think they’d bring a whole beer truck

[a drunk girl walks up to them and hands them a bottle of schnapps]

Drunk girl: heres my house warming gift, I don’t have any cash

Lillith: thanks its cool go ahead in, enjoy yourself

Lolliee: and there goes our profits

Lillith: this isn’t for profit anyway this is charity, besides, the guys in the beer truck gave me twenty a person, apparently they are either in a generous mood or cant count when theyre plastered but just to be safe lets go ahead and take keys from those guys

[Gabriel and Jordan are sitting on the couch inside and a few guys walk up to them with a tray of shots]

Jordan: I thought you said this was gonna be a clean party

Gabriel: it was supposed to be I don’t know what happened, do you want to leave

Jordan: no im fine, I don’t have to drink to have fun at a party especially when im with you

[ a guy offers them drinks]

Gabriel: no were good

Jordan: hey, don’t let me spoil your fun

Gabriel: I don’t feel right drinking in front of you I feel like im taunting you

Jordan: no not at all, it’d be weird if you didn’t

Gabriel: alright, alright bring me a shot

[after a little time has passed a lot of people are playing beer pong and a group of people including Lolliee, her chosen boy of the night Gabriel, Jordan, Lillith, and a few other people are standing in a circle playing “Suck and Blow” a game where you try to pass a credit card from mouth to mouth in a circle and if you drop it you have to kiss the person who passed it to you it starts going in a circle pretty well]

Gabriel: aww you guys suck at this

Jordan: I cant help it I cant get good suction

Gabriel: that’s a first

[it passes another round lots of people keep dropping it but when it finally gets to Gabriel again he gets it and passes it to the guy beside him who is Lolliees love interest of the night and it falls between them]

Group: do it do it

Gabriel: really you guys, really

John: come on dude im down if you are, besides im driving tonight , and house rule is five shots if you punk out, and ive already had enough

Gabriel: I have a boyfriend this is so wrong

John: im straight whats your point

Jordan: come on Gabe its just a game I don’t mind

Lolliee: shut up and suck face already so I can drop it next

[they kiss and it goes a little too far]

Gabriel: alright start that shit up again, round six, whats wrong with everyone

Lolliee: I said kiss him not seduce him

Jordan: jesus Gabriel do you think you used enough tongue

Gabriel: sorry you guys were the ones who convinced me, besides I warned you im like jeckel and hyde when im drunk as in hide your kids hide your wife, its just a game it didn’t mean anything

Lolliee: whatever just start it over fuck it

[they go through another few rounds and it drops once again between john and Gabriel and Gabriel leans in for another kiss and john (who has had a few drinks kisses with tongue again)]

Lolliee: okay that’s enough this game sucks

Jordan: you know what guys im going to leave

Lolliee: well congratulations Gabriel, you turned another one queer

[Gabriel goes after lolliee Jordan has already left Lolliee slaps him, Gabriel grabs a bottle and drains it and sits on the couch the party rages on after a few hours have passed [ to show passage of time use the watch shot] people are leaving and john comes back very inebriated and sits down on the couch next to Gabriel who is also hammered]

Gabriel: oh its you again

John: yeah whats the matter with Lolliee she’s pissed off, im not getting anywhere with that tonight

Gabriel: sorry about that, my boyfriend left me here, and im too drunk to drive

John: (laughing) me too

Gabriel: (slurring slightly) I thought you said you were straight, you don’t kiss straight

John: thank you I try, technically im bi it just depends on the day and what im drinking

Gabriel: you sound like Andrew, I miss Andrew but not that much

John: wait, wait, wait, im having a thought bubble here, your boyfriend left, im pretty sure lolliee has moved on to someone else tonight, your gay , im bi ….theres a bedroom next to the kitchen…. And im drunk as hell

Gabriel: im not going to sleep with you

John: noone said anything about sleeping

[he gets up and pulls Gabriel off the couch and Gabriel follows him to the bedroom, they begin to disrobe and touching each other and making out]

Gabriel: wait wait, I cant, I cant do this, im going to regret this in the morning anyway I cant make it worse

John: oh come on, im striking out all over here, the girls don’t want me , the boys don’t want me what am I doing wrong

Gabriel: you need sleep

John: don’t leave me, I wont try anything just I really don’t want to be alone, im drunk and depressed now don’t walk out on me

[Gabriel lays back and john and he lie there on the bed and the camera fades to black for a few seconds and fades back in , the room is now dark, close up on Gabriel’s face as his eyes open he looks to his side to see john asleep and he sneaks out of the room picking up his shirt on the way out to the couch where a bunch of stoners are still at]

Stoner: hey man can I bum a smoke

Gabriel: sure I don’t care

[Gabriel fumbles through his phone and begins texting a message to Mary momentarily forgetting that she’s “dead”]

Text: I really miss you, I need you, I don’t know what to do, I feel like my life is in a tailspin for the worst, I may have ruined the best thing that ever happened to me, I almost lost a friend to suicide, and I honestly don’t know what I want to do with the rest of my life, I hate that your not around to help me

[his phone vibrates as he passes out on the couch zoom in on the screen on his phone that says new text message from Mary. To be continued in episode 8]

Episode 8 (full episode)

[episode 8 opens up as Gabriel arrives home still a little  drunk but mostly hungover he’s having flashbacks from the night before he looks in the bedroom and can’t find Jordan he pulls out his phone and calls him]

Jordan: (coldly) hello?

Gabriel: hey its me

Jordan: are you sure?

Gabriel: what are you talking about

Jordan: I don’t know it just seems like you don’t even know who you are lately

Gabriel: im sorry, I wasn’t going to drink, if you recall you were the one who said “it’d be weird if you didn’t”, im sorry I got out of control

Jordan: are you just getting home

Gabriel: yeah why aren’t you here

Jordan: I wanted to sleep in my own bed

Gabriel: are you mad at me?

Jordan: yes

Gabriel: im sorry, I don’t know how to say im sorry, I’m a completely different person when im drinking, that’s why I don’t drink much, I woke up next to someone else and all I could think about is how badly I screwed up, I don’t even know how I got there

Jordan: did you sleep with him?

Gabriel: I don’t remember I don’t remember anything past when you left, because I was hurt and drank it all away, all I know is I would much rather have woke up next to you

Jordan: I think we should cool things down for a while, I don’t think you’re ready to be totally committed yet and that’s okay, I just think we need some time apart, goodbye.

[he hangs up the phone, and Gabriel sits down and pulls out his pack of cigarettes and finds a half smoked short, he lights it up and sits back and takes a few drags the camera starts to film over a little bit and the room swirls as we look from P.O.V. Gabriel stands up to go to the fridge, he starts to stumble and falls down knocking over chairs and breaking the glass coffee table, the camera fades in and out and finally goes to black for a few seconds coming back in from a high angle as Audrey (Gabriel’s mother) walks in to find him collapsed in the floor she calls 911 and waits as the camera fades out once again, and comes back in on the hospital zooming out from close up on Gabriel’s eyes opening as he listens in on the Doctor talking to Audrey in the hall]

Doctor: we just got the toxicology report back

Audrey: whats wrong with him doctor

Doctor: does your son have any history of using recreational drugs mam?

Audrey: no, never, Gabriels never done any drugs, he smokes and he drinks from time to time but that’s it, he’s never even tried pot.

Doctor: we found traces of tetrathyazine  and p.c.p. in his system as well as crystal meth, do you have any idea how that got in his system?

Audrey: well he was at a party the night before.

Doctor: I see do you think he took them there

Audrey: no, Gabriel doesn’t take anything offered to him, although he did have a cigarette still burning in the ash tray when I found him, I smelled very odd, not like usual smoke smells

Doctor: its very possible someone laced it, that’s very popular among drug users, its very common, especially when theres not a pipe present in which to smoke the drugs in

Audrey: he does let people bum smokes off him from time to time

Doctor: I think that may be what we have here, I think hes going to be alright, he’s detoxing, but were going to need to keep him overnight for observation just to make sure he’s alright sometimes heavy drugs tend to take a while to work there way out of the system and he can possibly experience the effects in waves while they are being filtered out.

Audrey: okay doctor

Doctor: you should go home and get some rest, we can have him released tomorrow

[black out/ storyline change]

[open back up on Lilliths house during the day she comes in the front door after school to see a bunch of moving boxes in the living room]

Lillith: MOTHER! What’s with the boxes?

Lillith’s mom: I just called the realtor today theres a wonderful place all lined up in the next county, were getting out of this hell hole of a town

Lilith: I don’t want to move mother, im not going to move, im about to graduate and I have prom and im not going to let you ruin this for me, for gods sake

Lillith’s mom: its because of you were moving anyway, you and your big mouth , having parties making a spectacle of yourself, do you have any idea what kind of scrutiny that puts me under, how that makes me look

Lillith: how it makes you look, your full of shit, take your medicine, I think you’ve gone a little over board, put the boxes away because we’re staying

[as she goes up the stairs Lilliths mother grabs her and pulls her by the shirt and throws her into the wall]

Lilliths mom: you listen to me young lady, I own you, everything you do, you will listen to me, or I will make your life hell, do you understand me, now you go upstairs and pack your things up, everything but the furniture, were moving in a week, we need to get ready

Lillith: fuck you!

[she runs upstairs and locks the door, then goes out the window, and out to her car, while her mother is banging on the door, she drives out to her dads house/storyline break/commercial]

[open back up on Gabriel in the hospital waking up experiencing the effects of the drugs again while they process , he gets out of his bed and begins to wander around, he makes his way down to the morgue, and discovers Mary’s toe tag, as well as a couple of footprints, leading to the emergency exit, he looks around goes out the door, and finds the remains of a map book, and starts to look around the woods behind the hospital, when the orderlies come out and grab him taking him back to his room ( during this the camera needs to be very shakey and make it look dreamy) he lies down and goes to sleep and as he does the camera zooms in on his eyelid until its black and zooms out again the lights are out, the camera zooms out further until the eyelids open and then further showing Mary’s face, she starts to thrash wildly and then realizes she’s in the meet locker, the door is slightly ajar, she pushes it open, and pulls with her hands until her arm is out, then pushes herself the rest of the way, she rolls off the table, pulls off her toe tag, and looks down at herself, to realize she’s nude, she grabs a labcoat off the coat rack in the room throwing it on her naked body, and hears the voices, she rummages through the drawers in a medical cart, until she finds a map book, she looks through it, she finds the page she’s looking for, circles her location and makes her way along the lines of a river, until she finds an intersection where its close to the highway, she plots out a path to her house, and then cautiously opens the door, and escapes from the emergency door, and runs out dropping what’s left of the book after she ripped her page out behind her, and running into the wood/the camera falls back and slowly zooms in on the darkness in the woods, as it zooms out of the blackness the darkness becomes eyelids once more and zooms further out to reveal Gabriel’s face, as his eyes open and he shoots up having just dreamed the present scenario black out commercial]

[open back up on Lillith as she’s driving pulling up on her mom’s house to get her stuff, she pulls around the back of the house, police cars are omnipresent as she’s driving she’s getting an eerie feeling as if she’s driving right into a mouse trap, she arrives and climbs up on the rose trellis to her second story window, climbing up onto the awning, she opens up the window and crawls through it, pausing for a moment trying to remember if she closed it when she left or not, the room is dark she goes to the closet and suddenly from behind she hears a match strike as her mom behind in the rocking chair lights up a cigarette]

Lillith’s mom: home sweet home, you know honey I think your gonna love your new room, its very grey lots of bars, and it comes with a room mate

Lillith: what are you doing here

Lillith’s mom: didn’t you think I knew you were going to be back, and here you are, after all ive done for you, here you are robbing me blind

Lillith: im getting my stuff

Lillith’s mom: unfortunately the police wont look at it that way, they should be here in about two minutes, possession is nine tenths of the law, not to mention, everything in this room was payed for via my checkbook

Lillith: yeah from dads child support, [she grabs a box and makes it downstairs] aren’t you going to hit me or tell me how I cant do this to you, what are you playing at , why aren’t you trying to stop me?

Lillith’s mom: no, take what you need I’ll even let you use the front door, lets just see how far you get before you need me, my guess is about five feet

Lillith: im calling your bluff [she walks out the front door on the lawn and from the side she’s knocked to the ground and placed in handcuffs, lillith’s mother walks out onto the lawn]

Lillith’s mom: I caught her trying to break in upstairs officer, take her away

[Lillith is taken to the squad car and hauled away, and taken through processing for breaking and entering her mug shot is taken and it’s the last shot of the episode]
