AUDITION SIDES FOR “THE DIARY”
SCENE 3 – INT. Luke’s house
Allie and Luke are sitting on the couch talking
Luke:
If you have a feeling that he’s cheating then why are you just coming to me expecting me to do something? He’s your boyfriend.
Allie:
Because I really need help on what to say. I can’t just call him out on it and say it straight out that he’s cheating on me. And to be honest, I really don’t want to think that he is.
Luke:
Well, you need evidence then.
Allie:
How do I find evidence?
Luke:
It’s the 21st century, Allie. There’s this thing called “social media”.
Allie:
I know I’m not an idiot.
Luke:
Well, when was the last time you checked his?
Allie:
I don’t know, maybe last week.
Luke:
Why so long ago? Aren’t you suspicious?
Allie:
Of course I am, but I don’t want to see that its true, so I figured just not looking at it would keep me happier.
Luke:
I know you want you to be happy, and I want you to be happy, but avoiding it isn’t going to solve this.
Luke takes Allie’s phone and unlocks it
Allie:
I really don’t want t---
Luke:
Trust me, you do.
Luke goes on Allie’s Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat and looks up in confusion
Allie:
What? What is it?
Luke:
Um, I was trying to find a nice way to say this but, Luke blocked you on everything.
Allie:
No way he would do that to me.
Luke:
Allie, stop being in denial. Open your eyes.
Allie:
Fine.
Luke:
Let me check mine.
Allie waits patiently, anxious
Luke:
Gosh…
Allie:
Luke don’t even say it. Don’t even tell me I’m only going to be even more upset and I really don’t want---
Luke:
He’s with Lily.
Allie:
Lily doesn’t go to school with Luke and besides they dated two years ago.
Luke:
From these pictures, it’s clear that they reconnected.

So she transferred and now they’re a...
Luke:
...couple yeah.

I’m sorry.

Say it. Say I told you so. Say you told me before he went away to college he was gonna do this to me.
Luke pulls Allie into a hug
Luke:
I would never say that.
Allie cries into Luke’s shoulder
Allie:
I’m gonna go home...
Luke:
Why? You’re just gon---
Allie:
I’m alone either way it doesn’t matter.

It does matter. Stay here.
Allie:
No I’m done!

I can handle this Luke.
(glares back to Jacob)
Please just go back to college or home or wherever you should be.

Not without putting up a fight for you.

Allie:
Seriously, stop.

You’re going to regret this.

You can’t just walk into my house!

Allie:
What?
Luke:
Allie, Jacob doesn’t deserve you. You’re an incredible girl and any guy would be lucky to have you. I know this sucks now but I promise you it gets better. And if it could start with me taking you out, that would be an amazing start because Allie I care about you so much and I could never imagine my life without you. There’s nothing I want more than for me and you to be more than friends.
Allie stands in shock.
Luke:
Trust me. Like you always have.

I do.
