Jacob: You’ve been here? Did you lose your husband also?

Hannah: Oh, no. It’s probably my mom. We lost her 5 years ago.

(Ethan looks at Jacob and goes near him)

(Push some things)

Ethan: YOU! You killed her!

Jacob: Please Ethan, can we stop this?

Ethan: STOP THIS?! Well then where is she?! She’s probably in your arms when she died!

Jacob: Please Ethan.

Ethan: Please stop this?! Did you do anything for her to live?! Or to survive that freaking accident you made?! You did nothing! You want her to die! You just let her die!

Jacob: I want her to die? Do you think I want this? Do you think this is easy for me? I’ve been with her for 4 years! It’s not easy to forget all what we had!

(Ethan about to hit Jacob when Eunice came)

Eunice: Ethan, please! Stop it now! This isn’t going to cause any good results!

Ethan: I don’t care what will happen! I need justice for her!

Glenn: (SHOUTS) stop it both of you! Do you think Kristine will be happy seeing us like this?! Blaming each other?! It was no one’s fault! So stop it!

Hannah: (Smiling) Why?

Brian: Hannah, do you love me?

Hannah: What kind of question is that, honey? You know I love you so much!

Brian: Oh this is going to be hard Hannah. We’ve been together for 4 years right now. You’re my college crush and I’m so happy the day you were mine. But things are just so out of reach. I am in love with someone else. And I want to end up with you.

Hannah: What?! Why? What’s wrong?! Honey, please!

Brian: I’m so sorry Hannah. I can’t be like this anymore. I can’t pretend to love you if I don’t do anymore. I’m sorry I’d fallen out of love for you.

Hannah: Brian, I can’t take this! I love you so much to let you go this easy!

Brian: I’m sorry but I can’t continue this. Let’s break up.

Hannah: No! We got a wedding 2 months from now! We can’t cancel all of that!

Hannah: Brian, please!

(Brian stands up ready to leave)

(Hannah stands up and holds him)

Hannah: Honey! I’m sure we can talk about this!

Althea: Sister, please stop it. Leah, stop giving her!

Leah: Well, I can do nothing about it. Here, take all of this (Hand over the beers) and make sure after that, you’ll remove all the hatred and pain inside you.

(Hannah puts out the beer she’s holding)

(Leah sat down)

Leah: Hannah, move on.

Hannah: It’s been a while now. But I can still feel so much pain.

Leah: I know. I can see that.

Hannah: He’s like my life.

Leah: But you’re probably not he’s.

Hannah: Why dare you hurt me?

Leah: For you to realize he don’t deserve your love. That there is someone there who won’t hurt you and love you no matter what. And you did push him away already! There’s no turning back. You choose that.
