Act I :: Scene II

Setting: The hospital. Kristin is hooked up to several machines; she is in a coma. Alex, Cora, and Casey are in the waiting room; Alex is sitting in a chair, Cora is leaning against a wall, and Casey is pacing back and forth. All look distressed.

Casey:
This is crap! We can't just sit here and let her be unconscious! Aren't either of you guys worried about her at all?!

Cora: [growls, gets in Casey's face]
You think I'm not worried?! This is all your fault! Had you not--

Casey: [voice escalating]
My fault?! Really?! Do we have to blame anyone?!--

[The two began a heated argument, until Alex stands up]

Alex:
Enough! Guys, we're not helping anything here by pointing fingers and letting our dislike of one another get in the way. Our friend is lying in a coma. It sucks, but all we can do is wait to hear what's going to happen so let's just sit down and be mature about this. Alright?

[Cora and Casey look at him, then glance at each other and begin fighting again. Alex sighs and sits back down, mindlessly playing with his phone or iPod Touch. A doctor walks in after about 5 minutes.]

Doctor: [looks at Cora and Casey, who are still arguing. Then approaches Alex]
Are you here for...

Alex: [stands up and walks over to Doctor]
Is she going to be alright?

Doctor:
Well, kid, I'm not going to lie. It was touch and go for a while there, and she's still in a coma--

Alex: [agitated]
Will she be alright?

Doctor: [sighs]
In time. Right now, the stress of the accident and the surrounding elements of which she has put herself [glances at Cora and Casey] are causing her brain to be dormant, but she is still alive. I'd give it about...well, there is no period of time I could give this. Now are any of you related to her?

Alex:
No, sir, we're all just friends.

Casey: [stops arguing]
Actually, I'm her boyfriend.

Alex: [rolls eyes, mumbles]
Always a one-up guy...

Casey: [snarls at Alex, then to Doctor]
Is there anything--anything at all, that we could do for her?

Doctor:
Just stay by her side. When she wakes up, there is a good chance she won't remember much about herself. You could help her.

Alex:
Don't worry, sir. We will.

Doctor:
Excellent. [pager beeps] Ah, another trauma. I'll be checking in with all of you again in a few days with her progress.

Alex, Cora, Casey: [in unison]
Thank you.

[Doctor walks away. Casey sighs, placing his hands behind his head. Cora sits against a wall. Alex sits in a chair, staring at the ground]

[END SCENE II]

Act I :: Scene I

Setting: Kristin, Alex, & Cora are in Alex's car; on their way to see Casey. The 3 are laughing, pointing, etc. at random objects.

Kristin: [voice-over]
I always knew my friends loved me. With every stupid decision I made they continued to stand by me and if it failed they were there to pick me back up. We all knew Casey wasn't right for me. I mean, let's face it: he was too tall, spent most--if not, all--his money on Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and he has the tendency to get angry really easily. So why was I with him? Maybe you should ask my heart that question, but for right now it's Alex's first time ever meeting my tall, Yu-Gi-Oh playing, Fedora-wearing, blue-eyed boyfriend.

[Alex stops car in front of Casey's house, where Casey is standing, looking annoyed. Kristin rolls her eyes, gets out of car, and approaches Casey. Cora gets out of the car, walks over to Alex's window, lights up a cigarette, and crouches down to see Alex through the window ::NOTE:: Cora is 6'5".]

Cora: [to Alex]
This, could take a while.

Kristin: [voice-over, while she and Casey are screaming at each other, having a very heated conversation]
Of course me and Casey had to fight today; it seemed to be a pattern of ours. We'd get together, be lovey-dovey for a week or so, then one of us would find a flaw in the other and that'd be that. This seemed to be what was going to happen now, especially when Casey said-

Casey: [to Kristin, who's crying]
That's it! I'm done!
[starts to walk away]

Kristin: [voice-over]
But not this time.

[Kristin chases after Casey. Casey goes through a gated fence and closes the gate door. Kristin screams and jumps over the gate door, her foot slips, she falls to the ground, slamming her head onto the pavement, and cannot get up. Casey yells "HELP!", Cora & Alex rush over, Cora shrieks, Alex gets down next to Kristin's body and begins poking her. In this time, Casey has already called 911 and the ambulance shows up, takes her body, leaving Casey, Cora, & Alex to stare at the place where Kristin fell]
