JENNY AND SHANE’S HOUSE – NIGHT / OUTSIDE & INSIDE

Shane parks her truck in the driveway. She stops the engine but stays in the truck, remembering herself all the evening events. An hour later, she finally gets out of her truck and walks to the house. She walks the alley and sits on the porch. She looks at the sky, it’s a beautiful night, the sky is clean and we can see the stars, a tear fall from her right eye. She closes her eyes and put her head between her knees. She stays there for at least 30 minutes, then after she gets up, unlocks the door and gets inside. She puts her bag on the table and goes in the fridge. She opens the door, take a bottle of water and closes the door. She looks at the house, everything is plunge in the dark, the house is so empty. She opens the bottle of water and take a mouthful. She puts the bottle of water on the counter. She puts her hands on the counter on each side of the sink, she take a deep breathe. She looks out the window, everything is so quiet and peaceful outside. She grabs her bottle of water and takes an other mouthful. She starts crying again.

IN THE MEANTIME IN JENNY’S ROOM / HOSPITAL

Marina sits on Jenny’s side and take her hand. Tears comes out her eyes.

BACK TO JENNY AND SHANE’S HOUSE

Shane walks to her bedroom then changes her mind and goes in Jenny’s room. She opens the door, everything is perfect in that room, everything is at the place it’s suppose to be, the bed is done. Shane enters slowly in the room, like if it was a baby’s room and she doesn’t want to wake the baby up. She follows the wall and stops in front of the bed. She looks at the bed, then she leans on the wall behind her. She’s silently crying. She totally put her back against the wall then slides down the wall. She’s all bent on herself. She crosses her arms and put them on her knees. She puts her head between her arms and cries. She’s crying and crying. Nothing can stop her. She murmurs “Jenny” again and again. After a while, she finally falls asleep, she leans on the side and sleeps.

IN THE MEANTIME IN JENNY’S ROOM / HOSPITAL

As Shane falls asleep, Jenny, lying on her hospital bed, breathes her last breathe. The electrocardiogram line becomes flat, a “beeeeep” sound emerges from Jenny’s room. Marina hold Jenny’s hand, and kisses it; her tears are falling and falling. She realises what’s going on, and takes a deep breathe and screams

Marina : NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo.
