INT.HOUSE.AFTERNOON
A family sits having a barbecue.
FADE OVER TO a photograph of a male soldier on the mantel. Doorbell rings. FADE OVER TO a woman heading to the door. She answers it and men in uniform are standing there with a letter. CUT TO black.
WORDS
What would you do,
if in one day
your future was
changed forever?
FADE TO the woman dropping the opened letter and falling to her knees. The men in suits walk away. FADE TO an elderly woman walking over. She stares at the woman and puts a hand on her shoulder.
ELDERLY
WOMAN
What's the matter,
Sue?
CUT TO black.
SUE V/O
(Sad/Shocked)
Adam's dead…

Would you give up
hope?
FADE TO Sue sitting in a corner she has a knife in front of her. Her hand reaches out to the knife. FADE TO black.

continue to hope?

She hasn't
eaten for days, Mrs. Rain
CUT TO Sue studying in class solemnly.

She needs help…she
needs to
come to terms with
his death…
CUT TO black.
SUE V/O
He's not dead…
CUT TO Adam lying on a riverbank unconscious. A shadow towers over him. FADE TO Adam staring into a fire, a blanket is wrapped around him. The guy walks over and sits down. CLOSE UP of Adam.
GUY
Where do you come
from?
CUT TO black.
ADAM V/O
I don't know…
CUT TO Sue crying in her bedroom. She mopes around depressed.

You keep saying
'Sue' in your
sleep, who is she?
FLASHES of Sue and Adam spending time with each other.
ADAM
I wish I could
remember…
CUT TO black.
WORDS
This summer…
CUT TO Sue running down the road. CUT TO Adam jumping out of the way of an explosion. CUT TO Sue staring at the stars. CUT TO Adam making his way through a jungle, he looks up at the stars.
ADAM V/O
I'm going to make
it back!
I promised her I
would!
FADE TO the college football stadium. Sue is on her knees crying as it rains. PAN OVER to Adam standing in the middle of the field with a military bag slung over his shoulder. FADE TO black.
SUE V/O
Come back…

MUSIC: Ends
A/N: Part of a book I'm making to annoy my friends. He-he...but this scene in my head came to me so I did my best to put it in "script" form. Ugh! Well it's more like "trailer" form, I guess. Hoped you liked it!
