Chapter 8
David's room - morning
Shelby wakes up late and turns over, David's gone. She gets up and looks around his room, next to his bed is a book shelf packed full with books, she takes one out and looks at it.
Shelby: Army books, jeez. (She looks at the spine of the thick book, it has no creases in it, David's obviously never even opened it, let alone read it. She hears the door open and jumps guilty.)
David: What are you doing?
Shelby: (sarcastically) Just looking at your wonderful book collection. Where were you?
David: What are you my parol officer? (Shelby glares at him) You can leave now!
Shelby: God, you don't have to be so rude.
David: Yeh well you didn't take the hint.
Shelby: What hint! (David sighs and walks out. Shelby yells after him) Asshole!
(Alice walks past and Shelby goes red.) Hi mum. (Shelby walks out, closing David's door behind her.)
Alice: Is everything alright? If he's giving you a hard time, I'll get Rob to talk to him, set him straight.
Shelby: (smiling) No, its fine. Just a sibling fight, you know.
Alice: Ok, speaking of siblings, Jess is coming back from camp today.
Shelby: (walking into the kitchen.) Ok, cool.
(David is doing the dishes.)
Shelby: (to David) Wow, he's domesticated (David looks up, but not at her, she turns around.)
Robert: Of course he is; it's the one thing he can actually do. (To Shelby) You're late.
Shelby: Huh?
Robert: Breakfast was an hour ago.
Shelby: Oh, I slept in.
Robert: Yes, well in future make sure you wake up in time. (He walks out)
Shelby: Ok.

Horizon - outside
Juliette and Brad are sitting down on the grass.
Juliette: So, what did you do to get in here?
Brad: Be independent.
Juliette: Huh?
Brad: I moved out.
Juliette: Why?
Brad: Sick of the old man's games.
Juliette: What games?
Brad: Pretending he was upset me mum was dead.
Juliette: (surprised) He wasn't?
Brad: Nuh, he probably would've killed her eventually anyway.
Juliette: Did he used to hit her?
Brad: Yeh.
Juliette: (nervous) What about you?
Brad: Nuh, he wouldn't dare, he knows I'd have smacked him one.
Juliette: Oh. (Brad leans in closer to kiss her)
Brad: Let's talk no more 'ey? (Kissing her)
