(Scene changes into Linda's house) Linda is drinking some Chai tea and just
sitting down to meditate. She folds her legs and assumes the Lotus
position, trying to clear her mind. She is interrupted by visions of Andy
kissing her and Amy yelling at her father and Amy being lost in New York.
With her eyes still closed, you see Linda's eyebrow furrow in emotion and
she gets up, unable to concentrate.
(the scene changes into Dr. Brown fixing the sign outside of his office) He
thinks about Linda and the kiss and helping her move and her rejecting with
him. He gets down off the ladder and sees Linda park her car and walk into
her office without saying a word to him.
Linda walks in to her office and sits down to fill out paper work. She
works and looks at the clock (time changes each time about an hour, but it
goes very slowly and she continually looks). At noon Dr. Abbot enters the
room to get his sister for lunch.
HAROLD: So are you going to take a break and go for lunch?
LINDA: No, I'm pretty busy. I've got a 1 o'clock and a 3 o'clock, plus all
of these patient information forms to fill out.
HAROLD: Ok, just make sure you take a break.
Shortly after Harold leaves, Linda pauses from working and stares at the
pictures on her brother's desk of Amy. Some of them are recent and some of
them aren't, but mostly they just show a happy, energetic, young woman. Her
eyebrows again furrow and she gathers her purse and car keys and walks out
of the office in to her car. Linda drives to the Harold Abbot family house
and to her surprise, she finds the door unlocked and walks in.
LINDA: (checking to see who is in the house, she yells) Harry? Rose? Amy?
Linda walks through the house looking in the living room, kitchen and then
going upstairs. She hears a muffled sob and a moan of pain, and she sees
that Amy's room is open a crack and she silently pushes if open. Amy is
sitting with her back to her bed and you hear her gapped breathing and sobs
of pain. She takes the razor blade in her hand and makes a huge gash on her
right wrist which is already covered with small incisions from uncertainty.
AMY:(muttering) I've been dying a little each day, now that your gone
Collin.
Linda gasps and Amy turns around. Shocked, Amy stands, backs away and tries
to hide her wrist behind her back, as she stammers:
AMY: wh-what are you doing here?
LINDA: (fights to keep panic out of her voice) I was concerned about you
Amy, now put down the razorblade. We need to get you to a hospital, before
you bleed to death.
Linda steps towards Amy, who steps backwards. Tears start to flow and Amy
looks away and wipes them off her face, ashamed.
AMY: As if you care!
LINDA: (her eyes soften) Of course I care about you Amy! I love you so much. Your whole family loves you and they've been trying to help you, just like I am now. AMY (gives Linda a hard cold stare): Yeah right. None of you love me. You've hardly been here and you abandoned my dad when he needed you the most. You only care about yourself! And if my parents loved me so much, then why have they cut me off from any joy that I might have had? and if my parents loved me so much why am I imprisoned in my own house alone and left to die?
LINDA: Amy- AMY: No! I hate you all! You'll leave me, just like you left my Dad...just like Collin. (Whispers as tears run down her face) But I'll win and leave you first... Amy takes a final slash at her opposite wrist and slides down the wall she has finally backed into. She is now just a pathetic crumple of a human being, balled up the floor. Linda walks towards Amy and embraces her, hugging her while she cries. LINDA: You know Amy, everyone has to die at a point but I promise you this; no one who loves you has ever wanted to leave you.
