Chapter 2
(Debbie is confused as her sister is unconscious and she doesn't see the convee anywhere.)
Debbie: Ok, be calm, your semiconscious sister is in your arms and you in the middle of nowhere. Think, think. Eliza (sounding drunk): Oh man ... that metal bar. Debbie: Man what were you drinking out here? Eliza ("): It came out of no...where, so sick, just .. so sick. Debbie: Yeah, you are sick, so walk it off. Eliza ("): Find heat, ditch. Debbie: Oooooo k. Hey theirs a cave, will do. Eliza ("): Just wanna, lie down. Debbie: Here hop on my back. Oh God why am I'm doing this. (Debbie carries Eliza to cave; the cave has an odd ditch as the very end.) Debbie: Alright end of the ride, kiddo. Are you all right? Eliza: Oh my head. I fell like lying down. Debbie: Well that not going to happen, you know if you fall asleep, your not waking back up. Eliza: Oh crap, I forgot about that, oh I feel so dizzy, oh.. (Eliza walks away and vomits.) Debbie: No amount in of family therapy is ever going take that image out my head. (Eliza got the vomit out of her system and puts her bare back with her coat inside against Debbie's.) Debbie: Hold up, what do you think you are doing? Eliza: They say its best way to get heat is to use though body heat. Debbie: Well all right. (Debbie puts her bare back against Eliza.) Debbie: Eliza, this, what we doing and the things we're going to talk about, stays here. OK? Eliza (annoyed): Why do we have to talk? Debbie: Because maybe their something's I might want to tell you where Mom or Dad won't be listening in and you need to keep conscious cause that knot on your head isn't helping. Eliza: Ok, I see the 2nd one, but the 1st one? Debbie: Ok I have a small confession to make. Eliza: Come on, how 'small' of a confession. Debbie: Well the truth ever after you were 18 months I was kinda green with envy. Eliza: You were what of me?! Debbie: Oh don't rub it in, I was very jealous .... of the attention you got. Eliza: You know I was pretty helpless, and besides, they probably did the same thing for you when you where that age. Debbie: Well I was the 1st so I got all their attention. But it was like the minute, you grew your hair long enough for your pig tales, I grew almost not existent. Eliza: Come on, you know as well as I do that mom and dad love us both. Debbie: That doesn't mean they love us both equally. Eliza: But . Debbie (interrupting): But nothing. I know I couldn't have all their attention but I could at least get half. Besides I had a lot more things going then you at the time. Eliza: No kidding like what. Debbie: I was reading, always made sure I dressed nice, and was trying to write. Well you on the other hand, put your own foot in your own mouth, literally, you cried at all times of the night, wobble when you walked, and you talking were very botched. Eliza: Come on, I was little; I need a lot of attention, and Mom said I had always talked well for my age. Debbie: Yeah, but I could talk to them well too, they were hypnotic to you. How can they be happy with changing someone's dirty diaper 8-9 times a day? Eliza: Come on, I don't go to the bathroom that much now. Debbie: Oh if you saw how milk they gave you; it was like you stole me from them. (sigh) But all in all, it wasn't your fault or you weren't tying on purpose. Eliza: How did you know? Debbie: Anytime mom and dad weren't smoothing you, you always gave me a little smile as walked by. It made me happy and angry. I t made happy that you actually like me and I someone knew that you weren't doing it on purpose but I was angry cause you reminded me that someone with only a t- shirt, pigtails was running circles around the girl who was fully dressed and went as far as shining her shoes. Eliza (shocked): Now theirs no way you could actually expect me to believe that.
Debbie: Well you lived it. Anyway if there had been any hostility between us that might be a reason. Eliza: That and the fact, that I don't always respect you all the time and the fact that we've been together in the same room forever. Debbie: Yeah but that's not only way I've tried to get attention. I've eventually went over to the dark side. Eliza: What did you do? Debbie: It's a long story. Eliza: Well now might be the time, where not going anywhere? Debbie: Well ok, it started. (Interrupted by a ringing phone playing Holidae Inn) .. 1st let me answer this.
(Well the girls are safe, but what about their parents. And what other dark secrets does Debbie or Eliza have? Stay tuned.)
