Chapter 4

Evan's Home

Max, Michael, and Isabel are in Isabel's room. Isabel is sitting on the bed and Max hands Isabel some water.

Isabel: Thanks.

Max: What is this place, Isabel?

Isabel: I don't know. I just remember waking up in this bed and being completely confused.

Michael: Well think harder. Think about the thing that you thought about before you entered this world. (Isabel closes her eyes and remembers something then opens them again.)

Max: Anything?

Isabel: Yes. (Isabel stands up and goes to the window) Before I woke up in the bed I remember I was at my apartment. I was looking though some pictures and as I was looking I found one of me and Alex. I st my appartment.Isabel closes her eyes tarted crying when I saw it. So then I laid down on the couch and wished I could've had a better life, better than the one I had with Jesse, a life where Alex was still alive. (Isabel turns to face Max and Michael) I'm not going back.

Max: You're not going back? What do you mean you're not going back?

Isabel: I mean I'm not going back. Everything is perfect here. I'm finally getting my chance with Alex, Tess is dead, and you and I are much closer that we have been in years.

Michael: Isabel, it's not real.

Isabel: I don't care. I'm staying. (Isabel leaves)

Michael: So what now?

Max: I don't know. Let's go back and talk with the others before we do anything. (Max and Michael astral project out of Isabel's dream.)
