"You lied to me Eli...You promised and you never showed up. And now you
expect me to just forgive you?" Grace shrugs off his shoulder and starts to
walk to the family room. Eli starts to walk towards her and tries to yell.
"But I have to tell you why I didn't show up. I came for you, but..."
"Just stop it, Eli. I'm sick of you letting me down all the time. I don't need you. I don't even want you any more." Grace has finally left the room. Eli stops walking and slams his hands on the counter
"I'm such a screw up, damn it. Every thing I try to do goes wrong." Eli walks out of the house, goes into the garage and slumps onto his bed. He can hear the laughter in the kitchen and the song California.
B/W Eli: It's as if everybody expects me to be a failure. To prove them wrong is a challenge, but it's a challenge I have to face.
People start to leave the house and Mr Dimitri stands at the door next to Grace.
"You didn't disappoint me and most importantly, you didn't disappoint yourself. You will go far Ms Manning, and I will be able to turn to your fans and say that I always had faith in you." Mr Dimitri leans down and kisses Grace Lightly on the cheek. When he closes the door behind him she places her hand on that cheek and turns toward the stairwell. Eli walks into the hallway and grabs her arm.
"You have to listen me. I need you to know what happened."
"Nothing you say can fix this. You screwed up. Deal with it." Grace starts to walk upstairs."
"But you mean too much to me. I can't let this go. I won't."
"Leave it alone. I'm tired, I'm going to bed." Grace bites her lip and continues to walk upstairs. Eli shoves his hands in his pockets and sighs.
B/W Grace: Why can't it be easier? Girl meets Boy. It seems like everybody else can manage to find someone. Mum was able to find two men that love her. Why can't I?
B/W Eli: Sure, I can get a girl, easy. But do I just want any girl? And why is it that Grace is the only girl that makes me feel this way? What is this feeling?
Grace gets into her pajamas and into bed. She places her hands behind her head and looks up at the ceiling. Eli is lying on top of his bed, smoking a joint.
"But I have to tell you why I didn't show up. I came for you, but..."
