Bosco enters his apartmentment.He takes a bottle of scotch and sits on his coutch.
He looks at a picture of him and his brother which stands next to him.
He keeps drinking and tears roll down his eyes. The picture, which is now in his hand, slips out of his hands and falls into many pieces. He takes the picture and put it next to a picture of him and Faith. He looks at it, grabs his keys and the botlle of scotch and leaves.
3 o' clock at the Yokas apartment.
Bosco: Faith, Faith!!!!
(he yells from the street. Someone let's him in; but he drops his bottle of scotch, while trying to grab it, he trips and falls into the broken glass. He's bleeding a bit, but he manages to get to faith's door where he knocks several times)
Faith: who is it?
Bosco: It's me.
Faith: Bosco, oh my god, what happened. You're bleeding.
Bosco: I'm okay,... actually... I'm not.
Faith: Have you been drinking?
Bosco: Maybe a bit.
Faith: Oh Bos
Bosco: I need you Faith...I need you so much. I feel so guilty. It's my fault
I pushed him to testify. I made him turn in those guys.
Faith: Bosco, no, it isn't your fault.
Bosco: I killed him. I may not have pulled the trigger but still, I did put
him in this mess.
Faith: No, Bosco you didn't, that was Mikey on his own. You tried to help him. He didn't listen
He didn't take the witness protection. He knew the consequences. You
did your best.
Bosco: (as he looks painfully on her)Well, my best wasn't good enough, was it?
(he clenches his fist and blood floats between his fingers)
Faith: Bosco stop it. Stop hurting yourself .Just stop.
(she crabs his hand and puts the bandage on. they both look into each others tearing eyes)
Faith: ssssssshhh (her hand moves slowly and softly over his cheek. They look into each other eyes and she kisses his forehead, a couple times.)
It's gonna be okay, shhhhhhhh, it's all gonna be okay.
Bosco: I miss him Faith, I just miss him so much. I feel guilty. I could've
saved him.
Faith: No, you couldn't... shh
Bosco: (Looks into her eyes) Thank you for being here. Cuz I don't know what I
would do without you. (Faith smiles)
Can I euh stay with you tonight, you know together.
Faith: Yeah, of course, no problem. (he follows her to the bedroom)
You can take the bed.
Bosco: no, no you take it, the couch is fine.
Faith: okay, if there's anything, just call me. I'm an inch away. Goodnight
Bosco: okay (he smiles and closes his eyes)
Later on, Faith can hear him dreaming and saying his brothers name. He's awake now to and goes to Faiths room. She turns and sees him standing watching her.
Bosco: Faith will euhm you hold me?
Faith looks at him strange, but lets him get into her bed.
Bosco: Faith, thank you for being here with me, for supporting me.
Faith: No problem.(she smiles, he touches her cheek, she swallows nervously. He comes closer and closer.
Bosco: I never want to loose you.
He takes her hand and rests his head against her chest and closes his eyes. Faith sighs and rests her head on his. A tear escapes from her eye.
