Chapter 2: Emma Has A Crash With Fate
Jay: "Oh, this is just great…why did you let her go!"
Manny: "How was I supposed to know she would take your keys and drive! This isn't like her!"
Jay: "Yea, well, she hasn't been herself since the shooting and with Sean leaving on top of that!"
Manny: "Just stop arguing and go find her!" Jay turns to the crowd.
Jay: "Hey! Listen up!" The music turns down so they can hear him.
Jay: "Does anybody have a car to lend me, it's an emergency, and I need it….NOW!"
Manny: "Wouldn't it be easier if you stole one?" Jay glares at her.
Spinner: "You can take mine." Spinner gives Jay his car keys.
Jay: "Thanks man."
Jay runs to Spinner's car, hops inside, and slams his foot on the gas pedal. He tries to see if he can follow the skid marks to find where she's headed.
Jay: "Come on, Em….where the hell are you?"
Emma's in Jay's car driving over the limit…..but she doesn't care. She has no destination, no worries….just a beer, speed, and an open road. Emma has the radio up full blast and the song playing on the radio is, "Love is a Battlefield". She sings along with it.
Emma: "We are
young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love Is A Battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're
wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love
Is A Battlefield."
After a while, Jay finally sees his car further up the road….and he realizes Emma is speeding…. He tries to catch up with her, but she's still speeding, going faster and faster…
Jay: "Emma! Slow down!"
Emma: "You're
beggin' me to go, you're makin' me stay
Why do you hurt me so
bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way, or am I
the best thing you've had?
Believe me, believe me, I can't tell
you why
But I'm trapped by your love, and I'm chained to your
side
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No
promises, no demands
Love Is A Battlefield
We are
strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for
so long, both of us knowing
Love Is A Battlefield."
There's a car up the road, facing in the opposite direction….heading dead-on straight towards Emma….
Jay: "Emma, drive out of the way!"
Emma's reflexes were too slow, and her car and the other collide.
Jay: "Oh my God! Emma!"
Jay stops his car, runs out of it and he heads straight to Emma. He checks for a pulse and she's still breathing. He heads over to the other car to see who was driving it. He sees the person's head face-first on the driving wheel. He lifts his head to see who it is and he realizes that the person is……Sean!
Meanwhile, you can still hear the radio faintly playing in the back round:
"We're losing
control
Will you turn me away or touch me deep inside?
And
before this gets old, will it still feel the same?
There's no way
this will die
But if we get much closer, I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, you'll need me to hold
We
are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no
demands
Love Is A Battlefield
We are strong, no one
can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of
us knowing
Love Is A Battlefield
We are young,
heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love
Is A Battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're
wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love
Is A Battlefield…"
