Chapter 2

Cameron wakes up on Johnny's couch and Johnny walks in from another room

Johnny: Sleep well?
Cameron: I guess. When did I fall asleep?
Johnny: Around midnight.
Cameron: Oh. Well I should get going.
Johnny: We never finished talking last night. You just feel asleep in mid-sentence.
Cameron: Well, where di we leave off?

Johnny sits next to her

Johnny: You were about to tell me what happened after I left.
Cameron: Right. My depression started when you left. Why did you just walk away that day?
Johnny: I don't know, I guess I just chose to be alone.
Cameron; You didn't have to be.
Johnny: I know.
Cameron: When you left, things just seemed to go downhill for me.
Johnny: What happened?
Cameron: Well, you weren't there to help me when I got picked on anymore. Johnny: I completely forgot about that.
Cameron: After a while I just couldn't take it.
Johnny: And your parents didn't try to help you?
Cameron: I was adopted remember? My foster parents hated me. Johnny: Oh yeah. You always showed up at my door crying.
Cameron: They kicked me out when I was 15.
Johnny: They did?
Cameron: Uh huh. They couldn't take my crying everynight. I felt so alone.
Johnny: And this is because I left?
Cameron: You were my only friend, Johnny. The only one who truly cared about me.
Johnny: I remember your hair used to be brown.
Cameron: I dyed it black, when I went into depression.
Johnny: Well, you don't have to be so depressed anymore.
Cameron: It takes a lot to get out of depression, Johnny. It takes a long time to heal from it. Besides, I'll still have the scars.

Cameron holds up her arm covered in scars from cutting herself with the blade, and she starts to cry

Cameron: I just can't takke it. My life is probably never going to get any better, and I just want it to end. I can't even feel the pain from the blade, why can't feel the pain, why"
Johnny: Cameron, calm down.
Cameron: I just want my life to end, then I'll finaly be free from it all.
Johnny: Cameron don't say that.
Cameron: You can't tell me you haven't felt the same way, you told me last night that you tried killing yourself plenty of times.
Johnny: I know, but.
Cameron; But what?
Johnny; Nothing, just forget about it. I have to go do somthing I'll be right back.
Cameron: Don't rush.

Johnny goes into the next room and closes the door

Reverend Meat: Something wrong/
Johnny; No. Everything is fine.
Reverent Meat: You sound upset.
Johnny: I told you everything is fine, I was just talking to Cameron.
Reverend Meat: Maybe she's just making up these stories to make you feel sorry for her.
Johnny: You can't tell me those scars on her arms are fake. I can tell by the look in her eyes that not a single word of what she said is a lie.
Reverend Meat: If she's that convincing then the girl deserves an Oscar.
Johnny: Just shut up, shut the fuck up! Cameron is my friend and she needs help. And if I can help her maybe she can help me.
Reverend Meat: The two of you are beyond help. If you were able to be helped, you wouldn't be where you are today.
Johnny: I know I can help her.
Reverend Meat: But can she really help you?
Johnny: Maybe she can change everything, we can make eachothers lives better. I want to change, and I know she does too.
Reverend Meat: You can't change who you're meant to be.

Camron opens the door a little and peeks into the room

Johnny: Who I'm meant to be? Is this who I'm meant to be, all I've done is kill everyone I meet, and this is who I'm meant to be?
Cameron: Who is he talking to?
Johnny: What do you know Meat? What do you mean like I did to Devi? Cameron: Is he talking to himself?

Johnny doesn't notice Cameron is watching

Johnny: Why did I even tell you what happened with Devi?
Reverend Meat:I beleive it was to shut me up when I kept asking you about it.
Johnny: This won't be a repeat of Devi.
Reverend Meat: It might.
Johnny: I told you this won't be a repeat of Devi, I would never try to kill Cameron!

Cameron couldn't beleive what she just heard and runs back to couch opening her backpack

Reverend Meat: You shouldn't yell that so loud, Cameron is right in the next room, she might hear you.
Johnny: Cameron knows I would never hurt her, I wouldn't dream of hurting her.
Reverend Meat: All you have to do is lose your temper and it'll happen.
Johnny: There's no way cameron will ever make me lose my temper.
Reverend Meat: It will happen, just wait.

Johnny leaves the room and sees Cameron on the couch with the blade in her hand and her arm was bleeding

Johnny: Cameron, what are you doing?
Cameron: I can't feel the pain. I can see the blood, but I can't feel the pain.
Johnny: Cameron, what is wrong with you.
Cameron; I heard you talking in the other room, I don't know who you were talking to.
Johnny: Cameron...

Johnny takes Cameron by the hand and takes her to the bathroom to bandage up her arm

Johnny; You have to stop doing this to yourself, Cameron.
Cameron; I know, but I just can't. It's like an addiction, almost like a drug that keeps me going.

Johnny starts cleaning off her arm and Cameron sees the tub full of body parts and she looks away

Cameron: So how many people have you killed exactly?
Johnny: Too many to count.
Cameron: You won't kill me will you?
Johnny: How can you think that? I would never hurt you Cameron, you know that.
Cameron: I guess. I remember my foster parents told me I would die alone because someone I met would kill me. Johnny; Forget about them. You know you can trust me.
Cameron: I don't want to be alone anymore.
Johnny: You won't be.

Cameron and Johnny hug each other tightly

Cameron: I'm just so glad to be seeing you again.
Johnny: Me too Cameron, me too.
Johnny: (thinking) I just hope what Meat said isn't true.

Ok , I know what you're going to say, Johnny is OOC, I know but give me a break, I'm trying my best here.
