DYLAN enters from offscreen. She picks up her phone and records a video of herself.
Dylan: Hi mom, dad, sisters, Claire. If you get this, it means I killed myself. And I'm so sorry, but I had to. Because-
Dylan begins to cry.
Dylan (continued): Because Claire, I don't love you, not like you love me, and it's killing me to pretend. Because I'm straight. And I'd never love you. And I know if you knew the truth, then it would kill you. And I figured the only solution is to take one of us out of the picture, kind of like algebra or something, and-
Dylan pauses to collect her thoughts.
Dylan (continued): and I couldn't kill Claire, because that would be horrible. So I decided to kill myself. And I love all of you, but I'm so sorry, and there's just no other way. Bye.
Dylan stops recording herself. She gets the video ready to send, and she picks up an entire container of pills that her mom takes for migraines.
Dylan pours the pills down her throat and sends the video. She waits alone in the kitchen of her house. Minutes hours years seconds pass as she waits for darkness.
Dylan falls down, screaming on the inside. She hits the glass coffee table, and it shatters and splinters and breaks like she is on the inside.
MERRI-LEE enters with JAMIE, the older, responsible daughter. They quickly figure out the scene and call the ambulance.
It is three AM and they might not be able to save her daughter.
But they will fucking try.
