Scene IX: Books-A-Million
Ashley: Fuck…
Screen fades in to Ashley sitting upside-down on her couch looking for something to watch. She settles on the Sci-fi channel. Ghost Hunters is on. She stands up and walks around her couch and into the kitchen. She opens up the fridge and pulls out a blue Rockstar. She opens it, takes and drink, and turns around. She pulls the can away from her mouth and looks at it.
Ashley: …So good.
She walks back to the couch and plops down on it, lying with her back to the arm of the couch and her legs stretched out in front of her. She takes another drink, and the phone rings. She makes a small noise and pulls the can away, gets up, sets the can down on the side table as she passes it. She walks into the kitchen and picks up the phone from the counter.
Ashley: Hello?
Jack: Hey Ash!
Ashley: Hi, Jack! What’s up?
Jack: Eh, not much, just picking up some spilt dog food. You?
Ashley (sitting back down on the couch): Sitting here, watching Ghost Hunters.
Jack: That’s cool.
Ashley: Not really.
She picks up the remote and flicks off the TV. Then she sighs and stares up at the ceiling.
Jack: What time you got?
Ashley (looks at the clock on the cable box): …8:36. Why, you got a curfew, little boy?
Jack: Totally. If I don’t get off the phone at nine, my dog will kill me.
Ashley: You have a dog?
Jack: Yeah, a Sheltie named Max.
Ashley: Well, that’s-
Ashley is interrupted by a loud crash in her kitchen. She jumps, then looks up over the back of her couch into the kitchen. She sees nothing , so she gets up and walks into the kitchen. The camera is pointed at her, away from the kitchen. She has a horrified expression on her face. She falls to her knees.
Jack: Ashley, you okay?
Ashley: I gotta go. Later.
She hangs up before Jack can say anything. Camera cuts to Jack in his house, sitting in a corner on the floor. He hangs up the phone and looks at it for a second, then puts it on the counter above him. He looks troubled, then stands up. He starts to walk away, then trips on his own feet and falls flat on his face. He stands up again, and straightens his hoodie.
Jack: Ow…
He stands up and walks into the other room. Max follows him around the house and into his bedroom. Jack turns around and scratches him behind the ears. He then turns to walk into his bathroom, taking off his shirt in the process. The camera still stays focused in the bedroom. Jack turns the shower on and you can hear the water running. Screen fades to black. Screen cuts to Ashley’s alarm going off. She wakes up and sleepily hits the button. She groans and rolls over, and then she groans again. The phone rings. Ashley’s eyes fly open. She rolls out of bed and groans in pain.
“The Great Escape”- Boys Like Girls plays in the background.
Ashley gets up, grabs a Rockstar out of the fridge, and drinks it while scratching her head. Cut to The outside of a white shower curtain. The sound of water running can be heard over the song. Cut to Ashley in her bathroom with her hair styled and now she is putting on eyeliner. Cut to Ashley picking up her keys and walking out the front door. She opens the car door, then before she gets in, she stops, looks behind her and grins. She slams the door shut and walks behind her house. A few seconds later, she appears skateboarding. She kickflips her way over the step from the walkway to the sidewalk. Cut to Ashley picking up the board in front of Books-A-Million and walking in the front door. She walks around the store and into the fantasy section. She props up the board against her knees. She picks up a book and opens it. She smiles while scanning the pages. All of a sudden, Ashley’s phone rings. The Great Escape stops playing. Her eyes widen. She giggles, puts up the book and pulls out her phone. She answers it and grabs her board. She apologizes to the annoyed people around her and leaves Books-A-Million.
Ashley: Jack, you just annoyed a bunch of people with this.
Jack: Well, I expected a hello, but I guess that’s too overrated for you.
Ashley: Totally, heh.
Jack: So what are you up to?
Ashley: Leaving Books-A-Million and skating.
Jack: Yeah, nice board, by the way.
Ashley: What?
Jack: You heard me…turn around, baby.
Ashley looks around behind here. Jack hangs up the phone and waves at her. She screams and jumps into his arms. He laughs and kisses her.
Ashley: How’d you know I was here?
Jack: Lucky guess?
Ashley: Yeah, right.
He takes her hand and starts walking away from Books-A-Million.
Jack: Go out to eat?
Ashley: Yeah!
