JAMIE runs into the bathroom crying,<br />
JACOB is running after her<br />
JACOB<br />
Jamie, stop! What happened? Why are you acting like this?<br />
JAMIE<br />
Jacob, you don’t understand, just stop. You don’t understand, you are<br />
never there for me.<br />
JACOB gets angry<br />
JACOB<br />
What are you saying! We have been through hell and back together! I<br />
don’t know why you have been acting like this. What’s wrong with you?<br />
Are you really going to stand there and say that I’m not here for you?<br />
JAMIE laughs sarcastically<br />
JAMIE<br />
Wow, you have been really blinded by Sophie, haven’t you? I’m in love<br />
with you; I’ve been in love with you for seven years. These last few<br />
months, I’ve felt more alone than ever. You’re always at her<br />
cheerleading practice and her football games but you never even talked<br />
to me, why is that “best friend”?<br />
JACOB gets shocked and feels sympathy<br />
JACOB<br />
Jamie, I grew up, okay? I got new friends and new hobbies. I don’t<br />
like running in the backyard playing hide-and-seek or jumping on the<br />
bed anymore. I grew up. Everyone does that, Jamie, maybe you should<br />
too.<br />
JAMIE gets sad, yet still mad, crying<br />
JAMIE<br />
I hate it when people say, “grew up”, Jacob you are 17, you have your<br />
whole life to grow up. Just, Go away Jacob, because you have NO idea<br />
what I’ve been through and if you did know, you wouldn’t understand.<br />
JACOB gets frustrated<br />
