JAMIE<br />

Jacob, you saying that, makes my day. I’ve dreaming the day you saying<br />

you care about me.<br />

JACOB<br />

Really? Jamie, I’m sorry that I’ve been missing out. I didn’t know it<br />

would hurt you that bad. I thought you were fine.<br />

JAMIE<br />

I wasn’t, and no one can go back into time. But at least now, you<br />

know.<br />

JACOB looks glad, yet worried<br />

JACOB<br />

Promise, you’ll stop cutting or even trying to hurt yourself?<br />

Jamie starts tearing up, but tries to laugh away the tears<br />

I I don’t know, I thin…<br />

JAMIE<br />

JACOB interrupts JAMIE<br />

JACOB<br />

WHAT? You don’t know, after all that? After I said I care for you?<br />

JAMIE looks at floor and looks sad.<br />

But trying not to show it<br />

JAMIE<br />

I’ll try, for you. But you don’t know what it feels like, you know if<br />

you left a drinker inside a room full of beer, he’d be glad to drink<br />

it, but he would try not to.<br />

JACOB looks at JAMIE with anger, but<br />

at the same time he is worried<br />

JACOB<br />

Oh. Jamie, I will be there for you, every single step. Until you stop.<br />

But Jamie, you have to understand, that no one would want that for<br />

you. NO ONE.<br />
