Chapter Text

SATURDAY, 7TH DECEMBER, 12:38

 

EXT. STREET

 

“Mystery of Love” by Sufjan Stevens plays as JAKE walks down the street, hands in his pockets, hood up, same clothes as yesterday.

 

He walks up to ALISTAIR’s front door and knocks quickly, instantly putting his hands back in his pockets. He looks around awkwardly, and then the door opens. The music stops.

 

BRIANNA’s in the doorway, CUSTARD at her feet. Her eyes go wide as JAKE looks confused.

 

BRIANNA
Oh, fuck me.

 

JAKE
What are you doing here?

 

BRIANNA
How’d you get my address?

 

JAKE
What?

 

BRIANNA rolls her eyes, sighing, giving up.

 

BRIANNA
I live here.

 

JAKE
No, you don’t.

 

BRIANNA
Pretty sure I do.

 

JAKE
No, Al lives here.

 

BRIANNA sighs, holding the bridge of her nose as the dots connect in JAKE’s head. He gasps.

 

JAKE
No fucking way.

 

BRIANNA
If you tell anyone, I swear to God--

 

JAKE
You’re siblings?

 

BRIANNA
Step-siblings. Emphasis on the step . If people find out, I’ll tell them about how you lost that weed and can’t be trusted.

 

JAKE sighs, looking down at CUSTARD. He stares emotionlessly back at him.

 

JAKE
Look, is-- Is Al home?

 

BRIANNA
Why?

 

JAKE
I need to talk to him.

 

BRIANNA
He doesn’t want to talk to anyone right now.

 

JAKE
Come on, please.

 

BRIANNA
I’m not lying. He doesn’t want to talk. Now, do yourself a favour and fuck off.

 

BRIANNA begins to close the door, but JAKE pushes it back.

 

BRIANNA
I said you can’t come in.

 

JAKE
Brianna, you have to let me. I-- I saw him do something, and--

 

BRIANNA
I know. We all know. And you’re just going to make it worse.

 

JAKE
How do you know? 

 

BRIANNA folds her arms, ignoring the question.

 

BRIANNA
Look, if you want to talk to him so much, text him.

 

JAKE
He blocked me.

 

BRIANNA
Can you just--

 

JAKE leans past BRIANNA and yells into the house.

 

JAKE
Al! Al, please let me in, Al!

 

BRIANNA pushes him away and slams the door in his face. JAKE groans, and kicks the wall, turning and walking back up the street. He takes out his phone and looks at the picture of ALISTAIR he took on Friday. He sighs, and just keeps walking up the road, not knowing what else he can do.
