EXT. STREET. EVENING
We see a man driving down a street as he pulls up to a house in his vehicle. He is on a mission as if he is searching for something. He begins to slow down and comes to a stop in front of a driveway as he examines the vehicle that is parked there.
INT. CAR. EVENING
We reveal the face of the man as he recognizes the vehicle with a suspicious look on his face. This is the car he was searching for. He inches closer past the driveway to get a better look at the upstairs window of what seems to be a man & a woman frolicking behind the blinds. He parks and watches until they disappear into the room. The look on his face shows suspicion and disbelief. He continues to watch even after they disappear.
FADE OUT
INT. KITCHEN. NIGHT
The man is seated at the kitchen table waiting frantically for someone. He is very fidgety checking his watch repeatedly as he circles around the kitchen with impatience. We then see a headlight flash into the driveway. He looks out the window and it is the car from the previous location pulling up into his driveway. He immediately heads for the door and storms outside. He confronts the driver of the car whom is a female. He begins to yell at her asking her where she has been and accusing her of something. She pushes him away as she heads into the house. He follows her back in yelling as she storms upstairs. They end up in the bedroom where the man continues to yell. The young lady seems to be gathering some items as if she were packing to leave. With the yelling the young man seems to be conveying more accusation, discomfort, and disbelief towards the young lady. All the while she seems to be completely cold and annoyed as if this is a meaningless accusation towards her. She has a sense of arrogance to her as if she is untouchable. She knows she is guilty but she showcases a demeanor about her that displays her arrogance. She has reached her limit and begins to finally yell back and slaps the man. She pushes him and forces him out of the bedroom.
FADE OUT
INT. ATTIC. NIGHT
We open in an attic window with rain coming down against the glass. We follow a raindrop trickle from one end of the window to the other. We slowly come out as we circle the surrounding area & reveal the attic. An old desk, a bottle of whiskey, an ashtray with a cigarette burning, a bag of cocaine, and a piece of paper along with other lose accessories lay on the table. The young man is seated at the desk as he does a line of cocaine and begins to slap himself in the face. There are about 3 other lines of cocaine placed just beyond the line he finished conveying a large usage from the young man. He begins to write a letter in obvious discomfort, almost in tears.
INT. BATHROOM. MIRROR
The young man is coked out and overly pale. He stares into the mirror as he becomes extremely emotional. He is in absolute disgust and going through an extreme amount of pain emotionally. He breaks down to his knees.
FADE OUT
EXT. HOUSE. MORNING
We show a shot of the house from the exterior, very quiet and nothing can be heard besides the birds chirping. We resort back to the interior of the house.
INT. KITCHEN. MORNING
The young lady’s alarm clock goes off as she stops it and awakes from out of bed. She walks out of her bedroom and down to the kitchen to make her morning tea. She places the pot of tea on the stovetop.
INT. BEDROOM
We see the young man seated on the bed with a gun in his hand. We inch closer and closer to him. Right before we reach his face he pulls the gun up to the side of his head as if he is about to pull the trigger. Just as he does this we hear the pot steaming loudly from the kitchen.
INT. KITCHEN. MORNING/ EXT. HOUSE. MORNING
The teapot is going off as the young lady takes the tea off of the stovetop and pours herself a cup. She begins to sip it as she seats herself at the kitchen table and begins to read a newspaper.
FLASHBACK/MONTAGE:
Young man writing the letter in the attic revealing the dialogue of the letter while going back and forth showcasing Megan drinking her tea.
“I’m so sorry for what I did. I really wish this was all a bad nightmare but it's not”
“I have no soul or purpose of existing. My heart is decayed and rotten. I cannot believe I did this to you, without you I am nothing, I am now numb."
“I’ll always love you, Sincerely, Megan”
She finishes her cup of tea as she checks her watch and heads back upstairs. She enters the room.
FADE IN
INT. BEDROOM. LATE MORNING
As she enters the room she notices the closet light turned on. She gives a weird look but does not put too much thought into it and moves on to seat herself in front of the vanity set in the bedroom. She begins to do her makeup for the day. She is facing the mirror as we see a gun come to the side of her head and we hear the gun shot.
FADE OUT
EXT. HOME. LATE MORNING
We see a shot from the front of the house showcasing the bedroom window. We hear nothing as we inch our way back into the bedroom.
FADE IN
INT. BEDROOM. NOON
As we make our way back into the room we see a blood stream follow us up to Megan’s dead body. The suicide letter that the young man wrote has been placed in her hand with the gun placed in her other hand. We then make our way past the scene on the ground and into the bathroom where we see the young man cleaning his hands off in the sink as he stares at himself in the mirror with an evil yet arrogant smirk on his face. He is absolutely crazed at this point and is finally relieved.
