Anthony: (in disbelief/mocking her) You’re scared.

Jane: I’m aware.

Anthony: (almost laughing) I never thought I’d live to the day to see you scared.

Jane: What’s it matter to you?

Anthony: Well… I dunno… Its just-

Jane: Its just that you enjoy seeing me hurt, afraid, and lost! You like it! Hell, you created it! It’s your fault I’m like this! If you had turned around, they would’ve followed! Besides I could’ve lived without them! But not you! Now I’m alone! And as you now know- scared! You happy now?

Anthony: Oh, so you think I just decided lets hate Jane for the rest of her life starting today?! Do you really think it happened like that?! No! I thought about what this would do to us, to you, to everything! It was hard as hell! But I had to go with them! I mean, my own sister went with them! I had no choice!

Jane: No, you had a choice! You just chose the easy way out! Instead of standing by what you thought was right, you went for the way that would keep you most well liked! Don’t pretend you didn’t have a choice, because its just more lying!

Anthony: Jane! Why can’t you just believe me? You dig too far deep! You-

Jane: Why should I believe you?! After all you did to me? You expect me to still take in every word you say? Well then you must be dreaming!

Anthony: I’m dreaming?! You’re the one huddled with your notebook, looking into space! You post all your poems and stories on that website hoping someone will “understand.” You’re just pathetic!

Jane: I’m pathetic?! You’re the one who listens to every word I say even when I’m not talking to you! You’re always listening when I’m talking to someone and then putting in some sarcastic comment! And you’re always staring! Every time I look somewhere and you’re there, you’re staring! Have anything to say to that?!

(Anthony is silent. He looks at his feet.)

Jane: I didn’t think so. Now if you excuse me, I’m leaving.

(Jane turns to leave and is opening the door when-)

Anthony: October 28, 2003.

Jane: (turns around) What?!

Anthony: It was the day we first met. You came over my house to hang with Katie. And we made that disgusting “peanut butter” and you guys tried to get me to eat it, but my mom caught us. Remember?

(Jane smiles)

Anthony: And November 15, 2006. We went to go see Eragon on opening day with a bunch of people. And you and I talked for almost the entire movie. We kept pushing Frankie’s head out of the way so we could talk about how bad it was.

(Jane continues to smile and giggles quietly. Anthony sees that his plan is working and continues.)

Anthony: And umm… January 10, 2007. Your cousins came over and we played in the snow. So we called you. But by the time you got there I’d given Abrahm a cut in the mouth. So you, me and Katie went inside and played hide-and-go-seek. You and I hid under the desk in my basement while Katie was looking for us. It was really dark. I could barely see you. And Katie had to help clean dishes upstairs, so we sat there waiting and talking in that small, dark space.

(Jane seems to remember and smiles but then frowns.)

Jane: But it started to go downhill at the end of that year. Don’t you remember? Or did you block it out?

(Anthony looks disappointed.)

Jane: Remember near the last day of school when all we would do was fight over whether or not Josh was your best friend because you can have more than one beset friend. And then we walked to Mike’s house with Mike and Damen in front of us and we were arguing. And then the two of us had a huge water fight and everyone thought we were in love.

(Anthony smiles. Jane seems disappointed that he’s smiling)

Jane: Fine, how ‘bout at Grace’s party the weekend that school ended. And you wouldn’t help me. You ditched me. Then you kept spying on us. And you… faked crying. And we all believed you. Because we all wanted to believe there was a good side of you left there. And we hugged and it… felt right. And then I hid from Sarah and you came and found me in the laundry room and sat with Beth, Derek and I. You had a look of regret and… pain. But at the time I didn’t know why. Now I do. I should’ve known.

(Anthony looks in pain and has eyes of regret.)

Jane: And how ‘bout the most recent one: October 28, 2007, four years later. When you let my world crash down around me. You let them tear it from under me. You HELPED. It’s your fault too! You smiled while doing it! I mean please! How could you-

Anthony: (calm) I’ve got a more recent one. February 2nd, 2008.

Jane: Today? What’s so special-

(Anthony leans in and kisses her.)

THE END.
