part III
comments are a must!!!!!!!!!! glad those who have commented do like it. :)
Coye opens her door and drops her stuff on the stairs.
Coye
Mom, I’m home.
Astrid comes out of the living room.
Astrid
Honey, I want you to meet someone.
Coye looks in the living room and there is an older guy sitting on the couch.
Coye
Great, six months after the divorce and
You’re already dating someone.
Coye heads upstairs.
Astrid (says loudly)
Honey, please don’t do this right now.
Coye (shouts)
Fuck off.
Coye gets in her room and throws her stuff across the room. Coye gets her cell phone and dials a number. Aiden answers the phone. He is typing on the computer.
Coye
You want to get together, like right now?
Aiden stops what he is doing.
Aiden
Are you okay?
Coye
Peachy. Look just come over and show me all
The cool places around here.
Aiden (confused)
We did that earlier.
Coye
Is there a mall around here?
Aiden
Yeah. Look you sound really upset. I’m on
My way.
They hang up.
Aiden pulls up in a jeep and Coye is waiting on the front porch of the house. Coye gets into the jeep. They drive off. They get onto a deserted road after a few minutes.
Coye
Stop the truck.
Aiden
Okay. Do you want to tell me what is wrong?
Coye (sighs)
My mom has already started dating people and
My dad has gone insane and I’m so tired of everything.
Aiden
I don’t know what that is like but I know what it is like
To have both parents dead.
Coye
I’m sorry.
Aiden
Don’t worry about it. They are dead and nothing is
Bringing them back. It’s been like that for six years.
For a year I was like seriously depressed. Didn’t want
Anything to do with anyone. Then one day I woke up and
Thought “hey their dead. Nothing is going to bring them
Back. I got to shape up and start living again.” I meet
Jerod and we started Ashes to Dust. Since then I have
Just welcomed everyday.
Coye
I wish I was like that.
Aiden
I like you a lot. And I hope something comes out of this.
You are just way to cool and like no one I know. Which is
Awesome and you are so for real.
Coye
Thanks and I like you too. But I have to tell you something.
Aiden
I picked a chick with a boyfriend. I should have known.
Coye
No nothing like that. Complete opposite.
Aiden
Then whatever it is, I don’t care.
Aiden leans over and kisses Coye. He looks at her and sits back. Aiden starts the Jeep and drives off.
Coye closes her bedroom door and lays on her bed. Manson lays next to her and puts his head on her chest.
Coye opens her eyes and gasps. Standing over her is Kyla.
Kyla
We got shit to do so wake up and get dressed.
Coye sits up and looks at Kyla.
Coye
What are we doing?
Kyla
Band practice.
Coye gets out of bed in the same clothes from last night. Coye goes to her dresser and pulls clothes out of several drawers. She leaves the room to change. Kyla looks around the room and sees the pills on the stand next to the bed. She sighs. Coye comes back into the bedroom and grabs her bag.
Coye
Let’s go.
They leave.
Kyla and Coye pull up to a house with an opened garage. Inside Jerod is playing the drums, Loki and Aiden are playing guitar and Aiden is singing. Their music is heavy metal.
Aiden
Your lips, pouty as a rainy day.
Your eyes, committing deadly sins.
Kyla and Coye walk up into the garage. Disa is sitting near by drinking a beer. The music stops.
Kyla (to Coye)
Want a beer?
Coye (shakes her head)
Soda, please?
Disa stands up and walks over to Coye.
Disa
What? Is the princess a little to good for
Our beer?
Coye
No. I don’t like beer. And what is your problem?
You’ve been nothing but a bitch since you meet
Me.
Loki steps in between the girls.
Loki
As much as we would love to see a bitch fight,
We really don’t want to mess up our equipment,
So Disa, Calm the fuck down.
Disa gives Coye a dirty look and then storms out of the garage.
Aiden
Forget her. Now that everyone is calm lets get
Jamming.
Aiden smiles at Coye. They start playing. Coye and Kyla sit down against the wall and listen to them playing.
Aiden is chasing Coye through the house with a water gun. Loki and Kyla are sitting on a couch and Jerod is on the phone. The living room is really ordinary with a big screen television and game systems on the floor around the television. The Matrix is playing on the television. Guitars are on stand in a corner. Coye and Aiden disappear of camera and Jerod is arguing with someone on the phone about a gig. He hangs up the phone.
Jerod
Good news. We have a gig. Thursday
Night at the Hangar.
Loki
Great. How much are we going to get paid?
Jerod
$200.
Loki
That’s it?
Jerod
Each.
Loki
No way!
Kyla
That’s great.
Coye and Aiden hear the commotion and come into view.
Aiden
What’s going on?
Loki
Nothing much. Just we are going to be
Paid $200 each to perform on Thursday
Night.
Aiden
Where at?
Kyla
The Hangar.
Aiden
You’re kidding right? Tell me you’re kidding
And I’m dreaming.
Jerod
We aren’t kidding.
Aiden smiles and gives Coye a hug.
Coye (confused)
Okay, I’m glad that you guys got a gig and I’m sure
It’s not the first time. So what is the big deal?
Loki
It’s at the Hangar. Social Poison is performing
At the Hangar!!
Coye
What is the Hangar?
Jerod
It’s like the Apollo of local heavy metal bands.
The owner only picks the best to play there. On
Top of that that they get paid and some recognition.
Sometimes some bands get really cocky and totally
Suck. All the best bands out of New England started
Out playing there and only the best go any where. This
Is our chance.
Coye
I see.
Coye looks at her watch and it reads 5:30. She takes her bag and goes into a bathroom. She takes a bottle of pills out and opens it. She fills a paper cup with water and takes two pills. She swallows the water and throws the cup away. She looks in the mirror and sees Kyla standing there. The guys are hooting and hollering in the background.
Coye
Please don’t say anything to Aiden.
Kyla walks away. Coye look in the mirror again and sighs. She leaves the bathroom and finds the guys outside. Kyla is sitting on the couch. Coye walks to the front door and sees the guys and an additional three guy’s play football on the front lawn. She goes and sits next to Klya on the couch.
Kyla
I saw the pills in your bedroom. A lot of
Them are for extreme pain and other are
Antibiotics. What’s wrong with you?
Coye
Well you know, change of season and back
Pain.
Kyla
Don’t bullshit me. It’s the middle of May.
Coye takes a deep breathe and sighs.
Coye
I have cancer. I was diagnosed when I was 15.
At first I thought it was because I had gotten
Hurt in track. Then the pain became unbearable
And the doctors ran some tests. Then they told me
And weren’t able to tell me how or why.
Kyla looks at her.
Coye
I moved here because a year ago my dad decided it
Was to much for him to handle and split. They divorced
Six months ago and I moved here.
Kyla takes out a cigarette and lights it. Aiden walks in and sees the girls talking. He goes to the refrigerator and takes out a case of beers.
Aiden
Hey, we’re going to Devil’s Peak.
You guys want to go?
Kyla walks outside.
Coye
Sure.
Coye opens her door and drops her stuff on the stairs.
Coye
Mom, I’m home.
Astrid comes out of the living room.
