CHAPTER 1

Preszley: But I love you.

Caroline: You don't love me! You love the thought of me. I've worked so hard to keep our family together, but you can't fix a broken home.

Preszley: What about our son Davey?..... and our baby. You can't just take her away from me. She's not even in this world yet!

He starts to get angry. You can tell by his voice he has a short fuse.

Preszley: No one else will ever love you like I do. I'm your only love and the only one who can stand you long enough to take care of you!

Caroline: The only thing you did for me was give me a beautiful child and a baby girl. Only other thing you've done was get high in the basement! Off of heroin! 

Prezley yells, "Shut up!" Then starts to walk toward the table on the left.

Caroline: You're right! You loved me so much that you abused me just like your father did to you!

Prezley turns around with angry rage in his eyes and back-hands Caroline. Caroline is hit so hard, she falls on the ground belly first. They both look towards the right. The 7 year old boy is looking at them with fear in his eyes. The father walks over to him, bends over to get his mouth to the son's ear and says, "never get married". The father leaves. Meanwhile the mother is crying in pain on the ground. Davey runs to the phone and snatches it off the set. He runs to his mom and begins to call 911. Davey has panic in his voice while saying, "it's ok momma. He's gone. He's gone".

10 years later.....

Caroline: Davey the dinner is ready!

Davey runs down the hall to the kitchen and starts to set the table with paper plates and cups.

Davey: Ma! What you want to drink!

Caroline: Surprise me!

They both sit down at the table. The house they live in is really dirty and messy. They start to bite into the food. The power shuts off.

Davey: (says in a smart ass way) I think the power just went out. Ma, this is exactly why I should get a job.

Caroline: What makes you think I couldn't pay the electric bill? It could have been a tree falling on a line.
