Remember

Hello, I am Bea. I love to draw things and to talk. I want to tell you about one of my first friends in school. He was named Matthew or Matty (that's what the others call him) So here is how it goes...

One day we were sitting around. and we communicate with each other through cards (well technically he replies with cards and I just talk)

(Matty replies through cards)

Matty: Hey do you remember the first time we met?

Bea: Yeah…

(Flash Back)

Matty seating

Bea: Excuse me po saan po yung high school?

Matty: (Cards) Behind you (pointing also)

Bea: your mute?

Matty: Yes…

Bea: sorry ako pala si Bea

Matty: I am Matty

(Flash to present) 

Matty: (Cards) Yeah, I miss those days

(Someone comes)

Mendiola: Waz Up!!!

Marty: Hey dudes

Bea: Hi

(Matty waves)

Mendiola: what are you doing?

Matty: (Card) remembering the Past

Marty: about?

Bea: the first time we met…

Mendiola: ahh the good old days

(Someone comes)

And he took Bea’s bag while they were talking

Marty: Hey!!!

Mendiola: huh?

Matty (Runs to chase the thief and the others followed)

By standers try to stop the thief, others got pushed away 

(Matty grabs the thief and fights as they head towards the garden)

BANG!!!!

The others stops and wondered where it came from

Mendiola: what was that?

Marty: It must be Matty!!!

Bea: let’s go!!!

(Came out the thief)

Mendiola: I will get him!! go Look for Matty

(Mendiola went after the thief)

Bea: Matthew... you ok? (finds Matty and he nods yes, but falls) Your bleeding (Maty was shot and falls)

Marty: I will get help…

(Matty grabs Marty’s arm)

(Mendiola comes back)

Mendiola: I was not able to cat…ch him??

Bea: Matthew was shot

Mendiola: then let's get help

Matty: nods (no)

(Matty gets something)

Bea: My bag… Matthew…

Matty: gives a card to Bea, “remember what I said to you”

Bea: I understand… (low voice)

Marty: what??

Bea: Before you two came Matthew told me something...

(Flash Back) 

(Matty replies by cards)

Matty: Bea… I want to tell you something

Bea: What is it?

Matty: I am not going to last long here

Bea: you’re transferring school?

Matty: no, I have this… condition… I have a few miles left for me, the doctor says my heart has a problem and it could’nt be cured.

Bea: but… isn’t there another… way

Matty: Nod (no)

Bea: But why you’re so kind… God still has a plan for you…

Matty: I don’t know…

Bea: (Looks down)

Matty: Don’t be sad (lifts Bea's head up), that is life… sometimes we got to accept what we have, for this will set us free. At times like this we just got to enjoy life.

Bea: your right but…

Matty: (holds Bea’s shoulder and smiles at her)

(Silence)

Matty: Hey do you remember the first time we met?

(Flash to Present)

Matty: Shows card stained with Blood, “Hey do you remember the first time we met”

Bea: yes I do remember…

Mendiola: Hey!!! what are you saying?

Bea: He's leaving...

Marty: I understand

Mendiola: Why? 

Bea: Somethings are not always what we expect them to be

Mendiola: Ok.... I understand... (Sentimental) 

Bea: Matthew I guess it is time

Mendiola: Yes, it is time for you to rest

Marty: for you have done much,  

Matty: (smiles and slowly closes his eyes in joy) Thank you (in a card in his hand stained with blood)

After a few months I went to the main building

Bea (walking) sees a card on the ground and reads it

Card: “I will always be there for you my friend… no matter what happens I will always be right beside you”

(Matthew T, Marty, Ysa, Vince, Audrey comes)

Ysa: hey what is that?

Bea: it’s nothing… let’s eat (looks back and sees Matty but vanishes after a group passes by)

Vince: yeah, let’s go to KFC

Matthew T: yeah I am hungry

Audrey: you two are always hungry

Matthew T: because we are awesome

Marty: haha ok let us go… Bea? (finds Bea looking back) Is there something bothering you?

Bea: (Smiles) nothing… let’s go… (In mind) Don't worry Matty I remember...
