(Mental Facility)
(11:30 AM)
(Alex is walking through the garden with his mom)
Helen: What time is it sweetheart?
Alex: It's 11:30 mom. It's Tuesday.
Helen: Baby! You've gotta go to school. You're gonna be late.
(She says in a worried tone)
Alex: Don't worry, I'll handle it.
(He chuckles)
(She looks at him)
Helen: My sweetest boy...
(She smiles and puts her hand on his cheek)
Helen: Well, buddy, I don't want to keep you. You should get going now.
Alex: Are you sure?
Helen: yes baby. Go have fun.
Alex: Okay. I'll see you tomorrow mom. Promise.
Helen: Sounds amazing.
(She hugs him)
Helen: I love you Aaron.
Alex: Mom. It's me. It's Alex. Not Amber
Helen: Sorry?
Alex: Nevermind...
(He smiles and shakes his head)
Alex: I'll be back tomorrow mom.
Helen: Alright baby. I'll see you then.
Alex: Mhm.
(He walks into the facility and to the front desk)
Alex: Hey Lisa.
Lisa: Leaving already?
Alex: Yeah. She told me to go. She thinks I have class soon. Can't keep telling her she's sick.
(The worker laughs)
Lisa: Sounds like Helen.
Girl: Hey. I have class soon too. I have to go as well.
Lisa: Nice try Jo. Better luck next time. It's June.
(Alex looks over and sees a young girl standing at the desk in sweat pants, slippers, and a cropped hoodie)
(He looks at her confused and then at Lisa)
Jo: Oh. I'm Jo. These people won't let me leave.
Lisa: You are a patient here. And haven't been discharged yet Jo.
Jo: I'm literally fine Lisa!
Lisa: Hey. It's Miss. Miller to patients.
(She jokes)
(Alex looks at Jo)
Alex: Oh... Are you okay? Sorry. Not really my business.
Jo: Yeah... I just tried to, ya know, um.
(She mumbles under her breath)
Jo: Kill... Myself...
(She goes back to talking normally)
Jo: Like three months ago.
Alex: Oh. I'm sorry.
Lisa: Last week. Last week Jo. Not three months ago.
(Jo drops her head and stares at Lisa)
Jo: I've only been here a week!?
(Lisa chuckles)
