PURGATORY

Preston: (the pendant flickers but does not work) Shit 

Prestyn: How Disappointing 

The Crowd: (disperses and murmurs to each other)

Preston: Guys

Hudson, Griffin, Ryler and Turin: (Stand by)

Preston: I don't know if your guys faith is placed correctly 

Griffin: You're what we got man, we have to rely on you

Hudson: You can learn to use it 

Prestyn: Indeed you can Preston, you have to really want it though 

Preston: Are you trying to tell me this fucker isn't working cause I don't want it enough

Prestyn: Precisely 

Preston: (fuming) I didn't ask for any of this shit man, I don't deserve it 

Prestyn: And yet the duty falls to you

Preston: Well Duty can go suck my dick! (he storms off)

Hudson: No

Griffin: So why would he start now, I for one don't think he would

Hudson: Indeed

 Brock: Bost you ain't got no game 

Boston: Oh Screw you 

Preston: (walks by sulking)

Romeo and Ethan: (sprawling shirtless)

Preston: (watches but then sulks off)

Caleb: Never should have put faith in him

Carson: It was a mistake 

William: Big one 

Noah FM: At least we no not to make it again (they glare at him as he walks on by)

Preston: (stands outside the Dragons cabin he looks at the pendant and bashes it against the wall and let's out a scream as music begins to swell) Everybody's always talkin' at me

Everybody's tryin' to get in my head
I wanna listen to my own heart talkin'
I need to count on myself instead (he shoves past Carson, Caleb William and Noah and sings at them)

Lose yourself to get what you want
(Did you ever)
Get on a ride and wanna get off
(Did you ever)
Push away the ones you should've held close
Did you ever let go?
Did you ever not know? (he storms off)

I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am
I'll give it all I got, that is my plan
When I find what I lost
You know you can
Bet on it, bet on it (looks into the middle distance)
Bet on it, bet on it (Bet on me)
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it
Bet on it, bet on it (he tosses the pedant and goes to retrieve it and sings more)
