It is now a late saturday morning and at the entrance of the whole university, Gail just arrived there to also attend the ceremony for all the victims including Stevie who died in the prom incident a week ago......
*a taxi stops in front of the entrance of the university*
Gail: (seriously and silently walks out of the taxi) thank you sir... have a great day... (pats and closes the taxi)
*the taxi left*
Gail: (takes a deep breath) (sadly looks at the large tiled wall with the carved names of the victims of the prom from the entrance of the university) (feels emotional) (in her mind) Stevie.... no matter how annoying I would sound... I would always remind you and myself that you shouldn't have been part of this.....
Jameson: (walks at the sidewalk outside the university) (notices Stevie and confusedly approaches the entrance of the university) ugh.... hey......
Gail: huh? (looks confused noticing Jameson) ugh... (looks down sadly) hey..... you early huh??
Jameson: (nods) yeah.... I am.... and... (looks around) are you also volunteering?? you also are early....
Gail: volunteering?? to what?
Jameson: ugh... (shyly speaks) the reason why I am early is because I am also going to help organize the ceremony later.... you know.... (keeps looking around) to earn money..... they said I can earn for helping today and actually... I just do not want Sam to do these stuffs so I am doing......
Gail: okay? (feels awkward) you do not have to mention your boyfriend and..... honestly.... I do not care but..... you do not have to baby Sam like this......
Jameson: but why not? (suddenly feels confused at Gail) am I being too much on him?
Gail: no ugh... (shakes her head) (feels guilty) I shouldn't have said anything.... like why would I care..... right??? (about to enter the entrance to the university)
Jameson: no ugh Gail.... (holds Gail's arm) you can care about us now.... and forget all our dark past..... honestly..... I actually want to approach you because we also do care about you.... Sam does......
Gail: he doesn't have to Jameson... (shakes his head) (takes off his hand from Jameson) and please stop holding me...... you are right... let's forget about the dark past so please... let me leave you all alone.... and leave me alone as well.... (angrily looks at Jameson)
Jameson: (looks offended at Gail looking angry at him) why are you still lik this Gail??? do not tell me that you are still bitter about Sam...
Gail: how dare you... (offensively loons at Jameson)
Jameson: because sure... I do not want to sugarcoat it anymore... me approaching you is not because I just want to meet you.... it is not because I care for you but because.... you have been dodging everything my boyfriend does for you..... not even acknowledge it.... as if that is not what Stevie would like....
Gail: which he doesn't have to do?? and do not bring up Stevie... (angrily looks at Jameson) are you that dumb to not understand?!! so please.... get away from me and tell that to your stupid boyfriend!
Jameson: (feels emotionally hurt by Gail) do not dare call him that! (looks down sadly) you are ungrateful.... he was trying to help.... (tears fall on his face)
Gail: (looks down guilty) (looks nervous at Jameson) I gotta go... (enters the entrance of the university) (left)
Jameson: (keeps feeling disappointed by Gail) (shakes his head) shit....
It is now early in the afternoon and it is now the actual ceremony of the victims who died in prom..... at the stage, Sir Fieldman was there giving a long speech for everyone.......
Sir Fieldman: so.... (stands on a podium at the stage) (looks at all the audiences) I want you all to give you silence and respects for a while to all your classmates who died back ay prom.....
Desiree: (sitting at the audience) (feels stressed) (whispers to Henry and Baron) honestly... your teacher Sir Fieldman should not do ceremonies like this... the dead people would not like it.......
Henry: (looks confused at Desiree) Desiree... (whispers) you are so unhinged lately......
Baron: (whispers to Henry and Desiree) would you all be quiet??!! (silently tries to pray)
Parker: (silently laughs watching Henry, Desiree and Baron)
Mason: (feels Parker laughing on his side) what the? (looks confused at Parker)
Parker: oh ugh... (looks guilty at Mason noticing him laughing) (looks down and prays) sorry.....
Jameson: (stares sadly at the carved names in the huge tiled wall in the center of the front of the university)
Sam: (sadly looks at Jameson) baby?
Jameson: huh? (listens to Sam)
Sam: you have been silent even before this ceremony started.... is everything okay??? (holds Jameson's hand)
Jameson: yeah... (sadly looks around) (notices Gail) (looks away) everything is fine..... just that type of day....
Gail: (seriously looks at Jameson noticing him)
Sam: (notices Gail seriously looking at Jameson) ugh.... (looks down sadly) (shakes his head) hope better days are ahead after this...
Gail: (sadly looks away from Jameson and Sam)
Jameson: do not worry baby.... (whispers to Sam) (suddenly notices Kyler at the other side of the seats) there will be better and I will make sure of that... nobody can hurt you... I promise.... (feels emotional) (keeps staring angrily at Kyler)
Kyler: (notices Jameson staring angrily at him) (guiltily looks down)
Mason: (notices Jameson and Kyler looking at each other) (feels sad)
Mr. Fieldman: so... (looks at everyone)
now as we mention all the victims... you all can now light up your candles to the victims......
*everyone nods*
Gail: (slowly stands up with her candle)
*Bentley and Clint watches Gail from behind*
Bentley: (smiles at Gail) oh Gail..... do you have extra candles??
Gail: huh? (notices Bentley and Clint from behind her seats) (feels offended)
Clint: would you literally be respectful Bentley? (looks offended at Bentley) I am... (guiltily looks back at Gail) sorry.....
*everyone notices Clint, Gail and Bentley*
Gail: (looks guilty and emotional at Clint) please just stop talking... (approaches the huge tiled wall with the victims' names)
Baron: (angrily looks at Bentley) such an asshole... as always.....
Parker: (looks concerned at Baron) lets just... avoid him forever...
Henry: Parker is right.... (nods)
Mason: (sadly keeps looking down and prays silently)
Jameson: (looks sadly at Sam) you wanna light up a candle?
Sam: (shakes his head sadly) (watches Gail lighting up a candle at the tiled wall) maybe in another day.... Stevie is one important to us but... seeing these names... (feels emotional) such lives lost in a place that everyone should be enjoying......
Mason: never again.. (sadly looks at Sam)
Sam: hopefully... never again... (looks down sadly)
Jameson: (hugs Sam)
Gail: (touches the carved name of Stevie on the wall) (in her mind) sorry Stevie.... will always be... (tears fall on her face)
After the ceremony, Sam and Jameson spent their rest of the day at the rooftop of the university alone......
*Sam and Jameson cuddles while staring at the sunset*
Sam: babe? (keeps staring at the sunset) can I ask? I just wonder.....
Jameson: sure? what is it? (looks confused at Sam)
Sam: I may have said this before but..... do you still look at me the same? especially you heard all the secrets I have hidden......
Jameson: (emotionally looks at Sam) Sam... all those you hid are hidden for a reason..... I love you for who you are.... and it never changed.... if one thing does... it is us being stronger and there for each other more... and hopefully these days... weeks and months.... (hugs Sam from behind) or years... it would be easier... because we got nothing to hide anymore.....
Sam: (nods) (tears fall on his face) but I will always be haunted by the past still..... I am scared everytime I may remember it.......
Jameson: and that's when I come in to protect... (holds and kisses Sam's cheeks and lips) just think... we got nothing to lose anymore.... and I can assure you... you can never lose me and I'll never let me lose you.....
Sam: (nods and blushes down) (softly holds Jameson's hands wrapping on his body) don't let me go....
This is it... what could the future hold for everyone? Tune in as a flash go the forward occurs...
