BETTY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Betty sits on her bed, surrounded by the soft glow of her string lights as she scrolls through old pictures and videos on her phone. Each image captures moments of laughter and friendship between her and James, memories of happier times that now feel bittersweet.
As she flips through the photos, a wave of nostalgia washes over her, reminding her of the connection she once shared with James. But with each passing moment, the reality of their situation becomes increasingly clear – they won't be together no matter how much she wished any prayed she would never love her as much as she loved him...
Frustration mounts inside Betty as she paces back and forth in her room, her mind consumed by thoughts of what could have been. She throws her phone onto her bed with a groan of exasperation, feeling overwhelmed by the weight of her emotions.
Betty knows she needs to come to terms with the fact that her relationship with James is no longer possible or was it ever even possible. It's a painful realization, but one she knows she must confront in order to move forward.
With a heavy sigh, Betty takes a deep breath and wipes away a stray tear. She may not have all the answers right now, but she's determined to find peace within herself and let go of the lingering hope that still clings to her heart.
As she sinks onto her bed, surrounded by the echoes of their shared past, Betty begins to accept the truth – her journey with James has come to an end, but a new chapter awaits, filled with possibility and hope for the future.
FADE OUT.
