Enduring Fate (completed)

Stay High

what happened?

Probably you were right Jed, Thomas left me, again

Jane,..

no! I don't want you to console me! I am not a child, Jed.

....

... I am sorry Jed, I didn't meant that

It's okay, but Ja...

Just leave me alone. Please.

It's almost dark, Jed finally pins her cellphone and gets out to find her.

He sees her car in front of a bar. As soon as he enters he sees Jane standing on the bar slab dancing on the beat, beside her is another man touching her.

Jane is uncomfortable and drunk.

hey, hey, hey! (As he pulls the man down)

Jed holds him, punches him on the face and throw him on the ground, he gets close to punch him again when people pulls him back.

easy, easy, easy man, chill.

you want me to chill? Stay away from her!

what is she, your girlfriend? She was asking for it anyway.

you son of a bitch!! (As he grabs him again)

The crowd breaks them up.

Jane sits on the counter and laughs

All i need is pop corns, oh my god, Jed. I should have recorded that

you think this is funny!?

Jane laughs. she is drunk

Jane,this is not my life, you are not my responsibility, I can't console you every time ...

Go on, I am listening

... I am sorry

I never asked you to Jed

....

She laughs again

how much did you drink?

look at you, you can't leave me alone, huh?

Come on we are going home.

Jane holds Jed collars and pulls him closer as she sits on the counter of the bar. She brings him closer and closer between her legs and holds his face.

(whispers) you just can't leave me alone, can you?

...

Why can't you leave me alone Jed?

She stares at his face, she leans close to kiss him. She kisses him on his lips, then again, Jed kisses her back once and then he pulls her away.

Jane... no, you are drunk.

Jane hugs him and falls asleep on his shoulder. Jed picks her up in his arms and takes her home.

She wakes up after few hours, it's almost midnight, beside her a glass of water and some pills are kept.

She haves them; makes two cups of coffee and takes them to the balcony where Jed was leaning against the railing.

Jed...

how are you feeling?

okay I guess, here (As she gives him a cup of coffee)

thanks.

listen Jed, I am sorry about earlier in the b...

it's okay, you were drunk.

thank you for whatever you did there. And I am sorry it won't happen again, I promise. you were right this is wrong I am not your responsibility.

I didn't meant anything I said there, you are my friend and I will go to all lengths to make sure you are okay.

Jane sighs and stands close beside Jed as they stare the dark sky in which the stars sparkled.

god, I am so lucky to have you.

Jed smiles and bumps his shoulder to her.

Jane smiles back.
