Friday Night Lights-Dakota Riggins

ARE YOU READY FOR FRIDAY NIGHT?

TYRE'S HOUSE

Dakota and Tyre are laying under the covers naked, Tyra leans down peppering sweet kisses along Dakota's bare back, trailing her fingers up and down her arm.

Dakota opens her eyes and lifts her head up when the alarm clock goes off

Tyre: I'm sorry. I.....I.....I didn't mean to.....

Dakota reaches her hand over and turns the alarm off.

Tyre: You can just go back to sleep if you want to.

Dakota shakes her head, smiling. She grabs Tyre by the back of the neck pulling her down and kisses her. Tyre climbs on top of her as both girls smiles into the kiss. Dakota wraps her arms and legs around her body as their lips moves against each other passionately.

HOSPITAL

Dakota is walking down the hallway of the hospital, a cup of coffee in her hand. She sees Lyla heading down the hall towards her.

They look at each other for a moment until Lyla clears her throat.

Lyla: How's Tim's feeling?

Dakota: He's feeling better now.

Lyla: He should try going to practice without a hangover. I hear it's a totally different game.

Dakota: Yeah, that's what I keep telling him.

They both chuckle. Dakota tucks her hair behind her ear.

Dakota: So, uh.......you just come here to check on him?

Lyla: I'm here as a friend. It's the least I can do after you helped me with my dad the other night.

Dakota: What?

Lyla: Um......

Dakota: What?

Lyla: I think you should come to my church.

Dakota cracks a small smile then chuckles

Dakota: Uh........is this like a recruitment deal you got going? You know "Get them when they're down."

Lyla: No. No. I care about you, Kota

Dakota: What? Is that the idea?

Lyla: I see that you're lost which is exactly how I felt.

Dakota: I'm not lost. I just don't like religion. Period. This is Dillion. The backwards thinking home of the Panthers, right?

Lyla: You can be lost in Dillion, you know?

Dakota doesn't say anything as she simply looks at her for a long moment. Lyla's heart skips a beat while she stares into those eyes of hers.

COUPLE DAYS LATER

Dakota is sitting alone in her room staring at her laptop screen, biting her nails nervously. She sighs, closing her laptop, stands up and grabs her car keys leaving her room

LYLA'S CHURCH

The people in the church are standing up, clapping and singing along with the choir. Lyla is clapping her hands mouthing the words to the worship song.

Dakota walks down the aisle looking around the pews finding Lyla

Lyla sees her approaching her and smiles. Dakota stands beside her and kisses her on the cheek.

Later; the preacher is on the stage

Preacher: Jesus said "If you will just repent and be sorry for your past, I will take all of your past away."

The room claps loudly.

Preacher: Just say "Forgive me!" "Forgive me of my past." And then he said "Follow me in my burial." First of all, you follow Jesus in his death. You have a past you cannot do away with. You have a past that if you even think about it, it brings up so many horrible memories to you

Tears begins welling up in Dakota's eyes, Lyla looks down seeing her hands are shaking. She grabs her hand and laces their fingers together, lifting her hand up to her lips.

GARRITY HOUSE

Lyla throws a shirt down on the bed, only wearing shorts and a white lace bra. The door opens and Dakota walks into the room.

Dakota: Hi

Lyla: Kota!

She grabs a robe and quickly ties it around her body.

Lyla: What are you........get out of my room. Who let you in?

Dakota: Your brother.

Lyla: Get out.

Dakota: Two minutes. Please.

Lyla: Kota....

Dakota: Two minutes. That's all I'm asking.

Lyla sighs and nods her head

Dakota: Something happened to me that.........I have no idea what it was but I felt something.

Lyla: Okay.

Dakota: I felt something so strong that it made me wonder about everything you've been saying to me isn't as crazy as what everyone thought. It's hard for me to understand the feeling.

Lyla: Listen, it's okay

She reaches, grabbing Dakota's hand.

Dakota: It's kind of embarrassing.

Lyla: It's okay.

Dakota: It allowed me to feel part of something.

Lyla: Mm-hmm

Dakota: Part of the people. Part of you. Part of God or whoever made this.

Lyla stares at her as a small loving smile forms across her face.

Dakota: Even saying that is scary.

Lyla pulls her into her arms, Dakota wraps her arms around her laying her head on her shoulder as Lyla caresses her hair.

Dakota: Did you feel it?

Lyla nods her head.

Lyla: I felt it. I always feel it.

Dakota looks down at their joined hands and shallows a gulp. They both leans in, lips touching each other's in a passionate kiss.

They kiss for a few seconds until they both pulls away.

Dakota: I'm sorry.

Lyla: What are you doing?

Dakota: I......I......I don't know. I'll just go

She turns back to the door, opening it and leaves, closing the door behind her.
