Don't Tell Anyone At All

Why Me?

Stephen is waiting outside of Sabrinaś school but he realizes that she has drama club after so he just walked home.

( Stephen walks in the house)

Charles: Hi, Stephen have a seat.

Stephen: No, I have stuff to do.

Charles: Have a seat, Stephen.

(Stephen sits down and Charles sits down after him)

Stephen: Charles, what do you want?

Charles: Look I've been with your mother for a long time now, and the thing I have to say is this is my house I will do want ever I want in my house. Is that clear?

Stephen: So this is about me catching you trying to rape my sister.

Charles: Look whatever little lie you made up in your head. I didn't do it.

Stephen: Look I was dumb enough to keep what you did to me a secret for all these years and now you want to pick on my sister, it's not going to happen as long as I am alive. Do you understand that, I'm not some scared little boy that you can pick and manipulate Charles, and before you even try to hurt my sister again I will kill you. 

( Charles laughs)

Charles: You see the thing about you is that you actually believe that little story, that you keep telling yourself?

Stephen: They are not lies, I tried to tell on you I cant believe my mom believed you over me. I wish she could see you for the bastard you really are.

Charles: Stephen you can keep believing that story if you want but I never put a hand on you. Remember I tough you football, basketball, hockey, soccer, baseball, swimming what to do on your first date, remember those days I never tried with you.

Stephen: But you tried with my sister, and you can deny me but cant deny her. 'Cause I physically saw you on top of her trying to lift up her skirt and pull down her panties you perv. 

Charles: I am going to stop this argument before it goes further than what it has to be.

Stephen: Because you are scared.  

(They both hear Ashley's car pull up ans two door-slams)

Charles: We'll talk later.

Stephen: Im counting on it.

( Stephen runs upstairs) 

( Charles thought)

Charles: Man, I remember him he was my favorite first time, now all I need is the little girl.

(Ashley and Sabrina walk in)

Ashley: Hi, honey. 

Charles: Hi. Sabrina how are you.

Sabrina: Fine.

( Stephen in the bathroom looking in the mirror splashing water in his face and throws up in the sink)

Stephen: Come on Steve, come on Steve, you got this you ain't no punk, not scared little boy. (starts too cry and then punches a whole in the wall)  

( Downstairs)

Sabrina: Did you hear that?

Ashley: Hear what?

Sabrina: Nothing, I'm going to see Stephen.

Ashley: Ok. 

( Sabrina leaves)

Charles: We need to talk.

Ashley: About what?

Charles: Let's go upstairs and talk.

Ashley: Ok, no problem.

( In their room and Charles closes the door)

Charles: We need to get the kids under control.

Ashley: Why, is this about the fight you guys had?

Charles: No your kids do not respect me and you are so focused on your job we don't even have sex as much or the way we use to.

Ashley: Look I'm not the one throwing punches and being aggressive with them, you can at least try and let bygones be bygones.

Charles: Let bygones be bygones in my house I don't think so, either I get respect or things are going to change.

Ashley: Watch your tone with me.

Charles: Look your kids do not want to see me when I am angry.

Ashley: You know I can be a demon.

Charles: And you know I can be a son of a bitch Ashley. Look I'm not trying to fight all I want is respect.

Ashley: Fine, I'll talk to them. Ok, I'll talk to them.

( Go to Stephen and Sabrina)

Sabrina: Steve your hand!

Stephen: I know, Im ok.

Sabrina: and why did you do that?

Stephen: I just got angry for a second. I will be fine just give me a while.

Sabrina: Sure.

(Sabrina goes to her room)

(Ashley and Charles are still fighting)

Charles: Do you not get this all I want is respect!

Ashley: You know what when I married you I thought I married a man that knows how to handle business not a scared little boy!

Charles: You know what I was not trying to fight but you take things to a higher level than what it has to be! I'm gonna give you sometime to cool down.

Ashley: Where are you going?!

Charles: Out. I'll see you in a few hours. (Leaves)

( Go to Stephen in his room, he has his paper and pen)

Stephen: Why does it seem like all the shit in the world has to happen to me, I wish I never was born, I wish I knew where my dad is now 'cause I would go and live with him, not with this pervert of a step-father. This always happens to me I always want to know why do you put the weight of the world on me.
