Title: Speechless
Scene 13: Inside/Ales Room/ Stephie and Ales House
There's the sound of a knock as Ale looks up from her dimly lit screen. One of her earphones lightly playing music as she stands and opens the door not bothering to turn on the lights.
Calum:(swallows a lump in his throat) Ale.
Ale:(eyes wide) How the fuck did you get in here?
Calum: I need to talk with you.
Ale: Don't you fucking dare to get close to me.
Calum: Okay, then I won't. I just want to speak.
Ale:(bitchy) I don't need to hear from your sorry ass.
Calum: Look I do feel bad I should have fucking stopped that guy from saying those words to you before time.
Ale: That's enough. Leave.
Calum: Ale just listen to me out loud.
Ale: Fucking get out.
Calum: No. I'm not going to until you decide to stop being a fucking bitch and listen to what I have to say.
Ale stays quiet and doesn't say a word as she looks at his lightly lit shadow.
Calum: I was stupid. I know better than for a man. Child, to speak to a woman like that. You deserve to be treated and handled like a rose and I let that asshole pick off your petals.
Ale: Your stupid analogies are doing you no good.
Calum: I'm just here to say that I know you can re flourish into something much stranger than him. Don't let what happened make you seem weak and vulnerable. Plus the fact that you insulted his dick makes a man feel worthless.
Ale lets out a small chuckle.
Ale: I did see the hurt in his face.
Calum: Just use that bitch attitude to your advantage.
Ale: Okay?
Calum: I have to go its late.
Calum walks out as Ale sits on her bed trying to come up with a way to say some kind of thank you but let's him leave instead.
Scene 14: Inside/Stephie's Room/ Ale and Stephie's House
Calum walks in and everyone else is sitting there tension between all of them.
Ashton: So, what'd she say?
Calum: (shrugs) Nothing. I told her to simply listen.
Luke: Is the guilt gone?
Calum:(nods) Yeah.
Ashton: Well I think it's best we leave before Stephie and Michael kill each other.
Calum:(nods) I can agree with you.
Luke, Michael, and Ashton climb out the window.
Maria: Go a head I'll catch up.
Stephie: You realize walking with them is like begging to get jumped.
Maria: Human shields Stephie.
Stephie: You should just stay.
Maria: Nah your grandma will throw a bitch fit and dislocate her hip trying to even get up from the couch.
