Male 1:

Why am I so worried? She said she'll be back tonight. Yet, it's already night time. Maybe I should call her...? But then she'll think I'm too clingy. Ugh, what has this girl done to me? I'll just call Brody and see where they are. Why am I talking to myself in the first place?

Female 1:

Hey, I'm back. Are you okay? And why are you clutching onto your phone like your life depends on it?

Male 1:

I was about to call you, to see where you were. Did you eat?

Female 1:

N-no. I'm not hungry.

Male 1:

You haven't been eating for the past week, Joe. And you also look like you're going to faint anytime now. Please tell me you've been resting?

Female 1:

I don't have time to rest, Troy. There are other important things than my health.

Male 1:

Oh, really? And what are these "other important things?"

Female 1:

Someone else's health.

Male 1:

You can't always put other people's needs before your own.

Female 1:

Watch me.

Male 1:

Joe, it's not healthy-

*Female 1's cell phone rings and she picks it up*

Female 1:

Hello?... Hey, Mark, is every-... Okay, I'm on my way... Alright, bye. Oh, gosh. Please be okay.

Male 1:

Joe, what's going on? You need to calm down.

Female 1:

Don't tell me to "calm down!" I can't and I won't calm down! I-I need to go.

Male 1:

Well, I'm coming with you.

Female 1:

No, Troy, I'll be alright.

Male 1:

No, Joe. You are not driving in this state you're in, you'll crash. I'm going and that's final.

Female 1:

Ugh, why do guys have to be so demanding?

Male 1:

Where are we going, anyway?

Female 1:

The hospital.
