Broke city(live play)

Act 2

Drake watches the bus as it maneuvers away from him, through the jungle of cars, and he turns around to see a 3 story, brick home. The windows have no glass on them. The brick is cracked and faded. The only light source is Christmas tree lights strung all on the moss covered house(inside and out). The inside didn't look any better ether. The whole expanse of the house was nothing more then a camp site littered with sleeping bags, and blankets, you couldn't step 5 feet anywhere without stepping on someone's stuff and this was a 220,000 square foot house. It was the largest house in the city, and yet it was the most cluttered. Well at least the pluming was good. He walks in the door to see Kathy and Julie chatting it up. About 12 of the other members where there also, but they were spread out through the hole of the house, in they're own circles. No one else that he was really close to was there but Julie and Kathy(at the moment) . Julie sees Drake first her smile broadens...........

Julie;
DRAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!! How was work(embracing him)
Drake;
Ha it was work, you seem awfully exited to see me.
Kathy;
(holding both of his hands and looking deep into his eyes, then embracing him whispering in his ear)buddy what's wrong.
Drake;
(Hesitates)....i ah...oh I brought ravioli.
Julie;
Dude yes!!!! I'm so stoked lets open a can!!!
Drake;
Okay but we have to go to a secluded space, I'm not having people clamoring over me for a can.
Kathy;
(agitated)did you steal from Mr.Bunner again
Drake;
(Sarcastically)Would you rather us starve.
Julie;
(Awkwardly)ummmmm...Drake she's already pissy today please don't be an ass.
Kathy;
(squeezing his hand)Its fine Jewels I swear, if anything he makes me feel better(genuinely happy but with a slight under tone)...I LET him help me when I'm feeling cruddy.
Julie;
Ohhhhh(turning to Drake)what's wrong dude?
Drake;
Can I think about this for awhile before...i say anything? Its not really my business to tell guys.(looking meaningfully at Julie)
Julie;
Of course....but if you ever need to talk about it I'm here for you.
Kathy;
Me too bud(studying him long and hard)
Drake;
Of course, I know this...yawl would be the first ones id go to by the way...(curious)um you said that you were upset Kathy. What's the matter.
Julie;
(backing away)Do I need to go.....
Kathy;
No....(thinking)actually come on guys. Lets go upstairs and talk about this after we eat ravioli
Julie;
(Beaming)dude yes lets go!!!!chilling out with chef Boyardee. (doing a happy dance)
Drake;
Come now ladies to my palace of love.(putting his arms around both of them)
Kathy and julie;
(frowning)what!!!!
Drake;
(giggling)ha look I'm pulling two at the same time!
Julie;
(Giggling also)or are we pulling you(Julie and Drake both laugh hysterically)
Kathy;
(Smiling and shaking her head)you guys are nuts. Come along now children.

They walk to the upstairs bedroom with his bag and his lighter. They stepped over several drunk June squad residents on they're way to the room. The horrible smell of vomit lingered in the air. Drake sniffed the air deeply as a joke and almost threw up in the process. But he didn't care. He was with friends. They were his family, and why let bad smells get in the way of good times. The morale here was low enough as it was, if he didn't enjoy life then who would. They walked into an empty room, well besides two high twins(Jimmy and Corey, who were infamous ass holes) giggling in the corner, it was empty. Jimmy had his world famous baby blue bong in hand........

Jimmy;
Hello ladies(coughing and taking another puff from his bong)Drake
Julie;
Hello jimmy(trying not to laugh)Corey.
Kathy;
(frustrated)Do you mind guys we need to talk about a serous matter
Corey;
Not at all(motioning to his lap)sit right here. Lets talk about the first thing that comes up(Julie loses it and starts laughing uncontrollably, in turn, so does jimmy and Corey)
Drake;
(awkwardly)Ummmmmm......
Kathy;
(hurt)DRAKE!!!!
Drake;
(angry now)Come on guys. That's my girl friend. Show some respect!
Corey;
Of course! Sorry dear it's the blow. We meant no....(looking at Jimmy)..what was I saying
Jimmy;
I think you were telling us the story of how Drakes family burnt up like his sexy squeeze is right now, HOT, HOT, HOT(both giggling)
Julie;
(Drake gasps as if being choked, both Julie and Kathy ball there fists and narrow they're eyes, but Julies first to it)I will pummel the living crap out of you.
Kathy;
(rolling her eyes and gritting her teeth)lets just talk, they wont remember anything that's said anyways
Corey;
Yes we...
Julie;
(angry now, threateningly)Shut up both of you!!!(they both pipped up)Kathy you have the floor.
Kathy;
Something happened, now I haven't decided if its good or bad but(taking Drakes hands)its just...I'm...
Corey;
(shouting)LESPIAN!!!!!(Julie threw a beer bottle witch shattered on the wall behind him)yikes!!!!
Julie;
She's pregnant Drake
Drake;
(Panicked)how! When!
Corey;
You knocked her up obviously(giggling)
Julie;
(growling)I will destroy you if you speak again....
Jimmy;
Nooooo its Drake who did the destroying! Plow that field boy!!!!(laughing hysterically)
Julie;
SHUT THE FU.......
Kathy;
(putting her hand on Julie's arm)......Remember the night that we went camping....
Drake;
This cant be. This isn't.....(looking in her eyes)I'm exited I really am but we can barley afford to feed ourselves. There's no hospitals....even if we can successfully deliver the baby how are we going to care for it....(panicked, crying)
Kathy;
Hush, it will be okay I promise you it will be(searching his eyes)
Julie;
(playfully and awkwardly)well now you know why she's so moody.
Kathy;
(holding Drake as he cries)to soon jewels. To soon.

His world came crashing down. But at the same time it was up lifting. He couldn't deliver, or much less provide for a baby. He couldn't imagine a baby living in this city ether. I mean really! Broke city. Iconic for its gangs, crumbled buildings and sex trafficking, what kid deserves this life. And Drake would know he grew up here. After his family died in a house fire, he was on the streets. seeing crime on a daily basis. Stealing food. Seeing loved ones destroyed by drugs. Yet, he (Drake Penn) was going to be a father. A FATHER!!!! It was so..........over whelming! And here was this amazing strong beautiful girl, playing the motherly role to this weak guy, who's about to be...a dad. The father of this stunning-young-women's child......
Drake;
I don't deserve you.
Kathy;
Drake don't say that. Of course you do.
Drake;
No I don't! You are so talented and strong and...
Jimmy;
Don't forget 10 times hotter then you!!!!(howling with laughter)
Julie;
THAT'S IT ASS HOLE(punching jimmy full out in the face and nocking him out, looking at Corey)do you want some too
Corey;
(shaking his head wide eyed)bump that I'm out(stumbles out of the room)
Julie;
Go on drake
Drake;
I'm....(not sure where to start)ever since I've known you, you've always been there. If I was sick. You'd take care of me. If I was hurting...you'd put aside your own problems to help me(crying)I'm so weak how can I raise a child.
Kathy;
(softly)You raised Jewels buddy, its not that different....
Drake;
Of course it was, she was 7. not a knew born!
Julie;
Oh my god Drake! You were 9. That's a pretty big deal. I understand that this is a stressful situation, but for god sakes, Stop with the petty pity party.(her voice softens) do you not remember the first night we met. I do. It was pouring out side. I was sitting in the middle of the road sobbing. sitting on the wet asphalt waiting for the next bus to come barreling down the road and....(anger rising)I was just hungry and tired of being alone, I had no one! Do you hear me NO ONE!!!!! And then I saw you standing over me, you held out your hand and.....you covered me in blankets so I wouldn't freeze! You fed me so I wouldn't starve! You fought and bled and protected me! I loved you. I still do! You did something for me that my..(falters)...my father couldn't. He threw me out like I was trash....but you(her voice softens and she starts to cry)you've always been my hero. You've always fought for me. You are the strongest person I know and your still here. You never left...(bawling)
Kathy;
(soothingly)Why don't we open up some chef Boyardee guys(as Kathy, Julie, and Drake all hold each other)
Julie;
(wiping her face and smiling)Yeah that sounds great actually!
Drake;
(nodding)Lets do it.
